Does “spicy enough” jade mean that it has flavor? ! What kind of jade can be considered "spicy"

Maybe many of you have heard jade merchants or jade players mention the word "spicy color" of jade, so what exactly is spicy color? Why use a taste word to describe jade?

What is the color "spicy"

Green is the representative color of jade, and various shades of green can be subdivided according to the depth of its hue. Therefore, in order to facilitate the distinction, people in the industry have to use various adjectives to distinguish them, such as Yang Green, Apple Green, and even the popular Imperial Green, to facilitate communication.

Among them, the term "spicy color" is specifically used to describe the green color of jadeite. If the green color of a piece of jade is bright, rich, and prominent, different from the common mild green, it can be called "spicy"

There is a saying: "very spicy is called hot." The original meaning of hot is a taste that has a strong stimulating effect on the taste buds. "Spicy color" converts the spiciness of the taste into a visual impact, reflecting the direct sensory experience. This feeling is used to describe an extremely bright green color, which can be a full color or in the form of flakes, blocks, or clumps.

There are a thousand kinds of color for a thousand people

As the saying goes, there are a thousand Hamlets for a thousand moviegoers. As a folk saying, the standard of "spicy color" is naturally not very clear. There is no standard definition, and there are no samples to refer to. It depends more on personal understanding and perception of jade.

Although the color of jade is "spicy" or not can only be felt, but not described, it can still be distinguished when it is with other greens. Next, through the comparison of Yang Green, Spicy Green, and Imperial Green, let everyone have a more intuitive understanding of the uniqueness of "spicy color"~

1. Yang Green

Yang Green is also called Huangyang Green, which refers to the color of jadeite which is slightly transparent to translucent. The color is bright emerald, slightly yellow and bright, just like the new leaves of Huangyang in early spring.

Yang Green refers to emerald green with yellow, which means that the color of the jade bracelet is both emerald green and yellow. In terms of the quality of jadeite, it basically has to reach the glutinous grade or above. Although Yang Green Jade is not as deep and rich in color as Dark Green Jade, it can be worth a lot of money if it is carved and processed properly.

2. Imperial Green

Imperial green is the best and most valuable green color of jadeite, also known as "emerald green", which gives people a sense of noble beauty.

This green is very attractive, full and translucent. Words cannot express its beauty. You can only understand it by seeing it with your own eyes. It is a very pure green, with neither yellow nor blue tones, and has excellent transparency. It looks elegant and full of spirit. Imperial green is world-famous for its restrained and stable appearance and is priceless.

3. Spicy Green

If a piece of jade is rich, bright and prominent in green, different from the general mild green, and forms a sharp contrast with other greens, it can be called spicy green. It refers specifically to green, not other colors of jade such as red and yellow. It only refers to the bright green. Green that is yellowish or bluish cannot be said to be spicy green.

Spicy green jadeite is a high-grade color of jadeite. It does not mean that jadeite with spicy color is necessarily of good quality. According to the comprehensive factors of jadeite quality and color, spicy green can be subdivided into medium spicy green jadeite and high spicy green jadeite.

The mid-range spicy green jadeite has a fine texture, average water content, deep and full color, and the price generally starts at ten thousand yuan. High-grade spicy green jadeite has bright color, is old and has rich water content. It is generally ice type or above, and the price starts at one million.

When buying jadeite, should you choose the species or the color?

When actually purchasing jadeite, there are still only a few consumers who do not care about the price, so the question of which is more important, type or color, becomes a point of concern for many people.

Although the jade industry says "outsiders look at color, insiders look at quality", there is also a saying "one point of color is worth ten points of price". After all, if a jade is of good quality but colorless, it will not appear luxurious enough, and if the color is good but the quality is not good, it will not be lively enough.

Therefore, colors and types complement each other. There is no saying which is more important. Different people have different tastes. When you meet one that suits your taste, no matter whether it is "spicy" or has good water quality, what matters most is that you like it. Jade meets its destined lover! In fact, everyone has different senses, and their appreciation of whether jade is "hot" or not may vary slightly, so most of the time it depends on everyone's own understanding. However, in addition to its value reflected in money, jade actually has different meanings for everyone. Money can't buy what you love, so it's good to be able to find jade that suits your taste.
