How to tell at a glance whether the raw jade is a new pit or an old pit
To distinguish whether a raw jade was a new pit or an old pit at a glance, one could usually start from the following aspects: 1. Color: The color of the new pit jadeite is relatively uniform. The color is light green, light yellow, or gray. The color of the old pit jadeite is relatively complicated. It may appear purple, blue, green, and many other colors. 2. Translucency: The new pit jadeite is more transparent and has a finer texture, while the old pit jadeite is less transparent and has a rougher texture. 3. Glow: The new pit jade stone has a strong luster and a bright luster on the surface, while the old pit jade stone has a weaker luster and a relatively dull surface. 4. Shape: The shape of the new pit jade stone is more regular and the surface is smoother. The shape of the old pit jade stone is more irregular and there may be bumps or grooves on the surface. 5. Surface characteristics: The surface of the new pit jade stone usually has obvious cracks or impurities, while the surface of the old pit jade stone is relatively smooth without obvious cracks or impurities. It should be noted that the above were only some common characteristics. In fact, to distinguish whether the raw jade was a new pit or an old pit, more detailed analysis and judgment were needed. It is recommended to consult a professional jade merchant or jewelry appraiser for more accurate information when purchasing raw jade.
