Jade and jadeite are two things that we often see in our daily lives. Although they may be quite familiar, many people cannot actually distinguish between the two. Some people say that jade is jadeite, while others say that jadeite is jade, which makes the difference between jade and jadeite more blurred. So what is the difference between these two things? Let’s learn about it with the editor today!
- Different concepts
In the jewelry industry, the concept of “jade” is a very large category, which includes the common Hotan Jade, Huanglong jade, jadeite and agate, and almost all the jade materials. And “jade” is different, it is just one type of “jade” in the general category. It is not difficult to see from this that the category of jade is much larger than that of jade. Jade is just one type of jade, just like the concept of Tie Guanyin being just one type of tea.
- Different prices
As is well known, the price of jade is very expensive, and jadeite, as a central component of jade, is even more expensive, almost the most expensive type of jade among all. That’s why we see the scene in life where most jadeite is more expensive than jade. Among the jades, the only one that can compare with jadeite in price is probably Hotan Jade, which is of good quality.
- Different material components
Jade mostly belongs to jadeite, mainly composed of silicate aluminum sodium and mineral components, while jade includes jadeite and nephrite, so its composition is much more than jade.
