What is the hardness of jadeite and crystal?
Question 1: Which is harder, crystal or jade? The hardness of crystal is the same as that of jade, which is 7 degrees Mohs. Both of them have the characteristics of hard and brittle texture and are not easy to carve.

Question 2: Which hardness is better, jade or green ghost crystal? The hardness of jadeite is usually between 7.8 and 8.5. Of course, jadeite has high hardness.

Question 3: What is the hardness of jadeite, agate, tiger eye stone and crystal? The hardness of jadeite is usually between 7.8 and 8.5 on the Mohs hardness scale.

Agate hardness Mohs 7 degrees, translucent, glass luster.

Mohs hardness of tiger eye stone: 7 degrees

The hardness of the crystal is 7 degrees Mohs hardness.

Question 4: What's the difference between jade and crystal? Emerald, also known as jadeite, jadeite and Burmese jade, is a kind of jade, and its color is emerald or red. It is a jade-grade polycrystal mainly composed of jadeite, omphacite and sodalite, which was formed in geological process.

Edit the common varieties in this paragraph.

Shi Ying crystal is a colorless and transparent large-scale timely crystal mineral. Its main chemical composition is silicon dioxide.

Pure and transparent is generally white and grayish white, and when milky white contains impurities, it appears purple, red, smoke, tea and other colors. The crystal plane is glassy, fractured or oily.

Question 5: The relationship and difference between crystal, agate, jade and jadeite. The composition of crystal is silicon dioxide, and the mineral name is Yingshi, which is one of the most common minerals on the earth.

Agate is microcrystalline and its composition is the same as that of crystal, that is, silicon dioxide.

Jade is the floorboard of jadeite and nephrite. Jade is called jadeite, and its composition is aluminum silicate with hardness of 7. Nephrite is calcium magnesium aluminum silicate with hardness of 6.5. Hetian jade belongs to nephrite.

The composition of crystal and agate is the same, but the difference is that crystal is a single crystal, and agate has no crystal structure.

Question 6: Is it better to wear jade or crystal? Which is more effective? You are better, not that the effect is strong or not.

You don't have to be limited to jade or crystal.

Check your five elements.

Then wear it according to the color.

When the five elements are insufficient:

Five elements are not enough, gold, wood, water, fire and earth.

Remedial color yellow green blue red brown

When the five elements are redundant:

Five elements of Jin Mu are too rich in fire, water and soil.

Remedial color blue red green brown yellow

Question 7: The difference between jadeite and jade, and the difference between diamond and crystal. Because people's love for jade is increasing day by day, the value of jade with good color is rising. Because jade has a price, criminals take advantage of some people's ignorance of jade, and often use natural stones or artificial glass with similar appearance to jade to pretend to be jade, so as to achieve the purpose of profiteering and make some ignorant consumers suffer losses. Therefore, we must know something about some similar jadeite rough stones that may appear in the market. Several common similar stones are introduced as follows:

(A) the difference between nephrite and jadeite

We often hear about Hetian jade, Taiwan jade and Canadian jade. And suet white jade, jasper, sapphire, jet, etc. , mineralogically belongs to the * * * body called nephrite. Nephrite is not found in China ancient books, but comes from modern mineralogy. Nephrite is a special body composed of amphibole minerals. Nephrite can be divided into white jade, sapphire, jasper, jet, topaz, sugar jade and other important varieties according to its color. The difference between nephrite and jadeite is as follows:

1. nephrite is relatively uniform in color, including white, dark green and dark green. , no bright green.

2. Nephrite is oily and shiny, and there is no emerald.

3. The proportion of nephrite (3.00) is slightly lower than that of jadeite.

4. The refractive index of nephrite (1.62) is also slightly lower than that of jadeite.

(2) The difference between Ma Laiyu and Emerald.

In the 1980s, a kind of green, bright and uniform jade appeared in the jade market, and many people were deceived by beading or ring-face, thinking it was a rare high-grade jade. What exactly is this jade? This kind of jade is called Malaysian jade (also called Ma Laiyu for short), which is just a name. Malaysian jade is not produced in Malaysia. It is the name of a kind of fake jade brought to the Yunnan border by some Indian and Pakistani businessmen in the early days of mainland opening. Ma Laiyu is actually a very fine quartzite dyed green, but it is obviously different from jadeite:

1. With the naked eye, the color of Malaysian jade is too bright and unnatural.

2. The proportion of Malaysian jade is 2.65, which is much smaller than that of jadeite from 3.24 to 3.43.

3. The average refractive index of Malaysian jadeite is 1.55, which is lower than that of jadeite.

4. The color will not turn red under the Charles filter, but the dye can be observed under the ten times lens, that is, the color floats, which is a dyeing phenomenon.

(c) The difference between Australian jade (chrysotile) and jadeite.

Macau jade, also known as Nanyang jade, is named after its abundance in Australia. Because of its green color, it is very popular with people. It has certain transparency, fine particles and low price, which once puzzled some people. In fact, it is an aphanitic SiO2, which is mineralogically called chalcedony or chalcedony. Australian jade can't be called jade strictly, it should be chrysoprase. Its appearance is quite like jade, but the difference with jade is as follows:

1. Australian jadeite is too uniform in color, showing raw apple green, rarely dark green, much like plastic.

2. With a magnifying glass, Australian jadeite can never see emeralds.

3. Australian jadeite with a specific gravity of 2.60 is much lighter than jadeite (3.24 ~ 3.43).

4. The refractive index of Australian jadeite is 1.55, which is lower than that of jadeite.

(4) The difference between Dongling jade and jadeite.

