How to differentiate between natural marble lamps and imitation marble lamps in terms of quality

Marble Lamp Texture: Natural marble, primarily sourced from Spain, boasts a soft texture, making it easily hand-polished. Domestically, "Pine Resin Jade" is commonly used for lampshades, known for its yellowish hue and harder texture, necessitating machine polishing. Natural marble is celebrated for its distinctive patterns, while imitation marble lamps exhibit uniform textures due to artificial manufacturing.

     

Marble Lamp Weight: Natural marble lamps typically weigh more than their imitation counterparts of the same size.

           

Lighting Effect: Light from natural marble lamps disperses evenly and softly throughout the lamp body, contrasting with the potentially uneven distribution in imitation marble lamps.

         

Marble Lamp Feel: Natural marble lamps offer a tactile experience akin to matte surfaces, while imitation marble lamps often feature a glossy finish and smooth feel.

           

Marble Lamp Composition: Natural marble is relatively soft, producing a powdery texture when scraped with a blade and leaving marks with light tapping. Conversely, scraping imitation marble yields flakes, with no marks left by gentle tapping with a hard object.
