Jade does not retain its value? Buying these kinds of jade is like paying IQ tax

Jade is deeply loved by people because of its bright colors and transparent texture, and is called the "King of Jade". Jade is not only beautiful to wear, but also because it is difficult to mine and its output is scarce, the price of good jade has been rising. Some people buy jadeite for investment, and it has great potential for appreciation in value in the future. But not all jade is valuable. The following types are not valuable, so you must consider carefully when purchasing.

1. Eighty-three kinds of jadeite

Eight Three Jade is a new type of jade discovered in Myanmar in 1983. People call it "Eight Three Jade" according to the year. The characteristics of Eight Three Jade are loose texture and light color, mostly light apple green and light purple.

Because of its loose texture, cheap raw material price, and relatively transparent texture after optimization treatment, the green color part will be deepened, the appearance is beautiful and the price is cheap, it is often used as B-grade jade raw material. Although the 83 kinds of jade are of high quality and low price, they are often injected with glue and do not have very high market value and collection value.

2. Dyed Quartzite

Quartzite can be said to be the most commonly used material to impersonate other high-end jades in the market. The so-called Malaysian jade, Korean jade, etc. seen in the market are actually dyed quartzite. It is also a very common phenomenon that quartzite is dyed to impersonate jadeite after impurities are removed at high temperature.

Under strong light, dyed quartzite will appear unevenly granular, which is very different from the delicate granularity of jadeite. In addition, if you look at the internal structure under magnification, it will have a silky texture. Also, dyed quartzite appears red under a Charles filter and has color accumulation.

3. Horse-tooth Jade

Horse-tooth jade is a less common variety of jade, and most people are not very familiar with this jade with a strange name. Generally speaking, horse-tooth jade has a fine texture but is opaque, like porcelain.

The horse-tooth jade has a white or grayish white base and is mostly green. The tone is simple and may be mixed with light green, brown and other colors. It looks good at first glance, but it has color but no quality. If you look closely, you can see very thin white stripes in the green. It is usually made into simple jade jewelry. When purchasing rings, cigarette holders and snuff bottles, you will often hear merchants say that it is horse-tooth jade.

4. Porcelain-bottomed jadeite

Porcelain is very beautiful. Porcelain-based jade means that the texture of jade is grayish white like white porcelain, opaque or slightly transparent. The texture is also very rough, without spirituality, and feels very dull.

The color of porcelain-bottom jade is mostly white, and some are a little green, but no matter what it is, its color and type are not combined, and it is dry and without water. The color of the porcelain base is mainly white, and the green on it is often thin, shallow, without extending into the base, and not blending with the species, but only distributed on a single surface.

5. Jadeite struck by lightning

As the name suggests, this type of jade is struck by lightning and has many cracks, as if it had been struck by lightning. The color of this kind of jade is generally good. Since the cracks are irregular and non-directional, it is a characteristic of tortoise shell cracks.

The appearance of this kind of jade is unique, and is sometimes mentioned as a selling point by sellers, but such cracks represent flaws in jade, and the price is not high. They are often made into low-grade jade or small jade jewelry.

Generally speaking, the value of the above-mentioned stones is far less than that of jadeite. Although they have certain value, you should try not to buy them. You should always pay attention to some traps of jadeite to avoid being deceived.
