When purchasing jadeite, how should we choose between “fish” and “bear’s paw”?

1. “One point color, ten points price”

The "color" of jade is a masterpiece of the natural environment. It is rare, precious and hard to see. Especially those containing two or more colors, such as spring-colored, yellow and green jade, are very valuable! At the same time, "color" is one of the most intuitive reflections of the surface of jade. There are many types, and each one is unique. When choosing the "color" of jade, in addition to judging whether the color is rich, pure, bright, and uniform, you must also look at the extension range of the color and the transition level. If the color is less or lighter, the price may be a thousand miles apart. Especially in recent years, due to the scarcity of jade color materials, there are very few jade products on the market that are both green and watery, and those that do appear are priced sky-high. Therefore, color materials are rare and need to be cherished by all jade lovers.

2. “Experts look at the species, laymen look at the color”

If you don’t understand the properties and value of jadeite, you can focus on its “color”. If the color is uniform, bright, without any color cast or variegation, then with such pure color, the value of this jadeite is very high! Secondly, if you have a certain knowledge and insights about jade, that is, the so-called insider, you can observe its "water head". It has few internal impurities, good degree of crystallization, high density, and it shines under natural light, which proves that it has good water head. Good water head means high transparency! If it has a bit of color at this time, it is generally worth a lot of money.

So we often say "a one point difference in color means a tenfold difference in price", and it's not without reason. Of course, we cannot deny the importance of quality. What we need to consider is to try to choose jade with color based on the quality. After all, color materials are becoming increasingly scarce.
