Is Hetian jade scrap real? Is it valuable?

It could also be judged by measuring the density. Divide the weight of the jade by the weight after it was completely immersed in water, and its density was mostly between 2.85 and 3.05.

Appraising Hetian Jade
Here are some ways to identify Hetian jade: 1. * * Origin **: The authentic Hetian jade is produced in Hetian, Xinjiang. However, the broad concept of Hetian jade had been expanded. 2. The real Hetian jade felt warm, heavy, thick, and heavy, while the fake ones felt light. When placed on the skin, it would feel cool, but glass products did not have this feeling. 3. * * Hardness test **: Hetian jade has a Mohs hardness of about 6.5. If you take a knife and scratch it, there will usually be no trace left. However, many imitation materials now choose jade with high hardness. Even so, this method can still be used as a preliminary reference. 4. * * density measurement **: The water density measurement method is easier to operate. First, weigh the weight of the jade as A, then put the water cup on the electronic scale and return the value to zero. Tie the jade into the cup with a thin thread (do not touch the bottom of the cup), record the gram number B at this time, divide A by B to obtain the density. The density of Hetian jade is 2.9 - 3.1. 5. * * Optic Appraisal **: Use a magnifying glass or professional optical instrument to observe the internal structure of the jade. Hetian jade is translucent. Under strong light, it can be seen as cotton wool chaos and felt-like structure. If it is impervious to light or has no structure, it is not Hetian jade. It can also be identified by ultraviolet-assisted identification or X-ray fluorescence to examine the composition. In addition, the Xinjiang Hetian jade seed material had natural "pores" under the magnifying glass. The thickness was uneven and the arrangement was irregular. The artificial pores were the same size. 6. * * Sound Judgement **: Natural Hetian jade has a high density. The sound is clear and loud when knocked. You can take two pieces and knock them together. If the sound is hoarse, the density is low. It may not be natural Hetian jade. 7. * * Check the texture **: Hetian jade is moist, delicate, and soft. Its surface has a greasy luster. The moisture and greasy luster of other jades are not as good as Hetian jade. 8. * * Check certificate **: Hetian jade is expensive, and basically comes with an identification certificate. You can check the authenticity of the certificate on the official website through the code on the certificate. You can't find information on a fake certificate. If the appraisal agency produced a fake certificate, they could sue. 9. * * Appearance observation **: The color should be pure, with few impurities, mostly white, green, etc.; the texture should be delicate and soft; the surface should be smooth and smooth, and when it is seen under the sun, the luster will not change and the luster will be good everywhere; the water drops on the surface will be dew-like, and it will take a long time to disperse.
