The difference between Hetian jade and jadeite, which is more expensive and more valuable

Hetian jade is nephrite jade in the material of jade, jadeite is jadeite, this is the difference between the two in essence, about the comparison in value, Hetian jade and jadeite is the jade world of Yuliang, the two are equally precious, Hetian jade and jadeite have their own merits, in the price of "the benevolent see the benevolent, the wise see the wise". However, in terms of price, the price of first-class jadeite is more expensive than that of first-class Hetian jade. Hetian jade and jadeite are both very precious jade, we can't measure which is more expensive at the same level, and we can't just measure the two by the selling price.

The main production area of Hetian jade is the Hotan region of Xinjiang, China, which has a very long history in China, and is called the "national stone", which shows the status and history of Hetian jade in China. There are many types of Hetian jade, and there will be different classification methods according to the shape and color, and the texture and ** will be very different. Among them, the most precious Hetian jade is mutton fat white jade.

This kind of Hetian jade is very expensive, about tens of thousands of yuan a gram. Other grades of Hetian jade** probably range from a few thousand yuan to a few hundred yuan.

Jadeite is a foreign item, the origin is in China's southern neighbor - Myanmar, it is considered to be imported jade, but it is also because it is a neighboring country, so it has a long history of introduction in China. The color of jadeite is mainly emerald green, and the color and texture are different, and there will be different grades. Although the ancestors of jadeite are not in our country, the status of jadeite is not low, and it can compete with our "national stone" Hetian jade.

But compared from the **, the highest-grade Hetian jade** will be slightly lower than the jadeite, but the value of the two themselves cannot be measured by ** alone.

The difference between Hetian jade and jadeite.

Whether Hetian jade is expensive or jadeite needs to be comprehensively assessed according to the specific situation of the physical object.

On the whole, jadeite is the highest jade among all jade, and the second highest overall jade belongs to Hetian jade; Among the jadeite, the glass imperial green jadeite is the most valuable, and Hetian jade is the best mutton fat jade; But their types are different, each has its own advantages, the quality is different, and the difference is also large, there is no comparison, mainly depends on personal preferences; Some people like jadeite, while others like Hetian jade.

Hetian jade

Hetian jade is a kind of nephrite jade, which has two biggest characteristics: one is that its jade quality is particularly delicate, and the other is that its quality is particularly warm and moist, with oil luster, and its transparency is also very good, with few impurities. Jadeite is a kind of jadeite, also called Burmese jade, jade is crystal clear, especially beautiful.

If Hetian jade and jadeite are of the same grade, Hetian jade is cheaper than jadeite. Because jadeite has a higher international recognition than Hetian jade, the market for jadeite is vast and promising. And Hetian jade is not as well-known in the international arena as jadeite, so Hetian jade's ** is slightly cheaper than jadeite.

The ** of Hetian jade and jadeite cannot be accurately compared. Because if the quality of Hetian jade is good enough, the color and luster are very good, it must be more expensive, after all, quality is the key.

Jadeite is more expensive than Hetian jade.

Although the value of both is about the same, the same grade of jadeite ** is relatively higher, and the international recognition is higher than that of Hetian jade. The color of jadeite is richer than that of Hetian jade, but the collection value of good quality jadeite and Hetian jade is very high. Compared with Hetian jade, jadeite has a relatively poor toughness and is easy to break after being hit.

Hetian jade is a kind of nephrite jade, which has two biggest characteristics: one is that its jade quality is particularly delicate, and the other is that its quality is particularly warm and luster. Moreover, it is also very transparent and has few impurities. Jadeite is a kind of jadeite, also called Burmese jade, jade is crystal clear, especially beautiful.

Grading of jadeite

1. Transparency.

The transparency levels of jadeite are divided into five categories, which are transparent, sub-transparent, translucent, slightly transparent, and opaque. Among them, the fully transparent jadeite is the best, the reflection observation of the internal convergence light intensity, the convergence of light spots is bright, the transmission observation of most of the light can be transmitted, and the internal features are clearly visible.

