There are many types of jade. Do you know how to distinguish between ice jade and ice-glutinous jade?

Ice jadeite and ice-waxy jadeite are very easy to be confused. Many jade lovers will mistake ice-waxy jadeite for ice jadeite. Today, I will show you how to distinguish ice jadeite from ice-waxy jadeite!

Ice jade has a very transparent texture. In terms of texture, it is only slightly inferior to glass jade.

It has similarities with glass jadeite. Ice jadeite has good water head and the outer surface has a glassy luster, clear like ice, as if it is a piece of ice crystal that will never melt, giving people a feeling of purity and cleanliness.

The ice-type jade with the highest transparency is often called high ice-type in the industry. Although ice-type jade is only three parts warm, it is seven parts cold. Most of them are translucent to transparent, giving people a clear feeling.

Ice-glutinous jade is a type of glutinous jade. Because its transparency and water head are higher than those of ordinary glutinous jade, and it is very similar to ice jade in some aspects, it can be said that ice-glutinous jade is between ice and glutinous jade in terms of water head and texture.

It is a transition between two types, so many people distinguish it from glutinous jade and ice jade, and give it another name.

Just like the ice glass type, it is actually a type of ice jade, but it is high ice type, close to glass type, and the same is true for ice glutinous type. We can also call it ice type.

Ice jade is as crystal clear as ice, and its color is colorless or less colored. Its surface has good gloss, and is translucent or transparent, and is as moist as ice, giving a feeling of purity and cleanliness.

The internal structure of ice-glutinous jade is hazy and opaque, looks like turbid glutinous rice soup, and is translucent.

The knocking sound of ice jade is crisp and pleasant like metal, while the knocking sound of ice glutinous jade is deeper and duller, not so loud.

Ice jade is subdivided into ice type and quasi-ice type. The ice type has full water content and excellent texture; the quasi-ice type has good water content, is translucent, and has very good texture.

The water quality of glutinous jade is not as good as that of ice jade. In addition, some glutinous jade has green, blue and other colored "flowers" floating inside. This kind of jade is called "water-based green flowers" or "water-based blue flowers" jade.
