As a beloved gemstone, the quality and value of jadeite often depend on its head and species. The water head, also known as transparency, refers to the ability of light to transmit light inside the jadeite; Species refers to the internal structure and texture of jadeite. While both of these are closely related to the quality of jadeite, there are distinct differences between them.
First, let's look at the emerald head. The water head of jadeite is divided into four grades: transparent, translucent, slightly transparent and opaque. The difference in transparency directly affects the perception and value of jadeite. The higher the transparency of the jadeite, the stronger the ability of light to pass through it, making the jadeite present a clear, crystalline feeling. This type of jadeite tends to be bright in color, has a strong luster, and is relatively valuable. Jadeite, on the other hand, has a relatively low value due to the difficulty of light penetration, and its internal color and texture are often blurred.
The species of jadeite refers to its internal structure and texture. The species of jadeite are divided into multiple grades such as glass, ice, waxy, and bean. Different species of jadeite have obvious differences in their internal structure and texture. For example, the internal structure of glass jadeite is compact and delicate, and it is as transparent as glass; Ice jadeite presents an ice-cube-like texture, with a clear and uniform internal texture; Waxy jadeite is like glutinous rice, the internal structure is slightly rough, but it still has a certain transparency; On the other hand, bean jadeite has a coarse internal texture, very low transparency, and relatively low value.
After understanding the basic concepts of jadeite heads and species, let's learn how to distinguish them. In fact, to distinguish between the head and the species of jadeite, you need to use some professional tools and skills. Among them, the most commonly used tool is the flashlight. By observing the size and shape of the spot formed by the flashlight inside the jadeite, we can roughly judge the transparency and species of the jadeite. Generally speaking, the higher the transparency of the jadeite, the larger and more uniform the light spot; The better the jadeite, the clearer and more delicate the structure and texture inside the spot.
In addition to flashlights, we can also observe the internal structure and texture of jadeite with the help of tools such as magnifying glasses, microscopes, etc. These tools can help us to see the details and characteristics inside the jadeite more clearly, so that we can more accurately determine its head and species.
Of course, in order to truly master the skill of distinguishing between jadeite head and species, you also need to have a wealth of practical experience and professional knowledge. Because jadeite is a natural gemstone, its internal structure and texture changes are very complex and diverse, and jadeite of different origins and different qualities have their own unique characteristics and rules. Therefore, in order to become a real jadeite appraiser, you not only need to master basic theoretical knowledge, but also need to accumulate experience and improve skills through a lot of practice.
In short, the head and species of jadeite are one of the important indicators to evaluate its quality and value. By mastering the basic concepts and distinguishing skills, we can better appreciate and identify the beauty and value of jadeite. At the same time, it is also necessary to pay attention to continuous learning and practice, and constantly improve their identification level and skills.
