Which one is better, yellow jadeite or green jadeite?

In the eyes of many laymen, color is the first impression of jade. Each color of jade has its own unique charm. Even if it is the same green jade, it will bring different visual experiences depending on the intensity of the green.

In traditional concepts, green jade has always occupied a dominant position, and the idea that jade is more valuable when it is green is still recognized by the vast majority of people.

With the development of the times, people's concepts are constantly changing and updating, and they have many new understandings of jade. The situation in which green jade dominates the market is gradually broken, and people begin to pay attention to categories other than green jade, such as colorless jade.

It is under such environmental conditions that yellow jadeite has gradually come into the public eye and gained attention and love.

So, which one is better, yellow jade or green jade?

How about green jadeite?

Green jade is one of the most common jade varieties, mainly including full green and floating green jade.

The green grade classification of jadeite is also subdivided into many categories: light green, green, emerald green, dark green and dark green.

In addition, it should be noted that many green jadeites are not pure color, but generally have mixed colors, such as yellow-green, gray-green, and blue-green.

Of course, variegated colors do not necessarily have a low value. If the tone of the variegated colors is light yellow-green, it can also be regarded as a unique jade color. However, if the variegated colors contain gray or blue tones, the value of the jade will usually be greatly affected.

How about yellow jade?

Yellow is the secondary color of jadeite, which is the "yellow fog" produced by the contamination of limonite during the formation of jadeite.

Yellow jade often has a loose structure and low transparency, appearing turbid and blurry.

The better colors of yellow jadeite are chestnut yellow, chicken-fat yellow and lemon yellow. Since better quality yellow jadeite comes from water stone of jadeite, it generally has a thin skin and a small output. It is very rare for yellow jadeite with better water quality to reach ice quality.

Therefore, a few yellow jadeites with full water content and transparent texture usually have high collection value.

When evaluating the quality of a certain type of jade, in addition to color being an important reference standard, the quality, water head, carving, weight, etc. will all affect the value of jade.

Therefore, the question of which is better, yellow jadeite or green jadeite, is actually a complicated issue. At the same time, the evaluation of color is also a matter of personal opinion and contains a large degree of subjective elements . It is meaningless to simply evaluate which type of jadeite is better.

The price of yellow jade

High-quality yellow jade has bright, uniform and translucent color, and its quality reaches ice grade.

For example, a full-color yellow jade bracelet is very rare. Because the high-quality yellow jade raw materials are relatively small in size, and the raw materials that can be cut into jade bracelets are even rarer, so high-quality yellow jade bracelets are very rare.

Although jade is famous for its emerald green color, high-grade yellow jade is actually not inferior to green jade, and some can even be comparable to green jade .

Scarcity makes things valuable. Good quality yellow jadeite is usually very expensive. If the yellow jadeite reaches the ice grade or above, the price can reach about one million yuan.
