Jadeite is a type of jadeite. Most of the domestic jadeite is produced in Myanmar. Its Mohs hardness reaches 6.5-7 degrees. People classify jadeite based on its density, roughly including glass, ice, glutinous, bean, etc.

People wear and appreciate gemstone jewelry for collection. There is actually a difference between gemstones and jade. Gemstone varieties are more recognized abroad, while jade has a long history of appreciation and wearing in China, and it is mainly used for decoration.

Gems and jade are actually both stones, but in order to become gems or jade, they must be hard enough, have beautiful colors, and be extremely rare. When the stone is formed, due to the difference in natural environment and temperature conditions, the stone is integrated with other different mineralized substances to form color. Because the temperature given by the natural environment when it is formed is different, the stone turns into jade. That is, the size and density of the particles that make up the stone vary. The same piece of jade can be half jade and half stone or have color in some sections. Most of them are caused by inclusions and temperature changes.

Jadeite is a jade with beautiful colors. Conventional emerald is green, jadeite is yellow, and cypress is purple. The higher the degree of jadeification, the higher the density, the so-called fine water quality. It becomes glass-type, which is actually a crystalline gem, so it has the highest value. Because high-quality jade is already a scarce jade, even the bean-type jade is only superior or inferior to the glutinous, ice, or glass types in terms of density and water quality. But if it has beautiful colors, it also has a high aesthetic value. Wearing appreciation value and rarity value.

The quality of a piece of jade can be measured roughly from these aspects: type, water, color, base, and workmanship. If the quality is not good, although it cannot be called a collectible, it is not equivalent to a cheap brick product. Some clever carvings with color, through the creativity of the sculptor, are also valuable. Moreover, things are valuable because they are rare. Scarcity and uniqueness will also have value.

Similarly, the so-called ice-type small fine products that e-commerce companies like to sell the most are small and thin, and mostly made of scraps. In fact, their value is not high, but it cannot be seen in photos. Most people have no concept of the size, so they have become the favorite of e-commerce companies. In short, you need to make comprehensive considerations when looking at jadeite.

The type of jade is used to describe the fineness of jade and cannot be generalized. As the name suggests, bean varieties have a texture that is arranged like beans, with a relatively coarse texture and low transparency. Even the lowest grade beans available are divided into fine beans and coarse beans. No two pieces of jade are exactly alike, so the fineness of the jade can only be described as closer to one another. Some bean varieties have a relatively fine and uniform texture. If it has good color, even if it is bean variety, it can be worth a lot of money. For example, a necklace of fine bean beads in full sun green.

The quality is the soul of jade, and the soul that can reflect the value of jade is the quality of water. As the saying goes, laymen look at the color, and experts look at the quality of water. The water quality is too poor and it has no luster or vitality. It looks dull, like a green stone. The prerequisite for jade is its moisture, glossiness, and pearly luster. Under the premise of water quality, we look at the color, so bean-type jadeite is the most entry-level.

The "type" means the fineness of the jade flesh. As the name suggests, the "bean-type" means that the jade flesh is larger and the jade crystal grains are almost visible to the naked eye. Most bean-type jadeites are low-end entry-level models! The grade of jadeite is not simply defined by its type, but also by its color and water! It is also one of the key factors in defining jadeite!

The quality of jade is the essence of jade! Ice type, as the name suggests, means that the fineness of jade is like the feeling of ice, glass type! That means the delicate texture of jade is as crystal clear as glass! To a certain extent, it can be said that bean-type jade is a low-end jade!

However, on the other hand, we cannot say that bean-type jade is the lowest-end type of jade, because bean-type jade is divided into coarse beans, fine beans, beans with water, and also has color. Of course, the ones without color, water and rough texture are cheap. The glutinous kind is very porcelain-like and has no color; the oily green kind has a rough texture, no water, and the color is not correct. These are all low-end products!

Moreover, the simple classification of bean-type jadeite includes bean green type, ice bean type, sugar bean type, field bean type, oil bean type and colored bean type! Not all bean varieties are low-end products. Some can reach mid-range products, such as green bean varieties and ice bean varieties. We cannot generalize!

This makes it easy to tell what kind of jade is good. Those who know how to play will focus on the quality of the water, and then add color and craftsmanship. If the water quality is not good, the workmanship will not be very good either. Not worth the effort. In the commercial industry, in order to make money, the quality of the beans is not very good, so it is not impossible to give them to beginners to play with.
