Posted on by kingjy

Jadeite is a very common type of jade in the jewelry market, and its quality is identified by the so-called land, water, and species.

“Earth” refers to the background color of jade, or “bottom”, which is a description of the condition of the substrate to which the color of jade is attached. The north called it “dizi”, and the south called it “di Zhang”. For example, if there is emerald green like a green pepper on the fine white ground, it can be called “white ground green” or “white background green”. Generally speaking, the parts of jadeite except emerald green are called “dizi”.

The quality of the ground has a very important relationship with the value of jade. The jade ground can be divided into: “glass ground”, “ice ground”, “lotus root powder ground”, “bean green ground”, “purple flower ground”, “blue and white ground”, “fine white ground”, “porcelain ground” , “Dry white ground”, “dog shit ground” and dozens of other types. “Glass ground” refers to the transparency as glass, generally colorless, and is the best ground among jadeites: “Ice ground” refers to the ground that is as transparent as ice, and ice ground jade is also a high-quality ground. There is often a surface on ice ground jade. This kind of “flooding” phenomenon, called “lighting” in the industry, is very beautiful. These two kinds of jade are of better quality and are very popular among people. Sometimes the concepts of “kind” and “land” are easy to confuse. Some people call them “glass kind”, “ice kind”, “bean kind” and so on.

“Water” is also called “water head”, which refers to the transparency of jadeite. The jade with good transparency is called “head foot” or “long head”; jade with poor transparency is called “short head” or “no head”. It can also be divided into “one-part water” and “two-part water” according to the different light transmission ability of jade of a certain thickness. Most jadeites are opaque or translucent, and the transparent ones are extremely. rare. The higher the transparency of jadeite, the greater the water head, the higher its quality and the higher its value.

“Species” refers to the comprehensive influence of jadeite’s mineral composition, color, structure, and transparency on the quality of jadeite, and is also called “species” or “germplasm”. Some people divide the “species” of jade into “old pit species”, “tianlong species”, “white ground green species”, “flower green species”, “hibiscus species”, “golden silk species”, “bean species”, ” Blue flower ice species”, “permeable white species”, “dry white species”, “wide film species”, “eight three species”, “violet species”, “oil green species”, “blue water species”, “dry green species” Species” and many other varieties. Among them, “old pit species” is used to describe jadeite with good color, high transparency, uniform texture, and delicate. It is the name for the most high-end jade, and is generally used as the ring face of high-end rings; “permeable white species” refers to the glass floor And ice jade; “oil green species” refers to the greener, the color is not correct, and the gray.
