Jade has international and domestic recognized values. In addition to the traditional classification of old species, new species, and new and old species, people further refined the classification of jadeite species based on their texture, color, transparency, and other characteristics: glass species, ice species, deuterium species, and hibiscus species. Bean seed and so on. The following will introduce the characteristics of several common jadeite species to enrich everyone's collection knowledge.

The old pit glass species, as the name implies, has a shiny glass-like appearance, high transparency, high head, compact structure, small particles, pure and bright colors, fine texture, and rare pit glass. It is the best in jade. It is worth noting that not all glass species are precious. Nowadays, the common glass species are the Xinkeng glass species. The most representative of the whetstones, although also called glass species, is of low value.

Ice species, transparency and head are slightly worse than the old pit glass species, a little more impurities, as transparent as ice, is also relatively high-end jade. The best quality ice species is known by the industry as high ice species. It has high transparency and relatively few impurities, but it has not reached the quality of glass species. The best ice species are often sold as glass species, but compared to glass species, the ice species are only three-point warm, but seven-point cold.

Deuterium species, transparency and transparency are lower than the ice species, more impurities, because it looks like cooked glutinous rice. It can be subdivided into glutinous ice and glutinous rice. The ice species are like the ice with many impurities, while the glutinous rice species is less transparent. The inside is often distributed with subtle impurities, impure and turbid.

Hibiscus species, its color is generally light green, does not contain yellow tone, the color is more pure, elegant, but also relatively high-grade jade, it is slightly grainy structure, but do not see the obvious boundaries, was translucent or transparent shape. It is the first step in making bracelets, and because it is affordable, it is easily accepted by the public.

Bean seed is a kind of image name. When the jadeite particles are large and visible to the naked eye, they look like a green bean, hence the bean seed. The bean seed is the most common jadeite variety, and it has the words of “green, blue, and yellow beans”. Soybeans can be further subdivided into: ice beans, jelly beans, beans, beans, etc., because of their common varieties, low prices and popular.

In addition, there are varieties of jade such as cyanine seed, oil seed seed, dry seed seed, horse tooth seed, violet seed, ink cui et al.
