Turquoise with its unique charm quickly occupied the colored gemstone market, but many people do not know the scarcity of turquoise resources, the difficulty of mining, and the ratio of less poor products, so turquoise is widely favored in the market, not only because of resource control, market demand, and other human factors, but also because turquoise is one of the four traditional Chinese jade, because of its natural beauty, noble and cold, rich and elegant characteristics, Let's take a look at the gorgeous transformation process of turquoise from wool to jewelry: mines are generally on steep and steep mountains, there is no way to go, and the mine is even more dangerous, and the difficulty of mining is beyond imagination!

If you have friends who have seen the rough stone, you know that some jade is not very bright when it first comes out, and it needs to be polished at this time. So how is turquoise polished? Let's take a look.

1. When maintaining turquoise, proper polishing of turquoise can increase its color and make it look more bright and translucent, you can first put the prepared turquoise in a clean basin, add an appropriate amount of water to scrub it, in order to remove the dirt and impurities on it.

2. Then start grinding with grinding tools, you will find that the turquoise is very soft, so be careful not to play too hard, it depends on the situation, sandpaper and frustration are suitable for grinding tools, if it is high porcelain, you can use leather to polish according to your own needs, in order to increase the brightness of turquoise.

3. Or smear tin oxide powder, cerium oxide powder or ruby powder on the leather leather plate, etc., the surface of the turquoise polished in this way is smooth, and the texture of the turquoise is relatively loose, so it must be gentle when polishing, and finally polish it into handicrafts according to your own hobbies.

That's all there is to know about how turquoise is polished.

To punch turquoise, we must first prepare a small punching equipment, and then select the emery grinding head punching needle in the four punching needles of twist drill, twist drill with emery, quenching twist drill, and emery grinding head, and see that there are many emery grains on the top, and the punching is to rely on these emery grains. Then choose the most suitable plastic chuck for turquoise, and when everything is ready, you can start punching holes.

It is important to note that:

1. Turquoise perforation should be filled with water throughout the process, whether vertical or horizontal, and the purpose of adding water is not to flush the hole, but to cool down.

2. The punching needle should advance and retreat, the punching needle should be punched a little, and the hole should be withdrawn, and then a little bit should be entered, and then the hole should be withdrawn, which is also to cool down, otherwise it is easy to break the needle if it is continuously played.

3. Do not push or press the punching needle hard, remember not to push the punching needle hard, pushing the punching needle hard is easy to bend, the punching needle is bent, and the hole is crooked.

4. Turquoise should be punched, and not unilaterally punched to the end, turquoise punching should be punched on both sides, one side of the punch, not through, rotate too carefully to contain the other side and then play. If you can't hit it all the way to the bottom from one side, in that case, the hole on the other side will burst at least and crack at worst.

Under normal circumstances, in order to avoid the loss of water, the turquoise that has just been processed must be soaked in clear water for a period of time to ensure that the right of turquoise is sufficient (turquoise likes water, as long as it is not a top-level porcelain turquoise, it will change color when encountering water), and the turquoise is now the best is not a pity, so the preservation method of turquoise is very important.

1. Soak it in clean water for a period of time when it is just processed.

2. Use vacuum packaging to avoid moisture loss.

3. When placing it in the cabinet, put a few glasses of water in the cabinet to keep the space moist.
