The green material will slowly turn black over time, and it will feel like black jade. However, burmese jade can also mutate. 3. ** Color Uniqueness **: The edge of the dangerous jadeite is dark, and you can see the obvious color change when you turn it from the front to the side. The color of the Burmese jadeite is relatively uniform, and there will be no change when you turn it. 4. ** Cotton-like state **: The cotton-like state of the emerald jade from Guatemala is like a sheet of cotton, like a goose feather falling from the snow. The cotton-like state of the emerald jade from burma is similar to the feeling of torn cotton and put in glue.

The high-quality dangerous material was like blue water, but compared with blue water, it was gray, not pure enough, lacked hardness, high grease, and did not have a bright feeling. The color of high-color dangerous materials was more concentrated. Most of them were based on thin water materials to release the color and then inlaid. There were very few thick-packed finished products. Under natural light, the color was green and dark. Although the composition, structure, and other attributes of the two met the international jade definition standards, there were differences in many aspects. Due to the different mining time and origin, they were treated differently in the market. The novel "Ledge" is equally exciting. Everyone is welcome to click and read it!
