The difference between jadeite and jade

Many people don't understand the concepts of "jade" and "jade" and mistake "jade" for "jade". For example, they want to buy a jade bracelet, but they say "I want to buy a jade bracelet". Or they mistakenly understand "jade" as a specific kind of jade, and they will ask: which is better, jade or jade? In order to let everyone know the difference between jade and jadeite in detail, the following is an introduction from all levels.

1. What is "jade" and what is "jade"? There is such a description in China's ancient book Shuo Wen Jie Zi: "Jade is the beauty of stone, that is to say, a beautiful stone that is moist and shiny can be called jade!" According to the understanding of jewelry discipline and oriental traditional literature, "jade" is broad, including Hetian jade, jadeite, Xiuyu jade, dushan jade, agate, turquoise, timely, Shoushan stone, bloodstone and so on. In the folk or jade industry, "jade" can also be narrowly divided into nephrite and jadeite. Nephrite refers to nephrite, Kunlun jade, etc. Merchants will also refer to a certain kind of jade as "jade", for example, the jade industry will refer to jade as "jade", or the Hetian jade industry will also refer to Hetian jade as "jade".

Second, what is "jade"

Jade, also known as jadeite, jadeite and Burmese jade, is a kind of jade. It is a variety of jade. Jade's name comes from the animal jade bird, and red or yellow means "flying". Green is "Cui", and emerald with good water-based and rich green is "Gao Cui".

Emeralds are produced in many places, including Myanmar, Russia, Japan and Kazakhstan. Gem-grade jadeite that can be used to make jewelry is only produced in Kachin state in northern Myanmar, and only a very small part of the jadeite produced reaches the jewelry level. Among the types of jade, jade has the highest overall price and value, so it is praised as "the king of jade" by the orientals.

3. The concept and difference between jadeite and jade.

In fact, jade is indeed jade, but jade is not necessarily jade. In the jewelry industry, jade includes: jade, nephrite, foam jade, jade, dushan jade, Huang Longyu, Ma Laiyu, agate, etc. Jade is just a kind of jade. The concepts of "jade" and "jade" are just like the concepts of "Pu 'er tea" and "tea". Pu 'er tea is also a kind of tea, but tea does not necessarily refer to Pu 'er tea. In the jewelry discipline, "jade" is a broad concept, including: jade, nephrite, foam jade, jadeite, dushan jade, Huang Longyu, Ma Laiyu, agate and so on. And "jade" refers to a kind of jade-jade. Jade belongs to jade, but jade is not necessarily jade.

Jade, as the king of jade, is the only internationally recognized gem-grade jade. Compared with other jade, it has six remarkable characteristics: rich color, stable physical properties, strong luster, high refractive index, heavy specific gravity and high hardness. In addition, gem-grade jadeite is only produced in a specific vein in Myanmar, and the uniqueness of the place of origin also determines its noble quality-"rare things are precious."

Four. Price difference between jadeite and jade

On the whole, the price of jadeite is the highest among all jadeites, followed by Hetian jade. In addition to the general quality of hetian jade, the price of high-quality hetian jade can also be comparable to that of upper-middle grade jade. Among all kinds of jade, jadeite and hetian jade should be regarded as the two most expensive jade varieties. In contrast, other jadeites, except jadeite and Hetian jade, have relatively low prices, and due to their own quality and consumer preferences, the prices will be different, some are slightly higher, some are slightly lower, and some are very low. Of course, not all jadeites are the most expensive. Some jadeites with poor quality are also very cheap, and some are only tens of yuan, which is lower than the average grade agate. At present, the domestic jade market is in a steady development stage, and the quality is also mixed. At present, in addition to the three major jade brands on the market, it is difficult to buy superior jade A goods with more collectible value in other places.

Five. Difference of hardness between jadeite and jade

The hardness of jadeite is about Mohs 7, and the hardness of jadeite is 12, so there are soft and hard points mentioned above. As early as the wild times, Hetian jade has become a sacred object of ancestors, and jade is called "Cui" in old age, which is completely incompatible with the concept of jade. One more thing, jade is the exclusive culture of our country. There are four kinds of ancient jade, namely Hetian jade, Xiuyu jade, lantian jade and dushan jade, among which Hetian jade is the most famous and popular.

Is jade good or jade good?

It doesn't have to be like this. Every kind of jade has color difference, and jade is not compared by category. Any kind of jade is the best and priceless; There are also low-priced junk. Different kinds of jade can't be measured by the same value, just as you said that no one knows the beauty of men and women. They are all one species, that is, men are more handsome than men, and women are more beautiful than women. Depends on which one you like. Radish and vegetables have their own tastes. Some people like tough and moist jadeite, some people like moist and tough Hetian jade, and some people like gorgeous agate.

