Jadeite Jade Quality
There are certain factors that one must consider while purchasing natural jadeite and original Jadeite Jade Type A gemstone. Many traders offer fake jadeite for sale at unreasonable prices. Origin, color, clarity, cut, and carat weight are the prominent factors that determine the quality of this gemstone and based on these parameters, the value, quality, and authenticity of the gemstone can be evaluated.
Origin
: The Mandalay region of Burma (Myanmar) is the significant source where one can find the most sought-after variety of Jadeite. The other sought-after Jadeite gemstones are also found in California, Japan, Canada, Guatemala, Kazakhstan, Russia, Turkey, Cuba, and the USA. The precious Imperial Jadeite stone price is extremely high as compared to other Jadeite varieties and is only found in Myanmar, Burma.
Color
: Color is the important quality factor to access Jadeite value. Other factors including color consistency, intensity in color, and saturation are equally important. Jadeite stone with excellent translucency and less visible spots or veins on the surface is considered more valuable. The most striking and valuable variety of Jadeite Jade is an emerald green Jadeite which is popularly known as Imperial Jadeite. It is one of the most expensive gemstones.
Clarity
: The level of translucency, texture, and inclusion determine the Jadeite clarity. Natural Jadeite with good translucency and smooth texture increases the Jadeite price. The least valuable Jadeite is completely opaque or has cloudy patches that break the translucency of the Jadeite stone.
Cut
: Jadeite is usually cut as cabochons, but oval shape jadeite and round shape Jadeite are also popular with buyers. Pear and other mixed shapes can also be found for the gem. A good quality Jadeite can be found in a number of shapes with fine symmetry. When cut into cabochons, the buyers consider symmetry, proportion, and thickness to determine the Type A Jadeite stone price.
Carat Weight
: Top-quality Jadeites with a slight difference in size create a huge variation in the Jadeite Jade price. Natural Jadeite with consistent color is rare to find in nature. Therefore, Jadeite price per carat increases exponentially for gems above a few carats. With a slight difference in the size of the finest quality Imperial Jadeite, a large difference is made in the Imperial Jade price per carat.
