There is jadeite that is more precious than imperial green. Do you know what kind of jadeite it is?

Jade is a polycrystalline aggregate, as jade is composed of multiple minerals. Therefore, jadeite also has good and bad overall quality. The common jadeites in the market usually include glass, ice, glutinous, bean-type jadeites. Most people think that glass-type imperial green jadeite is the most precious type of jadeite, but there is also a rarest type of jadeite, which is called dragon stone jadeite.

Longshi is a very rare type of jade. It is the only type of jade that grows in caves. It is warm in winter and cool in summer. It is full of water, making people feel that the water is about to overflow, and has excellent luster. Among them, Longshi is the top grade type of jadeite, with no cotton texture or impurities, as smooth and delicate as silk, extremely warm and radiating fluorescence. Dragon Stone Jade is a rare treasure from Myanmar. Due to its cold quality and cold color, it is extremely rare, so it is named “Dragon Stone” jade, implying that it is as hard to come by as a dragon.

Although the glass-type imperial green jadeite is already a very precious type of jadeite, the dragon stone-type jadeite is even rarer than the imperial green jadeite and has better quality. Therefore, dragon stone jade is a rare and high-quality type of jade, so the most precious among jades should be dragon stone jade. However, this kind of dragon stone jade is extremely rare so there are basically few physical objects in the market. Because jade of this quality is usually purchased at extremely high prices for collection. Even glass-type imperial green jade can still be seen in the market, but this kind of dragon stone jade is basically rare.

The dragon stone species is the top-grade variety of jadeite. It is also known as the "agate species" in the Yunnan industry. It may be because the delicate and soft texture of agate is used to describe the fine and rare texture of this jadeite. In Taiwan and Hong Kong, it is also called the Shenlong species or the dragon species. Longshi jade specifically refers to jade with a very fine texture and excellent luster. It is warm in winter and cool in summer. It is full of water and makes people feel that the water is about to overflow. It is as smooth as milk and as smooth and delicate as silk. The color of jade is extremely warm and fluorescent. It is very, very rare and has truly reached the realm of "round and smooth". It is a very rare and good variety of jade. In addition, the dragon stone species has obvious characteristics, such as: old species, bright color, correct color, strong fluorescence, colorless roots, uniform and very little cotton.

The texture of Longshi jade is better than glass jade, with excellent gloss and transparency, and no cotton or impurities can be seen with the naked eye. It is full of water and feels like you can squeeze water out of it with just one handful. At the same time, it has obvious fluorescence, which is icy and cold, while the jade quality is as smooth and delicate as silk and extremely warm. The color is mainly green or light green, the color is uniform and no color roots can be seen. Moreover, the crystal grains are fine, and generally the phenocryst grains are of average size.

In addition, there are many different concepts about dragon stone or divine stone jade. In the Jade Dictionary edited by Xiao Yongfu, the godfather of oriental jewelry, dragon stone jade is explained as follows: Dragon jade refers to jade whose green color is completely melted into the base, that is, the color is completely melted into the microscopic grains of jade. Therefore, the green color is uniform and the color is very coordinated with the base. The color tone is neither dark nor light, with no patterns, no cotton, and no color roots. The jadeite has a gorgeous, lustrous and luxurious beauty revealed from its “base” and is the highest quality variety of jadeite. However, due to its extremely rare output, very few people have actually seen dragon stone jade. The Longshi jade is not only good in overall quality, but also has a very high collection value in the market. It is a kind of jade that is priceless.