1. Jade is called "the king of jade" and has high economic, collection and appreciation value. Emerald is bright, sparkling and amazing. Its colors are green, red, yellow or white, with platinum chain, which is in line with the mentality of middle-aged and elderly people who prefer wealth and young people who pursue fashion.

2. In terms of health care, jadeite is mainly composed of aluminum, silicon and sodium. It is a sodium aluminosilicate mineral and also contains trace amounts of calcium, magnesium, iron and chromium. Among them, iron and chromium can protect the heart and reduce arrhythmia. The good thermal conductivity of jadeite makes people feel cool after wearing it, which can make people feel comfortable and play a subtle role in regulating the body and mind.

Correct understanding of jadeite

Jade is a kind of jade and the most important one in the jade family. It's better to decide between jadeite and jade. The output of jadeite is small and unique, so jadeite is called "the king of jade". Color is the first factor to evaluate jadeite, and the criteria for good color are: positive, strong, clear and uniform.

That is to say, pure green, not doped with other colors. For example, oil-green jadeite is often mixed with oil blue, and its value will decrease;

Thick: refers to the depth of color. As far as emerald green is concerned, the concentration is preferably between 70% and 80%, and 90% is too strong;

Yang: It refers to the lightness of jade color. The brightness of jadeite is mainly determined by the ratio of green to black or gray. The brighter the jadeite, the higher its natural value.

Average: refers to the uniformity of jade color distribution. Generally, the color distribution of jadeite is uneven, so it is not easy to get jadeite with uniform color distribution.

The best color should be pure green, with a green concentration of 70%-80%, bright sunshine and uniform color distribution. This kind of high-grade jadeite habit is called old pit glass jadeite and old pit ice jadeite by experts. Color is the first factor to evaluate jadeite, but there are many factors that restrict the value of jadeite, such as the texture, water head and manufacturing technology of jadeite. Glass jadeite and ice jadeite have good water heads and belong to high-grade jadeite. For those who love jadeite, it is very beneficial to know more about the identification methods of jadeite.

Correct purchase of jadeite

Emerald has a long history in China and has been deeply loved by Chinese people. Emerald is rich in color, among which green is the top grade. Jade is a kind of jade. Jade has been regarded as a treasure since ancient times because of its delicate luster, smooth and delicate surface and bright color. Emerald is also called jadeite. The more high-end things, the fewer flaws, but the easier it is to be imitated by people. When it comes to jadeite, we have to talk about the old brands of the three jadeites. Many experienced players in the jade collection industry basically don't buy the three major jade brands. The main reason is that the water in this industry is too deep and there are too many fakes. Even experienced people will inevitably suffer. What's more, ordinary consumers? Therefore, friends who love jade must be cautious when purchasing products. Before buying, they must know more about jade, understand the market situation and identification method of jade.

Texture: you should buy glass products with good transparency, but avoid glass products (commonly known as materials). The key point of identification is that jadeite is partly foggy or mottled when it is transparent, while glass is not foggy or mottled and has bubbles. Green emeralds have shadows and green spots. The colors of glass products are basically the same.

Hardness: Jade is harder than porcelain, glass and other jade, so it can be used to cut glass. You can cut the glass in front of the seller if you buy it. If the seller does not agree, don't buy it easily.

Weight: Jade has a large proportion, which makes it feel heavy in your hand and light in the case of glass. Chinese jade has a large proportion of Henan jade, which is easy to pass off as jade, and its color is close to jade, so it needs comprehensive inspection.

Color: Anyone who is high green (especially gorgeous) or all green must be very cautious, because if it is genuine, its price is extremely high and it is impossible to sell it at normal price. If there are a few green heads with bright colors, that's good and the price is moderate. Single-piece size: the general jewelry area is about 3x 3cm, the pendant area is about 2x 2cm, and the decoration size can be arbitrary. However, pay attention to the thickness. The thickness of a block directly affects the transparency (commonly known as water head). If the transparency is very thin, the transparency will be very low. Generally, 3-5 mm can best identify the transparency, commonly known as 1 head, and it is good to have 1 head.

Workmanship: Pay attention to the craftsmanship of the watch (it is best to observe it with a magnifying glass of 4 times or more). The figure statue mainly depends on whether the face is correct and the facial features are reasonable; Animal statues look at whether the proportion of trunk and limbs is appropriate and whether the shape is natural; Carve to see if the lines are smooth and the layout is reasonable. Pay special attention to whether the concave-convex surface and bottom of the carving are polished smoothly. In addition, we should also carefully look at whether the line thickness is consistent, whether there is a broken knife or overlap. Watch out for cracks in things like bracelets.
