The difference between the density of Shoushan stone and the density of yellow wax stone

The density of Shoushan stone is, while the density of yellow wax stone is,. There is a slight difference in density between the two.

In general, although both are more transparent stones, the difference in density is mainly due to the difference in their internal structure and composition.

Because Shoushan stone is produced at the bottom of the field, and there is more yellow, it is called Tiankeng stone or Tianhuang. Shoushan stone rough stone is generally not large, Tiankeng stone up to 30 grams is called the finished material, up to 250 grams for the big material, more than 500 grams is the super material, can be called the king of kings.

The hardness is different, the Mohs hardness of yellow wax stone, and the Mohs hardness of Shoushan stone is about 3.

The composition is different, the yellow wax stone belongs to silicified andesite or sandstone, and the main component is quartz; The main mineral of Shoushan stone is ground stone (kaolinite group minerals).

The origin is different, yellow wax stone is produced in Zhenla country (now Cambodia) and Chaoshan, Taishan and other places in Guangdong, Hunan, Yunnan, Liaoning, Zhejiang and Jiangxi and other places; The Shoushan stone is distributed in the "Golden Triangle" area at the junction of Jin'an District and Lianjiang County and Luoyuan County in the northern suburbs of Fuzhou City, Fujian.

The use is different, yellow wax stone can be used as an ornamental stone and made into carvings; Shoushan stone is mainly used for seals, followed by carved pieces.

Compared with Huanglongyu, Tianhuangshi is similar in color, but Huanglongyu is harder and denser, and the important chemical components are silica and muscovite. The main chemical components of Tianhuang stone are ground opening stone, kaolinite, pearl clay, illite, pyrophyllite, etc., with the most typical characteristics of radish pattern, which is not found in Huanglongyu, and this feature alone can be distinguished from the two with the naked eye.

Hardness: Yellow wax stone hardness is very high, Shoushan stone is very soft, because it is a very good chapter material, so you have to eat a knife, scrape it with a blade, you will eat a knife and there is stone foam, yellow wax stone will not be carved out of the knife at all.

Composition: Yellow wax stone is silicified andesite or sandstone, and the main component is quartz; The main mineral of Shoushan stone is ground stone (kaolinite group minerals).

Origin: Yellow wax stone is produced in Zhenla country (now Cambodia) and Chaoshan, Taishan and other places in Guangdong, Hunan, Yunnan, Liaoning, Zhejiang and Jiangxi and other places; The Shoushan stone is distributed in the "Golden Triangle" area at the junction of Jin'an District and Lianjiang County and Luoyuan County in the northern suburbs of Fuzhou City, Fujian.

Uses: Yellow wax stone can be used as ornamental stone and made into carvings; Shoushan stone is mainly used for seals, followed by carved pieces.

Shoushan stone is just a general term, Tianhuang stone and bloodstone have collection value.

First of all, the hardness, the Mohs hardness of yellow wax stone, the Mohs hardness of Shoushan stone, is about 3. Flax stone is silicified andesite or sandstone, and the main component is quartz; The main component of Shoushan stone is mineral stone (kaolinite group minerals).

Yellow wax stone is mainly produced in Hunan, Yunnan, Liaoning, Zhejiang and Jiangxi such as Chaoshan and Taishan in Guangdong; Shoushan stone is distributed in the Golden Triangle belt at the junction of Jin'an District and Lianjiang County and Luoyuan County in the northern suburbs of Fuzhou City, Fujian Province.

The use is different, yellow wax stone is used as ornamental stone to make carvings; Shoushan stone is mainly used for seal its carvings, Shoushan stone is collectively referred to as Tianhuang stone, bloodstone is the collection value.

The Mohs hardness of Shoushan stone is generally between to.

Someone has done the test:

The density of Shoushan stone is 2 57 2 84g cm3.

The density of Shoushan stone, which is dominated by kaolinite minerals (including Dikaiite, kaolinite and pearl clay), is 2 57 2 67g cm3

The density of Shoushan stone, which is dominated by illite, is 2 7 2 8 g cm3, and the density of Shoushan stone with pyrophyllite as the main mineral is 2 80 2 84g cm3.

Special note: the density of Shoushan stone for the identification of the role of a very, very limited, and even misleading identification, because the same density of the ground stone, may be two completely different stones, such as Tian Huang, Chang fossil and Tian Huang composition can be said to be almost identical, but the quality of the two kinds of stone is very different, gem identification can be said to be a kind of skilled work, need to experience the stone for a long time, more hands, slowly will form a subconscious, commonly known as feeling, as long as a glance, As soon as you get started, you will know whether there is one, so there is a saying in the antique appraisal line "one eye is fake", which is the truth, and you can distinguish the quality of things at a glance.

The specific gravity of Shoushan stone is about Mohs hardness.
