Jade is indeed jade, but jade is not necessarily jade. Jade is the king of jade and the gem-grade jade with the highest international recognition. It has many incomparable characteristics and advantages compared with other jade varieties. On the whole, the price of jadeite is the highest among all jadeites, and Hetian jade is the second highest. In addition to the general quality of hetian jade, the price of high-quality hetian jade can also be comparable to that of middle-grade jadeite.

Emerald is also called jadeite, and the explanations of nephrite and jadeite in many other places are not exact enough. Gloss is one of the biggest differences between jadeite and nephrite. The surface of nephrite presents a greasy luster with different strengths, which is soft and moist, while the reflective luster of jadeite presents a rigid glass luster with a cold chill. The hardness of jadeite is obviously lower than jadeite. Carving the jade surface with sharp objects can produce scratches, but the jade will not be damaged.
