What is the type and water content of jadeite?

Although the type and water of jade are related, there are differences between them. For example, the "type" of jade refers to the mineral composition, color, structure, etc. of jade.

Transparency is the comprehensive influence of jade quality, also known as "type" or "quality". Jadeite with good “quality” will also have good water content, but jadeite with good “water content” may not necessarily have good “quality”, that is, it has “quality but no water”.

For example, the fine glutinous variety has very fine grains, the variety is good but the water head is poor. Some anthocyanin varieties are just the opposite. They have good water head, but the germ quality is average due to their color and structure. Glass-type jade is a model of good quality and good water content.
