Purple is widely distributed in jade, and can often be seen on jade with not much green. However, most of the colors are lighter and distributed in patches, with blurred boundaries with white jade, and are often interspersed with green jade. Structurally, purple jade is mostly medium to coarse grains in the shape of columns to long columns. Some purple jade grains can be giant, up to 10 mm long. The particles are tightly bound together, so the purple part of the same piece of jade is often more transparent than the white part. In chronological order, purple jade belongs to an earlier generation of jade, but is later than white jade of the same era. Purple jade is often in an angular state and surrounded by white jade. It is generally believed that better and more green does not appear in purple jade.

"Red, green, emerald and purple are the most valuable" is a phrase often said by jade lovers. The unique "violet" variety of jade is gradually attracting the attention of the world, especially female consumers, for its moisture, elegance and intelligence. Purple jade is like a girl raised in a boudoir, exuding a unique and elegant charm... Violets symbolize eternal beauty. According to legend, Venus, the goddess of love and beauty, shed tears on the ground when her lover was going away reluctantly. In the spring of the following year, the tears sprouted and grew branches, and beautiful and fragrant flowers bloomed. This is the violet. The mysterious legend created the charming violet, and also gave the violet jade bracelet a mysterious and noble temperament. This icy jade bracelet also presents a violet color and appears crystal clear under the light. It is not difficult to see its inner natural texture, which is natural and orderly, and implicit and restrained. In ancient China, purple was the color of Taoism and the worship of ancient emperors. The so-called "purple air coming from the east" and "purple clothes and sash" are reflections of the status of purple, so purple has become a symbol of mystery, wealth and splendor. Violet jewelry is as purple as smoke and noble as a concubine walking slowly. Perhaps because of this, violet jade jewelry is particularly popular among women in the East and the West.

Its color tone is very pure, the saturation is generally high, and the brightness is medium, thus showing a sense of wealth, grace and generosity. This kind of purple is actually very rare and belongs to the theoretical grade jadeite. Even among purple jadeite, it is hard to find one in a hundred miles, and it has a high collection value.


(2) Reddish purple: This is a purple color that tends to be jade red. Its color saturation is usually medium, and it is rare to see a very high saturation type. It is also not common in purple jadeite, and its value is highly recognized.


(3) Blue purple: This is a purple color that tends to be blue. Its saturation varies greatly, ranging from light blue purple to dark blue purple. It is a common type of purple jadeite and is called "eggplant purple" in the jargon. When the saturation is high, the color often has a gray-blue feel and the brightness is generally lower than other types. (4) Violet: This is the most common type of commercial jadeite. The purple ranges from medium depth to light color. This purple often appears in some jadeite with a coarse or fine texture. Sometimes it appears together with green to form the so-called "spring color". It is the standard color of violet jadeite.


(5) Pink purple: It is a lighter purple that may have a reddish or bluish feel, but it does not reach the level of red purple or blue purple. Although its purple color is still relatively obvious, its saturation is relatively low. It often appears in some jadeite with good water content and fine texture, and its commercial value is the lowest among all purples.


In addition to full green jade, there is also violet jade. The price of full green jade is very high, while the price of violet is relatively moderate and the color is also more pleasing.

1. The magnifying glass inspection is to observe with a magnifying glass or microscope. First, you can carefully observe the characteristics of the purple distribution and the relationship between the color and the jade structure (crystals, cracks, etc.). If it is artificially dyed, the color will penetrate along the micro-cracks of the jade, and there will be accumulation in loose structures. The color concentration will fade from the surface to the inside or to the sides of the cracks.


2. When observing with the help of ultraviolet light, natural purple jadeite generally has no fluorescent reaction under ultraviolet light, while dyed purple jadeite often has a more obvious fluorescence under ultraviolet light. It should be pointed out that to identify whether purple is real or fake, inspection with a magnifying glass is the main method, and inspection with ultraviolet fluorescent light is only an auxiliary means. Inspection by personnel with quality inspector qualifications or inspection agencies with legal qualifications can ensure the authenticity of the product.



Light-colored violet jadeite will appear darker purple under normal lighting and will easily fade under natural light. When purchasing and collecting violet jadeite, it is best to view it under natural light on a standard sunny day.
