Are yellow jade and red jade valuable? Is it of high collection value?

Many jade collectors have always been blindly pursuing green as the most important color. The idea that “green is the only price” has led to the misconception that green is good. Many jade lovers don’t even know that jade also comes in red and yellow. As market resources continue to dry up and people's tastes continue to improve, yellow jade and red jade are slowly becoming the objects of everyone's pursuit, and their prices are rising year by year. Next, let’s take a closer look!

Yellow is a relatively common variety of jade. The appearance of yellow jade is yellow or brownish yellow. The color, shape and texture of yellow jade are similar to those of red jade. The yellow color can also be added on top of the red or brownish red, especially on the skin of jade. The color changes from flesh to yellow fog and red fog can be seen in sequence, which can reflect the weathering process of the jadeite raw stone.

The vast majority of yellow jade is formed under the effect of later transformation, so the texture of yellow jade is basically loose and the transparency cannot be very high. Most of the yellow jade is blurry and unclear, often with a little grayish brown color, not bright enough and not transparent enough. Yellow jadeite is often heated to create red jadeite with a deep red or bright red hue.

Yellow jadeite of high quality is extremely rare. It is orange or honey-colored, crystal clear, and brightly and evenly colored. It is called "golden jadeite" in the jewelry industry. It is the best quality yellow jadeite and is relatively rare. Since a large part of good yellow jade is the outer skin of jade water stone, which is very thin, the output is relatively low.

Red jadeite contains a high content of trace element iron, and is also called red jadeite. It is mainly brown in tone. Jadeite with a reddish brown is called "red jadeite", and jadeite with a mainly red in tone and a brownish red is called "jade red".

Natural red jadeite with good quality and good color is rare and can only be found by chance. The best red is called "Cockscomb Red". The red is bright and vivid, and the jade is delicate and transparent. It is the best quality red jadeite.

Red and yellow jadeite usually has a drier base, and because the color is formed later, it is usually thinner. Because red and yellow jade are the main materials chosen by craftsmen for making fine products, it is very rare to find red or yellow jade with a delicate and icy texture and a certain thickness. If the raw material is thick enough to make bracelets, it is even more rare.

To sum up, yellow jadeite is ranked above red jadeite, and the two are coexistent, with the only difference in color caused by the secondary mineral content and the way they are formed. High-quality yellow jade and red jade are both very valuable for collection, so jade lovers don’t have to stick to green jade when choosing to buy jade!
