Talk about the difference between jadeite rigidity and jadeite luster

We all know that when a piece of jade appears rigid or lustrous, it means that it is of high quality. So, do you know what the difference is between these two industry terms that describe high-end jade?

Jade rigidity refers to the fact that jade visually appears to have a glass-like cold luster and hard texture due to light. Generally, jade can only appear in a fully rigid state when the jade quality is fine enough, the internal crystal structure is dense enough, the hardness is high, the water head is good, and the polishing process is sophisticated enough. Although the rigidity of jade is reflected in the sense of light, the hardness of its own material is mainly felt through the sense of light.

The luster of jadeite is mainly related to the quality of jadeite, its shape, polishing angle, etc. It specifically refers to the phenomenon that the surface of jadeite presents a white, soft, hazy light after being affected by light. Generally, as long as the quality and transparency of the jade are good enough, it is possible to appear.

Compared with the hard feeling of jadeite when it is tough, the light presented by jadeite when it is shiny is softer. Therefore, although both are professional terms used to describe high-quality jadeite, there are obviously obvious differences in their definitions.

However, generally speaking, there is a certain relationship between hardness and luster, because most jadeite with hardness will also have luster at the same time, especially when the jadeite reaches at least the ice level, such coexistence phenomenon often occurs. But on the other hand, jadeite that is shiny is not necessarily hard.
