Picture of Hotan Jade Seed Material Blue White Jade Characteristics of Hotan Jade Seed Material The Difference between Hotan Jade and Other Jade Although the value of Hotan Jade is not as high as that of jadeite, it also has the problem of identifying authenticity. Ordinary jade represented by Xiuyu is usually used to impersonate nephrite, and the newly released Russian jade and Qinghai jade are made of glass material. They are discussed below. Steps/Methods Distinguishing Hotan Jade from Russian Jade and Qinghai Jade, my country’s Qinghai and the Central Asia region of the former Soviet Union, now also produce a kind of jade, commonly known as Qinghai Jade and Russian Jade. It is estimated that they are both produced by branches of the Tianshan Mountains, so the ore composition is similar. This kind of jade is mostly white and looks like waxy grease, so it can easily be passed off as white jade. And its hardness is the same as white jade, so it cannot be used to identify its authenticity. However, this kind of jade contains a relatively high quartz content, so compared with white jade, it is coarse and astringent, japonica in nature, highly brittle, and highly transparent; it is prone to diaphragm, cracking and discoloration due to frequent exposure to the sun, rain and dew. Especially when comparing Hetian jade and Russian jade together, one is waxy and the other is japonica; one is white and moist, while the other is "dead white". The difference between them is self-evident. At the same time, it is not difficult to distinguish whether one sound is crisp and the other is dull when struck. The difference between nephrite and xiuyu. The texture, hardness and specific gravity of Hotan jade have certain indicators; while Xiu jade is produced in Xiuyan County, Liaoning, and its texture, hardness and specific gravity are not as good as those of Hotan jade. In addition, Xiu jade is mined in large quantities and is cheap due to its abundance, so the market price is very cheap. Because Xiu jade has a fine texture, a relatively high water head, and a flower-like to greasy luster, it is often aged to impersonate old Hetian jade. However, Xiu jade is relatively soft and is easy to be eaten by a knife. The best way to identify it is to carve it a few times with an ordinary knife. If you don't have a knife with you, just take a closer look at the place where the knife is received during carving. Hetian jade will not have hair on the place where the knife is received, while Xiu jade will have hair on it. In addition, Xiu jade also feels lighter, and the sound when struck is dull and dull, unlike Hetian jade, which is crisp and clear. Distinguish between Hetian Jade and "Material" Glass is often used as Hetian Jade in the market, commonly known as "Material". Identification in this area is relatively not too difficult. Generally speaking, the color of glass is consistent, with no natural changes, and there are bubbles inside (some bubbles can be removed by engraving); its material is relatively pure, relatively pure, unlike Hetian jade that has jade stems, and has natural crystal shapes such as cotton, radish filament, etc.; Observe with a magnifying glass, the pores of glass are much thicker than those of Hetian jade, and the fracture is bright and shell-shaped, while Hetian jade is dark and staggered; the hardness of glass is low, and it is easy to be eaten by knives, while Hetian jade has high hardness and will not be eaten by knives; in addition, when the glass frit is attached to a sensitive part of the face, it will be cooler than jade. In addition, when struck, one sound is dull and the other is crisp. The difference between Hetian jade and other jade. Look at the pores of Hetian jade to identify authenticity. In recent years, the value of Hetian jade has doubled, becoming the focus of collectors. However, in the antique market, fake Hetian jade is also emerging one after another. Jade experts said that Hotan jade is called nephrite. If you want to collect Hotan jade, you must first learn to distinguish between genuine and fake Hotan seeds. Looking at the "pores" is a more effective way to identify the authenticity of Hetian jade.
