What is Jadeite Jade? How to choose jadeite?

Usually, we also call black jadeite black jade, which is a precious and rare high-grade jadeite with dark color like ink. The Burmese call it "lover's shadow" and people in Hong Kong and Taiwan call it "the shadow of a successful man". You can imagine how popular it is. Black jade has become popular in recent years and is widely collected because of its unique color.

1. Introduction to Black Jade

Jadeite is not actually black, but a very deep green. Caused by omphacite or alkaline hornblende or secondary oxides. The quality of black jadeite, like other jadeite, has different colors, and the craftsmanship accounts for a large proportion of the price of black jadeite.

2. Fine Black Jade

Black jade is buried deep under the surface, with scarce production and limited mining. Currently, black jade accounts for less than 2% of the jade market. Its unique latent color characteristics, combined with China's carving art and jade culture, make it extremely attractive. Those with good quality and high quality are very valuable.

Because black jade is closer to the center of the earth, its magnetic field is stronger. Feng shui masters unanimously agree that black jade has the function of warding off evil spirits, preventing poisonous insects, and driving away ferocious beasts, and it also has a magnetic field that attracts wealth. The color ranges from dark green to pitch black. It appears black under ordinary sunlight or reflected light, and emerald green or dark green under transmitted light. It has a heavy color, fine texture, and dense particles.

3. How to choose black jadeite

When purchasing black jadeite, the first thing to consider is its quality.

1. In terms of appearance color, we should choose the one with a black surface color. The darker the color of the jadeite, the better, as it can reveal a sense of mystery, solemnity, dignity and elegance.

2. In terms of surface gloss, the stronger the jadeite's gloss, the better, and the purer the translucent green hue, the better.

3. White cotton is also an important factor affecting the quality of black jadeite. The less white cotton, the better the quality of black jadeite.

4. Pay attention to the difference between black jadeite and black jade. When purchasing black jadeite, you should be careful to identify whether what you purchased is black jadeite. Never mistake black jade for black jadeite. So when purchasing black jadeite, you should choose black jadeite with a jet-black appearance as black as ink, a strong surface gloss, good translucent green color, less white cotton, and a dense structure.
