Is there any synthetic carbonate jade?

Carbonate jade is a kind of synthetic jade, which usually consists of natural ore and synthetic resin. Because its appearance and physical properties are very similar to natural rare jade, it is widely used in jewelry industry.

In the process of synthesizing carbonate jade, high temperature and high pressure treatment are usually used to simulate the natural conditions of jade formation in the crust. This process can crystallize the ore whose main component is calcium carbonate to form granular substances, and then mix them with resin to enhance its stability and machinability. Synthetic jade can go through various processing and polishing steps to achieve ideal appearance and texture.

It should be noted that there may be some subtle differences in chemical composition and physical properties between artificial jade and natural jade. Therefore, when buying and collecting jade, it is very important to know its authenticity and source.
