Hidden Basis for Judging Jade’s Value—Jade’s Texture

Generally speaking,

When it comes to factors that affect the value of jadeite,

There are usually four big dots.

For example, is the jade old or new?

Is the water head sufficient?

Whether the color meets the requirements of being thick, bright and even;

The quality of the carving can affect the value of jadeite.

So what is the texture of jade?

What kind of patterns can stand out in jade?

How do these lines run?

1: What is the texture of jade?

It is well known that natural A-grade jadeite is rare to reach the glass grade.

Nowadays, most jadeite on the market is below ice grade.

This also leads to the fact that many of the jadeite we can see on the market,

Most jade has some texture visible to the naked eye.

The texture of jade is very simple.

It refers to the internal structure of jadeite.

That is the arrangement of crystal particles inside jade.

2: The texture trend of jadeite

The texture arrangement and direction of jade are different.

Due to the long geological process,

Jadeite raw stones have been living under a high-pressure state for a long time;

The columnar crystal structure inside the jade will grow along the area with relatively less pressure.

Over time, lines are formed in the jadeite raw stone.

Usually, as consumers, we don't pay too much attention to the texture of jade when buying it.

However, most merchants have already carefully understood the texture of jade during processing.

Generally, the patterns of jadeite are divided into forward patterns and reverse patterns.

Shun grain refers to when cutting jadeite raw stone,

It is cut along the grain.

This is the straight grain.

The other pattern is the opposite.

That is, the lines produced by cutting against the grain.

This is called reverse grain.

3: The influence of jadeite texture on jadeite

Finished or semi-finished jadeite sheets that have been processed on the market.

Most of the jade lovers cannot see these lines on the dogwood.

So does the texture of jade really have an impact on its value?

The answer is yes.

In fact, the texture of jade can really affect the value of jade.

We often say go with the flow.

When the jade carver is processing jadeite,

Generally, the design is based on the texture of jade.

Generally speaking, jadeite cut along the grain will have more color.

And it is more convenient to process.

If the finished product is beautiful, it can naturally be sold at a good price.

Generally speaking, jadeite with reverse grain is not as valuable as jadeite with direct grain.
