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.

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.
