How to choose a piece of Hetian jade that suits you?

A good piece of Hetian jade, its texture is warm and delicate, the color is symmetrical, the internal texture is clear and uniform, and it is generally cloud-like. This quality of jade, generally produced in Xinjiang, has an excellent texture. So, as a novice, how can you choose a piece of Hetian jade that is satisfactory and suitable for you?

We say,The main thing to choose Hetian jade is to look at its craftsmanship and texture, and finally to consider it comprehensively with the help of its sound and weight to determine whether this is a good jade.

First, look at the so-called "jade is not carved and cannot be made", how is the process of a piece of jade, to a large extent, it can determine the final value of this jade. So, how to judge the quality of jade craftsmanship? In fact, it is very simple, you can first look at whether the overall shape of the jade is normal from the appearance, whether the proportions are coordinated, and if it is a person or animal, you can see whether the eyes have a god.

If it's Guanyin, just look at whether there are flaws on the face, if there is, it will directly affect the appearance, and the ** will naturally be relatively low.

Second, look at the texture and the texture of Tianyu, which contains many aspects. To put it simply, first of all, it depends on whether the jade has impurities, which is easy to understand, the more transparent the jade must be the better. Secondly, look at the quality of jade, good jade has fewer cracks, uniform color, pure and warm, delicate texture, and purity.

Looking at the color again, generally speaking, the value of mutton fat-colored Hetian jade is the highest, and it is yellow. This kind of jade is often produced in Xinjiang and is relatively scarce, so it is relatively precious. Of course, Hetian jade also has other colors, such as cyan and ink, which are generally selected from light to dark.

Hetian Yu is quite particular about the choice, but for friends who are new to it, it is nothing more than these two points. In addition, the sound and weight of Hetian jade can also be used as a reference object for its value. Generally speaking, the sound of a good Hetian jade after tapping is loud and crisp.

When we buy, we can choose two identical jade to knock on it, if the voice is dull, it is very likely that this is not the real Hetian jade. Finally, Hetian jade is heavier than other jade, thicker, and the surface is visible with grease light. If the amount is similar to that of other jade, it may not be Hetian jade.

I think you can choose it in combination with your skin color, if it is more white, you can choose the brighter Hetian jade, and then choose it in combination with your own temperament.

Do what you can, make the right choice according to your own spending power, if it is to ask for a round hand, suitable for usual play, skin color can choose to sprinkle gold or jujube red.

I think I can go to the counter and ask the staff at those counters, and then let them choose according to their temperament.

Hetian jade can be divided into four categories: white jade, green jade, black jade, and topaz according to different colors, and other colors of Hetian jade are also classified into these four categories.

Generally, there is full ink, and poly ink refers to the green jade or white jade, which can be used as a beautiful color. The dot ink is dispersed into dots, which affects the use. Most of the black jade is small, and its ink color is caused by the large number of fine graphite scales.

The selection of Hetian jade is aimed at Xinjiang Hetian white jade seeds.

It has a dense and oily texture, a restrained light, and an excellent greasy feel, and has a high appreciation value and potential for value preservation and appreciation.

The pattern looks very complete and is integrated with our jade.

Some inferior jade, we will find that their craftsmanship is very rough, feeling out of place, in fact, when we see more, the comparison will have a certain experience, like those masters are because of experience, in order to distinguish most of the real and fake Hetian jade.

When we choose Hetian jade, we first observe from the appearance, a good Hetian jade is relatively fresh and refined in appearance, and the color is particularly beautiful, and the yellow embellishment and off-white Hetian jade match is really very eye-catching.

Then we have to use our hands to really feel Hetian jade, a good piece of Hetian jade in the hand has a feeling of holding a handful of water. It feels particularly comfortable in the hand, and there is a feeling that people can't put it down.

And when we choose Hetian jade, we should not only go to a store, but also go around, and then have a general understanding of the price of Hetian jade, otherwise it is very likely that some people will suffer a big loss because of some small cheapness, so we must first make a general understanding of the current market situation of Hetian jade, good Hetian jade is shiny, and the color will not be dull and dull, so we can pay attention when choosing, do not blindly investigate and buy without a little investigation, It's still good to do a little bit of preparation.

Characteristics of Hetian jade

The characteristic of Hetian jade is oily and warm, which is the biggest difference between Hetian jade and other jade, although other jade also has the characteristics of warmth and oiliness, but it can not be compared with Hetian jade. In addition, the color of Hetian jade is very pure, and the industry describes the color of Hetian jade as yellow as steamed chestnut, white as fat, and black as pure lacquer.

The refractive index of Hetian jade is good.

The refractive index refers to the Hetian jade Xinjiang material, and the refractive index is a physical constant of matter, which refers to the ratio of the speed of light in the air to the speed of light in Hetian jade. The refractive index of the same substance is relatively fixed, and the refractive index of Hetian jade means that the propagation speed of Hetian jade in light and air is twice that of Hetian jade.

Hetian jade precautions:

Hetian jade, unlike many jade, most of Hetian jade is not transparent or not transparent, but semi-transparent, slightly transparent, generally more hazy, the color is mostly white jade, so when the dirt is on the surface of Hetian jade, then it is very obvious that it can be seen, and the oil secreted by the hands of the human book will definitely have some impurities, if you don't pay attention, it will stay on the surface of Hetian jade.

Although, Hetian jade is not as afraid of lack of water as some pure water-based gemstones, but if Hetian jade is short of water, it may also be ruined, the most basic, is the lack of water after the Hezhou fiber Futian jade, there will be an astringent, dry feeling, so that Hetian jade gives people a lower grade, and the most serious thing is that it will be dry and cracked. <>

Hetian jade, which has a delicate and warm texture, is a good jade.

Good jade is because of its extremely fine particle size, so the texture is very delicate, it is the so-called meticulous and chestnut, which is beyond the reach of other jade. The texture is warm and moisturizing, that is, it has a greasy luster, giving people a sense of moisturizing and soft, which is the so-called warm and moisturizing, which is famous for its jade moisturizing like mutton fat. Therefore, if the texture is delicate and warm, it is a good jade.

Texture is a comprehensive expression of the quality of jade, including shape, moisturization, cracks, impurities, and so on.

Hetian jade is mainly tremolite-based jade, with extremely fine mineral grains and a felt-like structure. Its structure is typical of felt-like, uniform particle size, interwoven into a felt blanket, which is an important reason for the delicate and dense texture, and this structure is rare for other types of jade. Although the mineral particles of Hetian jade have a certain orientation, they are not strong, and occasionally the particles have wavy extinction and plastic deformation.
