How many full green jadeites are there? Why can we often see it in the market?

In the jade trading market, full green jade jewelry with excellent quality, water and color is very difficult to find, and can be said to be very rare. The reason is that this kind of jadeite raw stone with good quality and color is one in a million, and it is a blessing to be able to mine such a raw stone. So what are the full greens that we often see? It should be said that there are the following:

Dry green jadeite

As the name suggests, Ganqing refers to a kind of jadeite that can be seen in the market, which lacks water, looks a little dry, but is almost full green. The green concentration of dry green jadeite is very high and the color is relatively dark, mostly dark green to dark green, with many black spots and frequent cracks. With the naked eye, one can observe black granular or columnar grains in dry green jadeite, and the color is uneven. Therefore, although the dry green variety is very dark green, almost full green, its water content is relatively poor, and it can be said to have color but no quality.

Tielongsheng Jade

The quality of Tielongsheng jade is worse than Ganqing jade. Thirty years ago, Burmese miners discovered Tielongsheng in Longken. They were very surprised to find that these jades were also almost full green. In Burmese, full green is pronounced as "Tianlongsheng", so Tielongsheng is also called Tianlongsheng.

Because Tielongsheng is very thick and opaque, it looks very dull. Hong Kong goldsmiths cut it into very thin slices, and then use it for inlay after it has a slight water head. This is also known as "thin installation" in the industry. However, the black spots on the iron dragon still affect the appearance.

Dyed Jade

By artificially dyeing it with chemical reagents, colorless or light-colored jadeite is made more vivid green, so that it can be used to imitate better quality full-green jadeite. This type of jadeite is called "C goods"; if glue is injected, it is called "B+C goods". For dyed jadeite, since the dye enters the jadeite along the particles or cracks, you can see that the dyed color is mostly distributed in a silk screen pattern, and the precipitation or aggregation of the dye can be seen in the larger cracks. There are some counterfeits that are not even jadeite, such as green glass, Australian jade, Malay jade, etc., which are dazzling.
