Love your passion for jade!!! Your informative segments are so helpful to jade newbies like myself. I’ve been searching online and looking through RU-vid segments to learn more about jade. Your videos on jades are definitely among the few truly knowledgeable and practical ones. Thanks very much for making these videos and sharing them. I got several great Ming’s pieces from family which I absolutely loved, so my jade journey started with getting more Ming’s pieces. I then branched out to unsigned large vintage jade pendants and necklaces. That’s when I started to have all the questions and doubts. I know what I’m dealing with now, jade-like stones, stimulants.
yu is actually jadeite and nephrite aswell as in some areas any valuable jade like stone such as chalcedony and chysophase by the way yu also means fish
Hi there! At the moment, icy green-blue jadeite jade beads are still selling for less than icy green, lavender or ice (colorless). However, as more customers see how beautiful this color is, we hope to see it’s value increase in the future.
"yù" is not pronounced "you" but it's just pronounced like a french "u" or german "ü", the "y" part isn't really actually pronounced, it's just pronounced like "ü" "fei cui" is pronounced like "fey tswey"
I am a sales manager for a very large mining company in Yemen specialized in jade stones, as the company owns the best types of raw, imperial, transparent and jealous jade
I had several jade Red, apple Green, And yelow jade, when I brought ít just white color wearers it for while then it changed some green colors on yelow jade and red , what do you think's what caused to do that?
Hi there! I’m not sure about your particular circumstance, but you might be interested in watching our “Colors of Jadeite with Mason-Kay Jade” video where we discuss how the polish on jade can change over time from the wearing away of beeswax and the absorption of the wearer’s skin oils. If any viewers reading this have thoughts on jade changing color, I would love to hear your opinions!
The best way to test genuine jade or nephrite; placed a one strand of hair on the surface holding it tight in a circumference position, light a lighter and if the hair won't burn it is genuine, untreated, natural jade or nephrite.
Hi there! Thank you for your comment :) I actually address this in my recent video on jade “myth-busting.” While this is commonly believed and may be able to distinguish crystalline material from glass, it’s actually not a reliable testing method for jade, unfortunately. The science says that any crystalline material (gemstone) will not burn, meaning it won’t distinguish jade from other stones. I, however, have not had consistent results with this method, likely due to variables pertaining to the hair or the type of lighter. Wish it worked! But really, the only reliable testing is spectroscopy.
@@JewelsoftheTrade I'm here in New Zealand and we got the best nephrite jade 🙂and all of my jade not a single hair would burn 🙂 we only have here natural , untreated nephrite Jade.
@@danp.torreja2777 Exactly! 😊 The hair won’t burn on nephrite jade. But it also won’t burn on quartz, B Jade, serpentine, etc. Would love to have some New Zealand jade. It’s so gorgeous!
@@JewelsoftheTrade We have the rarest nephrite Jade, the kahurangi greenstone, translucent, feather like inclusion and we name it the "clear in the sky" pounamo 🙂
@@danp.torreja2777 Love! I just bought the book “Stone, Bone and Jade” to learn more about pounamu. I would like to learn enough to make a video about New Zealand jade! If you have any recommendations on carvers, education, etc - please let me know!! 😊
Love me some Hetian / Khotan jade! I believe any nephrite can now be called "Hetian Jade" in China, even coming from Canada and other sources. Nephrite can range quite a bit in value and color. You might be interested in my Types of Jade video series with Freshwater Jade!
Thanks for sharing the facts! Just want to correct the pronunciation of jade in Mandarin - the ‘u’ sound is pronounced quite differently from the English ‘u’, as it’s actually the ‘ü’ sound. It’s probably one of the hardest pronunciation in Mandarin (alongside the ‘q’ and ‘x’ sounds), as there is no direct equivalent pronunciation in other languages. This is the proper way to pronounce 玉. m.ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-8ewqOTfZxyc.html
