Identification method of purple turquoise jade

Violets grow jadeite (also known as violet jade). There is a saying in the industry that "red flies, green and purple are expensive".

Yu Pei's color changes a little after wearing it, but it doesn't necessarily turn red. The red and green violets in jadeite have the color of violets themselves and have not changed. Purple was called imperial color in ancient China. From the Emperor Wei Zi to the Forbidden City, from the purple gas that Laozi went through customs to the purple ribbon, purple jade shows the sacred and noble status of purple. Real high-quality purple jade is not as good as green jade.

Purple jade is also called violet jade, which is used to be called "spring" in the industry. This very special jade is generally lighter in color, like the purple of violet flowers, hence its name.

Purple jadeite will appear purple when viewed in general yellow light, so it is best to watch it in the natural light of standard sunny days when purchasing and collecting. However, jadeite with fine texture, high transparency and deep purple is hard to find, and it is especially influenced by Europeans and Americans.
