The formation, value and selection of yellow jadeite, you will learn by seeing it!

Yellow jadeite is one of the main colors of jadeite. As the name suggests, it is jadeite with yellow color.

Yellow jadeite can be divided into two categories: yellow jadeite and jadeite yellow. Yellow jadeite is jadeite with mainly jade color (brown-red) with a yellow hue; jadeite yellow is jadeite with mainly yellow hue with a brown hue.

The color layers of yellow jade are very rich, including light yellow, dark yellow, orange yellow, golden yellow, etc. The yellowest can be chestnut yellow, chicken oil yellow and lemon yellow. Among them, the best quality natural yellow jade is also called golden jade. It is orange or honey color, crystal clear, bright and uniform in color. It is the best grade of yellow jade and is relatively rare.

In addition, people often classify yellow-green (jade with both yellow and green colors in one piece) as yellow jade.

form

The color of yellow jadeite is a secondary color of jadeite formed by the impregnation of limonite. It is located above red jadeite, closer to the surface, and is distributed as a mottled and reticular "yellow fog".

Water

Affected by the reasons for its formation, the texture of most yellow jade is relatively loose, the water quality is not very good, and the transparency is not very high. Most yellow jade is turbid and impure, often with brown color, not bright enough and not transparent enough.

Generally speaking, the quality of yellow jadeite is between glutinous and bean types. Yellow jadeite that can reach ice type is extremely rare and can be encountered but not sought after.

In the past, people blindly pursued green jade, believing that only green jade was the best. However, as their understanding of jade deepened and jade became more and more scarce, people gradually began to pay attention to yellow jade. In recent years, the price of yellow jade has been rising continuously.

Although in general, the price of yellow jade is generally lower than that of green jade.

But in fact, high-quality yellow jade is also very beautiful and very valuable. The price of yellow jade with good quality and evenly distributed color is not much inferior to that of green jade.

The highest quality yellow jade is often formed on the outer skin of jade water stone. It is thinner and smaller in size, making it difficult to make into bracelets, so high quality yellow jade bracelets are very precious.

According to the standard of jadeite color, which is rich, bright and uniform, the yellower the jadeite, the higher its value. For example, chestnut yellow jadeite of ice grade or above is very beautiful, rare and precious. An ice-type chestnut yellow jadeite pendant costs about one million yuan.

However, the price of yellow jadeite of average quality is not high. For example, some brownish yellow jade pendants generally cost between several hundred and one thousand yuan.

Purchase

Yellow jade appears frequently in jade jewelry and handicraft carvings (such as yellow jade Guanyin pendants, etc.). When purchasing, you should pay attention to its color distribution, uniformity and water quality.

First of all, the most important thing is the color. It must be pure yellow. Try to avoid choosing yellow jade with brown or dark tones. Pure yellow jade will have a noble atmosphere and look noble, elegant and beautiful.

The second is the quality of the jadeite. The better the quality of the yellow jadeite, the more precious and rare it is, and the higher its value, so it has room for collection and appreciation.
