澳大利亚玉是一种水沫玉，水沫玉俗称“水沫子”，是翡翠的伴生矿物，与翡翠一样历史悠久。水沫玉有晶莹剔透的属性，原矿内多有微小气泡，看似泛起的水花，产地把水花称之为“沫子，故冠以此名。水沫玉和翡翠一样，从不透明，微透明，半透明到全透明都有。水沫玉根据质地分为糯种、冰种、玻璃种等。好品质的水沫玉产量有限，市场上通常以产量巨大的石英岩玉冒充钠长石玉（水沫子），一般消费者很难分辨真伪，实际上国家标准《珠宝玉石名称》中，都分别列有钠长石玉和石英岩玉的名称，无疑肯定了二者属于独立玉种。2013年8月1日，由云南省珠宝质检研究院制定的地方标准《钠长石玉鉴定技术规范》正式发布实施，赋予水沫子精确的规范性定义。《钠长石玉鉴定技术规范》。即质检证书鉴定为石英岩玉的不能称之为水沫玉（水沫子），只有质检证书鉴定为纳长石玉的才可在备注栏为水沫玉（水沫子）特别规定在质检证书的备注栏须标注：俗称“水沫子”或俗称“水沫玉”。
澳大利亚玉的颜色跟翡翠十分相似，可是却沒有翡翠的色调好，澳大利亚玉的颜色较为艳丽，而且色调较为匀称，它具备一定的透光度，澳大利亚玉不可以称之为玉，因此 其价钱较为低。
澳大利亚玉与翡翠有一定的共同之处，不细心区别的确非常容易搞混，为了更好地防止大伙儿上当受骗，用澳大利亚玉来假冒翡翠，因此 给大伙儿共享一点澳大利亚玉和翡翠的差别。
澳大利亚玉和翡翠的差别有：
1.光泽度：翡翠的光泽度较为晶莹剔透，而澳大利亚玉就稍有稍逊。
2.翠性：翡翠有翠性，澳大利亚玉沒有翠性。
3.色调：澳大利亚玉色调比较艳丽匀称，像生豆绿色，看上去像塑胶。
4.响声层面：2个翡翠撞击传出来的响声较为脆响，而二块澳大利亚玉撞击传出来的响声较为浑厚。
5.澳大利亚玉在透光性下是等颗粒状結果，而翡翠在透光性下是化学纤维交错构造。
6.翡翠的翠绿色与别的色调对比清晰度较高，而澳大利亚玉的翠绿色与别的色调对比清晰度都类似。翡翠翠绿色一般来说会见到色根，而澳大利亚玉看不见色根6.相对密度不一样：翡翠的相对密度是3.33 g/cm3，澳大利亚玉的密度是2.6 g/cm3，能够把二者手拿着掂一掂，翡翠相对而言重一点。
7.折光率：澳大利亚玉的折光率为1.55，翡翠的折光率为1.7。
8.价钱：澳大利亚玉的价格低，翡翠的价钱高。
之上便是我觉得给大伙儿共享的翡翠和澳洲玉的差别，这种专业知识大伙儿应当必须有一定的掌握。关键由于如今翡翠价钱持续上升，销售市场上很多人用澳大利亚玉假冒翡翠，以获得巨额盈利，而许多 顾客对二者的差别并不是尤其确立，因此 受骗上当的状况经常发生。若立即了解了这些方面的专业知识，则能够合理的区别澳大利亚玉和翡翠，就不容易被一些欠佳的店家骗到。
如今销售市场上面有一些澳大利亚玉和翡翠十分相似，难以鉴别，沒有工作经验的顾客能够请权威专家来帮助评定。
自然也不是说澳大利亚玉不太好，翡翠也分高品质的和伪劣的，仅仅澳大利亚玉的确使用价值比不上翡翠，但其在颜色，样式层面也是非常好的，若经济发展标准并不是特别好，能够挑选澳大利亚玉来做为装饰设计。
Australian jade is a type of water foam jade, commonly known as “water foam”, which is a mineral associated with jade and has a long history like jade. Water foam jade has the property of being crystal clear, with many small bubbles in the original ore that appear to be splashing water. The place of origin refers to the splashing water as “Mo Zi,” hence the name. Like jade, water foam jade can be classified into non transparent, slightly transparent, semi transparent, and fully transparent types. Water foam jade can be classified into glutinous, ice, glass, and other types based on its texture. The production of high-quality water foam jade is limited, and the market usually uses large production quartzite jade to impersonate sodium feldspar jade (water foam). It is difficult for ordinary consumers to distinguish authenticity. In fact, the national standard “Names of Jewelry and Jade” lists the names of sodium feldspar jade and quartzite jade respectively, which undoubtedly confirms that the two belong to independent jade types. On January 1st, the local standard “Technical Specification for Identification of Sodium Feldspar Jade” was formulated by Yunnan Jewelry Quality Inspection Research Institute Formally released and implemented, endowing Shuimozi with precise normative definitions. Technical Specification for Identification of Sodium Feldspar Jade. Those identified as quartzite jade in the quality inspection certificate cannot be called water foam jade (water foam). Only those identified as plagioclase jade in the quality inspection certificate can be marked as water foam jade (water foam) in the remarks column. It is specially stipulated that the remarks column of the quality inspection certificate must be marked with “water foam” or “water foam jade”.
