Jade is a type of jade. There are many types, with more than a dozen common types. Different jades have great differences in texture and color. Products made of jade come in various forms, and most of them are of high quality, such as the common jade Buddha, lucky beans, Ruyi, etc. Jade embodies people's yearning for a pure life and their pursuit of happiness and peace, so it is loved by collectors and the public. However, if you want to buy jadeite of truly good quality nowadays, you still need to have certain identification skills. There is no fixed pattern for evaluating the quality of jadeite, but good jadeite must meet the three characteristics of "good quality", "good color" and "good craftsmanship". 1. The meaning of “species” and how to judge it The quality of jadeite mainly depends on its "quality". Jadeite with good "quality" must be more valuable than jadeite with good color. For example, the value of jadeite with good color and short water head is definitely not as high as that of old pit glass jadeite with poor color. Under the same circumstances, the value of dragon stone jadeite will be higher than old pit glass. "Type" is the most critical factor in evaluating the quality of jadeite. It refers to the transparency, glossiness and light reflection strength of the original jadeite material. Generally speaking, the higher the transparency of the raw material, the stronger the reflection, and the better the quality. In addition to looking at transparency, jade with a fine texture will be relatively better quality. In such jade, the mineral particles inside are basically invisible, and it looks more transparent. For buyers, the way to judge the quality of a product mainly comes from their own "practice makes perfect". The more times they choose, compare and buy, the more experience they will naturally gain. You can go to more auction houses and jade stores to observe and touch jade of different grades to improve your perception and judgment of the jade surface. Generally speaking, jadeite that shows obvious "rigidity", "gelatinous texture" and "crystal clearness" must be of good quality. 2. How to judge “color” The color of jade will also affect the quality of its texture. A good jade color must have the following four characteristics: "rich, positive, even, and positive". "Rich" refers to the color concentration of jade, which is generally best between 70% and 80%; "positive" refers to the proportion of green, the higher the proportion, the better; "Yang" refers to the brightness of the color. The higher the green content in jade, the brighter the overall color will be; "Jin" refers to the distribution of color. The more uniform the better. The color can be judged with the help of fluorescent light. The better the jade, the less color will change under the light. For experienced people, it can be viewed directly with the eyes. 3. The influence of “craftsmanship” on jadeite In addition to being affected by the two factors mentioned above, the value of jadeite is also affected by its craftsmanship. It was originally one of the means to enhance the value of jadeite, but due to unskilled craftsmanship, profit-seeking and other reasons, it may also reduce the quality of jadeite. Proper craftsmanship can greatly improve the transparency of jade and weaken its edges, making it more rounded and transparent, and also increasing its beauty. At the same time, jadeite processed through craftsmanship can be given another kind of "life", carrying people's good wishes and adding a cultural heritage. For jade identification, in addition to the above three aspects, you can also observe the structure of jade, such as whether there are cracks on the surface or inside of jade. It can usually be identified by exposing it to sunlight. You can also look at the density of some jadeite. Jadeite with low density may have been obtained through bleaching and filling treatment. Finally, you can also use knocking on the surface of the jade to listen to the sound to defend yourself. What other methods do you know about identifying the quality of jade?
