Here are some more information for Jadeite Jade:
Jade is a beautiful green colored precious gemstone. A real jade can comprise of one of the two different minerals namely, jadeite or nephrite. However, most of the times people cannot figure out the difference between the real and fake jade and hence get cheated by the dealers. Any stone which is green in color must not be jade. It can be anything from a simple crystal to plastic. One must check the gemstone for a few things before buying it in order to confirm if it is a real jade. Here is the list of ways that one can find out whether the stone is an authentic jade or not.
Basic Information
One must possess some basic information regarding the gem in order to be able to identify its originality. It is a fact that authentic jade can only be either jadeite or nephrite. Myanmar produces the most expensive and exclusive jadeite such as Burmese jadeite, Burma Jade, Imperial Jade or Chinese Jade. British Columbian mines produce nearly 75 percent of jade in the form of nephrite. Although fake jade stones could be made of any material, however, some of the most popular gems that look like jade can be aventurine quartz, serpentine, Chrysoprase also known as Australian Jade, opaque dolomite marble or Malaysia Jade.
Identification through Naked Eyes
If you bring the gem in bright light, you will be able to see a fibrous intertwining that resembles asbestos structure and pattern of 10X loupe. If you can see that in the stone, then it can be confirmed that it is a real nephrite or jadeite.
Density
Jade is a high density gemstone with jadeite weighing around 3.3 and nephrite approximately 2.95 in density. Either one can perform a special density test or can simply through the stone up in the air. When the stone falls back into your palms, it might feel a little heavier than the rest of the stones or equivalent to them. If it feels heavy then it is likely to be a genuine jade. Another way one can check if he/she is being sold an authentic jade is by clonking it against a real jade stone, if you have one. The sound produced as a result of clinking can help one determine the authenticity of the stone. If it gives a sound of a heavy stone then it is a real jade. On the other hand, if the sound resembles more to a plastic collision then you have a fake jade in your hand.
Using your Hands
A real jade must feel smooth, cold and soft just like a piece of soap. It would take some time to draw heat from your hand and get warm. This is a sign of pure jade.
Above mentioned ideas can help you get an idea of whether you are in for a fair deal or not. You can also learn a few tests such as density test and scratch test in order to be more certain about your findings.

Hi how do you tell good jade/jadeite from cheap crap?
It takes a lot of hands on experience to be able to grade the quality of jade. Put imitations, simulants, synthetics, assembled and treated material into the equation and it becomes much more difficult.
It would take a thick book chockful of pictures to explain, but I can't do that so I'll be brief here! Here are some guidelines as to what makes good quality jade:
Color
Greens and Lavenders command most, followed by fancy colors like red, yellow, black etc. Look for pure and intense color. Undetones of grey or brown are not desirable.
Clarity
Color alone is not enough. Good jade must also have a good translucency and texture. Visualise a glowing glob of pure color that has a glassy or honey-like texture! It should also be free from blemishes such as clouds (white inclusions), black spots, distracting veining and host rock material.
Cut & Carat
The ideal size for a cabachon is approximately the dimensions of a man's thumbnail. It should be balanced, sufficiently thick and polished to a glossy luster. The luster should look as if it is wet or oily. You may have observed many stones of rather attractive coloring that unfortunately look dull and/or dry. This is undesirable. It is not known widely, but it takes a goodcraftsman is able to "read" the graining of the rough material to get the best polish. Jade that is cut too thin projects a false translucency and suffers durability problems.
A premium is paid for antique jades, antique jade jewelry, and good jade carvings.
Look out for jades that have been bleached, dyed or both, assembled, coated etc. Also be aware that jade has many simulants e.g. Chrysoprase, Aventurine Quartz, Maw-sit-sit, Serpentine, Bowenite etc....
Hope that helps!
