What is Yang Green Emerald?
Yang green is one of the proper nouns of the green grade of jadeite, which means that jadeite is slightly transparent to translucent in color, bright in green, yellowish and bright, just like the new leaves of boxwood in early spring. Poplar green jadeite has a high grade among green jadeite, and there are many collectors. Yang Biyu is as blue as a lake. Although it is not as thick as green jade, it is well carved and expensive.
In addition, there is a kind of light green jade, which is a kind of royal green with yellow salt sand skin. The skin is thin, almost all green under the skin, and the color and jade are even, bright and thick, belonging to high green and rare.
Looking at its hue in the sun, a good green jade is pure in hue and will not be mixed with other variegated colors. In addition, the colors are bright and evenly distributed.
Now, Lao Wang, let me talk about how jadeite is identified.
Listen to its sound.
Listen to the sound when you knock on jade. Natural jadeite has a dense internal structure and no bubbles, and it will make a crisp sound when it is knocked. And the sound of artificial jade will have a feeling of tightness.
Check its hardness with a knife.
Check its hardness with a knife. The quality of natural jadeite is hard. You can scratch the surface of jade with a knife. If it is real jade, there will be no trace. When you look at its color in the sun, a good jadeite is pure and will not be mixed with other variegated colors, with bright colors and even distribution. However, there are many artificially colored jadeites on the market now, which can be put into melted wax liquid. If it is artificial coloring, the pigment will slowly precipitate out, but with the development of coloring technology, this method is not necessarily reliable.
Look at the processing level
Looking at the processing level, as the saying goes, the quality of processing level has a great influence on the price. Generally speaking, the processing level can be seen from the surface smoothness, polishing, shape and artistic modeling.
Feel the weight of jade
Feel the weight of jade, because the internal structure of jade is dense, so it feels heavy in your hand, unlike glass imitation.
Look for flaws, usually cracks, spots, black spots, etc. These defects will affect the quality of jadeite. Generally, the price of jadeite with cracks is much lower than that of jadeite without cracks of the same kind. You can observe the surface of jade carefully under the light, or you can observe it with a magnifying glass.
Distinguish jadeite with water
To identify jadeite with water, you can drop a drop of water on jadeite to see if it slips. If it is really jade, the water drops will be dewdrops and last for a long time.
Feel its texture.
You can touch the jade surface with your hands, and the real jade will feel cold and slippery.
In addition, the newly bought jadeite is basically soaked in clear water for several hours, cleaned with a soft brush (toothbrush), and then dried with a clean cotton cloth before wearing it. When jade jewelry is stored, it should generally be packaged separately and cannot be mixed with other jewelry to prevent damage to jade jewelry. Now you know how to identify jadeite jade!
