Naming rules and implementation suggestions for quartz jade

According to GB/T 34098-2017, the naming of quartz jade should follow the following principles:
  1. Use the basic name alone to name: such as "quartzite jade", "chalcedony", etc.
  2. The basic name and the trade name can be used together for naming: the trade name should be marked with an annotation, such as "South Red Agate".
  3. The optimized naming should refer to the relevant provisions of GB/T 16552.

Implementation suggestions:

  • Jewelry and jade appraisal institutions should strictly abide by this standard to ensure the accuracy of the naming.
  • Strengthen the standardized management of the trade name of quartz jade to avoid confusion.
  • Consumers are advised to purchase through formal channels and ask for quality certification documents.
