7 key points for jadeite color appraisal, each one is worth remembering

There are many types of jade, and each piece of jade is unique. The change of its color also determines its value. So, how do we distinguish the quality of jadeite of different colors?

green

Green jade is the most valuable type of jade. However, if it is a green jadeite with no quality at all, even if it is full green, its value will still not be too high.

When looking at the green color of jadeite, it is mainly necessary to see whether there are gray and black tones inside the jade. Green will look dirty if it has a gray tone. If a black tint is added, the color will become darker.

Purple

Purple jade is also known as violet jade. Its mysterious and noble purple color is also called "spring color" by insiders. The jadeite that has both green and purple colors is the famous spring-colored jadeite. Jadeite that has the four colors of yellow, green, purple and white is also called Fu Lu Shou Xi Jadeite. The output of purple jade is not large. The blocks are large, and most of the crops are lotus root powder. There is a saying in the industry that "nine out of ten purples are coarse", which means that violet jade usually has coarser crystal grains and lower transparency.

red

Red jadeite is very valuable and its output is very rare. Good quality and transparent red jadeite is extremely rare and priceless. The value of red jadeite lies in its rarity and natural nature, while "burned red" red jadeite is not only not rare, but has also depreciated because it has undergone special treatment. Collecting this kind of "burned red" red jadeite has almost no appreciation potential and collection value. The surface of “burned” red jadeite often forms a uniform layer of red, which lacks spiritual energy. Old players can easily see it.

black

Black jade generally refers to black jadeite. The color of black jadeite is deep, and it has the meaning of warding off evil and avoiding danger. When illuminated, the black jadeite reveals a emerald green color, which is very charming. The production of black jadeite is scarce, especially high-quality black jadeite, which is even rarer. Scarcity makes things valuable, and black jadeite has great potential for appreciation.

In short, to judge the quality of jadeite of different colors, we must consider these four principles: rich, bright, positive, and uniform. Only jade that meets this principle is real and high-value jade.
