What grade does ice jade belong to in jade?

Ice jade is actually very easy to understand. Just as its name suggests, it is as clear and transparent as ice, crystal clear. It gives people a cool feeling when you touch it, especially in summer, this cool feeling is particularly obvious.

In the jade industry, ice jade is one of the many types of jade. Its texture is quite transparent, but compared with glass jade, its texture is slightly inferior. And unlike the glass type, ice jade is only three parts warm, but seven parts cold. Although ice jade is not as precious as glass jade, in real life, except for commercial reasons, real ice jade is hard to come by. Because of this, ice jade has received the following praise from the industry: "Ice bracelets are free of glitz and show calmness, and are the perfect jewelry for mature women; ice pendants sweep away frivolity and are the best choice for steady men."

It can be seen that in the ranking of jade quality, ice jade is second only to glass jade, and belongs to the mid-to-high-end jade. In appearance, the surface of ice jade has excellent luster, it is translucent to transparent, and clear like water, giving people a feeling of ice and jade. The ice type is full of water, very transparent, and has excellent texture. The best quality and most transparent ice-type jade is often called high ice-type by peers, which means the best type of ice, but does not reach the level of glass-type. "High ice type" is difficult to define professionally, but it often appears in business.

In summary, generally speaking, pure natural ice jade has the following characteristics:

1. The ice type has a very good outer surface luster, is translucent to transparent, and the shape of the jade looks like ice crystals.

2. Colorless or less colored, uniform particle size, grains can be distinguished by naked eyes, without cracks, cotton patterns or sparseness.

3. If the ice-type jadeite has floc-like or intermittent vein-like blue-green color. This kind of jade is called blue flower ice, or ice-type floating flower jade, which is a common variety of ice jade.

It is reported that currently on the jade market, most of the ice jade belongs to mid-range or mid-to-high-end jade. This kind of jade is often made into bracelets, pendants or egg-shaped beads, etc. Among jade jewelry, ice-type jade bracelets are particularly popular among female friends, especially when the jade bracelet with green or blue patterns is worn on a slender and white wrist and the hand is slightly raised, it shows the feminine gentleness and elegance.
