The name of jadeite, of course, Laokeng glass itself is still divided into high, low and mid-range. Just like the glass varieties in Xinkeng, you can look for them yourself. They are all over the streets. Among the glass varieties in Xinchang, moxi sand is the most representative, so although it is also called glass variety. But the value is not high. It is said that things are rare and expensive, so don’t tell me who’s glass only costs a few hundred yuan. Think about the things on the street. How expensive can it be!

The texture of pink-purple is relatively fine, and those with better transparency are rare, eggplant purple is inferior, and blue-purple is generally thicker in texture, and can be further called purple beans.

11. Bean seeds
Bean seeds is a very vivid name. We know that jadeite is a polycrystalline. If the crystals that make up the jadeite are thicker, for example, more than one millimeter.
