When choosing jadeite, is it better to be as transparent as possible or as green as possible? This article tells you

I would like to ask everyone a question. When you choose jadeite, do you focus on the quality of the jadeite or the color? There is a saying that goes "laymen look at the color, experts look at the type". Is this really true?

In most cases, it is difficult for jade to have both good quality and color. Jade with excellent quality and color must be valuable, but such jade resources are scarce and we rarely encounter them. So when buying jade, is the more transparent the better, or the greener the better?

Before choosing, we should first understand the type and color of jade. Jade has a polycrystalline interwoven structure. The coarseness of the jadeite particles and the tightness of the arrangement of the internal crystal particles determine the type of jadeite.

Jade can be divided into glass, ice, glutinous and bean types according to its grade. In addition, there are other types of jade such as hibiscus, oily green, dry green, gold wire, etc., about 20 kinds in total.

The colors of jade are rich and varied. Under different color-causing factors, the colors of jade are roughly white, green, purple, black, yellow, red and multi-colored jade. The color of jade makes it look more brilliant and dazzling.

If the texture of jade gives it a good foundation, then its color makes it even more dazzling. It's like a beautiful woman with a high appearance value. She is beautiful and generous without makeup, and she is naturally beautiful. But after putting on makeup, under the effect of makeup, the beauty's appearance is even more stunning.

Therefore, it is actually very difficult to decide whether it is better to choose jadeite with transparent water quality or jadeite with bright colors. Perhaps you will say, "Experts look at the quality, while laymen look at the color." Of course, the quality of jade is important, and the more transparent the jade is, the better. However, there is also a saying that "a one-point difference in color means a doubled price," which shows that color and quality are as important. It is difficult to choose between quality and color, so how should you choose?

Personally, I think the most important thing in choosing jade is visual appeal. If one piece of jade is bright green but the water quality is a little poor, while another piece of jade is moist and transparent but the color is a little worse, then you should ask yourself which one you like more.

Of course, when buying jade, one should not only consider the quality and color of the jade, but also the craftsmanship of the jade. Sometimes a good jade is not as good as a good craftsman. Superb carving can "turn decay into magic" and make the jade full of spirituality. The price of such jade will naturally not be low. If this jade work is from the hands of a famous artist, the price will naturally soar.

Therefore, as to the question of whether the more transparent the jade is, the better, or the greener the jade is, the answer varies from person to person, and everyone has his or her own answer in his or her heart.
