C goods are actually more expensive than A goods? Decipher the top ten misunderstandings of jade

In the concept of many friends, Emerald A goods must be the best and most expensive, B goods C goods are the worst and cheapest, this concept is not completely correct, not completely wrong, but it must be problematic.

Here we take you to see why C goods will be more expensive than A goods, and at the same time introduce the top ten misunderstandings of jade.

Terminology interpretation

A goods: in addition to cutting, grinding, polishing, waxing, natural jade without other artificial treatment

B goods: jadeite treated with pickling and filling

C goods: B+C jadeite is also commonly found in the dyed jade market, and there are also B goods.

First, A goods must be more expensive than C goods?

Wrong, some C goods are more expensive than A goods. Jade A goods only refer to natural jade without excessive manual treatment, and the quality of natural jade, of course, is good or bad, such as:

低端翡翠A货珠子

Low-end jade A cargo beads

Another example is this:

高端翡翠挂件

High-end jade pendant

These are all A cargo jade.

What does B+C look like?

B+C货翡翠

B+C goods jade

Is it better than those low-end A goods?

Therefore, this problem is not difficult to understand, the low-end A goods are cheaper than the B+C goods, not the A goods will be good.

Second, the sale of expensive is the real thing?

The market retail price of A-Jade bracelets ranges from tens of yuan to several hundred million, while the retail price of B+C goods is between 100 and 1,000 yuan, and even can reach 10,000 yuan, depending on whether the merchants put B +C goods are sold as A goods.

高端翡翠A货手镯

High-end jade A cargo bracelet

B+C货翡翠手镯

B+C goods jade bracelet

Third, B goods C goods are highly toxic?

One of the remarks that I often hear now is that B+C goods are poisonous jadeites, but in fact this kind of remarks exaggerate the harmfulness of B+C goods jadeite.

Also plagued by dyed agate, the dyeing of agate has been proved by the relevant departments that it will not cause harm to the human body under normal wearing conditions.

However, you should beware of being deceived and buying B+C jade that pretends to be A.

Fourth, color is more important than water?

actually not. In the line, there has always been a sentence called "the insider to see the water, the layman to see the color."

颜色好但发干的翡翠

Good color but dry jade

At the same price, ordinary people buy jadeite often choose bright colors and dry texture, while experts choose to plant better water and sacrifice color. This is because the jadeite is always fine and firm. With a moisturizing sense of jade, it is more fun to play and collect.

种水好的无色翡翠

Good colorless jade

Of course, personal preferences are also factors that must be considered.

5. China's Yunnan produces jade?

This is also a misunderstanding.

Many friends think that jade is produced in Tengchong, Yunnan.

But in fact, the gem-grade jade is currently only in Myanmar.

The conditions for the formation of jadeite are very demanding. Now studies have shown that high-temperature and low-pressure oceanic subduction geological belts can be produced. Myanmar and Guatemala have qualified production sites, but Guatemala has not produced gem-quality jadeite.

Sixth, people can nourish jade

This is also a misunderstanding that many people will have.

In fact, as a mineral, jadeite is shaped and changed by geological movements, and the environment and later changes are carried out under relatively high temperatures and pressures that are not accessible to ordinary people.

The environment in which ordinary people live is not up to the standard of jade, and the feeling of human jade is mostly due to the fact that the body oil in the usual wearing process forms a patina on the surface of the jade to make it look brighter. Caused.

Seven, jade is afraid of bumps?

This is a question that many people will have.

At the time of maintenance, we advocate that jade should be carefully cared for and avoid bumps.

But in fact, the hardness of jadeite reaches 7 degrees Mohs, the internal fiber is interwoven structure, tight and strong, it can be said that good quality jade is not easy to bump, the better the quality, the stronger the jade, unless it is hit hard Generally not easy to damage.

Eight, Yunnan jade is cheaper?

Yunnan is indeed close to Myanmar, and China’s jadeite is mainly imported from Myanmar from Yunnan.

But Yunnan's jadeite is not necessarily the cheapest.

First, if it is in an attraction rather than a professional market, jadeite tends to have a higher markup, and there are many fakes, and the quality is uneven.

Second, influenced by the process, Yunnan's local rough stones and bracelets may be cheaper than the mainland. However, jade products such as pendants are often shipped to Guangdong for processing and then shipped back for sale. Therefore, jade pendants are cheaper in Guangdong.

9. Is the seed material better than the mountain material?

The mountain seed material is a concept derived from Hetian jade.

The mountain material refers to the jade raw material extracted from the ore, and the seed material refers to the jade raw material that is abraded by the river.

Probably speaking, because the seed material is transported by the river, the loose parts are removed, and most of the seed material is better than the mountain material. In fact, there is also jade quality in the seed material, so the seed material cannot be superseded when purchased. The argument should be judged from the texture.

X. Does Jade have a long history?

Many people think that in the very old days, China has a history of wearing jade.

However, in fact, after investigation and research by experts, it was found that China’s hobby of jade was officially raised, and the use of jade in the Qing Dynasty was recorded in the Qing Dynasty.

In ancient China, jade actually refers to a kind of green-haired bird. The many processes of jade processing are also inherited from Hetian jade.
