How to distinguish between Hetian jade and Jingbai jade and Korean materials

Chinese people like jade has a long history and origins. Hetian jade is the preferred choice for jade collections. It has long been a synonym for jade because of its delicate jade texture and warm color, and as its popularity continues to rise, there are more and more. The counterfeit goods poured into the Hetian jade market. The more common counterfeit goods are Jingbaiyu.

Beijing White Jade is named after its earliest production in the suburbs of western Beijing. Later it was discovered that the Beijing Baiyu has a very wide distribution, and Beijing Baiyu has been found in many parts of the country, so its value is not high. The characteristics of Jingbaiyuyu, apart from its wide distribution of origin, its jade is pure white and there are many fine quartz particles on the surface. Therefore, both in terms of value, texture and color, they are in stark contrast with Hetian jade.

The difference between Jingbaiyu and Hetianyu:

1. There will be a rough texture on the surface of the hand-polished white jade, and Hetian jade's feel will be moist and delicate.

2. The white body of Beijing White Jade is white and uniform. The color of Hetian jade is not pure white, and the feeling of being creamy is a good Hetian jade.

3. The internal structural features of Jingbaiyu are not very obvious and are not easy to distinguish with the naked eye.

4. The hardness of Beijing White Jade is also very high. A hard object such as a knife will scratch it on the surface, and it will not scratch the surface. Therefore, this is one of the important reasons why it can counterfeit Hetian jade.

5. The appearance of Jingbaiyu is a glassy luster. The gloss of Hetian jade is grease, sub-fat, or semi-glassy.

6. On the edge of the raw material of Beijing White Jade or the local part of the finished product, small quartz-like flares will be seen, and the feeling of roughness will be felt by hand.

7. Jingbaiyu is in a glassy shape at the fracture, while Hetian jade has a waxy fat at the fracture.

The Korean material belongs to the Hetian jade jade mountain material in a broad sense. Because the reserves are of low cost and there are many circulations in the market, there are also merchants who impersonate Xinjiang Hetian jade with Korean materials, and the authentication certificate does not require to mark the origin, so it is very confusing, for many For beginners, due to lack of experience, it is often difficult to distinguish between them, so that they can buy fake Hetian jade.

The Korean material is produced in the southern part of the Korean Peninsula and is called "Korean material." Produced in the local serpentinite, mostly yellow, brown, chemical composition and Hetian jade similar hardness and density slightly less than Hetian jade.

The Korean material is Hetian jade in a broad sense, but its poor quality is generally a low-grade raw material. If it is a better Korean product, one kilogram can be sold for a price of one or two thousand dollars, and the price for some items or kilograms can be reduced.

If the material is sent to an appraisal agency for identification, the result shows that it is Hetian jade. Its main component is tremolite and its hardness is 5.5. The trace elements contained in it and Hetian jade do not have, and then there is a different composition of mineral structure, which makes the shape and the Hetian jade have some subtle differences, but this subtle difference is very elegant and people who play Hetian jade eye.

It is very close to the gloss of Hetian jade after polishing, its wax texture is strong, not very delicate, and heavier than Hetian Yu, it is slightly lighter.
