What should we pay attention to when identifying jadeite? How to distinguish the types of jade?

The quality of jade depends on many factors, such as its color, texture, brightness, structure and crack size. Among them, color, texture and purity are the most important and fundamental factors. Nowadays, most jade species are named according to their origin type, color characteristics, transparency characteristics, structural features, etc. At present, people usually refer to it as "type", which is a combination of various quality factors of jade, and it is also the name of certain specific quality jade. No matter what the name of the jade "type" is, its meaning is just to describe a certain type of jade with a specific quality.

Glass type: The literal meaning is jade that is like glass. Most of this variety are like transparent glass. The crystal mineral particles are very fine and uniform. It has high hardness, high purity, extremely high quality, good light transmittance, and is as transparent and bright as glass. When the top-quality glass is placed on paper, the text on the paper can be clearly seen through the jade.

Longshi Type: Longshi Type jade is a rare treasure in Myanmar. It is a type of jade that grows in caves. It has the characteristics of being warm in winter and cool in summer. It is full of water, round and full, and has excellent color. Longshi jade has no cotton texture or impurities, and is as smooth and delicate as silk, with a lingering luster on the surface. It is truly as warm and smooth as jade, and is the top grade of jade.

Gold thread type: refers to a type of jadeite whose color is distributed in ribbon-like shapes and is usually arranged in parallel. It has a rich color, and the stripes can be thick or thin. It is usually a bright green color, so it is called "gold thread". The thicker the color strip, the larger the area ratio, and the brighter the color, the higher the value of the jade.

Ice type: colorless, white or nearly white, transparent to sub-transparent jade, looks like melted ice, and is a translucent jade. If the ice jade contains green or blue flowers, the industry calls it "ice jade with floating flowers"; when it has no color, it is called "white ice". Ice jade with good texture is very expensive and is an important variety in the current jade market.

Qingshui: It is a type of jade base color, or it is called the base color of jade. The clear bottom can be glass, ice or glutinous. Typical clear water also contains light blue or green. The color looks some light blue or light green, which looks pleasing and pure. Good quality Qingshui jade has a harmonious color and a water-like aura. The color is even and gentle, and it looks like a clear sky.

Ganqing type: Ganqing type refers specifically to green sodium chrome pyroxene jadeite, which has a metallic texture and grains that can be distinguished by the human eye, but has poor transparency. The color tone is close to pure green, with little variation in tone. Its bright and rich color is a test of the viewer's appreciation and taste.
