Knowing that old jade is good, you also need to know how to choose!

The old type of jade has a dense texture and fine structure; while the new type of jade has coarse mineral particles and a loose structure. By comparing them, even a jade novice can tell that the old type of jade is of higher quality than the new type of jade.

Jade friends often ask Teacher Yizhui to help them check whether the jade they bought is "new" or "old" jade. Some friends also ask, is the jade with high transparency the old type? What Teacher Yizhui wants to tell you is that the age of jade has nothing to do with whether it is transparent or not. The key lies in the density of the crystal particles inside the jade.


If you want to buy old jadeite, you should pay attention to the following four points:

1. Observe the cotton inside the jade. Old jade has less cotton inside, and when it appears occasionally, it is distributed in the form of tiny dots, unless the growth of the cotton is regular, such as snowflake cotton; while the new jade not only has more cotton, but also contains some ice-like substances.

2. Observe whether the jade is sticky. Old types of jade will give people a sense of visual transparency, and at the same time it feels as if the flesh contains a gelatinous substance, and the gelatinous substance is evenly distributed and dissolved in the flesh, giving people a sense of solidity and connotation; while the new types are not obvious.

3. Observe the grayscale of jadeite. Usually, old jadeite with good water content will have a little gray color. If you come across old jadeite with good water content and no gray feeling at all, the price will definitely be very high. Of course, the price of jade is also related to the purchase price of the raw materials, the size of the finished product, the labor cost of carving, the quality of craftsmanship, etc.

4. Look at the fluorescence. Old jadeite with good water content sometimes gives off a soft and clear light emanating from the inside of the jadeite. This phenomenon rarely occurs in new types of jadeite.

The reason for buying old jade is not only because of its beauty, but also because the dense crystals can increase its toughness. The new jade has coarse crystals and low hardness. Therefore, when purchasing, old jade is given priority.
