Color classification of hetian jade
1, white jade refers to white nephrite. Traditional jewelry circles have different names for different degrees of white nephrite, such as suet white, pear white, snowflake white, ivory white, fishbone white, brown rice white, chicken bone white and so on. Among them, sheep fat white (like solidified fat) is the best, which is unique to Hetian jade. The amount of suet white jade is very small and its value is very high. Most of the white jade in Hotan is ordinary white jade, but white jade should be white and moist. If it is white but moist, it is dead white, not fine jade.
2. Blue white jade refers to nephrite between white jade and sapphire, which is white but not white, and green and not green. The ancients used this name.
Jasper is green to dark green nephrite, sometimes with black spots. Its greens are Ying Ge Green, Song Hualv, Ginkgo Green and so on. As far as the position of Hetian jade in China ancient jade is concerned, what is transparent and moist like spinach is the top grade, and what is gray in green is the bottom grade, but it is by no means jasper or jasper in seasonal jade. Good jasper is as beautiful as jade, and ancient women often use jasper as their headdress. The story of Hosta is an example.
