How should we choose the oily green jadeite that displays the beauty of gray tones?

If you were to ask which type of jade has the best value for money? Oily green jadeite must be on the list!

Just because it has a foggy gray tone, it is not loved by the majority of jade lovers, so the market price is naturally lower.

But if we look at it from another angle, we will discover the unique beauty hidden in the oily green jadeite.

(Oil-green Jadeite)

The characteristics of oily green jadeite are mainly concentrated in one word, that is gray !

It is an out-and-out dark-colored jadeite. The color is not bright, but appears dull and gray, as if covered by a layer of gray haze, making it difficult to see clearly.

This is also the main reason why people don’t like oily green jadeite.

Like the oily green jade bracelet in the picture above, its texture is average, and its "gray" color really makes it uninteresting.

The market price is at most in the small thousand range, which belongs to the low-end jadeite category.

Does this mean that Oily Green Jade is not suitable for purchase?

In fact, if we grasp the focus when selecting, it will be easier to find bargains in oily green jadeite.

As we can see from the previous article, color is a key factor affecting the quality of oily green jadeite.

Then when we choose, we need to pay special attention to the color bias.

Like the two oil green bracelets above, the texture is very similar, both belong to the very delicate glutinous variety.

But in terms of color, there is a world of difference between the two.

Although both are green in tone, the color of the first oil green bracelet is obviously darker and grayer than the second bracelet.

(Full green jadeite)

In contrast, the second oil green bracelet has a significantly lower grayscale color, which makes people feel bright.

But its color is still impure and cannot be compared with the real full green jadeite.

But it has a very high price advantage!

For an oily green jade bracelet of similar quality, the market price is around the high fives (70,000 to 90,000 yuan).

A pure green bracelet with the correct color would cost you six or seven figures, or even your shadow.

So if friends can accept a certain degree of gray, Oily Green Jadeite is actually a good choice.
