1, observe the color.
Hetian jade is not very colorful. Generally there are white, cyan, yellow and ink. Therefore, in order to identify whether it is true or not, we must first observe its color. In addition to the above, be careful when other colors appear.
Step 2 consider
When you weigh Hetian jade with your hands, you will obviously feel that it is heavier than a stone of the same size, because Hetian jade is often thicker and has a fine structure, so it is easy to feel the difference.
3. Listen to the sound
You can tap Hetian jade gently with a metal rod, and the sound made by the genuine product is very crisp, while the imitation product is dull and lacks dynamic feeling.
4. Measure hardness
The hardness of Hetian jade is about 6.5. Generally, there is no trace when you cut with a knife. If it is glass or jade with low hardness, it will leave traces. Buy jade material can be tested at the corner position, and the finished product is not recommended to be easily damaged.
5. Try to be warm and cool.
Hetian jade has a high density and poor thermal conductivity. You can bask in the sun a little, or heat it with a warm handbag to see the thermal conductivity. It feels cold at first, and it gives off heat quickly.
