What are the colors of jade? Which colors are more popular specifically?

First of all, let’s talk about the relatively popular green color in jadeite. The green color-causing element in jadeite is chromium ion, which is the original color. Jadeite only needs a few thousandths of chromium ions to produce color. For example, emerald green and sun green have a chromium content of a few thousandths; dark green and emerald only have a few thousandths of chromium. If iron ions are involved in coloring, it will turn into dark green, or black green, yellow sun green, bean green, etc.

The red in jade is a secondary color, called jade. It is formed by filling the spaces between grains or cracks with iron, manganese and other substances. If it contains a lot of high-valence iron and manganese, the color will be red; if it contains a lot of low-valence iron and manganese, it will be yellow.

The purple in jade is a primary color, also known as spring color in the industry. The main chromogen is manganese ions. There is also violet color in jade, which is also purple.
