Some consumers will feel that white jadeite is slightly dull, and jadeite mainly pays attention to a transparency, but is opaque white jadeite really worthless?
White jadeite is relatively rare compared to other colors of jadeite, in addition, relative to other jadeite, its chemical composition is also relatively simple, it has only one component, that is, sodium aluminosilicate, so white jadeite belongs to the primary color of jadeite, other colors of jadeite are through the white jadeite and then into the chemical composition of the evolution of discoloration. So the color formed by the primary color, so that in a long period of time, its mining amount is more, and for jade once the amount is more, it means that the uniqueness is not high, so the value is low, until the end of the last century, people mined more close to colorless or glass species, ice species such as water good jadeite, white jadeite gradually into the consumer's sight, the texture of this jadeite is delicate and smooth, high transparency, and even with the light after the screen, As a result, they are gradually sought after by many collectors.
Over the years, the price of white jadeite has been rising, but is white jadeite valuable? It is mainly determined according to its specific texture. When the quality of white jadeite is below the bean species, its texture is rough, and the impurities inside can be seen, giving people a dull, stagnant feeling, and the value is not high.
Isn't opaque jadeite bad? Not necessarily, some jadeite is transparent but not necessarily good, and opaque does not mean that it is not good. Jadeite is polycrystalline, mostly translucent or even opaque. It is impossible to be as transparent as a single crystal gemstone like emerald, so that light can pass freely and appear very crystalline. And the value of jadeite is not only related to transparency, its color can also affect the value of jadeite, for jadeite, the price of good color may be more than ten times more expensive, and planting good may only be a little more expensive. That's it for the value of white emeralds, I hope it will help you!
