有关翡翠“老”和“新”的概念，我们可以把它大致分为三组，即老（坑）种和新（坑）种、老坑和新坑、老工和新工。>>>About Jade "old" and "new" concept, we can put it broadly divided into three groups, namely the old (pit) species and new (pit) species, and the new pit crater, the old workers and new job.
老（坑）种和新（坑）种 >>>Old (pit) species and new (pit) species


要想了解翡翠，就必须先搞清楚“种”——这一基本概念。>To understand Jade, you must first find out "species" - the basic concept.

结晶颗粒越细，集结的越紧密，翡翠的透明度通常就越高，这时我们称之为“翡翠的种很老
Crystalline particles finer, more tightly assembled, jade usually higher transparency, then we call it jade is very old species

翡翠结晶越粗，颗粒集结 的越松散，透明度就会越低，这时我们就会说“翡翠的种很新”
The more coarse crystalline jade, loose particles assembled more transparency will be lower, then we would say this kind jade is new species....

所谓新种翡翠、老种翡翠，其实与其开采时间并无直接关系，也并非成矿时间不同，而是指 翡翠本身品质的区别

怎样才能挑选一只上佳的A货翡翠手镯呢？一般可从以下四个方面来衡量：首先看手镯有无裂纹，裂纹既有原玉料上本来就具有的，也有在加工过程中产生的，你可用聚光电筒照射，观看翡翠手镯两侧和内外侧，若有环绕条径的裂纹将极大地损害翡翠手镯的价值。
On how to pick a good A cargo jade bracelet it? Generally measured in the following four aspects: First look at the bracelet cracks, cracks both raw jade material already has, but also produced in the process, you can use condenser torch light, watch the sides and jade bracelet inside and outside, if the crack around the bar diameter will greatly impair the value of jade bracelet.

3 weeks has been the norm for me, too... I have one piece I"m still waiting on that tracking just showed up in New Jersey. Weird. Normally anything from that side of the globe just goes to Honolulu first, on occasion it pops up on the West coast before heading to Hawaii.




That's not so bad, the federal post offices are closed on Xmas eve and day... but I think the commercial companies in the US still work, just offer overtime.



Pretty! I so want a white/green one like this. Are you going to make an offer?


Jade pricing is so weird. Of all my bangles, my Princess has the highest, clearest chime and the least visible flaws and good even coloring with faint flowers.... I'd say PL has slightly more translucency but does have that visible/felt flaw line and the visible stone veins... but twice as expensive, because of the faint lavender color, I guess.

Slightly less is Leaf with all sorts of visible flaws and several that can be felt and a flaw line that feels weaker to me than the rest of bracelet.... but lots of translucency that looks like icy chips inside. It's funny to think that Leaf is more than Princess when princess looks/sounds prettier to me.

So much variation and qualities to think about.

Very true. Sometimes the pricing is very baffling to me too. I noticed that in general, translucent jade costs more than more opaque ones, even if the more opaque ones have better color. And lavender and brigt apple green colors seem to be more expensive than the more muted greens
