Because the “pit” is good, the jade is good?

There has always been a saying about jadeite being divided into "new pit" and "old pit". We usually say that "old pit" jadeite is better than "new pit" jadeite. Is this really true?

Which one of them is better has always been very controversial, and is often used interchangeably, as if all jade is said to be old mine, and some brick materials are called new mines. So whenever you hear an old pit, it is good, and a new pit is bad!

But in fact, old mines and new mines are just definitions of the excavation time of some mines, not definitions of the quality of jade. Old mines can produce jade that is not old, and new mines can also produce jade that is old. They cannot be generalized. Moreover, even for the well-proportioned old pit varieties, their quality is relatively different. Some are more transparent, while others are less transparent, so their value is also different. We should still treat it rationally.
