Jade appreciation often falls into seven misunderstandings, and insiders are confused

The traces of time left on jade cannot erase people's love for jade. However, loving jade does not mean understanding jade.

Experts say that currently most people have many misunderstandings in jade appreciation. Only by getting rid of these misunderstandings can we better appreciate the beauty of jade. Now let’s take a look at the seven common misunderstandings in the process of jade appreciation.

1. The more uniform the green, the better

In the market, you can often see some jadeite that is emerald green all over, with bright color and very even distribution. In fact, most of such jadeite is fake.

Only B-grade products have such uniform color

The interior of jade is composed of a collection of granular minerals, so its green color is locally distributed, and there is a boundary between green and non-green.

The green color formed by natural jade is not so uniform, but it is very natural.

2. Paper-based identification technology

Jade optimization processing technology is changing with each passing day, but the knowledge in books is often lagging behind. If you buy B-grade or fake jade according to the identification methods in the book, it may be because the market has invented a new processing technology that has not yet been summarized and published in a book.

3. The ones that do not change color are A-grade goods

Some dyed jade can maintain its bright color for up to 10 to 20 years, while some A-grade jadeite red or jadeite yellow may change color in a relatively short period of time, mainly due to changes in the chemical elements inside the jade.

Although young jade is A-grade jade, it is easy to mutate. Its structure is loose and the liquid adsorbent between the crystal gaps is easy to evaporate, causing it to lose its "water head" and become "dry". On the other hand, old jade bracelets have high density, full water head, strong wear resistance and good durability, and are generally not easy to mutate.

4. Green Jade is Good

Emerald green jade is the best quality among A-grade jade, but not all jade is green. There is a kind of jade that forms a bright "jade" color due to the infiltration of iron. Such jade is also very popular in the market if it has high transparency and good texture.

When buying jade, don’t just pursue green. Jade has many kinds of green, not to mention that jade has many colors!
