How do ordinary people identify Hetian jade?

1, lighting method

You can use a strong flashlight or a mobile phone flash to illuminate Hetian jade. If hollow bubbles are found in jadeite, jadeite can be synthesized. If you see a cotton-wool structure, it is Hetian jade. If you see granular structure, it is Dongling stone or quartz stone.

Step 2 touch with your hands

For seed materials, you will feel a sense of resistance, which is the friction between the "sweat pores" in jade and the hands. The roller seed material will be smoother and smoother when touched by hand, and it will feel slippery.

3. Look at the luster

The purpose of this method is to observe the reflective surface of natural hetian jade in the sun, which is uniform during the rotation process, while the polished surface can be observed in imitation hetian jade, which is linear and flaky, and the reflective luster changes during the rotation process.

Step 4 look at the pores

Natural hetian jade seed material has "sweat pores" of different sizes, while the pores of imitation seed material are too regular and unnatural.

Second, Hetian jade:

One of the "Four Famous Jade in China" (the third is lantian jade in Shaanxi, Xiuyu in Liaoning and dushan jade in Henan). The traditional narrow category refers to the jade produced in Hotan area of Xinjiang, which is famous for its "inferior material". Hetian jade in a broad sense refers to nephrite (real jade). Although Hetian jade is named after Hetian, Xinjiang, it is not a regional concept in itself, nor does it refer to the jade produced in Hetian, Xinjiang, but the name of a class of products. China named all the stones with tremolite accounting for more than 98% as Hetian jade, which are within the national standards.

Texture of Hetian jade:

Texture is a comprehensive expression of jade, including shape, moisture, cracks, impurities and so on. The mineral composition of Hetian jade determines its excellent texture:

(1) Because of its extremely fine particles, its texture is very delicate, which is what the ancients called "fine chestnut", which is beyond the reach of other jade.

(2) warm and humid. It is oily luster, giving people a moist and soft feeling. The ancients called it "moist and shiny", and sheep fat jade is famous for moistening jade like sheep fat.

(3) Moderate transparency. That is, the "good head" is slightly transparent. The carved jade pieces look watery and lively.

(4) Very few impurities. Some are seamless and consistent inside and outside, which is what the ancients said, "flaws don't cover up Yu, yoga doesn't cover up flaws", or "cheeks can be learned from other countries."
