What are the methods for identifying Russian jade?

May 28, 2025

Russian jade is very similar to Hetian jade. According to physical properties, both of them belong to tremolite. The composition is not much different, and the quality of Russian jade is also good. The price is rising, and some of the best are not lost to Hetian jade. This has an impact on the identification between the two.

Russian jade has entered the market in the 1980s, and it belongs to Hetian jade in a broad sense. The physical properties of Russian materials are basically the same as those of Xinjiang mountain materials. Some of them are relatively transparent. They may be slightly colder, have a colder tone, have a stiff feeling, and have a poor oiliness.

How to identify Russian jade?

1, color: gray white is the basic color of Russian jade. The white leather has a relatively white color (higher tremolite content), less impurities and spots, and the bright color can also be compared with Xinjiang white jade.

Turbid brownish yellow - dark brown - light sugar color, is the basic color of Russian white jade. Among them, the neutral sugar color, bright and bright, made of jade carving crafts, will have a better artistic effect. The color of sugar and white in a piece of jade is clearly defined, and it can make a very artistic and beautiful jade carving.

2. Russian jade is mainly based on mountain materials, lacking seed materials and mountain water. Therefore, Russian jade lacks high-quality varieties such as Xinjiang Hetian jade seed material and mountain water.

3. Due to the thick structure of Russian jade, and the influence of late tectonic movement, the toughness of Russian jade is lower than that of Xinjiang Hetian jade.

4. Although Russian jade is mainly composed of fiber interweaving structure, the mineral particles are slightly thicker, generally between 0.02-0.005, which is thicker than Xinjiang Hetian jade, close to Qinghai jade. Therefore, its appearance is not delicate enough, and the grease is insufficient. It has a slightly porcelain character.

Due to the coarse and fine grain size of the Russian white jade mountain material, the tremolite content is unstable, the texture is not fine enough, and it appears to be somewhat “just”. It is easy to produce collapse and collapse at the engraving, and it shows violent.

For example, we use the white fat jade as the top grade of jade. In addition to speaking white, we must also talk about oiliness. Russian jade is precisely white, but lacks oiliness. With the use of oil-free one measure, Russian jade and Hetian jade are judged high, and the specific jade pieces are generally distinguished.

5, test hardness: Hetian jade hardness of 6 ~ 7, Russian jade hardness of 5.2 ~ 5.4, with a hardness of 5.5 ~ 6 small steel knife to draw a few times, no trace may be Hetian jade.

6. The production environment of Russian materials Hetian jade and Hetian jade, one produced in Russia, the latitude is extremely high in air and cold, and one is produced in Kunlun Mountain. The sensory effect of the two is not used, and Hetian jade will become more and more popular after playing. Through, and the Russian material Hetian jade will not. When the Russian material Hetian jade was knocked, the sound was rather dull, and Hetian jade’s voice was crisp and sweet.
