Water foam jade, commonly known as "water foam", is an associated mineral of jadeite and has a long history like jadeite.
Water foam jade has crystal clear properties, there are many tiny bubbles in the original mine, it seems to be a splash, and the source calls the water spray "foam", so it is named this name.
Because some of the characteristics of water foam are similar to jadeite, there will be a phenomenon of water foam imitating jadeite in the jade market, and even regarded by some outsiders as a killer or even a fake of jadeite.
In fact, water foam is not a fake, but a quartz jade mainly produced in Myanmar, although it is a kind of natural jade, but in essence it is very different from jadeite, and its price is also very different from the price of jadeite.
Jadeite and water foam on the surface is not much different, but there is a difference in specific gravity, jadeite is heavier than water foam, the crystal is more delicate, the hardness is higher, jadeite is full of rigidity, the color has colored roots, and water foam does not, so its color, like floating on it, has no color root.
Although the water foam looks very good and can reach the glass species, the price is 108,000 li cheaper than jadeite! Even many people look at water foam jade as a fake! Will not buy at all!
