It is said that jade is most valuable when it is green, so why are these types so cheap?

When talking about jade, everyone knows a saying, which is "Red, green, and purple are the most valuable." It can be said that this sentence has summarized the three most precious colors among the many colors of jade. In addition, there is another saying that is still regarded as the truth by people today, which is "Jade is most valuable because of its green color."

What Shopkeeper Cui wants to do today is to overturn this truth to everyone. Why? You will know after looking at the following three types of jade!

Dry green jadeite

I believe everyone is familiar with dry green jadeite. This is a kind of jadeite that is close to full green and is more common in the jadeite market. Although dry green jade can be full green, it also has a fatal flaw, which is that the water head is very poor , causing the jade to look very dry! Jadeite is particular about its quality, water and color, so the value of dry green jadeite is not high. Therefore, we must not spend a high price to buy dry green jadeite.

Tielong Raw Slices

If Ganqingzhong is not valuable, then Tielongsheng is even cheaper. Tielongsheng jade is also a green jade, but because the water head of jade is very poor, even worse than that of dry green jade , Tielongsheng jade is often made into thin slices and sold in the market . Because the thinned Tielongsheng slices have much better water head, however, one thing we must pay attention to is that the value of this kind of thin slices is not very high, we must pay attention to it.

Flower Green Jade

The color of lavender jadeite is green in base, but its color distribution is particularly uneven. Moreover, the quality of lavender jadeite is closely related to its water quality. Generally, lavender jadeite without water is worthless. It can even be said that it cannot be called jadeite and it does not look beautiful at all. However, if you come across a piece of celadon jadeite with sufficient quality and good water head structure, and if the color is matched appropriately, then its value will be a different matter.

Dyed Jade

Dyed jade is what we often call fake jade. It is made by artificially dyeing some colorless jade into green jade. In fact, the value of this kind of jade is not high . Currently, many short video live broadcast rooms are selling this kind of jade. The price is cheap, but it is a fake . Friends must pay attention when buying jade! Jadeite with full green color and good quality is extremely valuable. You won’t be able to get a bargain here!

To sum up, don't spend a lot of money on the first three types, and try not to be greedy for the last one , because the first three types are jade after all, while the last one is basically worthless, and will cause certain harm to the human body if worn for a long time.
