Do you know how to distinguish the three greens of jadeite?

The "three greens" in jadeite refer to three types: flower green, dry green and oily green. For jade novices, it is still difficult to distinguish them. Today, the editor will talk to you about the differences between the "three greens" of jade. The following are useful information, so hurry up and collect and pay attention.

In fact, it is not difficult to find that they all have the word "qing" in their common color, which means that their tones are mainly cyan. So how do we distinguish them by color? Now let’s listen to the experts and tell you in detail.

First, let’s talk about the flower-green jadeite. Its base color is green or colorless, and the color varies in depth. Some are relatively dense, and some are relatively sparse. The green is mostly a cyan tone, unevenly distributed, and more "flowery". The biggest difference between it and dry green and oily green is the uneven green. The base is generally opaque to slightly transparent, the jadeite crystals are in the form of fine columns and fibrous (metamorphic) aggregates, and the sound of the jade when tapped is like that of stone. It can be roughly divided into bean flower green (the base is bean-type blue, and the green is irregular or floating), and horse tooth flower green (the base is horse tooth type). Most accessories are processed into pendants, bracelets, and carvings. Those with bright green and slightly transparent colors are mid-range, while the others are mid-to-low-range.

Ganqing jadeite usually appears full green, but the green also varies in depth, and the surface luster is dull. It is often accompanied by black spots, black lines, and black blocks, and the crystal particles are large, the structure is rough, and the transparency is very low. Because of its green color, it is often used to make thinner inlaid jewelry. There are also dry green bracelets, but they are often made into carved bracelets.

The content of sodium chrome pyroxene in dry green jadeite is very high, which means that a large part of the characteristics of dry green jadeite come from sodium chrome pyroxene. The dry green jadeite seen on the market is usually "dry", has no water head, low hardness, and more cracks, which is the main reason why this type of jadeite is called "dry green jadeite". In the traditional jadeite market, dry green jadeite has been questioned because its main constituent mineral is sodium chrome pyroxene, and this issue is still controversial today. But we have to affirm that the audience for dry green jadeite is indeed expanding, and more and more people like it.

The color tone of Oily Green Jadeite tends to be dark in series, in line with the characteristics of "green with gray". The gray tone is darker and has a gray and evil feeling. This color does not seem to have much direct connection with green. The color tends to be more "gray" or "gray-black". Some Oily Green Jadeite has some blue mixed in the gray. Compared with the dry green variety, the oil green variety, except for the difference in color, has a relatively delicate base, without any black spots or dark spots, and the water head is much better.

Oil Green

Oil green jade can be divided into three grades: high, medium and low. Among them, high-grade Oil green jade is quite rare. Its color is very uniform, its transparency is very good, and it has a certain luster. Although the color of this kind of Oil green jade belongs to the gray tone, the tone does not have a gray and dull feeling, but reveals masculinity and righteousness in the gray. The price of this kind of Oil green jade is very high, ranging from several thousand yuan to tens of thousands of yuan.
