There is only one letter difference, why is the price so different? There is only one letter difference, why is the price so different?

As the saying goes, gold has a price but jade is priceless. Jade is not priced as clearly as gold, where the value of one gram of gold is clearly written.

The price of jade varies greatly. Some are priced as high as hundreds of millions, while others can be bought for only a few hundred yuan. What factors are at work?

Have you noticed that in jade knowledge there are many terms that seem to differ by only one word but actually have completely different meanings?

Today, I will talk to you about these jade terms that can result in a price difference of hundreds of thousands just by one word difference.

Floating Flower Jade VS Floating Color Jade

Floating flower jade refers to the distribution of color on jade. From the appearance, the floating flower is a piece or a group of scattered colors composed of color roots and color spots. It is actually green or blue distributed in the form of silk threads, dots, clusters, and layers on the base of jade. The color of the floating flower is the color-causing ions that enter the interior of jade during the formation of jade. The color distribution that is different from the base color of jade is called floating flower. 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.

Floating color jade refers to jade that has colors different from the jade base color. These colors blend and penetrate each other with the jade base color. The most typical floating color jadeite is "Spring Color".

Value comparison: Floating flowers are an additional element of jadeite, and its value is also added value. It does not play a dominant role in the value of jadeite. The main factors affecting the value of jadeite are still its type, water, color, and workmanship, which play a role in enhancing or weakening the overall value of jadeite. Generally speaking, floating flower jadeite is more expensive than floating color jadeite, but this is not absolute. For example, "Spring Color" is a rare treasure.

Jadeite "Luminescence" VS Jadeite "Fluorescence"

The luminescence of jade is an optical phenomenon of jade. When shaking colorless ice jade, we can observe a soft, white, hazy white light with the naked eye, which is the luminescence produced by jade.

This fluorescence is the product of high-pressure and low-temperature metamorphism of the mineral components in jade. The mineral composition of jade is mainly jadeite, so the quality of jade depends on the size of the jadeite crystal particles.

When the jade particles are fine to a certain degree and have good transparency, and then they are carved into appropriate shapes later, they will produce fluorescence.

"Fluorescence" refers to the luminescence phenomenon of jade when it is stimulated by external energy, such as ultraviolet rays. The luminescence stops immediately after the excitation source is withdrawn. This luminescence phenomenon is called fluorescence.

Since B-grade and B+C jadeite are filled with epoxy resin organic glue, they usually fluoresce under ultraviolet light. Jadeite that has not undergone any artificial treatment will not fluoresce!

Value comparison: Artificial jade that has not undergone any treatment will not fluoresce! It won’t fluoresce! It won’t fluoresce! Important things should be said three times!

This can be used as a reference suggestion for all jade lovers when purchasing jade. At the same time, consumers also need to pay attention to one point: when a merchant tells you "fluorescence", be sure to ask clearly which word it means. Be careful of unscrupulous merchants who play word games with you.

Jade stone pattern VS jade crack

The stone patterns and cracks of jade are both flaws of jade. Among them, the cracks are called fissures, and the healed cracks are called streaks. The method of identification is to gently stroke the lines with your fingers. If you feel a pause or obstruction, it means there are cracks on the surface of the jade.

As for the stone patterns, they are just like moles or birthmarks on our body, which are congenital and natural. It looks linear or line-like, exists very naturally, and there are no gaps in the texture.

Using the same method, gently stroke the veins with your hands. If it is a little rough but there is no discomfort and no hand-straining, then it means it is a stone vein.

Value comparison: The stone pattern of jade is okay. Although it is a flaw, there is no danger of damage itself. However, although the cracks of jade will not break in a short period of time, it does pose a potential risk of damage. In general, jade with more cracks is not recommended to be purchased, because if jade has cracks, its value will be greatly reduced, and it will have no collection value!

Oily green jadeite VS dry green jadeite

Oily green jade is a type of jade with finer crystal particles, better transparency and darker color. Its surface gloss is like oily gloss, so it is called Oily Green. Its color is often not very bright, mostly gray-green, but its texture is relatively delicate and transparent, with a low-key and implicit beauty. In recent years, oily green jade has been loved by consumers, and its price is now rising!

Strictly speaking, Ganqing jadeite is not actually real jadeite, because the main component of Ganqing jadeite is sodium chrome pyroxene, and it only contains a small amount of jadeite, while the main component of jadeite is jadeite. Ganqing is mostly full green, sometimes accompanied by small black spots, the crystal grains are very coarse and the transparency is very poor.

Value comparison: In terms of color, the Oil Green variety is not as rich as the Dry Green variety, but in terms of water quality, the Oil Green variety can easily beat the Dry Green variety. Moreover, the Dry Green variety is not authentic jadeite. It is conceivable that the price of the Oil Green variety is naturally more than ten blocks higher than that of the Dry Green variety.

Just a difference of one word can result in such a huge difference in value, so jade lovers must make it clear before purchasing. Don't be anxious and blind. It is a hard truth to look more and buy less and learn first. However, if you encounter the following situations, don't buy it. If you have to pay tuition for such obvious situations, Consultant Zhao can only say that you are not suitable for jade.

crack

If there are large cracks on the bracelet or jade egg-shaped surface, they are clearly visible to the naked eye. This will not only seriously affect the water, texture and color of the jade, but also have a great impact on its value.

Cracks

The creator of the strands is nature. The cracks refer to the small cracks that grow naturally during the formation of jade, mostly inside the jade. The presence of cracks sometimes seriously affects the beauty of jade and also has a great impact on the price of jade. If there are wrinkles on the face of jade Guanyin or Buddha, its price will be much lower.

Stone Flower

In jade rough materials or jewelry, there are often small clumps of slightly less transparent jadeite interwoven with fibrous crystals. The floc-like white precipitates are stone flowers. Because of their different shapes and characteristics, the industry often calls those with higher density and darker color "stone brains" or "dead flowers." When there are obvious stone flowers in jade, the value of jade will easily be affected.

Noise

Jadeite comes in large patches or small dots. Small areas or dots of green, red, and yellow may be the icing on the cake, making the entire jewelry more distinctive. However, the presence of some black or brown may be a flaw, making the entire jewelry ugly and low-end. Don't buy jadeite that has black, brown, or other mixed colors.

In short, no one is perfect, and no jade is perfect. Dear jade lovers, you should look at these flaws rationally and avoid these unacceptable flaws when making choices. After all, the price of perfect jade must be staggering.