In the jewelry market, there is a kind of translucent beaded beads, the color is medium green (its depth changes) (occasionally carved into ornaments). Because of its green color and low price, it is welcomed by many ladies. What is this beading? Asked the seller, he replied that this is Dongling jade made in India. Dongling jade, also known as Dongling stone, was first born in India, so it is also called Indian jade. It is also produced in China and Henan. Some people call it Ying, but the correct name should be Ying. The differences between Dongling jade and jadeite are as follows:

1. It can be seen from perspective light that there are parallel green chromite mica flakes in Dongling jade. Side ... >>

Question 8: What's the difference between jadeite, precious stones, diamonds, crystals and jadeite? How to tell? Treasure, jade and stone are clearly distinguished, that is to say, either jade or stone, there is no jade. Treasures: precious stones (diamonds, sapphires, rubies, emeralds), semi-precious stones (crystals, agates, turquoise, lapis lazuli, olivine, opal, wood and stone ............) Jade: Hetian jade, jadeite, jasper, Nanyang jade, xiuyan jade ...) Stone: Tianhuang, bloodstone, Gansu wine. The theoretical basis of naked eye identification is that different gems have different characteristics in appearance and physical properties. The method of identifying gems with naked eyes is as follows: 1) The first thing to pay attention to is to observe the color of gems. No matter what kind of gem it is, with the different color and tone of the gem, the scope of identification is somewhat narrowed. The special olive green of olivine makes us feel at home. A few gems are bright emeralds, such as emeralds, garnets and some dyed gems. Black gems are only Wugang stone, coal crystal, tourmaline, diopside and biotite. Purple gemstones include amethyst, purple sapphire, spinel and cubic zirconia. When distinguishing jadeite, Malaysian jade and chrysotile, if carefully observed, we can find that jadeite is unevenly distributed in green, its fracture is dim and serrated, Malaysian jade is filiform in color, its fracture is glassy and sandy, and chrysotile is ivory and evenly distributed. Dyed jadeite is unnatural in color and concentrated in cracks, while true jadeite is natural in color and distribution. The naked eye identification of ruby and spinel shows that ruby is somewhat multicolored, and sometimes hexagonal ribbons can be seen when placed in water, while red spinel is absolutely uniform in color. 2) Look at transparency Transparency can be used to understand the quality of gems. Generally speaking, the transparency of the same gem is more precious. Transparency can also be used to distinguish gems with similar colors but different kinds. For example, spinel and cinnabar root are similar in color, but spinel is transparent, and some cinnabar roots are opaque or translucent. So are topaz and sapphire. Topaz is a transparent crystal, and sapphire is divided into transparent, translucent and opaque. 3) Seeing the luster of a shiny gem is an important basis for naked eye identification, and a satisfactory refraction range can be roughly judged. Gloss is determined by refractive index and smoothness of polished surface. Waxy and shiny jade has poor polishing surface, and silky luster indicates that there are many needle-like inclusions in the gem. Amber may have a resin luster, and the curved surface is rich in color, translucent and cloud-like. The sky blue and milky luster is the ice Lunatone. Sodium moonstone with pearl luster and elongated moonstone with yellow-brown and blue luster. It is the sunshine stone that glows golden in the sun. Diamonds have a typical diamond luster. 4) Try the hardness of some gems with similar appearance, and you can distinguish them clearly by testing their hardness. Such as diamond, zircon, crystal, etc. Although the appearance is similar, the hardness is different. Diamonds can scratch zircon and crystals, but crystals can't scratch zircon. Another example is ruby, spinel, tourmaline, purple tooth black and so on. They are all red gems. Knowing their hardness differences, we can compare and distinguish them by carving. The following points should be paid attention to when distinguishing gems by hardness: This method has two limitations. First, some gems with similar colors have similar hardness, such as zircon and purple tooth black; Secondly, there is nothing we can do about artificial gem, because artificial gem is very similar to natural gemstones in physical properties. Don't push too hard when testing, especially don't knock and grade, but drag and grade slowly. Don't test from only one direction, but from different directions, because the hardness of gemstones in different directions is different. For example, kyanite has a hardness of 4.5 degrees in terms of crystal elongation, which can be carved with a knife, but the hardness in the direction perpendicular to it is as high as 6 degrees or more. Gems, especially gems, can't be carved casually. A safer and more reliable method is to use ground mineral polishing sheets to test. For example, to distinguish the authenticity of a warping stone, it can be used to carve an artificial spinel polishing sheet (hardness 8). If it can mark synthetic spinel, its hardness must be above 8 degrees, which may be ruby. 5) For experienced appraisers, it is a secret to estimate the proportion of precious stones by hand, which needs more practice to master. For example, the specific gravity of diamond and colorless artificial cubic zirconia is similar to that of diamond, and the specific gravity of cubic zirconia is 5.8, which is the same size. & gt

Question 9: Who will wear the crystal and jade together? The hardness of crystal is 7, and the hardness of Feiding is 6.5 ~ 7 because it is not a single crystal.

In theory, if the crystal and jade are put together, the jade will be polished first, but in practice, both will be polished.

Question 10: Are there any crystals and jadeites that can be worn with jadeite? Both belong to jadeite with high hardness. As long as they are worn together, there will inevitably be subtle wear marks on the surface.

If it is a bracelet made at intervals, it is best to match the beads to avoid friction. If you wear two accessories, such as left hand jade and right hand crystal, you will be fine.
