Does it mean that jade is good if it doesn’t have cotton wool? There are many things to pay attention to when it comes to the cotton wool in jadeite.

Many friends will pay special attention to whether there are some impurities in the jade when choosing jade. They also think that this cotton wool is a defect, which will have some impact on the water quality and color of jade. So what exactly is the cotton in jade? In fact, it is flaky or fibrous, cloud-like substances inside the jade, which are particularly obvious in jade with good transparency.

Generally, professionals will call this substance "cotton in jade". Some people say that many of the names of jade trees come from the minerals in them, the gaps between the seed grains, and the reflection of light, which cause optical phenomena. Others say that the cotton wool in jade is caused by the uneven color distribution of jadeite. However, no matter what the reason for the formation of this cotton wool, it will not have any impact on the quality of the jade itself, because the cotton wool in jade is almost all white, and occasionally some other colors can be seen.

Almost all natural jades have such impurities. It is not only the jades with poor quality that have such impurities. For example, high-end jades have more obvious cotton wool. Because of its good quality, the transparency is higher, so the cotton wool is particularly obvious. There are actually only two impacts on jade. The first is that it will affect the appearance of the jade. Because the cotton on jade is generally formed in an irregular pattern, it will have a certain impact on the appearance.

For example, the patterns formed are particularly beautiful. To be clear, there are relatively few cotton balls inside, but there are also particularly beautiful ones, like the snowflake cotton of Mu Na material, which looks like snow, which adds a lot to the finished jade product. Cotton wool will actually affect the value of jadeite. This is because there are too many flaws in this kind of jade, which will definitely directly affect its value in the market.

Because not all cotton wool in jade is a defect, and not all of it can directly affect the value of this jade. Just like the snowflake cotton just mentioned, it is simply the icing on the cake and will increase the value of this jade. In fact, defects like this will directly affect the diffusion of internal colors.

If the quality of jade is not so good, and there is a lot of cotton in it, and it looks very messy when concentrated together, this will directly affect the color of the jade, and it will not look so good as you can imagine. So is the famous jadeite worth buying? In fact, this is natural, so it is unavoidable, so there will probably be some of it more or less.
