The most obvious identification of Russian nephrite

Russian jade is a kind of jade. The previous article mentioned what Russian nephrite is. At the same time, it also tells us the difference between Russian nephrite jade and similar jade. Then this article is to tell us about the characteristics of Russian nephrite jade.

The mineral composition and internal structure of Russia's jade material are basically similar to those of Hetian jade. They mainly include white jade, sapphires, white jade, jasper, ink jade, and sugar jade. It is a greasy sheen with a slight degree of transparency and a hardness of between 5.2 and 5.4. Overall, it is not as good as Qinghai Yu, and even less as Hetian Yu.

1. From the perspective of transparency, Russian jade is brighter than Hetian jade, but due to its coarse structure and lighter touch, it will turn yellow and dark when worn for a long time. At the same time, Russia's jade is poor in toughness, easy to use, and has a "blowout", so it is necessary to observe the cracking of jade lines.

2. From the appearance point of view, the Russian jade in the light-transmitting place, with a slight eye to see, you can see the "hair-like" structure, and Hetian jade internal particles are very small, under normal circumstances can not be seen with the naked eye.

3. The hardness is low. Use a small steel knife to gently stroke or scratch on the glass.

4. From the aspect of glossiness, although the Russian jade is a glass luster, it has a slight sense of porcelain, and the whole body is dry, and the white jade emits light of “dead white”. After grinding, it became dry from deep white, white on the white cloth, but it was dry in the hand.