2. Texture. According to the particle division of the constituent minerals, jadeite can be divided into five grades, from highest to lowest: very fine, fine, fine, coarse, and coarse. Among them, the highest grade of jadeite has a very delicate and dense texture, and only mineral particles are visible under a ten-fold magnifying glass.

3. Clarity. The clarity of jadeite is also divided into five grades, from highest to lowest, which are very pure, pure, relatively pure, still pure and impure. Among them, the highest grade has no visible internal and external characteristics with the naked eye, or only dots and flocculents with a weak sense of existence, which has no impact on the overall beauty of jadeite.

4. Color. In terms of colored jadeite, according to the length of the color intensity, it can be divided into five levels, from high to low, it is extremely concentrated, thick, thicker, lighter and lighter, among which the highest grade is dark green under the reflected light, and the color is intense, and it is dark green under the transmitted light.

Brightness refers to the brightness and darkness of the jadeite color, which is usually divided into four levels, in order of bright, brighter, darker and darker, among which the highest grade of jadeite has a bright and bright color, and the gray scale is basically imperceptible.

Jadeite is a bit more expensive than Hetian jade, although both are of similar value.

1. Different physical properties: the refractive index and relative density of Hetian jade are smaller than that of jadeite, which can be accurately determined and distinguished by conventional gemological methods such as refractometer spot measurement method, specific gravity liquid (or hydrostatic weighing method).

2. The way of appreciating colors is different: the common colors of Hetian jade are blue and white. Appreciating the color of Hetian jade depends on whether the color gives people a clean and comfortable feeling, and whether the color is uniform and bright.

The oily and uniform Hetian jade formula is the top grade. The color of jadeite is rich, and the color of high-quality jadeite is bright and full, and the color of jadeite should pay attention to saturation.

3. The difference in craftsmanship: jadeite is mostly carved into figures, landscapes, flowers and birds, etc., Hetian jade is mostly made into jade pendants, jade bracelets, and some jade brands made of Hetian jade have high collection value.

Generally, it is easy to shatter after some impact.

Jadeite is a very typical jadeite, while Hetian jade belongs to nephrite.

Hetian jade is cheaper than jadeite, but the ** of the two is also about the same.

Summary. On the whole, the value of jadeite is many times higher than that of Hetian jade. However, in the Hetian jade and jade families, there are sky-high products, as well as products with cabbage prices, from the appearance, nephrite jade appears warm and delicate, and the texture is mild, like a tender Jiangnan woman.

The jadeite is transparent and bright, and the texture is hard, giving people a very domineering feeling, like a general who goes to the battlefield to fight; Both have their own merits, high and low, it is really difficult to distinguish between high and low. Low-key and introverted people may prefer Hetian jade; And those who like the luxurious atmosphere may prefer jadeite.

Hope it helps.

Hetian jade in a narrow sense refers to the jade produced in the Hotan area of Xinjiang, and nephrite in a broad sense, which is the first foot of dolomite marble formed after hundreds of millions of years of alteration, and jadeite refers to a fibrous aggregate composed of pyroxene minerals dominated by jadeite minerals, so which is the best age of Hetian jade and jadeite, and what is the difference? Interested readers can read on.

1. Hetian jade belongs to a kind of nephrite, jadeite belongs to a kind of jadeite, the two are different types of jade, the composition, characteristics, appearance, color are different, in their respective fields have their own merits, can not be arbitrarily said which one is better.

2. Different compositions: Hetian jade contains tremolite, hornblende, actinolite and other mineral aggregates, and jadeite contains hornblende, feldspar, chromite, limonite and other substances.

3. Different characteristics: the toughness of Hetian jade is the strongest in jade, the hardness is , the refractive index, and the hardness of jadeite is , the refractive index.

4. Different appearance: Hetian jade has a soft color, very few impurities throughout the body, uniform color, luster such as grease, and the luster of jadeite is glass luster to grease luster, mostly translucent to opaque.

5. Different colors: The color of Hetian jade is mostly light-colored, and the common colors are yellow, white, blue, blue, ink, etc., and the colors of jadeite are varied, generally red, orange, yellow, green, blue, blue, and purple.
