Features: Book Introduction: This book is divided into three parts: Yuan and Ming Jade, Ming Amber, and Ming Gems. The actual images included in the book are quite practical for collectors of ancient jade, offering a certain degree of comparison. Identifying the authenticity of ancient jade can primarily be approached from four aspects: the patina, (intrinsic coloration), calcification features, and craftsmanship of the jade. These aspects can all be found as samples in the actual images of this book, providing reference value for collectors and appraisers of jade. Yu Jiming: A seasoned antique appraiser.
