Watch out for the the price and where you buy it. I learnt that if the green in the jade looks vibrant (even if it’s light coloured) and the colours are evenly distributed on it, then it’s real and it’s a good jade. Under light, it is for sure very eye-catching and smooth and “glossy” looking.
The enhanced ones can be greener, but duller.
I’m not sure, but this is what the jewellers in Hong Kong, where I’m from, said.
Hope it helps!
