Can’t understand the color of jade? Ten words to teach you how to identify the most collectible green jadeite

Golden green, yellow sun green, spinach green, apple green, do you know any other words that describe the green of jadeite? Many people say that the water content of jade is very deep. Not only is it difficult to understand the water quality, but the colors are also varied, and the various names make people dizzy. Today, Teacher Zhang Yang will teach you ten words so that you can know the green color of jade well from now on!

These ten words are "Nong Yang Qiao Zheng He, Dan Yin Lao Xie Hua", which are five corresponding groups of adjectives. These words are simple to say but a bit difficult to understand. Don't worry, Teacher Zhang Yang has collected very detailed pictures to help you understand. You can also collect them for reference when purchasing jadeite.

1. Thick and thin

"Thick" and "light" are descriptions of the saturation of colors, and can also be understood as "purity". "Thick" green refers to a rich, full, and heavy green, while the opposite is "light", which means the green is pale, low in saturation, and has no strength. The value of thick green is relatively high.

2. Yang and Yin

"Yang" and "Yin" mainly refer to the brightness of colors. "Yang" refers to the bright and lively green, like a teenager in the sun with a bright sense of light. "Yin" refers to the gray and dull green, just like a cloudy day gives people a dull and depressing feeling. Even if the yang green is lighter, it still feels lively and cute, and therefore has a higher value.

Three: Pretty and Old

"Pretty" refers to young and beautiful, which means that the green gives people a feeling of vitality and youthful beauty. "Old" refers to a darker tone or with mottled colors, like age spots in old age, which is not comfortable to look at. Therefore, pretty green jadeite is naturally more popular in the market.

Four: Good and Evil

"Positive" refers to the unbiased color tone, pure and bright. On the contrary, if the green contains tones of yellow, cyan, blue, gray, and black, the color will be "evil" and the value of the jade will be significantly reduced, but the degree varies slightly. Jade that is yellowish or bluish is still of value, but jade that is grayish or black is not worth collecting.

Five: Harmony and Flowers

"He" means that the green is evenly distributed without obvious difference in light or dark, and "Hua" means that the green appears in flakes, strips, blocks, etc., which is commonly referred to as "piao cui". The value of green with even color distribution is higher.

So what is the green jadeite worth collecting? The answer lies in these ten words. Top-grade jadeite must meet the five characteristics of "rich, sunny, pretty, and harmonious". Such jadeite is more common in auctions and its price may range from hundreds of thousands to millions or even higher. For ordinary people collecting green jadeite, it is quite good if it can meet two or three fifths of these characteristics. Such jadeite generally costs tens of thousands to more than one hundred thousand.
