The auspicious jadeite of Fu Lu Shou Xi - do you know the origin of its name?

We all know that jade has many colors, but the common jade on the market is generally single-color, mixed with some cotton or cracks. Occasionally there are two-color ones. The two-color jade combinations we often see are white and green, yellow and red, purple and green, etc. However, it is rare to have three or more types of jade in the same piece of jade. Our protagonist today, the Fu Lu Shou Xi Jade, is a jade that has four colors at the same time. But I guess you have guessed it. Jade with three colors is called Fu Lu Shou, and jade with five colors is called Fu Lu Shou Xi Cai Jade. That’s right, in fact, they are all named according to their colors, and they are hard to come by because multi-colored jade is very rare among jades.

The colors that make up these lucky, green, longevity and happiness jades are generally red, yellow, green, purple and white. Any combination of these colors can result in lucky, wealth, longevity and happiness. The five-color Fu Lu Shou Xi Cai is probably the type of jade with the most colors discovered so far. It can be said to be a legendary jade that is rarely seen in normal times. The four-color Fu Lu Shou Xi is also very rare.

As for the origins of the names of Fu Lu Shou Xi Cai, in fact, they are named according to the corresponding colors. Red represents blessing, namely "Fu"; green represents money, namely "Lu"; white represents longevity, namely "Shou"; purple represents joy, namely "Xi"; yellow represents wealth, namely "Cai". Three colors mean three sheep bringing good luck, four colors mean four seasons of peace, and five colors mean five blessings, all of which have very good meanings. Therefore, as a jadeite with beautiful meanings, it is actually a very good choice to give it to elders, friends, or buy it for investment and collection.

If an ordinary jade bracelet with three colors is a top-quality product, and if the three colors are distributed extremely evenly, then this jade bracelet is the best of the best. Generally speaking, once a color block appears on jade, its price will increase a hundredfold. But among these multi-colored jadeites, it is generally believed that there is jadeite without emerald, or emerald without jadeite. So if both the colors "jade" and "emerald" appear at the same time, it is quite rare. If purple or white is added, it is extremely rare. If you have it, congratulations, you are super lucky. Therefore, the value of Fu Lu Shou Xi jadeite lies in its “strangeness”; the brighter the color and the better the coordination, the higher the price. More importantly, if it is of good quality and brightly colored, it will definitely be a rare collectible.

So why is Fu Lu Shou jade so rare? First of all, it is naturally because the colors of Fu Lu Shou jade are rich. The same piece of jade can have three or four different colors at the same time. The color contrast is strong and it is rare, so it is naturally worth collecting. Then the Fu Lu Shou jade is very malleable. Because of its unique color, it is more expressive when carved than single-color or two-color jade. As long as the design is clever and the carving is exquisite, it can become a fine work of art. However, even if the Fu Lu Shou Xi jadeite is not subjected to complicated carving, and is simply made into plain bracelets, it is still very pretty and pleasing.

Therefore, we should be able to see that the price of Fu Lu Shou jade is actually generally not low. Scarcity makes things valuable. This is naturally the market for jade players and investment and collection experts.
