What are the floating flowers in jade? What is jadeite tinea? Don't confuse the two.

A few days ago, a new jadeite friend bought a floating flower jadeite bracelet and showed it off everywhere, saying that he bought it at a high price.

But a friend who knew the business said at first glance that this bracelet had no way of being worth so much money and suddenly reduced the price by 50%. The jade lover was not willing to accept this, so he took a photo and sent it to the editor for an evaluation!


When I saw the photo, I knew that this jade friend had "taken medicine", so I told this jade friend the truth~

She was cheated. This bracelet was not a bracelet with floating flowers, so it was normal to buy it at a high price!

The friend was confused for a moment. If it wasn’t a bracelet with floating flowers, then what kind of bracelet was it?

The third brother told her that those on the jade were ringworms, not floating flowers.

Ringworm? What is ringworm? Why does it look so much like floating flowers?

Let's talk about this issue today~

1. What is jadeite’s lichen?

Jade tinea refers to the black or dark-gray strips or patches that can be seen on the surface or inside of jade.

Jadeite lichen is more common in jadeite raw stones. It appears very abrupt in jadeite raw stones, so people in the jade industry call it jadeite's "lichen".

The shapes and sizes of jadeite lichen vary, including spots, stripes, etc.


Jade jargon is called "ringworm eats green" or "green follows black" ~

The relationship between the lichen and green of jade is very close, but where there is lichen, there will not necessarily be green jade. Conversely, where there is green jade, there will not necessarily be lichen. This mainly depends on the geological environment where the lichen is formed. Therefore, there is a saying among the people that there is "live lichen" and "dead lichen".

2. What are the floating flowers of jadeite?

The floating flowers on jade refer to the distribution of colors on jade. From the appearance, the floating flowers appear to be a piece or a cluster of scattered colors composed of color roots and color spots. In fact, it is green or blue distributed in the form of silk threads, dots and layers on the base of jade. The color of the floating flowers is the color-causing ions brought into jade during the formation process of jade.

These color-generating ions blend and intersect with the base, and floating green or blue threads on the base are called floating flowers. If there is green on the base, it is a green flower, and if there is blue on the base, it is a blue flower.

Therefore, the bracelet of this jade friend is not a floating flower bracelet, but a jadeite ringworm.

Jadeite with floating flowers is very popular in the market, but the moss on jadeite is not valuable!

3. What is the beauty of floating flower jadeite?

The floating flowers on jadeite appear and generate randomly, in some shapes like dot + ribbon, ribbon + strip, etc.

This uncertain combination, with the rendering of line contours and the background of jadeite, creates a picture that is naturally beautiful.

It describes a different atmosphere, makes the reality and illusion stand out, can inspire associations, connect and correspond the vast scenery of falling flowers and flying snow, and feel things beyond the picture, giving people a beautiful poetic and pictorial conception, which is both illusory and realistic, and can even be touched.

4. What colors do the floating flowers have?

The common colors of floating flowers are green or blue, which are called green floating flowers and blue floating flowers, or floating green flowers and floating blue flowers respectively.

Jadeite is a jade stone with mainly green color. The value of green floating flowers is obviously the highest, followed by blue floating flowers.

5. The relationship between floating flowers and seeds

The better the quality of jade, the finer the crystal structure, so it will appear full of water and high in transparency!

In such an environment, the floating flowers appear clear-veined, crystal-clear and bright, complementing the colors.

The excellent water head and transparency of glass and ice types perfectly highlight the poetic and picturesque beauty of the floating flowers.

Therefore, the better the seeds, the better the floating flower effect will be!

6. Value positioning of floating flower jadeite

The value of jade is determined by its type, water, color, and workmanship, and requires a comprehensive evaluation. A single factor cannot determine the entire value of jade.

Floating flowers are an additional element of jade, and their role in the value of jade is still based on the type, water, color and workmanship of jade.

Under the same conditions, floating flowers can serve as the finishing touch for jadeite and have an important impact on the overall value of jadeite.

Therefore, it is reasonable that floating flower jade has become the darling of jade.
