Will jade change color? How does jade appear under different lighting?

We love jade because of its bright colors and crystal clearness. However, some people have discovered that some jades appear differently under different light. Will jade change color? How does it behave in different lighting conditions? The color changing effect will be more obvious in the following types of jade.

Violet Jade

Violet jade is particularly sensitive to light. Violet jade has the disadvantage of dying in the light. Violet jade will produce different purple colors under different light sources. Common violet jade is mainly red purple, pink, and blue purple. For example, violet jade will appear pink-purple under yellow light and bluish-purple under white light. The whiter the light, the bluer and grayer the color.

Under natural light, there are still some violet jades that can maintain their fullness, namely the glutinous violet jade and imperial purple jade. The texture of the glutinous violet jade makes it easier for light to stay. Imperial purple jade has very good water quality. It can still maintain its rich purple color and abundant luster under natural light. Its value is naturally very high!

Qingshui Jade

"Qingshui Green" refers to the light and uniform green color that appears throughout the jade product. This light green color of Qingshui jade is more obvious under the light, and is evenly light, but under strong light or natural light, it will be much lighter, and some will almost become colorless.

Bean-type jadeite

Because the crystal grains of bean-type jadeite are relatively coarse, when observed under natural light, the green color is unevenly distributed, appearing in dots or clumps, the white cotton wool is also prominent, and the granular feel is quite obvious. But when it is under soft light, the green color will appear brighter and more uniform, the cotton wool will not be prominent, and the graininess will not be so obvious.

Therefore, when purchasing, it is best to carefully observe the color of the jade under natural light. The color under natural light is closest to the original color of jadeite.
