What are the most famous types of jade in the world?

Jadeite"Refers specifically to jadeite, which belongs to the pyroxene category, with a dense texture, a vitreous luster, and a faint water when looking at the light.

Crystal structure. Its Mohs hardness is 7, the hardness is high, the specific gravity is, and there is a heavy pressure feeling in the hand.

Nephrite"It belongs to amphibole, and its Mohs hardness is generally not more than the highest, and it is softer than jadeite. Nephrite's.

There are many types, Xiuyu, Nanyang jade, Lantian jade, Hetian jade, agate, crystal, coral, turquoise, lapis gold.

Stone, etc., all belong to the category of nephrite. Later, due to the opening of the Silk Road, jade produced in the Hotan area of Xinjiang was obtained.

To the unanimous recognition, it began to become the protagonist in the jade processing of the court, official and non-governmental, nephrite jade.

It has gradually become synonymous with Hetian jade.

The four famous jades are the four famous jades in China, which refer to the "Hetian jade" in Xinjiang, the "Lantian jade" in Xi'an, Shaanxi, the "Dushan jade" in Nanyang, Henan, and the "Xiuyu" in Xiuyan, Liaoning.

1. Hetian jade is translucent, with grease luster after polishing, and the hardness is between degrees and degrees.

2. Lantian jade is one of the earliest jade species developed and utilized in China, with a history of more than 5,000 years, and was mined and utilized as early as the Neolithic Age.

3. Dushan jade is also known as"Nanyang jade"or"Henan jade"It is produced in Dushan in the north of the urban area of Nanyang City. It is also referred to as "Duyu".

4. Xiuyu is produced in Xiuyan, Liaoning Province, China, and is named after Xiuyan, Liaoning Province. Xiuyu is a type of nephrite jade, which belongs to serpentine.

The main features of Lantian jade:

Lantian jade, which has always been in Chinese history, includes jade, black jade, colored jade, white marble, topaz and so on. The texture is hard, colorful, the luster is warm and moist, the texture is fine, because it contains oxidized silicon, aluminum, magnesium, sodium, calcium, copper and other elements, often a jade multi-colored, milky white, green, yellow, red colors are mixed, it is a good jade carving and the raw material for making arts and crafts.

1. Tone: The color of Lantian jade has a typical light olive color or light yellow-green, because serpentine is formed by olivine alteration, so there is a remnant of olivine color.

2. Feel: The feel is light, and the specific gravity of serpentine is relatively low, which is about the same as that of crystal. So, when you hold it in your hand, it won't feel heavy.

3. Inclusion body: Like all serpentine jade, Lantian jade also has a white cloud-like inclusion.

4. Luster: The luster of serpentine is generally not very good, and few can achieve glass luster, and the general serpentine is waxy luster.

The world's famous jade is Hetian jade, Xiuyan jade, Dushan jade, Lantian jade, and Huanglong jade.

1, Hetian jade.

Hetian jade, one of the "four famous jades in China" (the third is Shaanxi Lantian jade, Liaoning Xiuyu and Henan Dushan jade). The traditional narrow category refers to the jade produced in the Hotan region of Xinjiang, which is famous for its "sub-material" in Hetian.

2, Xiuyan jade.

Xiuyan jade, a special product of Xiuyan Manchu Autonomous County, Anshan City, Liaoning Province, is a product of China's National Geographical Indication. Xiuyan jade is one of the four famous jades in Chinese history (the third is Shaanxi Lantian jade, Xinjiang Hetian jade and Henan Dushan jade), which is named after Xiuyan in Liaoning.

3, Dushan jade.

Dushan jade is one of the four famous jade in China, known as Nanyang jade, is an important jade carving material, produced in Dushan in Nanyang, Henan, also known as "Nanyang jade" or "Henan jade" or "Duyu".

5, Huanglongyu.

Huang Longyu was originally called. It has the color of Tianhuang and the hardness of jadeite, with good hardness, high transparency, and bright and rich colors. Because it is produced in Longling, and yellow is the main color, it was finally named Huanglongyu.

At present, the best jade in the world is generally considered by the academic community to be the jadeite type of Burma.

Introduction: Jadeite, also known as jadeite jade, jade, Burmese jade, is a type of jade. The correct definition of nanochain jadeite is a fibrous aggregate composed of pyroxene minerals dominated by jadeite minerals.

But jadeite is not equal to jadeite. Jadeite is a jade-grade stone polycrystalline aggregate formed under geological action, mainly composed of jadeite or jadeite and sodium and sodium limestone pyroxene, which can contain amphibole, feldspar, chromite, limonite, etc.

Hetian jade red jade and Tian jade are mainly produced in the Hotan region of Xinjiang, China, is one of the four famous jade in China, Hetian jade is not only very rich in color, the luster is also very soft, the most precious of which is mutton fat white jade, is the top grade in the jade, extremely precious.

