Jade is “green in color”, so why is colorless ice jade so expensive? You ignored this factor

Even many people who don’t know much about jade can think of green when they hear the word jade. Therefore, green is the representative color of jade. Therefore, for a long time, people have always regarded “green is the most respected color in jade” as the truth, which is why there is a saying that “a one-level difference in color means a ten-fold difference in price”.

However, these two statements must be based on the premise that the jade quality is good. Moreover, with the deepening of people's understanding of jade and the change of their aesthetics and pursuit of jade, jade does not necessarily "value green above all else". Hence the saying "laymen look at color, experts look at quality".

For example, the colorless ice jadeite that is very popular in the market today, its price starts at tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of yuan. Although this kind of jadeite does not have emerald green color, it has delicate quality, is moist and highly transparent, and has the most valuable spirituality and agility of jadeite. At this time, it is not very important whether the jade is colored or not, and the color becomes the added value of the jade.

There is a kind of jade that is evenly and richly green, but its texture is rough, almost opaque, and the stone is very heavy. It feels like a "green stone" in the hand, and it does not reflect any of the spirituality and refinement of jade. This kind of jade is the cheap "Iron Dragon" that everyone sneers at.

Therefore, the quality of jade is the soul of jade and the decisive factor in determining the quality grade of jade. The color will add points and value to jade only when the quality and water are very good. Otherwise, no matter how green it is, it is just a worthless stone.
