The full-color imperial green causes controversy? What does imperial green jadeite look like?

Imperial green jadeite , I believe everyone is familiar with this name. The word "emperor" is enough to explain its status among jadeites. So what kind of jadeite can bear the title of imperial green?

Recently, a netizen posted a full-green jade bracelet core on a forum, describing it as "an imperial green full-color bracelet core" and "14 in thickness and 57 in diameter with no lines or cracks. Unfortunately, there is too much cotton, but it is snowflake cotton, and the color can suppress the cotton, so the impact is not too great." While causing a lot of exclamations of "so beautiful", it also sparked heated discussions among everyone.

First, the flaws.

As can be seen from the picture, there are some dense, messy, and irregular white parts inside the core of the bracelet. The owner said it was snowflake cotton, but some people thought it was a crystal structure, which means that the quality of the jade is rough and not fine enough. Even if it is cotton, it doesn't look like snowflake cotton. In your opinion, is it cotton/snowflake cotton or a crystal structure?

Second, transparency.

It is a consensus among everyone that the quality of Imperial Green Jade must reach the glass-type level , which means that the transparency must be very high. Of course, because the color of Imperial Green is too rich, many times Imperial Green Jade does not look as transparent as colorless glass-type jade.

The owner of this jade bracelet also called it glass-type, "you can see the words on it when you put it on paper." But looking at the photos, it is really unconvincing. However, the owner also explained that it is because of the excessive cotton and dark color, so the transparency looks poor and the effect of the real thing is not captured.

Second, the color.

For many people, the most important aspect of imperial green is its color. Simply put, it has to be rich enough . So how rich should it be? Judging from the photos, the color of the bracelet is indeed very green, and the lower part that is not facing the light is so dark that it looks black. So some people said, "If you can only see green when facing the light, you have to embed a circle of LED lights..."

The owner of the goods expressed dissatisfaction, saying that "Imperial Green is so green that it turns black and becomes glassy, ​​which is very rare." He even took out a jade pendant that Ouyang Qiumei sold at an auction price of more than 40 million yuan for comparison, saying that the quality of the jade is better than the one above.

But netizens do not buy it, and believe that the imperial green jadeite amulet in Ouyang Qiumei's hand is better, and is more delicate and pure than the bracelet in terms of quality alone.

As a result, the owner finally had to post a picture of the finished product (below). Do you agree?

After reading this, I believe you have some judgments about the imperial green jadeite. The editor will highlight the key points!

1. Standards and value of imperial green jadeite

Imperial green is the external manifestation of jadeite's extremely fine crystal structure and pure chromium coloring factors . It can be certified by international professional appraisal organizations such as Gübelin and SSEF. One carat is worth more than HK$200,000.

2. The color expression of imperial green jadeite

The color of Imperial Green is very pure and deep , more intense than Zhengyang Green. It is also described as beer bottle green . This is because its coloring factors are basically chromium . It should be said that Imperial Green has no yellow taste. The presence of yellow taste indicates the presence of other coloring factors such as iron.

Some people think that the color of Imperial Green is too dark and too rich, which makes it look old-fashioned and not as beautiful as Yang Green and Spicy Green. Others think that Yang Green is beautiful but ostentatious, while the low-key and luxurious Imperial Green is more suitable for people with introverted personalities or those of a certain age and experience. So whether the color of Imperial Green is good-looking or not is actually a matter of personal opinion.

3. The quality of imperial green jadeite

Imperial green jadeite not only has requirements on color, but also includes comprehensive indicators such as quality and water content . Its structure is described as "extremely fine crystal particles arranged closely" . Simply put, unless it is glass-type, any color is not imperial green . At most, it can only be called imperial color far-fetchedly, because there is no such category as imperial green in the green color of jadeite.

In other words, Imperial Green Jade is top-quality water + top-quality green . If it is just beer bottle green, the quality is not good enough and the water is not long, it is just old oily green, not Imperial Green.

Of course, in reality, since imperial green jade is very rare and it is difficult for the naked eye to distinguish the subtle differences in jade species and color, in order to avoid misleading, some jade that is close to imperial green is generally also called "high color" and "high quality" .
