As the price of jadeite gets higher and higher, are there fewer people suitable for collection?

"Type" is one of the key factors in measuring the quality of jadeite. It refers to the coarseness and transparency of jade texture, which everyone knows. When it comes to jadeite, those who know the business will first ask about the quality of jadeite. The classification of jadeite quality is very detailed, and often a slight mistake can lead to a huge difference in price. As the saying goes, "If the water price increases by one cent, it will increase by ten taels." This is exactly what it means. How to say Tiantian Cuixuan Yipin

What is glass jade?

Glass jade, as the name suggests, is jade with extremely high transparency like glass. The jade is so fine that it is difficult to see the internal fiber structure. Glass-type jade has a pure texture and very few impurities, but some may also have cotton (usually in the form of dots or flocs). Of course, the value of jade without any cotton will be higher. Transparency is not exactly the same as glass, this is just an analogy.

Its most notable feature is that it has a luster that can be seen by the naked eye, which experts call "lustering". It also appears rigid, with a clean and clear base and a bright luster.

Colored glass jade is very rare. This is how God created it. He gives the species but not the color, or gives the color but not the species. There will be no fish in clear water, and no color without impurities. If it has color, such as the very rare green glass jade, its color will be bright and transparent. If the color meets the four requirements of rich, positive, positive and uniform, it can be said to be a rare and top-quality glass jade.

Glass-type jadeite comes from old mines. Old mine jadeite raw materials are very scarce in the place of origin, accounting for less than 1% of the mine jadeite raw material output. Gambling on stones is gambling on the quality and greenness of jadeite. The raw stones of old mine jadeite often have skins, and the gambling nature of the raw stones is also relatively large. In the raw material market, most of these raw stones, whether in the country of origin, Myanmar, or in China, need to be sold through auctions. Therefore, old mine jadeite raw stones are relatively rare.

High appearance and high value

In recent decades, due to China's rapid economic development, wealthy people have emerged in large numbers, people's knowledge of jewelry has continued to improve, and collecting and investing in jewelry has become a popular activity, especially jadeite. Especially the wealthy, celebrities and high-income white-collar workers have collected and invested in jade in large quantities in the past 20 years. Green high-end jade was once snapped up crazily, and the price soared, making it difficult for ordinary people to afford it.

Since the Chinese people's preference for jade is irreplaceable by other gems, but green jade is very rare, under such circumstances, people's aesthetic concepts about jade have undergone tremendous changes. Colorless glass jade has high transparency and clean and bright colors, which is more in line with modern people's aesthetics. Therefore, in the past decade, colorless glass jade has been deeply sought after by people, and its price has been rising year by year, making it one of the fastest rising jade varieties.
