How to identify the species of jade

Identifying the "species" of jadeite is mainly based on the thickness of the crystal particles of jadeite, the density of the crystal combination, transparency, luster and other aspects. The "species" of jadeite is one of the key indicators to evaluate the quality of jadeite. The following are some common jadeite species and their characteristics:


Beautiful earringsGlass characteristics: fine texture, dense structure, high transparency, almost completely transparent, as clear as glass, fluorescent, pure texture without defects, belongs to the jade in the best. The market value is very high, it is the best jade collection and investment.


Ice characteristics: the transparency is slightly lower than that of glass, translucent to transparent, delicate structure, rare cotton, stone flowers and other flocculent observed by the naked eye, luster warm and moist like water, giving people the feeling of ice Qing Yuying. The market value is high, second only to glass, and it is also a representative of high-grade jade.


Glutinous characteristics: low transparency, translucent to slightly transparent, the structure is relatively rough, the naked eye can faintly see the structure, texture like sticky rice soup, giving people a warm feeling. The market value is medium and lower, but the value of waxy ice which is close to the quality of ice is not low.


Bean characteristics: the crystal particles are coarse, the transparency is poor, the crystal particle boundary is easy to see with the naked eye, the water head is very poor, often with stone flowers, giving people a rough and "dry" texture. The market value is low, but the value of fine beans and iced beans is relatively high.


Oil green species characteristics: dark color, dark green, but good quality fine, surface luster like grease, light transmission according to the difference in the composition of the ore changes greatly. The market value is medium and lower, but the good quality oil green seed also has a high market value.


White background green characteristics: fine texture, fiber structure, the background color is generally white, sometimes there are some impurities, but the green is bright, green and white is clear, giving people a fresh feeling. The market value is medium to above, and the value of the bright green and evenly distributed white background is higher.


Dragon stone species characteristics: dense structure, with the naked eye can not see cotton, impurities, such as silky smooth and delicate, "water" foot, full and full, extremely warm, excellent gloss, shining light, cold jade cold color, is a very rare type of jade. The market value is very high, it is the top old kind of jade.


Hibiscus species characteristics: the color is generally light green, not yellow, very elegant, can not see the obvious fiber particle boundaries, although not transparent, but warm and elegant, there is a refined beauty. Medium market value, because of its unique light and elegant beauty and favored.


Gold wire characteristics: the green is arranged in parallel filaments, the color of the green strip and the proportion of the green belt, as well as the thickness of the texture will affect its value. The market value varies according to the color and proportion of the green strip.


Transparency is one of the important indicators to identify the jade seed water, the higher the transparency, the better the jade seed water. Jadeite with fine texture and dense structure has better seed water, while jadeite with rough texture and loose structure has worse seed water. Although color is not the only criterion for identifying jade seed water, jadeite with bright colors and uniform distribution is often better.


If conditions permit, the internal structure of the jade can be observed with magnifying glasses, microscopes and other tools to more accurately identify its seed water.


Identifying the species of jadeite requires comprehensive consideration of many aspects, including transparency,texture, color and so on. At the same time, it is also necessary to continue to learn and practice in order to improve their ability to discriminate.
