The Taiwanese cat's eye jade I brought back from my trip to Taiwan costs more than 8K. Anyone who knows the goods can help me check the quality. Is it being ripped off?

1. Of course the product name on the invoice is "artifact", no matter how valuable the gem Pei Yu is, it is also "artifact".

2. Three invoices, this means that the store has evaded Tax evasion or cobbled together to avoid "luxury tax". In this case, you can directly request a replacement of the invoice!

3. No matter whether it says "goods sold, no returns" on it, if you are not satisfied, the consumer protection regulations are There is a ten-day appreciation period and returns are allowed.

But you must first decide whether "you were brought into this store" or "go there on your own volition". The former is possible, but the latter depends on your coordination with the merchant. ~

Look at the time of 9/16. If you are still in Taiwan, just go and return it if you are not satisfied~ You do not need to produce an appraisal certificate from an authoritative organization for returns.

4. Carefully After looking at your photos over and over, I really can’t tell whether the jade is genuine or not. But let’s assume it’s real. It’s 13cm long and about 7cm wide, but the most important thing is the thickness.

I can’t tell. If the thickness is thicker (5cm) (above), although it is a bit small, it conforms to the golden ratio.

5. The most important thing is whether you like the jade or not. The value is different from the price appraised by the appraisal institute. Appraisal is one thing. , whether anyone will buy it is another matter. If the cat's eye stone is not stored for a few years, there will be no room for appreciation, and it even depends on the output! So it depends on whether you like it or not~

6. Unless the product has been artificially processed (strong pickling, impregnating spots, resin filling, etc.), the price is within a reasonable range.

The "pit" is obviously fake, but it is still being sold. Tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands is called a scam. But this phenomenon is rare in Taiwan. After all, the store is not a hit-and-run.

The following is for you to judge for yourself~ (Since the warranty has been shown , just return it if you are not satisfied~)

The so-called cat's eye refers to chrysoberyl, among which Sri Lanka is recognized as having the best quality, with dark yellow-brown to dense yellow being the most precious.

Cat's eye jade It is a different gemstone from cat's eye. The so-called cat's eye jade is only produced in Toyota, Hualien County, Taiwan. It is a kind of Taiwanese flash jade. It is also called Taiwan cat's eye or cat's eye flash jade. Its hardness is as high as 7.1. Cherbilite is also hard.

The raw material of cat's eye jade is fibrous, and the fiber arrangement is directional, so it will show a cat's eye light at certain angles, and it is easy to break when cutting, so it is more difficult to polish. Difficulty, it was not until 1953 in Hualien that someone successfully polished the cat's eye flash jade, and cat's eye flash jade began to attract attention in the jewelry market.

The emergence of this special flash jade in Hualien Toyota is related to another mineral deposit in the mining area, the Toyota flash jade mine It intersects with asbestos ore,

Therefore, some of the jadeite ores will contain asbestos minerals, and the unique cat's eye jade will appear.

The simplest way to identify it is Drop honey on the raw ore, and you can see the cat's eye immediately. The color of the raw ore of cat's eye flash jade is yellowish-white

to dark gray. After convex cutting, it will appear honey yellow, black, light green yellow, and green. , dark green, dark brown, etc., mostly translucent,

It has the same glass luster as ordinary flash jade. Cat's eye flash jade is rare and can be used as gemstones less, so the price is higher than ordinary flash jade.

Among them, emerald green to honey-colored production is very rare, and the market price is higher.

Simple identification of cat's eye jade: the market is filled with many artificial cat's eye stones or cat's eye jade, artificial cat's eye The colors are too saturated,

The cat's eye phenomenon is dull and dull, the light is monotonous, and the natural cat's eye color is irregular. Regardless of whether the cat's eye stone or cat's eye jade is good or bad, the key point is to distinguish it

As for the appearance of the cat's eye, the eyeliner of a good cat's eye stone is narrow but clear, preferably located in the center of the convex surface. The cat's eye should open and close with the luster at different angles

It should be flexible and lively, and the color should be more contrasted with the gem itself. The brighter, the better.

I can only write this, I hope it can help you ~ Good luck ~
