The blue water jade we often talk about is usually a uniform blue-gray color, old and fine in texture, full of moisture and translucent.

It is a relatively rare species on the market and can be considered a rising star in the jade world.

The name of blue water jade does not simply refer to its color. It requires that the jade should be of old origin, fine texture, good water head, high transparency and blue color, so it can be called "blue water".

The best color for blue water jadeite is pure blue. The quality of blue water jadeite that is green or gray is lower.

Most blue waters have varying degrees of gray or green tinge, making the color less earthy.

Glass-type blue water jadeite is extremely rare, hard to come by, and priceless. It is one of the favorites of various wealthy collectors.

Blue water jadeite of general quality and color can be processed into pendant ornaments. Small blue water jadeite with good quality and pure color can be processed into jade ring faces.

The price of blue water jadeite with good quality and color is very different from that of blue water jadeite with poor quality and color.
