If you bought a cheap jade roller, it doesn’t mean it’s worthless! You can still use the roller for its cooling, soothing properties (especially if you pop it in the fridge first).
Sometimes jade can be turned pink or black because of impurities. However, it’s not very common.
If the “jade” looks completely smooth and all one color, it’s probably chrysoprase, which is commonly used as an imitation jade.
Always use a metal object for this test. Jade can’t get scratched by steel, so it’s a great way to differentiate between real and fake.
Other stones, like marble, can also be cool to the touch, so you shouldn’t rely on this test 100%. However, you can use it in conjunction with a few others on this list.
This is a good starting point, but it can’t tell you definitively whether or not jade is real.
This test works best if you have a piece of jade on-hand that you know is authentic. You can tap both of them on your table and listen to the difference in sound.
If they didn’t send a certificate and you’re wondering if the jade is real, you can always reach out to the company you purchased the roller from. If the jade is real, they should be able to send you proof.
This test can be a little involved, and it might cost you some money. You should only take your jade roller to a jeweler if you’re super curious or you spent a lot of money on it.
