What’s the difference between jadeite? They are all mined from mines, so why are their values ​​different?

Many people who buy jade for the first time may often be unable to tell the difference between the two. To put it simply, I don't know which one is more valuable, jadeite or jade. In fact, considering the value alone does not mean that one can compare the two. Because jadeite is actually a type of jade, overall the value of jadeite is higher , but there are also many high-quality jades that are very valuable. What is Jade

Jadeite is jadeite that is produced in Myanmar. It is also often called the " King of Jade ". Nephrite is a natural jade with a lower hardness than jadeite. The natural jade produced in China is basically nephrite, the most representative of which is Hetian jade. The gorgeous appearance and delicate feel give Hetian jade a good investment and collection value.

What is Jade

For a long time, the concepts of jadeite and jade have been confused by people, as if any good jade must be jadeite . It is true that jadeite is jade, but jade is not necessarily jadeite. Jadeite has only been introduced into my country from Myanmar for one or two hundred years, and its cultural heritage is much inferior to that of Hetian jade.

The concept of jade is very broad, such as agate, water bubble, tianyu, jade and so on. Jade and jadeite have both high and low prices. It is not possible to make a general statement about the superiority or inferiority. Jade has a history of 8,000 years in China and has a rich cultural heritage. Ancient books record that jade has five virtues : benevolence, righteousness, wisdom, courage and purity . This is also the reason why people say that a modest gentleman is as gentle as jade.

What is the difference between jadeite and jade

Appearance

This is the most intuitive difference between the two. Hetian jade has a warm and smooth appearance, oily and simple . Jade is usually translucent. If Hetian jade is a Confucian scholar , then jadeite is like a great general who has fought on the battlefield for a long time .

Color and space for appreciation

The most common color of jade is white . It gives people a clean and comfortable feeling when appreciating it. The most common type of jade is green jade, which is deep and mysterious.

The difference in collection prices

Jadeite is the most expensive of all jades. Sometimes a bracelet made entirely of glass green can even be auctioned for nearly 10 million yuan . High-quality Hetian jade can only be compared with mid-to-upper-range jadeite. For example, a Hetian jade bracelet that reaches the level of mutton-fat jade can be traded for around one million . The value difference is nearly 10 times . Essential differences in physical properties

As mentioned earlier, jadeite is hard jade and other jades are soft jade . The difference of this one word brings about an essential difference in the shapes of the crystal particles of the two. The mineral crystal particles of nephrite are like white sugar , but those of jadeite are columnar or fibrous . Jadeite has unique jadeite properties while nephrite does not, so it is easy to tell whether it is jadeite or nephrite from the reflective surface or through light. Which one is more valuable, jadeite or jade?

There is no comparability between jadeite and jade. Jadeite is also a type of jade. The two cannot be directly compared, but the overall value of jadeite is higher than that of jade. Overall, jadeite is the most expensive of all jades , and the second most expensive is Hetian jade . They are of different types, each with its own advantages, and there is no comparability. It mainly depends on personal preference.

Among all types of jade, it is possible that the price of a certain type of low-grade jade is higher than that of other types of high-grade jade. Therefore, the real price needs to be compared with the specific object in order to obtain an accurate comparison.
