Why is the value of jadeite higher when it is stained purple?

Violet is a purple jadeite with a color like violet, also known as spring color in the industry. It is said that "red jadeite, green jadeite and purple are the most valuable." Purple was the color of the emperor in ancient China. The purple air comes from the east, which shows the status of purple. This also determines that violet jadeite has been deeply loved by people since its appearance.

Spring colors can be divided into three grades according to their color: high, medium and low, namely red spring, purple spring and blue spring. Red spring is more valuable and purple spring is slightly lower.

Blue Spring Jade

The purple in violet jade can be thick or thin. According to the saturation of purple, the color of violet jade can be divided into five shades, namely royal purple, red purple, blue purple, pink purple, and violet.

Royal Purple: A rich, pure purple with a pure hue and high saturation. This level of purple is rare and almost theoretical.

Reddish purple: A type of purple jadeite that tends to be red jadeite in color. This type of reddish purple is mostly light in jadeite jewelry and not rich enough. It is rare to see rich reddish purple, but this light reddish purple is also rare in the market. Therefore, the market price of reddish purple jadeite is very high.

Blue-purple: Purple with a blue tone. The hue of blue-purple jade varies greatly, from light blue-purple to dark blue-purple.

Pink purple: Pink purple gives people a bluish and reddish feeling, but it does not reach the level of blue purple and red purple. The low-key saturation is generally not high, but pink purple jade generally has better water quality and fine texture.

Violet: The most common type in commerce, ranging from medium dark to light in color, sometimes appears with green to form a spring color.

The main reasons for the high price of purple jade are its rarity, the difficulty in finding high quality, and the cultural heritage it contains.

The raw materials of purple jade are scarce, and high-quality purple jade is even harder to find. Anyone who has come into contact with violet jade should be aware of a saying in the industry: "Nine out of ten are wood." This means that nine out of ten water contents of violet jade are not good. This is a characteristic of violet jade. The common violet jadeites on the market are mostly not purple enough, have a rough texture, and have a strong granular feel, which invisibly raises the price of high-quality violet jadeites.

In traditional Chinese culture, purple symbolizes nobility, elegance, and auspiciousness. It is also the color of the emperor. It is conceivable that purple is the most expensive color. Therefore, purple is also deeply sought after by people, and the color adds a lot of points to violet jadeite. Therefore, the price of jade will definitely increase as long as it is stained with purple.

Be sure to note when purchasing that the color of violet jade will be more intense when observed under yellow light, so it is best to observe it under natural light to best reflect the color of the violet jade itself. Therefore, the color difference of purple will be relatively large when photographing, so try to avoid online shopping and make sure to see it with your own eyes.
