What does the violet jadeite that can be sold for tens of millions of dollars look like?

It is well known that green is the most respected color in the jade world. Looking at those jades worth hundreds of millions, almost all of them are made of a touch of green. But we must not overlook another type of jade with beautiful color beneath the green color, the violet jade that has also been auctioned off for sky-high prices!

Without further ado, let’s take a look at the pictures!

Why is violet jade so valuable?

It is said that red, green and purple jade are the most valuable. The value of truly high-quality purple jade is no less than that of green jade.

There is a saying in the jade industry that "nine out of ten purples are coarse". Most jades with noble purple are coarse in texture, so encountering delicate violet is not a question of high value but opportunity! After all, good color and water quality are one less piece when you buy one, and the depletion of resources means that its value will never drop.
