What is the value of gray jade?

In the fashion world, gray is definitely a fashionable and versatile color, and is also loved by fashion icons, but in the jade world, that is not necessarily the case. The common oily green jadeite is a kind of jadeite with gray color and base. Gray tone is one of its characteristics. This gray tone makes it look calm and solemn, low-key and not ostentatious. It is especially suitable for the elderly or people with stable personalities.

However, if the color of ice or glass jade is grayish, it is a defect and the color is impure. Even if the quality of the jade is good, its value will be greatly reduced. Some high-end ice and glass jades will have a gray band on the edges when exposed to light. This is not because the color or base of the jade has turned gray, but a kind of "fake gray", which is a characteristic of old jade.

The intensity of light has an impact on the grayscale of jade. If the light is strong, the grayscale of jade will be weakened, and vice versa, the grayscale will be heavier. Therefore, when purchasing jade, it is necessary to observe it under natural light as much as possible to most accurately preserve the purity of the jade color and the purity of the base.

It needs to be understood that not all jade with a "gray" color is of low quality. The bottom of blue water and ice oil green jade is grayish, but their quality is very high and the price is not low. Therefore, we must look at the gray color of jade dialectically, which will help us purchase truly valuable jade!