The color of Australian jade is very similar to that of jadeite, but its color tone is not as good as jadeite’s. Australian jade has a more vibrant color and a more uniform tone, and it has a certain degree of transparency. Australian jade cannot be called jade, so its price is relatively low.
Australian jade and jadeite have certain similarities, and it is easy to confuse them if not carefully distinguished. In order to better prevent people from being deceived and using Australian jade to counterfeit jadeite, I will share some differences between Australian jade and jadeite with everyone.
The differences between Australian jade and jadeite are:
1. Glossiness: Jadeite has a more crystal clear luster, while Australian jade is slightly inferior.
2. Jadeite has jadeity, while Australian jade does not have jadeity.
3. Color tone: Australian jade has a bright and symmetrical color tone, like green beans, and looks like plastic.
4. Sound level: The sound produced by the collision of two jadeite stones is relatively crisp, while the sound produced by the collision of two Australian jadeite stones is relatively rich.
Australian jade has an equigranular structure under transparency, while jadeite has a chemical fiber interlocking structure under transparency.
6. The emerald green color of jade has a higher contrast clarity with other tones, while the emerald green color of Australian jade has a similar contrast clarity with other tones. Generally speaking, emerald green jade has visible color roots, while Australian jade does not. 6. The relative density is different: the relative density of jade is 3.33 g/cm3, while that of Australian jade is 2.6 g/cm3, which can be weighed by hand. Jadeite is relatively heavier.
7. Refractive index: The refractive index of Australian jade is 1.55, and the refractive index of jadeite is 1.7.
8. Price: Australian jade has a low price, while jadeite has a high price.
Above is the difference between jade and Australian jade that I think we should share with everyone, and everyone should have a certain grasp of this professional knowledge. Due to the continuous rise in jade prices nowadays, many people in the sales market use Australian jade to counterfeit jade in order to make huge profits. However, many customers are not particularly convinced of the difference between the two, so scams often occur. If one immediately understands the professional knowledge in these areas, they can distinguish between Australian jade and jadeite in a reasonable way, and are less likely to be deceived by some unscrupulous merchants.
Nowadays, there are some Australian jade and jadeite in the sales market that are very similar and difficult to distinguish. Customers without work experience can ask authoritative experts to help evaluate them.
Of course, it’s not that Australian jade is not very good. Jadeite can also be classified into high-quality and fake. Although Australian jade may not have the same value as jade, its color and style are also very good. If the economic development standards are not particularly good, Australian jade can be selected as a decorative design.
