To say that counterfeiting is nothing more than glass, resin, plastic, jade powder, dyeing, shoddy and fake! These common forgeries include the whole jade industry, white jade, Jasper, sapphire, emerald and so on.
But not all jade can be fake. Let's talk about some kinds of jade that can't even be fake.
Unreachable nimbleness: cat's eye Jasper
If you like green, Jasper is the first choice. It has both the attractive green of jadeite and the warm texture of Hetian jade. In recent years, Jasper has been occupying the mainstream market, and the price is rising steadily. No matter spinach green, Yang green, apple green, or duck egg green, pink green, you can find what you like.
However, the rising trend of Jasper in recent years has also attracted the attention of a large number of counterfeiters. From quartzite, Xiuyu, desaturated glass to Pakistan transparent material, Jasper's forgery is also dazzling.
However, because of its magical cat eye effect, it is very difficult to make fake.
Cat's eye effect is common in color treasures, such as golden green cat's eye, ruby, tourmaline, etc.; at present, no typical cat's eye effect is found in other jade, only Jasper has this phenomenon, which can be called unique.
The cat's eye Jasper, which has both the beauty of gems and jades, looks like the cat's eyes. The bright light band on the green bottom is extremely smart and beautiful. Some of the imitations on the market are more like Jasper and some are more like "cat's eye", but it's difficult to have both, so it's easier to distinguish them.
Due to the formation conditions of opal jade are very occasional, the production is rare, and the difficulty of counterfeiting is very high, there are few imitations in the market.
When selecting Jasper cat's eyes, remember to pay attention to whether there are black spots and grain cracks inside. Try to choose those Jasper cat's eyes with pure texture and no defects. Try not to choose too light or gray ones in color. The "live cat's eyes" with the light band on the cat's eyes can flow is preferred.
Impossibility of imitation: rigidity
Jade doesn't buy fake, it doesn't buy flaws.
But defects can be considered as appropriate. After all, there are ten jade and nine flaws. The authenticity of a piece of jade also needs to be identified by flaws. You may ask: who will fake the flaws? Only a fool!
What are the flaws? Such as: small shallow mouth, grain crack, black spot, white cotton, rigid, waterline and so on. Flaws are not only the ID card of jade, but also the fatal flaw of jade. You must think who can fake the flaws, can you still buy them?
A few years ago, we all know that Jasper has black spots. Some counterfeiters made black point imitation Jasper bracelets with resin and green, which deceived many people! Moreover, if the forger makes water lines in the fake jade, you may mistakenly think that the glass resin is the real jade.
But the flaw lock crack generally nobody to do, avoids inferior to the nature nobody to make the false! But the rigidity in the seed material can not be fake. The rigidity is formed when the calcium oxide in the jade precipitates and heals when the seed material is generated. Generally speaking, it is the part with heavy stone nature.
Don't look down on rigidity. In the jade world, there is a good name of "the edge of rigidity makes the flesh thin", and the material with rigidity can't be dyed. The color of a dyed part with rigidity will be very heavy, extremely unnatural, and the rigidity can't be simulated.
The irresistible floating: South red with ice
The South Red Agate was very popular in the past few years. Nowadays, the market of Nanhong agate is mainly produced in Liangshan Prefecture, Sichuan Province. Its colors include persimmon red, brocade red, cherry red, rose red, red and white materials, ice floating materials, etc. Its heat has never subsided. At present, Nanhong in the market is basically full of color and meat.
South Red counterfeiting has also caused a riot, red glass impersonation, baking color, burning color and so on. But there is a type of Nanhong that hasn't been fake up to now. It's ice floating!
The full name of southern red ice floating should be "ice ground red southern red". Its background color is light, or nearly colorless. There is natural red floating on the bottom, with red and white reflecting each other.
South red ice floating is famous for the beauty of artistic conception, like the floating flowers of jadeite, on the crystal bottom, there are various forms of red floating naturally and vividly, each of which is a unique natural art.
The artificial artificial ice floats south red, and the red dye on the base color appears deliberately stiff and stiff, without natural lively and random, and it is very stagnant in the transition place. If it is imitated by chalcedony, its background color will be slightly yellow, which is easy to distinguish. So in general, there are few forgeries, and it's hard to imitate them as natural.
The high-quality ice floating south red is mainly clear and transparent white. In this ice transparent background, there are a few red floating. The white should be clear and light, and the red should be clear and gorgeous. The sharp contrast between red and white is very aesthetic in vision.
Some southern red ice floating in the red, but also can form a unique pattern, with the right sculpture, but also the value of viewing and collection doubled.
We can always find a breakthrough point for endless forgeries. All the forgeries can be traced. As long as you don't have the psychology of picking up the leakage and carefully check the indicators of the jade, you will definitely recognize the forgeries at a glance and not be cheated any more!
