Being able to master the classification standard of jadeite seed water is often a stepping stone to enter the jadeite industry. The type of jadeite refers to the texture, and the moisture refers to the degree of moisture. Jade seed water is divided into glass seed, high ice seed, jelly seed, ice seed, wax ice seed, hibiscus seed, wax seed and bean seed from high to low. Let's first understand the classification method of jadeite seed water.

Classification of jadeite seed water

1, glass: as transparent as jade glass, it will have obvious glass luster after polishing. The foundation is clean, there are no defects such as cotton wool, and the jade surface will fluoresce with the naked eye.

2. High-grade ice: the base contains a little cotton, which is not as clean as glass, but it will also have obvious glass luster and fluorescence after polishing.

3, jelly type: looks like jelly, the most obvious feature is that it is covered with glue, which is called "glue" in the industry. Jelly seeds can't see the cotton inside with naked eyes, but they have the best glue feeling and no fluorescence.

4. Ice species: As water turns into ice, it looks "three-point temperature and seven-point cold" to the naked eye. The base of ice seeds is cotton, which is foggy, blocky and flocculent.

5, waxy ice species: the transparency is close to the ice species, like frozen glutinous rice soup, the jade base is slightly turbid. It is translucent, and it can be seen that the internal structure is hazy and the cotton wool has melted inside.

6, hibiscus flower species: the naked eye looks like a hazy, seamless texture. The background color of hibiscus species is mostly light green, giving people a bright feeling.

7. Waxy seeds: The cotton wool inside the waxy jadeite is not melted, giving people the texture of cooked glutinous rice, with visible crystals inside and low transparency.

8. Bean seeds: The texture of bean seeds is rough, and the outline of internal crystals can be seen by naked eyes, and the color is dull and completely opaque.

The reason why jadeite is expensive

The price of jadeite is expensive mainly because there are few jadeites in the world, and the origin is mainly from Myanmar. Due to a large number of mining in recent years, its output is getting less and less, coupled with high mining costs, increasing demand and high natural prices. Another is that it has a long history and cultural heritage in China. In China a long time ago, jadeite was widely used and played an irreplaceable role in the market. Emerald belongs to a kind of jadeite. Its material is hard and dense, more suitable for ordinary wear, with high transparency and purity. It is popular in the jade gambling stone market.
