How to burn jade: Revealing the hotly debated jade treatment technology on the Internet
Recently, the topic of "how to burn jade" has triggered widespread discussions on major social platforms and jewelry forums. This technology involves the optimization of jade. Some people are curious about its scientific principles, while others question its business ethics. This article will analyze this phenomenon in detail for you based on the hot topics of the past 10 days.
1. What is the "burning" of jade?

"Burning" is the common name for the heat treatment process in the jade industry, which changes the color or transparency of jade through high temperatures. According to the hot discussion on the entire network, the current discussion mainly focuses on the following two processing methods:
| Processing type | temperature range | Effect | Disputed points |
|---|---|---|---|
| Low temperature burning | 200-300℃ | Remove impurities and improve water head | Does it belong to the category of natural jade? |
| High temperature burning | 600-800℃ | Change color (such as red jade becomes bright) | Need to inject glue to fill the cracks, involving fraud |
2. Data statistics on hotly discussed topics across the Internet
By analyzing social media data in the past 10 days, relevant discussions show the following characteristics:
| Platform | amount of discussion | Keywords TOP3 | emotional tendencies |
|---|---|---|---|
| 128,000 items | #玉素色#, #jewelry counterfeiting#, #CollectionTrap# | Negative 72% | |
| Douyin | 32,000 videos | "Burned Jadeite Identification", "High Temperature Experiment", "Color Comparison" | Neutral 56% |
| Zhihu | 4700 answers | "Heat treatment standards", "Business ethics", "Authentication certificate" | Focus on rational discussion |
3. How to identify burnt jadeite
According to popular science content recently released by jewelry appraisal experts, it can be identified by the following characteristics:
| Discriminating Dimensions | natural jade | Fired Jadeite |
|---|---|---|
| color distribution | natural transition | Concentrated edges and blurred color roots |
| surface gloss | glass luster | Waxy gloss (caused by glue injection) |
| Infrared spectrum | No abnormal absorption peak | There is a peak at 3400cm⁻¹ (characteristics of glue injection) |
4. Industry disputes and consumer suggestions
1.Standard dispute:The national standard GB/T 16552 stipulates that "optimization without changing the material structure does not need to be stated", but high-temperature firing is often accompanied by structural damage.
2.Price difference:A case exposed in a live broadcast room shows that a fired red jade bracelet sells for 8,000 yuan, and the market price of natural products of the same quality exceeds 150,000 yuan.
3.Expert advice:The China Jewelry and Jade Jewelry Industry Association recently issued a document emphasizing that you should look for the "natural jade" label when purchasing and require a professional appraisal certificate.
5. Technology development trends
Judging from recent patent application data, jade processing technology has shown two new trends:
| Technical direction | Representative patent | Application status |
|---|---|---|
| Low temperature plasma treatment | CN20231045678.X | Laboratory stage, known as "non-destructive optimization" |
| Nanoscale crack repair | CN20232018902.1 | Already in commercial use, identification is extremely difficult |
Conclusion: The “burning” of jadeite is both a process innovation and an industry challenge. Consumers should maintain rational understanding, regulatory authorities need to improve standards, and practitioners should adhere to the bottom line of integrity. Only the joint efforts of many parties can promote the healthy development of the jade market.
