Do you know what kinds of Hetian jade are roughly divided into?

Hetian jade is divided into four categories: mountain material: Hetian jade ancestors, all Hetian jade is from the mountain.

It is characterized by a large size, uneven jade layer and quality level. Seeds: Hetian jade essence, because of geological movements, rolled from the mountains to the river, tens of millions of years of waves and sand, most of the rest is precious collections, and now it is difficult to dig.

It is characterized by skin color pores, good density and oiliness, ** high, and more false seed jade. Mountain water material: the same is very precious, like the seed jade fell from the mountain into the river, but not always lying in the river, because of geological activities, rivers, flood seasons and other reasons, only stayed in the water for a period of time, and the density was not polished so well.

The characteristics are between seed jade and mountain material. Gobi material: It is also precious, and it has been exposed to the wind and sun on the Gobi Desert for thousands of years, and the density is also very good.

It is characterized by weathered caviar.

Sheep fat jade: Sheep fat jade is named because of its color similar to mutton fat. The texture is delicate,"White as truncated fat", giving people a feeling of being rigid and soft.

Green and white jade: green and white jade is based on white, faintly flashing green, flashing green, flashing gray, etc., and common onion white, pink green, gray and so on. Topaz:

Topaz ranges from light yellow to dark yellow, with chestnut yellow, okra yellow, yellow flower yellow, egg yolk, tiger skin yellow and other colors.

Hetian jade can be divided into four categories: white jade, green jade, black jade, and topaz according to the color.

If Hetian jade is divided according to the production material, it can be divided into seed material, Gobi material, mountain flowing water, and mountain material.

Hetian jade is divided into white jade, green jade, topaz and black jade, among which there are two special kinds of white jade: green and white jade, and mutton fat jade. It is a relatively gray black jade, generally for the seed material, mountain material, it refers to the mining of different places, the most expensive is the seed material, and then once for the mountain water mountain material.

The types of Hetian jade can be classified according to the occurrence, origin classification, and color classification. Occurrence classification, mountain material, seed material, mountain water material, Gobi material, origin classification, Xinjiang Hetian jade, Russian Hetian jade, Qinghai Hetian jade, South Korea Hetian jade, Guangxi Hetian jade, Liaoning Xiuyan River grinding jade, Gansu Hetian jade, Canada Hetian jade, New Zealand Hetian jade, etc., color classification, white jade, green and white jade, green jade, topaz, black jade, jasper, sugar jade.

First of all, jade is mainly divided into two categories: nephrite and jadeite, jadeite refers to jadeite, and nephrite refers to what we often call Hetian jade. Hetian jade is classified according to color: white jade, green and white, green jade, jasper, topaz, yellow qin, red qin, smoke purple, emerald green, etc. ‍‍

From the occurrence of the state: seed material, mountain water material, mountain material. From the place of origin: Xinjiang material, Qinghai jade, Russian jade, Korean jade, Canadian jade. From the color: white jade, black jade, jasper, topaz, red jade, blue and white jade, etc.

According to the form, it can be mainly divided into seed material, mountain material, mountain water material, Gobi material, and river abrasive. Seed material is one of the four major traits of Hetian jade. It is a pebble-shaped jade naturally formed in the river, because it has been washed and baptized by water for a long time, so the appearance is smooth, it looks moist, and the block is generally relatively small.

To put it simply, the mountain material is the jade material mined in the mountain, which has edges and corners, and the block degree is different. Mountain water material, one of the four major production traits of Hetian jade. When the mountain material rolls into the riverbed, it will form a mountain of water.

Generally, it is close to the primary mine (mountain jade mine), mostly in the middle of the mountain. Gobi material is a jade on the desert, mainly produced in the desert Gobi, which is the primary ore that has been weathered and collapsed and exposed to the surface for a long time, and has long-term interaction with wind and sand. River abrasives are close relatives of seed feeds.

Because of its unique cause, the shape of the river abrasive is not as round as the seed material, often the edges and corners are more obvious, and the surface generally has a very thick stone skin, so it is also called "stone wrapped jade".

Hetian jade is mainly divided into five categories: these five categories are Qin color material, skin and meat material, blue and white material, light white material, and green jade. A friend told me that the mountains and rivers are the same as Hetian jade, why not be called Hetian jade.

In fact, the texture of the so-called mountain water and Hetian jade is the same. It is the melting of the snow-capped mountains, the flood washed down the mountain material, and before it reached the riverbed, the collision was not perfect enough to stay in the middle of the road, so it is called mountain flowing water! He can only be called Hetian Yu's "father".

The traditional narrow category refers to the jade produced in the Hotan region of Xinjiang, which is famous for its "sub-material" in Hetian; In a broad sense, Hetian jade refers to nephrite (true jade). Although Hetian jade is named after Hotan, Xinjiang, it is not a regional concept in itself, and does not specifically refer to the jade produced in the Hotan region of Xinjiang, but the name of a class of products. In China, the stones with more than 98% tremolite content are named Hetian jade, which are within the scope of the national standard.

