Correctly judging the "color" of jade is the only way to become an expert

Jade comes in a variety of colors, including red, yellow, purple, green, black, blue, white, etc. For example, green can be subdivided into imperial green, sunny green, spinach green, apple green, etc. Color is one of the important factors that determine the price of jadeite. For top-quality jadeite, a slight difference in color can result in a price difference of dozens of times. Correctly judging the "color" of jade is also a must for becoming an expert.

Good colors should be rich, positive, positive and harmonious. The best color of jadeite should be pure, with a concentration of 70%-80%, bright color and even distribution. This kind of high-end jadeite is usually called old pit type by experts.

Color characteristics of jadeite

Colorless jade is glass-type or ice-type jade, which is pure sodium aluminum silicate that does not contain any coloring elements, and is the purest jade.

White

The content of sodium, aluminum and silicon will make jade appear white. White jade is also a common type of jade, and is used in jade pendants and ornaments.

green

Jade's green color is due to chromium and iron. Green is the most valuable color in jade. If there is no quality at all, even if it is pure green, the value of the jade is still not high. When looking at green, you need to see whether there are gray and black tones in it. If there are gray tones, the green will look "dirty"; if there are black tones, the color will become darker. The mixture of gray and black tones will make the color of green jadeite dull. For example, if the chromium content is too high, a drier green variety will be formed.

red

Not all red colors are of high value, only those red jadeites of good quality are more valuable. However, there is a problem with collecting red jadeite. That is, a kind of burnt red jadeite can often be seen in the market. These red jadeites are artificially heated and burned into red. They look unnatural and lack aura. Jade lovers must be careful when purchasing them.

black

The black jade is the black jadeite available on the market today. Black jadeite is not black, but mostly a very dark green. The darker the better under natural light, the greener the better after illumination. Black jade was not recognized in the past, but now its market value has been discovered, and it has the meaning of warding off evil and avoiding danger.

Purple

Purple is also called violet or spring color. Strictly speaking, the output of purple jade is not small. The truly valuable violets are the delicate and colorful purple jadeites, and the price of this kind of jade is rising rapidly.

yellow

The advantages of jadeite are transparency, fine texture, rich and beautiful yellow color. These yellow colors are often used for clever carving to add a lot of color to the jadeite. The yellow color with dull color and poor water head is not of high value.

Yellow Jade

Some people say that the beauty of jade is "three parts natural and seven parts created by nature." The rich colors of jade give jade carvers endless inspiration. The collision of different colors will surely feast our eyes.
