White jade is not valuable? That's because you don't know this kind of jade!

I believe that in the eyes of most people, jade is most valuable because of its green color. Some people may even think that only green jade is valuable. In fact, this is not the case, because in addition to green, jade also comes in red, yellow, white, black, etc. What I want to introduce to you today is a kind of white or colorless jade. Do you know what this jade is? If you don’t know, let’s continue reading!

In fact, what I want to introduce to you today is the ice type of jade. Ice type is upper-range or mid-range jade. The jade materials are often used to make bracelets, pendants, plain shapes, jade pendants, jade bracelets, round beads and other accessories. The characteristic of ice type is that the outer surface has a good luster, which is translucent to transparent, clear like water and gives people a feeling of ice and jade. When the jade is struck, it makes a crisp metallic sound, and the shape and appearance of the jade resembles ice crystals. Colorless or less colored, uniform grain size, grains distinguishable by naked eye, pure jadeite without impurities, fine texture, no cracks, streaks, cottony patterns or rare patterns.

Generally speaking, people are accustomed to calling the transparency of jade "water head". The longer the water head of jade is, the more transparent the jade is. If the water head of jade is poor or short, it means that the transparency of jade is poor. The transparency of jade is referred to as "water content" in the jewelry industry. One point of water means that jadeite with a thickness of 3 mm is translucent, and "two points of water" means that jadeite with a thickness of 6 mm is translucent. Jadeite with two-point water has a very good glass texture. It is important to note that when observing transparency, the intensity of light and changes in jade thickness have a greater impact on it.

Ice jade looks pure and transparent. The difference from glass jade is that it is only three parts warm but seven parts cold. Although ice jade is not as precious as glass jade, but in real life, excluding commercial reasons, real ice jade is hard to come by. Because of this, ice jade has received the following praise in the industry: "Ice bracelets are free of glitz and show calmness, and are excellent jewelry for mature women; ice pendants sweep away impetuousness and are the best choice for steady men."

In addition to ice jadeite, the more common types on the market now include glass type, ice glutinous type, glutinous type, bean type, oily green type, hibiscus type, lotus root powder type, gold wire type and so on. In order to deepen the impression, we will now mainly compare the ice type and the old pit glass type. Old pit type jade is commonly known as "old pit glass type" in the business world. It usually has a glassy luster, its texture is delicate, pure and flawless, and its color is pure, bright, rich and uniform emerald green. Old pit type jade is mainly composed of a metamorphic structure with fiber interwoven, and the jadeite grains are very fine. Therefore, it is extremely difficult to see the jadeite texture with the naked eye. Old pit glass type jade appears translucent to transparent under the light, and is the best or best quality jade.

The texture of ice jade is similar to that of old pit glass jade, which is colorless or less colored. The characteristic of ice jade is that the outer surface has a good luster, translucent to transparent, clear like water, giving people a feeling of ice and jade. If the ice-type jadeite has floc-like or intermittent vein-like blue color, it is called "blue flower ice". It is for this reason that ice jade is often used to make jewelry such as jade bracelets and jade pendants.

The above is some knowledge about ice jadeite. Therefore, when purchasing jadeite, you do not need to blindly pursue green jadeite. White to colorless jadeite like ice jadeite is also very beautiful and has great collection value!