Hetian jade and Tian Chundan jade itself is one of the four famous jade in China, produced in Kunlun Mountain, has a relatively large reputation in the world, and the texture of Hetian jade itself is more delicate and smooth, it has a relatively white and flawless appearance, and has great ornamental value.

The most expensive jade is Hetian jade. Hetian jade is one of the important representatives of traditional Chinese culture and one of the most expensive jade in the world. It is a unique jade produced in Xinjiang and the Ransentian region, and is favored by jewelry enthusiasts and collectors for its high quality, rarity and historical value.

Lantian jade has a delicate texture, warm luster, fine texture, colorful and emerald reflection, a jade with multiple colors, exquisite and clear, firm but not brittle. Xiuyu.

At present, the best jade scholars in the world, silver jujube, are generally considered to be the jadeite of Myanmar, but in China, Hetian jade is considered the best by the Chinese people. In fact, the highest-grade jadeite is much higher than the best Hetian jade**.

Burmese jadeite is referred to as Burmese jadeite, more than 95% of the commercial grade jadeite jade on the market comes from Myanmar, jadeite is also known as Burmese jade, so Burmese jade is synonymous with jadeite. Jadeite is found in Japan, Russia, Mexico, California and other places, but its quality and yield are far inferior to those in Myanmar.

In the selection of jadeite, we should pay attention to 3 aspects:

1. Color: The best jadeite can give people a feeling of verdant dripping, and the shoddy jadeite is often colored, dull and dull.

2. Appearance: Under the light, the surface of good jadeite is smooth and tidy, and the phenomenon of orange peel cannot be seen, while the inferior jadeite often has orange peel on the surface, and the surface is not smooth and tidy.

3. Sound: To distinguish the advantages and disadvantages of the first dismantling of jadeite, the commonly used method is to hang the jadeite bracelet with a rope and hit it with a rod made of agate. The sound of fine jadeite is often crisp and beautiful.

There are 122 varieties of jade.

Jade can be divided into two main categories, one is nephrite and the other is jadeite. The so-called jadeite mainly refers to jadeite pyroxene, in other words, jadeite basically describes jadeite. Its hardness on the Mohs scale is in between, and it can be said to be a well-deserved jadeite.

Another type of jade is nephrite, which is the famous Hetian jade. Of course, the use of nephrite jade to describe Hetian jade here does not mean that it is really soft, but a long-standing saying. In fact, the hardness of Hetian jade is also not low, and it is tough and delicate, and its texture is very outstanding.

The jade identification standard is judged from six aspects: texture, hardness, transparency, specific gravity, color and sound.

1. The texture of jade: refers to the fineness and warmth of jade. The division of jade quality here should be graded and evaluated according to the specific jade species, but no matter which kind of jade is inseparable from the four basic entry points of "water, permeability, oil, and moistness".

2. Hardness of jade: Hardness refers to the ability of jade to resist external forces (such as pressing, carving, and grinding). The higher the hardness, the more difficult it is to process, and the better the quality of the jade.

3. Toughness of jade: refers to compressive hardness, or press-in hardness, that is, absolute hardness, which refers to the ability to resist external impact force, which is also called toughness in the jade industry. The highest compressive hardness in nature is Black King Kong, which is marked at 10 degrees, followed by Hetian jade, which has a compressive hardness of 9 degrees.

4. The specific gravity of jade: refers to the density of jade, different jade has different densities, and the same kind of jade in the same volume comparison, the larger its specific gravity value, the higher the quality.

5. The color of jade: color is the most intuitive visual experience of jade, and to a large extent, it is often determined by the color of a piece of jade. Green is the best jade, and the value of red and purple jade is only 1 5 of green jade.

6. The sound of jade: the sound is also a very important part of the jade reward, and the general sound is divided into three levels, a clear and pleasant; bCrisp; cdull.

There are jadeite, Hetian jade, Dushan jade, Xiuyu and other types of jade.

Among them, jadeite is known as the king of jade, which is the most precious jade, and the main production area is Myanmar. Hetian jade is the most representative variety of traditional jade in China, and its main mineral components are tremolite and actinolite, which can show a waxy luster.

China is the earliest and most extensive country in the world to mine and use jade. There are many records in ancient books, and there are many names, such as water jade, relic jade, peiyu, fragrant jade, nephrite jade, etc. The tremolite nephrite jade block unearthed from the Chahai site in Fuxin City, Liaoning Province, is about 8,000 years old (early Neolithic Age), and is the earliest true jade known in the world so far.

The specific introduction of different jade:

1. Jadeite: It is one of the types of jade, jadeite is known as the "king of jade", it is the most precious jade, but also the most representative jadeite, its main origin is Myanmar, 95% of the world's commercial jadeite comes from Myanmar.

2. Hetian jade: the most representative variety of traditional jade in China, its mineral composition is mainly tremolite and actinolite, which can present different colors such as white, turquoise, black, yellow, etc., and the jade is translucent, and it is waxy luster after polishing.
