Have you ever seen such a kind of jadeite, the color is quite green but the transparency is not high, the price is not expensive, the merchant will tell you that it is called "dry green"!
You may think that such a cheap jadeite must be fake! In fact, the merchant really did not lie to you, dry green is really a kind of low-end jadeite, surprise it!
As the name suggests it is really dry! It is a nearly green emerald with bright colors and rough textures. The surface looks dry, the gloss is also very poor, the sound is dry and dull when tapping, and the light is very opaque under the illumination, which also shows that the dry green species is very poor and has no aura.
All the dry green can almost clearly see its crystal particles. Occasionally, there are yellow or black spots that look like dyed marble. Because the dried green crystal flesh is relatively loose, the so-called glass luster cannot be reached after polishing.
This kind of dry green belongs to the newly developed varieties in the jadeite market, which does not meet the standards of jewelry grade, and it is impossible to produce jadeite certificates.
Only the old dry green produced in the old mine can meet the criteria for issuing a jadeite certificate. It is roughly divided into four varieties: iron dragon, old dry green, bean green, and flower blue. This kind of old dry green still has a certain collection value.
In the market, in order to express the color of dry green and a small amount of water, it is usually processed into a very thin state, and then the substrate is inlaid with metal to protect the already thin jadeite from breaking. The crafts such as pendants and ring noodles processed by this process are still very beautiful.
Green symbolizes the exuberance of life. Dry green color dark green, elegant and chic suitable for gentle and generous literary girls, the style is simple and fashion goddess Fan is full. With its people-friendly price, it shows its unique sharp edge in the crowd.
