Type A vs Type B vs Type C Jade: What You're Actually Paying For
Type A, B, and C jade can look identical in a photo but differ by thousands of dollars in value and durability. Here is exactly what each grade means and why only Type A holds its worth.

- Type B — bleached with acid and resin-filled to fake clarity.
- Type C — dyed to fake colour.
