Emerald price assessment depends on the color

With the rising market of jade in recent years and the increasing desire for jade purchase, how to evaluate its value when purchasing jade? We all know that color is the most intuitive and easily identifiable property of gemstone, and it is usually its value. Jade is no exception. Color is the most important basis for judging its value.

There are many kinds of jade colors, the most white and gray, the highest value is green, purple, in addition to red, yellow, brown, blue, black and so on.

White jade is often found in large areas in mineral deposits. There are certain kinds of white jade micro glass and ice jade in the market. Although these white jade have no color, they are very popular because of their fine texture and good water head.

Gray is often seen as dirty in jade, with no value. If gray appears in valuable jade, it will only reduce the original value.

Green jade is the highest value in jade. When the experts buy raw materials, they often say how much color the material has. The color refers to the green color, and the color is high. First look at how much the color of the material can be worth, and then estimate how much color the whole block can have to determine the value of the whole piece. It can be seen that the value of green is the foundation of jadeite value.

But the green is too rare. In the large white jade, the green is just a little bit of a little bit of it. The green jade is mostly veined in the white jade, which the experts call "belts", a large piece of white jade material. Can have a thin green belt, this piece of raw materials can be worth a hundred times, if there can be a group of green than the fist a little, then the buyer can be rich overnight.

Why are some of the same jadeites white and some green? The original green part of the jade is caused by the coloring elements chromium and iron. The colored ions of iron and chromium replace the colorless aluminum ions. The iron ions are often light green, the chromium ions will show very bright green, and the high-grade green is Due to the formation of chromium ions. But if there is too much chrome, the green of the jade will become too thick and look like black, but the value will be much lower. Due to the different proportions of chromium and iron, jadeite will present a variety of different greens, with pure emerald green, yellowish, bluish, and grayish green, and different green values.

Purple jade is also called violet, and experts also call it "spring." Purple also has a lot of shades, the common ones are partial powder and purple with a bluish tint. Purple often has a large area in the emerald, forming a mass like a cloud, sometimes with a vein-like green color in the purple. Usually the value of purple jade is lower than green, one is good on the purple jade ring face, the seed is fine and moist, the color is thick and even, the particles are huge, the value is about 300,000 yuan, and the green of the same quality, the value should be hundreds Ten thousand yuan.

There is also a kind of pink jade, quite rare, like the base of the jade mountain "Peach Blossom Spring" is pink jade.

Both yellow and red jadeites are called "翡", that is, "黄翡" and "红翡". Yellow and red are generally found in the outer skin of jadeite, except for the large crack distribution of jadeite.

Yellow has yellowish yellow, brownish yellow, and honey yellow. Among them, the pure honey has the highest value. This kind of honey is only found in the pure colorless glass and the outer layer of ice jade, so it is rare.

The red emerald has a reddish brown color and a reddish color. The pure red color without the brown tone is the highest. The need to pay attention to the purchase of red jade is not to treat burnt red scorpion as a natural red cricket. Some red is burnt later. This red color is often unnatural and the seeds are thicker. This is the color formed by heating after adding limonite.
