108 colors of jade! Which color do you like?

Jade is the essence of heaven and earth and a masterpiece created by nature. Much of the beauty in nature is presented by colors. But when talking about jade, the first word that comes to everyone’s mind is “green”, like this.

1. Primary colors

Colorless - white.

2. Dry White

Milky white color. Due to the coarse grains of the jade itself and the loose structure, the transparency is poor, resulting in the appearance of dry white medium and low-grade jade.

green

The reason why jade is so attractive is closely related to its charming green color. Green symbolizes life and vitality, and high-end green jade is a symbol of wealth.

Some of the green jadeite we commonly see:

1. Emerald Green

4. Dark green

Jimo jade, due to its extremely high Gr and Fe content, looks black, but is actually dark green or dark green. It is still bright green under strong light. This is probably the legendary "green to black". If it is accompanied by good carving, it can also show a sense of solemnity.

Purple

Purple jade is also called camellia color or violet jade, which is caused by the presence of Mn in jade. Because its color is similar to that of the buds of the Chinese toon tree, the industry also calls it "spring". Common purple can be divided into eggplant purple and pink purple, but purple jade generally has a coarser texture and often has visible granularity, which is referred to as “nine out of ten purples are wood” in the jargon. Purple represents wealth, symbolizes the coming of good fortune, and is a symbol of luck and fortune.

1. Eggplant Purple

Purple is rich and pure, with high saturation and medium brightness, giving it a sense of wealth, grace and beauty.

2. Pink and purple

Purple with a pink hue exudes a unique romantic feel.

Secondary Color

Yellow Jade

Yellow jade symbolizes brilliance. Yellow jade of good quality is also rare and has a certain collection value.

3. Combination of colors

When multiple colors are combined on a piece of jade, jade carving masters have more room for imagination and creativity. The carefully designed and carved works have bright colors and strong contrasts, which are very interesting. At the same time, it also gives these natural treasures auspicious meanings.

Fu Lu Shou

It is composed of jadeite, green and purple, representing the traditional Chinese gods of fortune, wealth and longevity respectively. This kind of jade is called tri-color jade, or fortune, wealth and longevity jade.

Spring color

Jadeite has both violet and green colors. "Spring" means violet and "Cai" means green.

The contrast between yellow jade and green, with green mixed with yellow, is like a scene of harvest in autumn. Yellow-green is a very rare variety of jade because it must have both primary green and secondary yellow, which makes it more difficult to form and rarer than single green jade.
