Understanding Jadeite Quality

The quality of Jadeite is determined by its texture, translucency, and color. Its finest forms exhibit a smooth, compact grain, exceptional light penetration, and vibrant hues, while natural flaws like cracks, lines, or inclusions add character and uniqueness to each piece.

Types of Jadeite

Jadeite is categorized into natural and treated varieties: Type A, untouched by chemicals; Type B, chemically treated for clarity; Type C, dyed for enhanced color; and Type B+C, both treated and dyed. Identifying these types requires an understanding of their distinct visual and physical properties.
