Can’t tell the difference between Huaqing, Ganqing and Youqing? The secret lies in three words

Every circle has its own unique jargon.

The same is true for the jade industry, such as "water quality" and "water head" and so on.

Some are easy to understand, while others are not.

Today, I will tell you about it.

People often ask about the "Three Greens".

What does it mean exactly?

Three green: dry green, flower green and oil green

Dry green,

The characteristic lies in the word "do" .

The bottom is dry and has no water head, poor transparency, and light cannot penetrate

The particles are coarse and visible to the naked eye

But the color is pure green, pleasing to the eye

△Dry green jadeite

Ganqing is also often called Tielongsheng.

In fact, strictly speaking,

The main component of Ganqing is sodium chrome pyroxene, not jadeite.

So it does not belong to the category of real jadeite, but Tielongsheng is.

The difference between the two lies in the internal chromium ion content

The higher the chromium ion content in jadeite, the greener the color.

When it reaches a certain level, it will evolve into sodium chrome pyroxene.

However, it is difficult to distinguish the two simply from their appearance.

△Dry green jadeite

Ganqing is generally a low- to medium-grade jadeite.

Most of them are processed into pendants.

But it should be noted that

In order to reduce the color concentration and improve the water quality,

The finished product of dry green is usually made very thin.

At the same time, the back cover is used to prevent cracking.

Therefore, for this kind of dry green jadeite, it is recommended that you buy it with caution.

Cyanine,

The characteristic lies in the word "flower" .

The base is blue, and the color is sometimes darker and sometimes lighter, sometimes dense and sometimes sparse.

Appears in the form of threads, veins, lumps and irregular shapes

The color is chaotic and colorful, so it is called Huaqing

△Flower green jadeite

Huaqing's water quality is average.

Generally opaque to slightly transparent.

The crystal grains of bean flower green seeds are also relatively rough.

So it is usually processed into pendants, ornaments, etc.

However, a few of them are bright green and slightly transparent.

It can also be used to make bracelets, which is considered mid-range jadeite.

The rest are low-end to mid-range

△Flower green jadeite

In addition, anthocyanin can be further subdivided into

Bean flower green type (the base is bean color and the structure is coarse),

Ordinary anthocyanin species (green irregular or floating flowers),

Horse tooth blue type (horse tooth type as base),

Oil-based anthocyanin (oil-based, with green floating on the surface), etc.

——————————————

Oil green,

The characteristic lies in the word "oil" .

The color is dark green and impure, mixed with gray-blue.

High transparency, and the structure is more delicate than the previous two

The surface has a distinct greasy sheen, as if it had been soaked in oil.

▲Oil-green jadeite

The Youqing clan is a large family.

From the price point of view, it can be divided into three levels

The low-end ones are the most common soybean oil green

The characteristics are poor head and large crystal particles.

The color is almost all gray or gray-black.

Very rigid and dull, and the workmanship is often average.

So the value is low, mostly around tens to hundreds of yuan

▲Bean-type oily green jadeite

The mid-range ones are a small number of glutinous oil green.

The color is gray-blue, not so dark

The transparency is relatively high and the jade is relatively fine.

The price ranges from a few hundred yuan to one or two thousand yuan.

▲Glutinous oily green jadeite

There are only a very small number of high-end ice oil green.

The color is even and not dull.

The meat is delicate and translucent.

There is a kind of low-key and implicit beauty.

In recent years, it has been quite popular among consumers.

Nowadays, the price has also been rising, ranging from several thousand yuan to tens of thousands of yuan.

▲Ice-type oily green jadeite

In general,

Among the three types of jadeite, dry green, flower green and oily green,

The color of dry green is the greenest and most intense, but the water content is very dry.

And it is not authentic jade, and its value is the lowest

The color of anthocyanin is slightly darker and the distribution is uneven and mottled.

Slightly higher value than dry green

Although the color of oil green is not bright enough,

But good oily green has excellent water quality and the highest value
