When choosing jadeite, should we choose its quality or color?

Since jade is formed under geological action, it will have different qualities when it is formed, that is, the variety of jade, and also the color formed. Among them, the common jade varieties in the market are usually divided into glass type, ice type, glutinous type, bean type, etc. When choosing jadeite, it is not just about choosing the quality or color. It is necessary to judge based on the overall quality, water quality, color, and workmanship of the jadeite before making a choice.

Jade is a polycrystalline aggregate, among which jade is mainly formed under geological action. Jade is mainly composed of jadeite or jadeite, sodium sodium chrome pyroxene and sodium calcium pyroxene omphacite, and contains minerals such as amphibole, feldspar, chromite, limonite, etc. Secondly, it is more difficult to choose whether to choose jadeite based on its quality or color. Because the variety and color of jade are two different choices, and the higher the variety of jade, the higher the quality of jade. On the contrary, colored jade is not necessarily more valuable than jade with good quality.

If the jadeite is of the same grade, it is generally recommended to choose the one with color. Because jade has color, it is better than colorless and transparent jade both in appearance and value. Among them, jade has always been the most valuable because of its green color, so green jade is more valuable than jade of other colors of the same variety. The reason why green jade is so valuable is that green is a relatively pure color, and the greener and purer the color, the higher the quality of the jade.

For example, imperial green jadeite, which is a type of jadeite with a greener color. But not all jade can be called imperial green jade. Generally speaking, among the jade raw stones, only the glass-type jade with sufficient water content and deep color can become imperial green jade. Other types of jade with slightly worse water content and color cannot be considered imperial green. Therefore, imperial green jadeite is not a type of jadeite that can be called that casually.

Therefore, whether to choose jadeite based on its quality, water content or color, it is usually necessary to judge based on the type, water content, color, and workmanship of the jadeite. The varieties of jade are divided into glass, ice, glutinous, bean, etc. Among them, the higher the variety of jade, the higher the value, and the more transparent the water will be. Secondly, the colors of jadeite are divided into green, purple, yellow, white, etc., and the carving craftsmanship must be intact and flawless. Therefore, when selecting jadeite, if the jadeite is of high quality, has translucent water, is colorless, and has intact carving craftsmanship, then in this case it is right to choose jadeite with good water quality.

On the contrary, if the varieties of jade are the same, the water head is also clear and transparent, but one is colorless and transparent, and the other is evenly distributed green. In this case, it is better to choose jadeite with evenly distributed green. Because green jade is more beautiful than colorless jade in the market both in price and appearance, and its value is also relatively higher. Of course, this situation rarely exists. Because the quality of each jade is very different, how to choose jade still needs to be judged based on the specific situation.

In addition, since jade is more valuable in the market, there are also cases of jade counterfeiting in the market. Therefore, you need to be careful to identify it when purchasing jade. Especially under the light, if the color of the jade appears unnatural, or the luster is waxy, it is most likely fake jade. The color of real jade is natural coloring ions, so the color of jade is inside the jade, not on the surface. Therefore, the color appears natural under the light and emits a glassy luster.

Fake jade is usually made of resin and then artificially dyed, so the color of fake jade stays on the surface and emits unnatural colors under the sunlight.
