Let's walk into the colorful world of jadeite and appreciate 10 colors of jadeite

Speaking of jade, the first thing that comes to our mind is green jade. That proud green color and that moist and transparent appearance make many players love it very much. However, in fact, jade has many colors, not only the transparency of jade, but also the warm red and the gentle yellow. Today, let us walk into the colorful world of jade and appreciate 10 colors of jade!

1. Green Jade

Green jade is the most common type of jade and also the most valuable type of jade. Green is also the color called emerald in jade. In the jade family, green jade is also the most classified type. Different types of green have different beauty.

1. Brilliant green

It is the so-called true green color, without any yellowish or bluish tones. It is what we commonly call high green, sunny green or imperial green. This kind of green jade is the most valuable among green jades, and it is very noble and elegant.

2. Apple Green

Apple green, although it does not look much different from bright green to the naked eye, is actually a green with a slightly yellowish tint, giving people a feeling of exuberance, vitality, and life.

3. Green seedlings

Like apple green, seedling green has a yellowish tint, but the yellowish tint is more obvious and can be observed directly with the naked eye. It is a fresh and energetic color.

4. Emerald Green

The base color of emerald green is a dark green, but it does not appear dull because it has some yellowish tones, so it appears pleasing to the eye and full of vitality.

5. Pretty Green

As the name suggests, Qiao Lu has a feeling of pretty color. It is not a very deep green color, and has a feeling of elegance, beauty and generosity.

In fact, green can also be classified according to its different degrees of richness, for example, it can be divided into bright green, sunny green, light sunny green, light water green, etc. However, most of the green colors on the market are classified according to the above-mentioned green colors, so it is enough for everyone to understand the classification according to the degree of richness.

2. Red Jade

In the jade family, there is also red jade, but the quantity is relatively small. Red jade can be divided into two types, one is red jadeite and the other is jadeite red. Although the names of the two colors are just reversed, there are still obvious differences in the colors of the two red jadeite.

Red jadeite is mainly brown with a small amount of red, and is the most common type of red jadeite. Jadeite red is mainly red with only a small amount or no brown. It is considered the most valuable type of red jadeite, but is relatively rare.

Red jade can be divided into bright red, dark red and brown-red based on the intensity of its color. Bright red jade is also called cockscomb red jade, and is the best quality and highest value among red jade. On the other hand, the dark red and brown-red are not as intense and, relatively speaking, their value is not very high.

3. Purple Jade

Purple jade is a type of jade with relatively high craftsmanship value. Most of the purple jade will be carved into various handicrafts, and its economic value is also relatively high. However, good quality purple jade is still relatively rare. The structure of general purple jade is relatively rough, and the distribution of purple is not even. Some purple jade even has a whitish phenomenon, which is commonly known as the powdering phenomenon. The classification of purple jade can be divided into the following types according to different color saturation.

1. Royal Purple

Royal purple is the most intense color among purple jadeite, with a very pure hue and very high saturation, but the height is relatively poor. However, royal purple jadeite is relatively rare after all, so its value is also very high. Currently, royal purple jadeite with high purity may cost hundreds of thousands or even millions.

2. Red and purple

Red purple is a relatively uncommon type of purple jade. The color of red purple is a little bit closer to the hue of red jade. It is not highly saturated and the color is lighter. Its value is relatively lower than royal purple.

3. Blue-purple

As the name suggests, purple jade with a slightly bluish hue is a more common type of purple jade. More players in the circle call blue purple eggplant purple. When the saturation is normal, the appearance is still good, but when the saturation is high, it will be a little gray and the price is medium.

4. Violet

Violet is relatively common in the jade market. It is considered to be the most common type of purple jade in commercial jade. The color ranges from medium purple to light purple. Sometimes, it even appears with green. This is the well-known spring color. Its value is relatively good.

5. Pink and purple

The pink color of pink purple jade is lighter, and has a slightly reddish or bluish tint, so there is an illusion that it is not purple jade. However, in general, pink purple jade has a finer texture and more water. It is also relatively common in commercial jade.

4. Orange Jade

Orange is actually a transitional color of jadeite, which exists in the transition zone between red jadeite and yellow jadeite. The color ranges from dark orange, orange to light orange. The brightness of orange jadeite depends on the water head and texture. The finer the texture and the greater the water head, the brighter the color of the orange jadeite.

5. Yellow Jade

Yellow jade is a secondary impregnated jade, usually appearing in the shallow part under the skin of the original stone. It can be roughly divided into yellow jade and jade yellow. Similar to red jade and jade red, yellow jade has brown as the main color, with a small amount of yellow, while jade yellow has yellow as the main color, with a small amount of brown. It is rare to see yellow jade with its color fully preserved. Yellow jade can also be divided into chestnut yellow, chicken oil yellow and lemon yellow according to different tones.

6. Blue Jade

In fact, there is no blue jade in natural jade. It is just because the color of jade tends to be purple or green, and because this kind of jade itself has low transparency, weak brightness, and a gray tone, it looks very similar to blue. Therefore, it is called strange jade and is rarely seen in the market.

7. Cyan Jadeite

The output of green jade is relatively large, but it is not the mainstream jade, because most green jade has green as the base color, supplemented by other colors to create an atmosphere of beauty. For example, Jiangshui Green refers to a type of jade with green as the base color. The application of green jade is relatively high. For example, Oil Green, Green and Light Green are commonly used to carve into handicrafts.

8. Black Jade

Jadeite also has black color. This kind of black jadeite is fundamentally different from what we call black jadeite. Black jadeite appears black visually because the green color is too rich, but after being illuminated, it will be a rich green. However, black jadeite is actually pure black, and it remains black even after being illuminated.

Black jade can be roughly divided into three types: black stars, black silk and black ribbons. Generally, jade has black dots, which are either called black spots or black nails. The slightly larger ones are what we commonly call "fly shit". If it has good gloss and a shiny effect, it is a black star. If there is a silk-like black line in the jade, it is called a black line. If it is a short and thick black strip distributed in the jade, it is a black belt.

9. White Jade

Gray and white jadeite is considered low-grade jadeite in the jadeite family, but white jadeite also has relatively good quality. For example, if the color is milky white, porcelain white, or mutton fat white, and the transparency is higher and the texture is finer, it still has some value. But if the texture is poor, the gloss is poor, and there are some flaws, then such jadeite really has no collection value at all.

10. Multi-color Jade

Having mentioned so many colors, jade actually exists in many colors. After all, jade is a jade with very rich colors. It is normal for multiple colors to exist on a piece of jade at the same time. However, it is very rare for multiple colors to appear on a piece of jade at the same time, especially the more colors, the rarer they are, and the higher the value.

After seeing so many colors of jade, do you feel that our understanding of jade is too one-sided? In fact, the colors of jade are far more than that. As the saying goes, there are thirty-six waters, seventy-two beans, and one hundred and eight colors. If you introduce all the colors of jade, it will take three days and three nights to finish.
