What is the real blue water jade?

Blue water jade is a relatively rare variety of jade. “Blue Water” jade, as the name suggests, contains two meanings of “blue” and “water”.

"Blue" is mainly defined by the color of jadeite. The color of blue water jadeite generally has a blue tone, which is a light green-blue and is very evenly distributed; although the color may vary in shades, the transition between shades is even and soft, and the color roots are almost invisible.

Blue water jade can be divided into light blue water, light blue water and light blue water according to the intensity of its color. However, it is worth noting that among jades, there is almost no pure blue jade, which is crucial in the purchase of blue water jade.

"Water" is mainly defined based on the water head of jadeite. Blue water jade generally has good water content and high transparency. It gives people a sense of moisturizing, clarity, brightness and tranquility.

To sum up the above: Blue water jade has very high requirements on color and water content. It requires both beautiful green and blue color and very good water content. Both are indispensable. The most important thing is that the color and water content must be perfectly integrated into a piece of jade, only then can it be called blue water. It can be seen that a fine piece of blue water jadeite is so rare.

Where does the value of blue water jadeite lie?

1

Rarity of the material

Blue water jade often contains more iron. Because of the addition of iron, the final color tends to be gray or black in tone. Therefore, blue water jade with pure color and beautiful hue is very rare to form. Therefore, its value is also one of the higher ones among jades, and it has unique purchasing and collection potential.

In addition, blue water jade has very high requirements for water head. Among jadeite, eighty to ninety percent have poor water content, and only a small portion have good water content. From this point of view, the rarity of blue water jadeite is self-evident, and it also has a high purchase and collection value.

High ornamental value

The ornamental value of blue water jade lies in the perfect combination of color and water head. Its natural green and blue color, no matter its shade or depth, is always so soft and evenly distributed that the color roots are almost invisible. Among jades, only three types, namely blue water, clear water and green water, have this characteristic, which are extremely rare. There is no better word to describe this near-perfect composition than natural pride.

Unique cultural implications

The unique blue color and texture of blue water jade are elegant and low-key, giving the wearer a psychological effect of clarity, calmness, rationality, tranquility and indifference. It is also a rare variety of jade.
