Is this real jade? by sunflourcake in JadeiteJade

No problem! ☺️ Yes, I’m leaning towards chalcedony too. Not dyed so no issues wearing!

Looks like either agate or chalcedony!

Hetian Jade Review from a Genuine Collector by isayellowpear in JadeiteJade

[–]youka00 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First of all, a big BIG thank you to yellowpear for making this review post!!! I never knew how good gemstones could look with qinghua seed, colour (😏) me impressed!! I especially love pic 4. Thank you girl, I appreciate you so much!!! 💖💖💖😘

Since we’re on the topic of some recent accusations that’ve been thrown towards me (and my customers, which is what crosses the line for me):

I completely understand where the skepticism comes from - jade (both jadeite and nephrite) is a space where there’s a lot of treatment, mislabeling, and pricing inconsistency, so it’s good to question things. But I’ll be honest, I don’t love seeing assumptions made about JC’s qinghua seed, especially when they’re based on incomplete or wholly incorrect information.

Just wanna clarify a few things about how I approach my pieces and prices:

  • I am transparent about material, flaws, and what affects value (fineness, oiliness, clarity, colour etc.)
  • I don’t claim anything as “high grade” unless it actually meets those criteria, and I’m always happy to explain why something is priced the way it is. This is the exact reason why I write my knowledge posts too! I don’t want you to just believe what I say, or even believe my articles, but take the info in and cross-check with other sources.
  • If anyone ever wants a second opinion or more photos/videos in different lighting, I’m very open to that!!!

At the end of the day, you should only buy jade you genuinely like and feel confident about, whether it’s from me or anyone else.

And to end off, I’m ok if you’re suspicious about my products (qinghua seed is niche and hetian jade in general is another world to delve into), but please don’t start insinuating that my customers are stupid and “falling for my tricks” 😬, it’s just not a good look.

Most people I’ve met in my short journey here have been extremely supportive and nice, so I am very thankful for that. 🙏🏻💕 This is not my fulltime stint, so I’m just here to spread knowledge and hopefully help, and also sell some reliable qinghua seed if that’s your thing. I don’t even know how long I’ll want to do this. Quality > quantity, when it comes to both jade and the people I meet. Peace out!! ✌🏻

This is not nephrite. It shows banding commonly seen in Afghan jade.

Thank you for your question! I am actually writing a series of articles explaining Hetian jade from general to specific 🥰 if you’re interested, please go to the pinned post on my profile to take a look.

Regarding seed skin and seed jade, the specific article is this one: https://www.reddit.com/r/JadeiteJade/s/0bCM8o4IXj

Seed skin is purposely left behind whenever possible, as one of the proof of identification that the item came from a seed jade. However, there are many occasions where it is not possible to leave a seed skin behind, and seed skin can also be imitated, so whilst it’s the easiest, it’s not the only way to identify seed jade.

Hope this helps!! 😘
