​How should we choose violet jadeite which easily “dies in the light”?

Violet jade can be said to be the most romantic of all jade categories!

Its unique purple hue exudes an elegant and timeless elegance, winning the love of many jade lovers.

However, despite its beauty, violets have a fatal flaw - they die in the light!

The so-called "death in the light" means that once violets are exposed to natural light , their rich and bright colors will instantly become dim or even disappear!

As a result, jade lovers have many concerns when purchasing violet jade, fearing that they will buy violet jade that will fade in the light.

Therefore, today's article will specifically talk about "How to choose jadeite that is easily damaged by light?"

First of all, are all violets that die in the light worthless?

Many friends believe that the reason why violet jade “dies in the light” is because of its poor quality!

But that’s not actually the case!

Like the huge violet egg-shaped noodle above, it is the famous "Zhaoyi Star", with an estimated value of up to 600 million!

The water is transparent and delicate. Under the indoor light, it is magnificent and fascinating!

But once the light is lost, it becomes "unrecognizable" and its previous beauty is completely gone.

From this we can see that “dying in light” has no direct correlation with the quality of violet jadeite!

It’s about the color itself!

If jade lovers want to choose violet jade that is not easily "dead in the light", it is best to focus on the "color" and slightly ignore the "type".

After all, violet jade is famous for being “nine out of ten are wood”, and its quality is generally average.

If you want violets that grow well and have good colors, you need to have the budget in place.

In terms of color, jade lovers can focus on violets that are bluish purple and eggplant purple.

This shade of violet jade has a high saturation. Instead of becoming duller, its color will become more intense under natural light!

Naturally, it is not easy for the phenomenon of "dying in the light" to occur.

At the same time, it should be noted that violet jade of this tone tends to have a rougher texture and a more obvious crystal feel.

The color of violet jadeite with good water quality will be lighter and more pink in color.

Jade lovers can make targeted selections based on their budget and preferences.
