​Jade not only has imperial green, but also imperial purple! How many people have seen it?

As we all know, Imperial Green is the jade variety with the best appearance and highest value, and it can be called the king of the jade world!

It is also the finale exhibit at major jewelry auctions, and the transaction price is generally high, hundreds of thousands of yuan or even thousands of yuan are common.

But in fact, there is also "Imperial Purple" in the jade world, but its popularity is slightly less than that of Imperial Green.

So what is Imperial Spring?

In jade terminology, spring is purple.

Its charming purple color resembles the color of violet flowers, hence the name violet jade. It has a romantic atmosphere and is loved by many female jade lovers.

In addition, the collection value of top-grade violet jadeite is not inferior to that of green jadeite, and it is the object of competition among many jewelry collectors!

Based on the differences in hue, chroma and brightness, violet jade can also be subdivided into pink purple, violet, blue purple, red purple and imperial purple.

It can be said that the color tone of violet jadeite covers the three dimensions of blue purple, purple, and red purple. The closer it is to pure purple, the more expensive it is relatively.

Among them, Imperial Purple has the highest market value and is the rarest!

However, many friends may not have a specific idea of ​​how rare Imperial Purple is.

First of all, there is a saying in the jade industry that "nine out of ten are wood", which means that at least nine out of ten pieces of violet jade are rough and have low transparency!

The violet pendant above is a typical example of “Nine out of ten spring elements are wood”.

Obvious granularity can be seen with the naked eye, and the transparency is extremely low. The tone is light pink and purple. It belongs to the category of low-grade jadeite, and its market value is approximately thousands of yuan.

Violet of this quality happens to be the most abundant in the jade market!

Jadeite that can be called imperial purple must meet the following two conditions:

First, the color must be pure, not biased, and rich; second, the water must be delicate and transparent!

It is not an easy task to satisfy these two conditions at the same time!

First of all, the better the quality of the violet jade, the lighter the color is generally!

For example, the famous Zhaoyi Star is famous for its good water quality, which is a rare ice-type texture!

However, too good a quality of water will dilute the color tone, so the color tone of Zhaoyi Star is more pink-purple and cannot be considered rich.

Although the color is still a little short of the imperial purple, this does not actually affect the rarity of the Zhaoyi Star!

After all, it is the world's largest top-grade ice-type violet egg-shaped gem, with an estimated value of up to 600 million!

The color of the violet jade bracelet above is infinitely close to imperial purple and very eye-catching!

On the other hand, its water quality is obviously not as good as that of Zhaoyi Star, and its transparency is much worse.

But it still sold for a high price of 10.35 million!

From this we can see that violet jadeite with rich color and good texture is also rare!