So for me, Hetian jade is divided into two categories, Xinjiang local jade and other varieties such as Russian jade, Qinghai jade, Korean food, etc. Personally, I think that only Hetian jade in the traditional sense is collectible. ‍‍

1. Mutton fat jade: Mutton fat jade is named because of its color resembling mutton fat. The texture is delicate,"White as truncated fat", giving people a feeling of being rigid and soft.

This is the best variety of white jade jade, only Xinjiang has this variety in the world, the output is very rare, extremely precious. However, I have seen a few works of mutton fat jade on Zhuoyixuan**, which is very beautiful jade.

2. Green and white jade: green and white jade is based on white, faintly flashing green, flashing green, flashing gray, etc. in white jade, common onion white, pink green, gray white, etc., belonging to the transition varieties of white jade and green jade, and it is more common in Hetian jade.

3. Topaz: Topaz is from light yellow to dark yellow, with chestnut yellow, okra yellow, yellow flower yellow, egg yolk, tiger skin yellow and other colors. Topaz is very rare, in the history of thousands of years of jade exploration, only occasionally seen, the quality is equal to the sheep fat jade.

Fourth, green jade: green jade has light cyan to dark cyan, there are many types of colors, and its color is different, there are light blue, dark blue, turquoise, gray blue, dark gray green, emerald green, etc. Hetian jade has the most green jade, and the value of green jade with delicate flesh has also continued to rise in the past two years.

5. Ink jade: Ink jade is from ink color to light black, and its ink color is mostly cloud-like bands. There are dark cloud pieces, light ink light, gold mink whiskers, beauty whiskers and so on.

In the whole material, the degree of ink is different, and the depth and shade are unevenly distributed, which is mostly seen in the transition with green jade and white jade. Generally, there are full ink, concentrated ink, and point ink.

There are many ways to divide Hetian jade, there are.

According to the color, there are according to the place of origin, and there are according to the output environment.

According to the color, it can be divided into eight categories: mutton fat jade, white jade, green and white jade, green jade, jasper, topaz, sugar jade, and black jade.

Mutton fat jade is generally what everyone often calls "mutton fat white jade", which is the best among white jade, and the color is fat-white or close to fat-white, such as clotted fat. It is also the most favored variety of Hetian jade.

White jade is the predominantly white jade in Hetian jade, often with a small amount of variegated colors, such as green, gray, yellow, etc. In addition to mutton fat white, there are pear blossom white, ivory white, brown rice white, chicken bone white, fish belly white, etc. White jade is delicate and is a major mainstream of Hetian jade.

The color range of green jade ranges from light green to dark blue, and the types are relatively rich, including light green, gray blue, green yellow, green green, gray green and so on. The texture of green jade is delicate and warm.

The color of green and white jade is between white jade and green jade, and the color is based on white, because the color is lighter and often translucent.

Jasper is also green, and it may not be easy to distinguish between jasper and green jade at first, so you can use some tools. Irradiated with a white light flashlight, the aperture of the green jade is close to yellow, while the aperture of the jasper is closer to green.

Topaz is formed by iron oxide percolation, there are beige, beeswax yellow, maroon yellow, okra yellow, sunflower yellow, egg yolk, boxwood yellow, etc., with maroon yellow, beeswax yellow as the top, "yellow as steamed pear" is the best.

Ink jade is divided into black jade with a white jade bottom and black jade with a jasper bottom, and generally speaking, the value of white jade is higher than that of jasper. According to the amount of ink color, black jade is divided into point ink, poly ink and full ink. The whole body is as black as ink, and the delicate and uniform whole ink is of the highest value, and the concentrated ink and dotted ink need good engraving to polish.

Sugar jade is formed by the infection of iron oxide and manganese substances, and the sugar color is more than 30% to be considered sugar jade. There are colors such as purple red, maroon, and blood red.

According to the place of origin, the main production areas of Hetian jade are: Xinjiang Hotan, Qinghai, Russia, South Korea.

According to the output environment, it can be divided into: mountain material, mountain water material, seed material, and Gobi material.

Master Hetian Yuhuang said that in fact, the types of Hetian jade are more complicated, and novices may need to spend some effort to understand.

Russian materials, Qinghai materials, Korean materials, and Hetian mountain materials can all produce Hetian jade certificates.

The real Hetian jade is divided into Hetian mountain material, Hetian mountain water material, and Hetian seed material.

The best is Wada seed material.

To see the quality of jade is to look at the oiliness, density, whiteness, and skin color.

In the traditional sense, Hetian jade is the jade dragon Kashgar River in Hotan, Xinjiang, which is divided into mutton fat white jade, white jade, green and white jade, green jade, jasper, black jade, topaz, red jade, and blue and white materials according to different colors and textures. Among them, mutton fat white jade, red jade and topaz are the most rare and precious.

Headed by mutton fat jade, it is divided into white jade, green jade, topaz, black jade, and blue and white.

