What does “good texture” in jade actually look like? 💚✨ In jadeite, texture (种 zhǒng) is the “root” of quality because everything else, from translucency to luster, stems from it. Using a macro lens, we compared rough, large-crystal texture to smoother, fine-grained icy jade so you can really see the difference. Understanding what jade texture looks like is also key in helping you identify real vs fake jade, so definitely not a video to miss! 👀 Stayed tuned for part 2 tomorrow where we examine
