Not all jade is green. When choosing full green jade, be careful not to choose these three types

Jade comes in a variety of colors, not just green, but also purple, red, yellow, blue, pink, colorless and so on. Many jade lovers only focus on the green color when choosing jade and ignore the texture of jade. In fact, jade with good texture is precious. So there is a saying: "Laymen look at the color, experts look at the quality."

Color of Emerald

We can feel the color of jade with our naked eyes. Jade in the Qing Dynasty also paid more attention to color, especially green. Therefore, many of the jade we see in museums are mainly green, which also leads to our impression that jade should be green. However, this is a wrong understanding, because the greener the jade is, the more valuable it is. It still needs to be judged comprehensively.

The texture of jade

This is a problem that many jade lovers tend to overlook. The quality of jade is mainly determined by its structure, transparency and the amount of impurities it contains.

The best texture is definitely very tight, and you will feel a chill when you see the jade. This is what the industry calls "hardness". Usually only jade that reaches glass grade or above will have this texture. Such jade is also rare. If it has a little color, then it is a valuable fine product.

If you only care about whether the jade is full green, then you need to be careful when choosing the following three types of jade:

Flower green jadeite

Jade with irregular color distribution. The "flowers" are the "floating flowers" and the "green" is the color. The irregular green color growing everywhere in the jade, some are yellowish, blue or even blackish green... We call them "flower green jade". Such jade looks full green as a whole.

Dry green jadeite

Its characteristics are poor water head, it looks very dry, has low transparency and a rough texture. The colors are very intense, especially the full green. Ganqing jade generally contains black impurities, some of which are black spots and black lumps. It will be used to be beaten into thin slices to make inlaid jewelry. Don't underestimate this kind of jade, because it is full of green and is sought after, and the price is not low.

Tielongsheng Jade

This is also a new variety, which was only discovered in the 1990s. It means "full green stone" in Burmese. Tielongsheng is bright green and can be made into full green jewelry, but due to its poor overall transparency and rough texture, it can only be regarded as ordinary jadeite. Tielongsheng jade is also divided into different grades. High-end Tielongsheng jade is also expensive because of its full green appearance, and it is mainly loved by people who like full green.

If jade is only green but its texture is not fine enough, then it lacks the spirituality of jade. In comparison, jade with a transparent and watery texture is more popular among insiders. Therefore, when choosing jade, you don’t have to pursue full green. It is more important to choose jade with good texture, which is the soul of jade.

Jade has the most color variations among all gemstones and comes in many varieties. As a layman, when choosing jade, you must not be greedy for color. Look at the jade from the texture and then pursue the color. This is the correct way to buy jade.
