Why is it said that violet jade is a jade that “dies in the light”?

Violet jade is a purple jade with a color like violet flowers. It is a special variety of jade. The jewelry industry calls violet "Chun" or "Spring Color". The purple color of this kind of jade is generally lighter. "Spring Color" can be divided into three grades according to its color: high, medium and low. They are divided into red spring, purple spring and blue spring. Red spring is more valuable, and purple spring is slightly lower. If you get the blue spring of the strange pile (blue jade), the price change will be more elastic. Although it is not the best, it is a variety that jade collectors are willing to collect. Therefore, it is not necessarily the case that all violets are valuable or top quality. They must also be comprehensively evaluated based on quality indicators such as texture, transparency, and craftsmanship.

Nature is truly amazing. The impact of light on vision can be said to be very powerful. When light of different colors and widths is intertwined with other colors, a wonderful difference in feeling will emerge. Especially for jewelry, if the light in the booth is not pure enough, the appearance of the jewelry will probably be greatly affected. Today, Yumu Fangfang Jade will talk to you about why people in the industry say that violet jade will die in the light?

The phenomenon of violet jadeite "dying in the light" is a good example. Among jade lovers, there is a saying that violet jadeite "dies in the light". Generally, when we appreciate jadeite at the counter, it is not difficult to find that the light source in the display cabinet is mostly soft yellowish. This is because of the purple characteristics of violet jadeite, which requires contrasting colors to bring out its true appearance.

"Dead in light" refers to the dispersion of purple color, which causes the color to fade, become lighter and whiter under natural light. In fact, it is because violet jade is generally water-proof and non-transparent, so the cotton wool inside appears white under the sunlight. Because of the transparency of the jade material itself, in fact, many colors of jade can be very different under different lighting conditions.

When light enters the violet jade under natural light, due to the crystal structure characteristics of the jade itself, the tubes naturally spread out inside the jade, and then we find that the color of the violet jade in our hands has changed, becoming lighter and lighter. This is why, when taking photos, violet jade is often used as black, and backlit shooting techniques are often used. The yellow light in the display cabinet takes advantage of the yellow's contrasting effect on the purple, making the purple more visually noticeable.

Among them, the color that is most easily over- or under-appreciated due to the ambient light is purple, but not all violets will die in the light. If the jade can maintain a rich purple color under natural light, it is most likely a glutinous jade. The glutinous texture allows light to stay easily. If the jade has good quality and water and still appears rich purple and full of fluorescence under natural light, then its value is naturally very high! This is what we often call the violet jadeite that “does not fade when exposed to light”. So people always ask, is violet jade good? Fang Fang Jade is here to tell you that violet jade is a precious species that combines beauty and value. After seeing a lot of green jade, you will feel refreshed when you look at violet jade. Among the jadeite available on the market now, there are those that are a blend of purple and green jadeite, which is often called spring-colored jadeite. The price of this two-color jadeite is no less than that of pure violet jadeite. It is very rare and has a high collection value. In fact, the key to choosing a good jade is to see whether it is suitable for you. The price is not the only factor in determining its quality. As long as you like it and it is suitable for you, it is the best.
