From the late 20th century to the present, the concept of collecting treasures in prosperous times has made the collection of jade more and more popular. Jade is no longer just a jewelry ornament that beautifies people's lives, but also a messenger that spreads jade culture. At the same time, with the advancement of society and the development of science and technology, the identification of fakes and authenticity of jadeite and the judgment of its quality have become the primary issues in collecting jadeite.
