This time I will share with you the value system of jadeite. The value involves a wide range of things, and it is a comprehensive identification object! Jade is a polycrystal, it is not a single component. Before purchasing jade, it has "type" and "water", and various colors. It is important to have an intuitive understanding of jade first!

If you want to distinguish the value of jadeite, you must first distinguish the quality of jadeite!

The quality of jadeite is reflected in five aspects, which we shared last time, namely "type", "water", "color", "base" and "workmanship". We often talk about the type and water of jadeite. What exactly is the "type and water"?

The type and water content of jade exist together!

There is a saying in the industry that experts look at the type, while laymen look at the color.

"Type" determines the lower limit of jadeite's value, and "color" determines the upper limit of jadeite's value. It's simple, the upper limit is more important than the lower limit. The quality of jade can be divided into glass type, ice type, glutinous type, and bean type. Among them, the glass type is the highest quality, followed by the ice type, then the glutinous type. The glutinous type can be divided into glutinous ice type and glutinous type. The worst is the bean type, which has larger crystal grains, rough surface, weak gloss and low transparency.

First, let’s look at the “species” of jadeite, which is the microscopic structure of jadeite and is used to distinguish the types of jadeite. "Water" refers to the watery feeling of jade and the transparency it reflects.

Generally speaking, jadeite with better “water” will also have better “quality”, but jadeite with better “quality” will not necessarily have better “water”! So we need to separate "water" from "seeds".

Glass Imperial Green Jadeite

The better the water content of the jade, the higher its transparency and its value are also quite high, such as Glass Imperial Green. However, those with too dark black or blue tones must be distinguished.

The crystal structure of the bean variety is short columnar, and the crystal grains are very rough, so its details can be easily seen with the naked eye. There are many types of beans, including cat beans, fine beans, and ice beans.

Bean-type jadeite

The glutinous variety is slightly better and more delicate than the bean variety. It looks like glutinous rice porridge, and its transparency is between slightly transparent to translucent. There are good and bad varieties of glutinous rice, which can be subdivided into fine glutinous rice, glutinous rice thawed, and glutinous rice iced. How to distinguish and identify so many types? The old experts make the analogy like this: the fine glutinous rice is like porridge made from fine glutinous rice, the glutinous rice thawed after being boiled for a long time, and the glutinous rice iced means that too much water is added to the porridge. This is easier to understand.

In terms of grade, glutinous ice is better than glutinous ice, which is better than fine glutinous ice.

Better than the glutinous type is the ice type, which has a texture like ice cubes. The particles are fine and the crystals are arranged more closely. The transparency is between translucent and sub-transparent, and the grades of ice can be divided into true ice, high ice, and ice glass. Poor ice feels like ice cubes, high ice is more transparent, and ice waves look like glass.

Ice Jade

Going up further is the glass type, the highest type of jadeite. The crystal particles are super fine and arranged super tightly, and its transparency is almost completely transparent. The texture is top grade jadeite.

Large quantity will also cause qualitative changes

China has always had the saying that "jade cannot be made into a useful object without being polished and carved", and good "jade" must be able to withstand "polishing and carving".

Even if the quality of jade is the worst, a large amount will cause qualitative changes, and its value is still very high. For example, the treasure of the Jade Buddha City in Sihui, this bean-type jade Guanyin statue that is more than 2 meters tall, is priced at 68 million. This is indeed something that must be praised!

Good things speak for themselves! Jade is worth a lifetime of collection and exploration!

Can you also understand the philosophy of life from jade? See the essence of jade from its appearance, so you can buy it with clarity!

We don't criticize anything in the world! This is not what we want to do! What we need to do is to promote jade culture, understand, identify and discover jade!

By looking at it from Hegel's core idea: everything, including thought, religion, art, science, economy, system, and society, is always changing. The basic reason why things change is that there are contradictory factors in any situation. It is also a methodology for exploring the life philosophy of jade!

This diverse and ever-changing business environment is full of different forms, even if you can see the essence of life! We might as well be more tolerant and understanding.

What other cultural aspects of jade are related to our daily lives? Let’s communicate!
