Green jade, particularly when referring to jadeite (one of the two main types of jade, the other being nephrite), is valued for several key properties:

Color: The most prized green jade has a rich, even, and vibrant green color. This can range from a deep emerald green to a lighter, translucent green. The color's depth and uniformity significantly affect its value.

Translucency: High-quality green jade can be quite translucent. The more translucent the jade, the more valuable it generally is. The translucency allows light to pass through the stone, enhancing its overall appearance and beauty.

Texture: Green jade has a smooth, almost waxy texture. Its surface is often polished to a high gloss, which can enhance its luster and visual appeal.

Toughness: Jadeite, the more valuable type of jade, is known for its toughness and resistance to breaking or chipping. This makes it an ideal material for carving intricate designs and for use in durable jewelry pieces.

Density: Jadeite has a higher density than nephrite, making it heavier for its size. This density contributes to its substantial feel and durability.

Cultural Significance: Beyond its physical properties, green jade carries considerable cultural significance, especially in East Asian cultures, where it is associated with various virtues such as wisdom, purity, and protection.
