I want to buy a jade Buddha, but I don't know what kind of jade is suitable.

Men wear Guanyin and women wear Buddha. Dushan jade and China are famous jade produced in Nanyang, Henan.

The best jade should be Hetian jade in Xinjiang, but it is more expensive, generally above 500 yuan. Anything below this price is fake.

The cheaper one is xiuyu.

There are many kinds of jade, and the method of distinguishing between true and false is roughly the same.

Recognition methods include: seeing, listening and testing.

Look, mainly depends on the crystal transparency, real jade has strong transparency and oily luster;

Listen, Zhen Yu's voice is crisp, but her voice is dull;

In the test, the real jade scratched the glass, but the jade itself was intact.

Common fake jade includes plastic, stained glass, marble, electrochromic fake jade made of jade powder and crystal with salt water, imitation jade containing nitrate, etc. And their identification methods are different.

Plastic is lighter than jade, and its hardness is poor, so it is generally easy to identify.

It's easy to distinguish between painting and getting off work. As long as you take it under the light or check it in the sun, you will see many bubbles in the glass.

It is difficult to distinguish fake jade by electric color. Its purpose is to electroplate inferior jade and then coat it with a beautiful emerald appearance, so it is easy to mistake it for real jade. At this time, you need to observe carefully. If there are some small cracks with blue in the green, it is fake jade. Because electroplating will leave cracks, experts call it "spider claws". It is also said that if the electro-colored fake jade is put in hot oil, the electroplating color will fade and return to its original color.

Synthetic jade made of jade powder, crystal and salt water is an imitation dark old pit jade. The identification method is simple, that is, their specific gravity is different. The specific gravity of natural jade is 3.3-3.4, while that of synthetic jade is only 2.8. Weigh by hand, or use a balance to distinguish between true and false.

Jade imitated with nitrate looks whiter and smoother than jade. The ancients said, "Jade is better than salt, so it must be high." That is, white jade should be as advanced as nitrate. It can be seen that nitrate and jade are difficult to distinguish. However, the facts are different after all. As far as color is concerned, white jade is often blue, and white is rare, while nitrate is pure white. As far as jade is concerned, jade is moist and delicate, as fat as cream. Nitrate is wet, but there are thieves in it. White jade is a natural product, and it is difficult to have a unified structure, including jade ribs and jade flowers. If nitrates are manufactured artificially, there is no such appearance. White jade has a solid texture and no bubbles can be found. No matter how well nitrate is treated, bubbles and pores are often exposed. If you know these items, you won't regard nitrate products as jade articles.

Discrimination of jadeware authenticity

Emerald is expensive, and the selection technology is very demanding. It is difficult for most consumers to distinguish its advantages and disadvantages, and it is easy to buy inferior products or fakes with a little carelessness and suffer huge economic losses. There are many jade shops in the market, and jade articles are generally divided into nephrite and jadeite. Emerald is also called emerald. Academically speaking, nephrite is a silicate containing calcium, magnesium and iron; Jadeite is a silicate containing sodium and aluminum.

Here are the advantages and disadvantages of jadeite, and the methods to distinguish between true and false:

Identification method of water → Drop a drop of water on jade, if it is dewdrop-shaped, it is real jade; The water droplets disappear quickly, which is a fake.

Touch by hand → Real jade will feel cold and lubricated if touched by hand.

Inspection method → Put jade in bright places such as sunshine and light. If the color is clear and the green is evenly distributed, it is a real jade.

Licking the tongue → licking the real jade with the tip of the tongue has a astringent feeling; Fake jade has no astringency.

Magnifying glass viewing method → Put the purchased jade under a magnifying glass to watch, mainly to see whether there are cracks. The jade without cracks is the best quality jade, followed by cracks. Even if it is real jade, the value of cracks is greatly reduced. The more cracks, the more obvious and the lower the value.
