Abstract:It is very difficult to distinguish jadeite and alike jade and imitation by naked eyes. It should be idnetified by the help of instruments. Identification based on general instrument can judge according to their related datas and structure characteristics; while identification based on spectrum instrument can judge according to the spectrum diagram. Comparing two identification results gained by conventional instruments and infrared spectrometer, it is said that correct identification of all types of jades can be gained by using infrared spectromete.
