Buyer intelligence
Fine jadeite combines vivid color, translucency and fine texture. GIA notes that jadeite is commonly sold by the piece rather than simply by weight; slight size differences can matter greatly at the top end.
Care
Extremely tough but treatments matter. Gentle cleaning is safest, especially for impregnated or dyed material.
BARADAK uses summarized gemological information and links to technical sources; commercial ranges do not replace a laboratory report or formal appraisal.
