Is glass jade definitely more expensive than ice jade? This depends on the actual situation!

Among jadeite types, ice type and glass type are the most easily confused. On the one hand, it is because the two are too similar. On the other hand, there is no clear boundary between high ice type and glass type, and it is very difficult to distinguish them.

Glass-type jade is the best quality among jades. It is not difficult to understand from the literal meaning that this kind of jade is as transparent as glass, and a layer of fluorescence can be seen on the surface with the naked eye. The texture of the glass type is very fine and the transparency is very high. There are very few inclusions inside the jade, and there are almost no visible defects such as cotton and lines.

The ice type is second only to the glass type. Its transparency and texture are close to ice, giving people a feeling of "three parts warm and seven parts cold". The texture of ice jade is also very fine, and its transparency is relatively high, but the impurities inside are slightly more than that of glass jade, so the quality is not as good as that of glass jade.

One of the main reasons why many jade lovers are so concerned about the difference between ice type and glass type is that they believe that glass type is more valuable than ice type. In fact, it is incorrect to generally believe that the value of glass type is definitely higher than that of ice type.

Jade lovers all know that, under normal circumstances, the price of glass jade is definitely higher than that of ice jade. This can be said to be common sense in the jade industry, but some people may fall into a misunderstanding because of this, thinking that the value of glass jade must be higher than that of ice jade.

Although the qualities of glass-type jade are indeed better than those of ice-type jade, in general, the selling price of the same type of glass-type jade will indeed be higher than that of ice-type jade, but there are many other factors that affect the price of jade.

For example, high-quality ice jadeite with a complete and full green shape is naturally more expensive than colorless glass jadeite. Therefore, when comparing the prices of two pieces of jade, it is necessary to comprehensively compare the two based on their color, shape, and size.

For example, a small pure white glass-type flower piece would be at most a few tens of thousands of yuan, whereas a full green ice-type flower piece could be sold for several million yuan if it is complete and full in shape. Therefore, it is important to fully understand the value composition of jadeite, rather than to distinguish between ice and glass types.

So under what circumstances is it important to distinguish between ice and glass types? That is the pure white variety of jade. Since the price difference between pure white ice and glass types of the same size is very large, at least more than 10 times, so jade lovers must make a clear distinction.
