The green pine produced by Derong is polished from natural raw ore, and has not been treated with glue injection, so there will be cracks with minerals. In addition, there are ordinary raw ore non-dyed turquoise in Porcelain City, and high-porcelain and high-blue turquoise in the museum. Panwan changes color much faster than ordinary turquoise in Porcelain City. For green pine hand-playing, pay attention to wearing gloves as much as possible in the early stage, so that the color of the hand-playing will not be cloudy.
How to distinguish whether the green pine is dyed or baked?

- In the case of discoloration, if it is a plastic product or a green pine of an injection product, it cannot be discolored. Gradual process without discoloration.
- Feeling to the touch, no cold jade feeling
It is not possible to use powder drop as the way to distinguish the authenticity of green pine, because if it is raw green pine, it may also drop powder, but the relative price will be much cheaper. (This model is a high-quality product of high porcelain and high blue, so there will be no such products).
