What is the best way to detect treated polymer impregnated jadeite jade when shopping for jadeite jewelry?
The very best way to detect polymer impregnated jadeite is to have GIA (Gemological Instituate of America)to test the jadeite and issue a certificate indicating that no signs of polymer impregnation. All reputable dealers will sell jade subject to a GIA inspection. Do not purchase an expensive piece of jade without a certificate unless you are purchasing from Mason-Kay Jewelers who only sell untreated jade and have the same type of machine that GIA has and will issue their own certificate. Do not accept other certification unless you are willing to also accept the risk.
