翡翠的種類：如何辨別真偽？
Jadeite exists in multiple forms, each with different levels of authenticity, treatment, and value. While natural Jadeite is highly prized for its purity and rarity, treated jadeite can also be found in the market, often enhancing its appearance but it’s not good for health, and will reduce its value.
Understanding the different types of Jadeite will help you make informed decisions when selecting jadeite jewelry, ensuring that you invest in pieces of lasting beauty and value.
1.A 類：天然翡翠 - 純淨
A 類翡翠是完全天然、未經處理的翡翠，只經過切割、拋光，有時還會雕刻。由於它保留了原有的礦物成分和結構，因此是最珍貴、最受歡迎的翡翠。
主要特性：
✔ 保持其原有的半透明性和色澤。
✔ 隨著時間的推移，可保持甚至升值。
2.類型 B：經化學處理的翡翠 - 增強淨度，降低完整性
B 類翡翠會經過人工增強處理，以改善其淨度和外觀。這包括漂白翡翠以去除雜質，然後再注入高分子樹脂以恢復其結構和光澤。雖然這讓翡翠看起來更有活力，但也削弱了其耐用性和價值。
如何鑑定 B 型翡翠：
✔ Too bright and clean appearance, sometimes unnaturally.
✔ Lacks the natural weight and density of Type A jadeite.
✔ Under UV light, the resin may fluoresce, revealing treatment.
✔ No investment value.
3.C 類：染色翡翠 - 人工增強顏色
C 類翡翠是經過化學染色以增強或完全改變顏色的翡翠。儘管這種處理方法可以創造出引人注目的作品，但其顏色並不長久穩定，在陽光或熱力照射下可能會褪色。
如何鑑定 C 型翡翠：
✔ Colors may appear too vibrant or unnatural, especially greens and purples.
✔ Over time, exposure to light or body heat may cause fading.
✔ Under UV light, artificial dyes may cause fluorescence.
✔ No investment value.
4.B+C 型：雙重處理 - 漂白和染色翡翠
B+C 種翡翠同時經過漂白 (B 種) 和染色 (C 種)，意即經過化學處理以去除雜質，並經人工染色以增加其鮮豔度。與天然翡翠相比，這種類型的翡翠變化最大，價值也最低。
為什麼 B 型、C 型和 B+C 最不可取？
✔ Long-time wear may have negative effects on health.
✔ Structurally weakened due to chemical treatments.
✔ Artificial color that does not hold up over time.
✔ Fluoresces under UV light due to both resin filling and dyes.
✔ No investment value.
5.了解翡翠種類的重要性
Choosing jadeite is about more than just beauty, it’s about authenticity, longevity, and value. While Type B and Type C jadeite may seem visually appealing at first glance, they do not retain the same value or durability as natural Type A jadeite.
