When Hetian jade is transported, washed and collided by river water, there will be cracks and collision pits on its surface, which are not artificial traces. On the contrary, if Hetian jade has a high surface smoothness and no collision pits, it must be fake.

The second method: Observe the reflective luster of Hetian jade.

Observing the reflective surface of Hetian jade in the sunlight, if it is real Hetian jade, the luster does not change during the rotation, while if it is fake Hetian jade, the luster changes during the rotation.

The third method: observing cracks.

Most hetian jade is cracked, and the color of the crack is darker than the surrounding color, which shows a transitional change with the surrounding color. The color of the fake hetian jade crack is very different from the surrounding color.

The fourth method: touch.

The natural hetian jade seed material feels a sense of resistance, while the roller seed material feels smooth and even a little slippery.

The fifth method: observe the skin and meat.

If you look closely at the "meat" next to the skin of Hetian jade seed material, its skin color and pores have a transitional feeling, while the artificial Hetian jade seed material has a completely separate skin and meat, and there is no transitional feeling.

These methods of identifying Hetian jade still need to be carefully read. Anyway, when buying Hetian jade, you must observe more. After all, the counterfeiting technology is getting worse and worse now!

Extended data:

? Hetian jade is one of the "Four Famous Jade in China" (the third is lantian jade in Shaanxi, Xiuyu in Liaoning and dushan jade in Henan). The traditional narrow category refers to the jade produced in Hotan area of Xinjiang, which is famous for its "sub-material". Hetian jade in a broad sense refers to nephrite (real jade). Although Hetian jade is named after Hetian, Xinjiang, it is not a regional concept in itself, and it does not specifically refer to the jade produced in Hetian, Xinjiang, but the name of a class of products. China named all the stones with tremolite accounting for more than 98% as Hetian jade, which are within the national standard.
