Jade is also the most colorful jade.

Yellow is one of the seven main colors of jade. Although yellow jade is not as lively and energetic as green jade, nor as mysterious and noble as violet, high-quality yellow jade also gives people a sense of solemnity and elegance. Therefore, not only green jade with good water quality is a sought-after product, but golden and translucent yellow jade is also very precious.

What is Yellow Jade?

Yellow jade can also be divided into two categories: yellow jade and jade yellow. Yellow jade is jade with mainly jade color but with a yellow tint; jade yellow is jade with mainly yellow tint but with a brown tint; the yellowest can be chestnut yellow, chicken oil yellow and lemon yellow. In the industry, if paired with better quality water, these three types of yellow jade are relatively valuable and can even reach the collection level.

Characteristics and Value of Yellow Jadeite

Yellow jade is more likely to appear in jade jewelry and handicraft carvings. Judging from the source, it mostly appears in the lower or surface layer of the skin. Judging from the crystallization, structure and structural characteristics of the jadeite minerals in jade, the yellow color of jade is caused by secondary impregnation. This also explains why the distribution of yellow color in jade is mottled and reticular. The formation of most yellow color in jade is closely related to the later transformation of jade. The texture of yellow jade is generally loose and its transparency is not very high. The highest quality yellow jade is often the outer skin of jade water stone, which has a lower thickness. The color descriptions of yellow jade include light yellow, dark yellow, orange yellow and golden yellow.

Brown jade mostly appears in jade pebbles on riverbed terraces. After a long geological period of weathering, a layer of brown crust is formed on the jade pebbles, and iron oxide permeates into the lower crust layer, and the color gradually changes from dark to light. Some are also formed in the crack development area of ​​jade deposits due to long-term continuous infiltration of iron oxide. Brown jade accounts for a large proportion of jade jewelry and handicraft carvings. The colors of brown jade include brown, light brown, dark brown and dark brown, forming a series of transitional colors between light and dark. Because brown is formed in a certain geological environment, its distribution state is completely different from artificial dyeing.

The quality of yellow jade is generally not very good, especially good quality ones are rare. Because most of the good yellow jade is the outer skin of jade water stone, and the skin is very thin, the output is relatively low, and the output of good yellow jade is even lower. When purchasing yellow jadeite, the most important thing is to pay attention to the pure yellow color of the jadeite. Try to avoid choosing yellow jadeite with brown or dark tones. The purer the yellow color of the yellow jadeite, the more noble its atmosphere will be, and it will look noble, elegant and beautiful. The quality of yellow jadeite is generally not very good. Yellow jadeite that can reach the ice type is very rare. Ice type yellow jadeite is very precious and hard to come by. Generally speaking, the quality of yellow jadeite is generally bean type or glutinous type. The common high-quality yellow jadeite on the market is generally glutinous type. Teacher Cui Xiaobai once had the opportunity to see several icy-type chicken-oil yellow peace buckles, whose transparency and color were first-class. Later, such jade was never seen on the market. Therefore, when encountering yellow jade with full water content and good transparency, if it is confirmed to be A-grade, it has a high collection and investment value.
