The most basic methods for distinguishing the quality of jade mainly include the following three points:

1. Observe color and luster: High quality jade often has bright, pure and evenly distributed colors, full and bright colors, and no impurities or impurities. In terms of luster, good jade materials have oil or glass luster, strong surface reflection ability, and appear brighter. Overly bright colors may be artificially dyed, with insufficient natural luster, or may be fake jade or of poor quality.

2. Touch texture and feel weight: The texture of real jade is usually warm, delicate, and comfortable to the touch. Artificial materials, on the other hand, may feel colder or smoother to the touch. The texture of high-quality jade is pure, without obvious impurities or cracks, and due to the high density of real jade, it is relatively heavy, which can be judged by hand feel or weight.

3. Check transparency and crack impurities: In terms of transparency, high-quality jade materials generally have a certain degree of transparency, but the transparency of different varieties of jade also varies. The interior of Haoyu is crystal clear, giving people a sense of agility. Use a magnifying glass or flashlight to observe the surface and interior of the jade. High quality jade materials have fewer cracks and less obvious impurities. However, low-quality jade will have many cracks and defects on the surface and inside.

Although the above methods can serve as a preliminary basis for identifying the quality of jade, the most reliable identification still relies on the judgment of professionals or professional institutions. Especially for valuable jade, it is recommended to find a reputable appraisal institution for evaluation and appraisal.
