Experts teach you step by step, how to distinguish between A, B and C grade jadeite?

Walking in Sihui, the capital of jade, you will see jade markets selling jade like cabbage, and you will also see jade expo cities that are as grand as museums. The most impressive thing is that every jade market repeats two huge words in various forms - "A-grade".

Today, we will explain to you what A-grade products specifically refer to. What is the difference between A, B and C jadeite?

A-grade jadeite

In the industry, jadeite is divided into A grade, B grade, and C grade. Simply put, A-grade jade is pure natural jade that has not undergone any artificial chemical treatment. B-grade and C-grade jade are jades that have undergone artificial chemical treatment.

Gold has a price, jade is priceless, and jadeite is the king of jade. Even in Sihui, the largest jade distribution center in the country, the truly fine jade is one in a hundred.

The "type, color, water, and ground" of a piece of jade will directly affect the price of jade. Therefore, some merchants want to use artificial intervention to chemically treat the jade to make the jade look better and more colorful.

B-grade jadeite

Jade is a natural mineral, which often contains many impurities and black spots, or has lines and cracks. The jadeite we usually see in the market is already a finished product after careful selection.

B-grade jade is mainly low-quality jade with impurities inside. Some merchants will acid-etch and rinse it to remove the internal impurities, and then inject glue to fill it to make the original low-quality jade look better.

Even though B-grade jade looks beautiful on the surface, its internal structure has been destroyed after acid etching. If worn for a long time, the jade will easily change color and break.

C grade jadeite

As for C-grade jadeite, it is jadeite that has been artificially dyed and changed in color. C-grade jadeite is made based on B-grade jadeite, and the dyeing needs to be done along the acid-etched gaps.

Natural jade has color roots, and the color is elegant and vivid with a sense of layering; artificially dyed C goods, even if dyed with a rich green color, will still appear very stiff and lack vitality.

To sum up, the so-called ABC goods of jadeite is actually a term to distinguish natural jadeite from artificially treated jadeite.

If you are not familiar with jade, it is not recommended that you go to those mixed jade markets alone.

If you want to avoid pitfalls effectively, it is recommended to purchase from a powerful jade platform first, which has certificates, appreciation periods, and after-sales service, so that you have no worries.