According to the different places of production, Hetian jade can be divided into: sub-material,

There are three types of mountain water and mountain materials.

There are many ways to classify Hetian jade, the common classification according to the origin of Xinjiang Hetian material, Qinghai material, Korean material, Russian material, Luodian material, etc., most people feel that Xinjiang material is good, but I personally feel that each region of the material has its own characteristics, it is difficult to judge the quality of the material from the origin alone, but the same quality Xinjiang material is usually higher.

According to the cause of formation, it is divided into mountain material, mountain water and seed material, and it is generally considered that the seed material is the best quality, but also the rarest.

According to the color classification, oil white jade, jasper, black jade, blue and white, etc., because Hetian jade is relatively rich in color, I will not repeat them one by one.

The above are several common classification methods for Hetian jade.

Traditionally, Hetian jade is produced in Hetian, Xinjiang, and the overall quality is high, so the market is relatively higher than other origins. Secondary ores: mountain flowing water, sub-materials, Gobi materials.

Xinjiang white jade "mountain material" is also known as mountain jade, or Baogai jade, refers to the primary mine produced in the mountain. The characteristics of mountain material are that the block degree is large, there are irregular edges and corners, the texture is also coarser than the sub-material, and the color is mostly green and white, gray and white.

The "Gobi material" was transported to the Gobi Desert through crustal changes, and was mainly flaked jade formed by the impact of sand and gravel such as major storms, with traces of wind erosion on the surface. The shape and size are unequal, mostly flake-like, with smooth surface, often with corrugated surfaces and sand holes of different sizes, and the texture is delicate, tight and hard.

"The sub-primary mineral jade formed by natural weathering, debris flow or rainwater erosion is the transitional state of sub-jade and mountain jade. The characteristics of mountain flowing water are that it is close to the primary ore, the blockiness is large, the edges and corners are slightly rounded, and the goose-egg shape has not yet been formed, and the surface is smooth. "Shanliushui" and "Gobi Material" are similar in shape and texture, but the blockiness is slightly larger and the color is whiter.

Xinjiang white "sub-material", also known as sub-jade, refers to the formation of nephrite primary ore through weathering, glaciers, debris flows, and river water continuous erosion and transportation. The characteristics of the sub-material are that the shape is goose-shaped, the general blockiness is small, the body is smooth, the texture is tight, the color is white as the best, and the outer skin is an important appearance feature of the sub-material. Because of long-term handling, scouring, and sorting, the quality of Ziyu is generally better.

According to the color and pattern, Hetian nephrite can be roughly divided into the following 8 categories:

White jade: refers to white nephrite. According to the degree of whiteness, there are different names, such as mutton fat white, pear blossom white, ivory white, chicken bone white, etc. Among them, mutton fat white (shaped like clotted fat) is the best, and the price is also the highest.

Green jade: pale blue-green, sometimes green with gray. The traditional "green jade" is dark green with gray or green with black.

Green and white jade: between white jade and green jade, nephrite jade that looks like white but not white, and looks like green but not green.

Jasper": refers to nephrite jade that is green, bright green, dark green, and dark green, but is by no means jasper in quartz jade.

Black jade: refers to nephrite jade that is pure black, jet black, and dark gray, with a dull luster, and is often accompanied by green jade.

Sugar jade: refers to nephrite jade that is blood red, brown sugar red, and maroon-red. Among them, blood-red sugar jade is the best, and it is mostly distributed in a subordinate position in white jade and green jade.

Flower jade: refers to a piece of jade with a variety of colors, and properly distributed, forming a certain form of pattern.

1. Hetian jade is divided into mountain materials, mountain flowing water, sub-materials, and Gobi materials.

2. Mountain material: jade blocks without weathering surface skin or with a very thin weathering layer, mostly primary ore mined from the outcrop of the mine or the face of the palm, also known as mountain jade, ballast jade, called "Baogai jade" in ancient times, refers to the primary jade mine produced in the snow-capped mountains of Xinjiang region.

3. Mountain flowing water: Mountain flowing water is Hetian Yushan flowing water material, which is better than mountain material and second only to seed material. The primary ore produced at high altitude of Hetian Yushan material is rolled down to the foot of the iceberg by natural factors, and is transported and washed by natural denudation and debris flow, rain and glaciers.

4. Sub-material: sub-material, also known as "seed material", "child material", "sub-jade". The seed material is a pebble-shaped jade material naturally formed in the river, with a seed skin on the outside.

After long-term weathering, it is peeled into pieces of various sizes, which collapse on the hillside and are washed into the river by rainwater. When the river dries up in autumn, the jade collected in the riverbed is called seed material.

5. Gobi material: Hetian jade Gobi material is a manifestation of Hetian jade. It is mainly produced in the Gobi Desert in southern Xinjiang, and is formed by the long-term exposure of the original ore to the surface through weathering and caving, and long-term interaction with wind, sand and rain.

The moistness and texture of Gobi material are obviously better than that of mountain material, and Gobi material is comparable to seed material in Hetian jade.
