For the color of green jade, the ancients had terms like shrimp green, snot green, willow green, and bamboo leaf green. The ancients favored the color green, hence the saying "green surpasses blue in brilliance." It is believed that ancient celadon was inspired by the similar colors of green jade when it was fired, and its unique charm of color makes contemporary celadon highly favored, thriving in today's market with rapidly rising prices.

Simply from a value perspective, green jade is far inferior to mutton-fat jade or white jade, but green jade has its own characteristics: it often comes in larger sizes, with fine texture, warm and greasy qualities. Moreover, some green jades, due to their tightly interwoven structure, possess excellent toughness, making them ideal for crafting thin-walled vessels.
