What kind of jade is best, and what kind of jade is best?

Hello! Chinese jade is divided into two categories: nephrite and jadeite.

Jadeite, commonly known as "jadeite" in China, is a rising star in China's traditional jade, and it is the top grade of all jade in modern times. Common jadeite colors are white, gray, pink, light brown, green, emerald green, yellow-green, purple-red, etc., most of them are opaque, some are translucent, and have a glass luster. According to the color and texture, there are more than 20 varieties such as ruby green, bright green, yellow yang green, yang pretty green, glass green, parrot green, spinach green, light water green, light yang green, frog green, melon skin green, plum green, blue green, gray green, oil green, and violet and lotus root powder.

Nephrite jade is called true jade, such as white jade, green jade, white jade, jasper and black jade, etc., they all have a waxy luster, pure milky white, from the jade of the past dynasties, our country uses jade to nephrite jade, ancient nephrite jade in our country is called traditional jade. The common colors of nephrite are white, gray-white, green, dark green, yellow, black and other colors, most of them are opaque, some are translucent, and have a vitreous luster. The best of the white jade is as white as mutton fat, which is called mutton fat jade.

Green jade is grayish white to bluish-white, and some people currently refer to gray-white green jade as green and white jade. Jasper is green or dark green, sometimes with black dirty spots, which are caused by impurities such as chrome spinel minerals. When it contains many impurities and is black, it is a precious black jade.

Topaz is also a more prized variety. There is a yellow skin shell of sugar water in the green jade, which is called "sugar jade" by existing people, and some people call it "pink jade" if it is white and slightly pink, and "tiger skin jade" when it is colored by tiger skin.

People who play jade for the first time are most afraid of encountering fakes because they don't understand jade. At present, the identification of glass imitation jade products on the market is probably the most common and simplest of fakes. Common ones are small smooth rings called "jade", small chicken hearts, jade plaques, etc.

Because this kind of glass product is made of pouring mold, the high-temperature molten glass will overflow a little bit on the edge of the utensils when it is in order, and it will become a faintly convex line after cooling. If you touch it with your hands, you will find it with your eyes. If you take a magnifying glass to reflect the light, there must be large and small bubbles in it.

If you don't invite an expert, the first-time jade player should identify the authenticity of the jade by himself, which can be observed from three aspects:

1. Because the texture of the glass is very brittle and hard, the structure is arranged and dredged, and the density and toughness of jade are lacking, and it cannot withstand strong high-speed rotary carving, so it is generally not processed on the glass with high relief and round carving.

Second, use a magnifying glass to find bubbles, even if you can only see one, you can confirm that it is not jade.

3. Chromium oxide is added to the glass, and the color is close to ruby; Cobalt oxide is added, and the color is nearly sapphire; Chromium oxide and copper oxide are added to give the color to the ...... of emeraldsAnd so on, and so on, and there are many kinds of fake jade. However, their tones always appear thin, lacking the oily and rich feeling of natural jade.

The identification of new jade and old jade is different. The identification of new jade focuses on the true and false varieties, the quality of the texture and the finesse of the carving. The identification of old jade is relatively complex, in addition to several basic requirements for new jade, it is also necessary to identify the production of jade and its historical value.

The identification of jade mainly depends on whether the color is strong (rich), yang (distinct), pretty (beautiful), positive (pure), and (soft). On the contrary, if the jade is light (plain), yin (dark), old (dark), flower (impure), oblique (uncoordinated), it is inferior. Do not choose jade under strong lights, because the light will make the jade lose its original color.

It will also cover up flaws and confuse the real with the fake. When buying jade, you also need to learn to distinguish the authenticity. Common fake jade includes plastic, glass, marble, electric color and so on.

The texture of plastic and marble is lighter than that of jade, and the hardness is poor; Tinted glass has bubbles; Electric fake jade is a layer of beautiful and dazzling emerald green coated on inferior jade, which is difficult to identify at first glance, but on closer inspection, electric inferior jade often has some "spider claws", that is, small cracks with blue in the green.

Jade, from the color is divided into: white jade, jasper, green jade, black jade, topaz, yellow jade, green jade, Beijing white jade, etc.

Geographically, there are: Xinjiang jade, Henan jade, Xiuyan jade (also known as Xinshan jade), Australian jade, Dushan jade, southern jade, Canadian jade, etc., and Xinjiang and Khotanese jade are China's famous specialties.

It has been a favorite ornament since the Neolithic period, and today, more and more people love to collect and enjoy jade. In China, jade is most famous for jadeite, Xiuyu, Hetian jade, and Dushan jade, which are called"Four famous jades"。

Classification of jade: According to the research of the Asian Gem Society (GIG), jade is divided into nephrite and jadeite. Nephrite is a traditional Chinese jade material, and the name of jade comes from nephrite, which is often referred to as "Hetian jade" because of the better production of jade in the Hotan region of Xinjiang.

Nephrite jade is generally opaque or translucent in its hardness, and is divided into the following categories according to its color: white jade, topaz, green jade, (green and white jade), jasper, black jade, flower jade, and jade.

Jadeite refers to jadeite that is found in Myanmar. Whether it is nephrite or jadeite, their texture is very hard and the color is very bright, so they are known as the "king of stones". Jade is already worth a lot of money, and after being processed and carved by skilled craftsmen, it becomes a priceless treasure.

With the development of the times, jade culture has gradually formed.

According to your description, it should belong to Hetian jade seed material at present, and some things cannot be completely measured by **, but you can choose according to your own preferences, and what you like is the best.

That's too broad. First of all, there are many jade species of jade, Hetian jadeite, Dushan Lantian and so on, each of which has different identification methods and different ingredients. Secondly, when it comes to which jade species, her grade division is not the same as the others.

So you have to look at what jade you like, and then you have to be specific.

1. Xinjiang Hotan material - Hotan area is recognized as the best production area of white jade; The subdivision can be divided into mountain material, mountain flowing water, Gobi material and seed material, the texture of Xinjiang Hetian jade seed material is the best, followed by Gobi material, and then mountain flowing water, mountain material. Because of excessive mining, the source of seed and Gobi material has basically been exhausted, especially in recent years, good material is more scarce, and the best material is getting higher and higher.

2. Russian material - Hetian jade produced in Russia, called Russian material in the circle, and the output form can also be divided into mountain material, seed material, and mountain water material. However, there are very few seeds of Russian materials, most of them are mountain water and mountain materials, and with the increasing scarcity of Xinjiang materials, the value of white jade of Russian materials has gradually increased.

3. Qinghai material - Qinghai material, also known as Qinghai jade or Kunlun jade, is one of the common generalized Hetian jade species on the market, produced in the eastern edge of the Kunlun Mountains into Qinghai Province, comparable to Xinjiang Hetian jade mountain material, but the texture of the new pit is poor, easy to go discolored and yellowish, so it is not good in recent years.

4. Korean material - Korean material is a generalized Hetian jade green jade mountain material. Its main production area is Chuncheon in the southern part of the Korean Peninsula, and it is produced in the local serpentine, which is mostly blue-yellow and brown. Fat powder is not very good. It is the lowest value in Xinjiang Hetian jade.
