Why are Hetian jade seeds with skin?

Hetian jade seed material.

Why is there a skin?

Hetian jade seed material has skin, which is one of its biggest characteristics, to ask why it has skin? And there will be a variety of skin colors? This starts with its own upbringing.

Hetian jade seed material is grown in the riverbed of the Yulong Kashgar River, after tens of millions of years of continuous polishing, erosion and formation, but also after tens of millions of years of geological movement of the chemical reaction.

and formed. Jade meat is the body, and the skin is its coat, and there is a body first, and then there is a coat. One of the major characteristics of the skin as a seed material is that it can be used as a sign to identify Hetian jade as a seed material or mountain material, and it is also an ornament to beautify Hetian jade. <>

When it comes to why Hetian jade seeds have skin, to put it bluntly, it is caused by oxidation.

Since the seed material has been stripped from the mountain to the river by nature, it has been affected by organic matter and inorganic matter in the river water after hundreds of millions of years of relocation.

and other mineral elements, naturally affected, it will penetrate in the soft texture, penetrate into the muscles in the cracked places, and over time form a variety of forms in the epidermis of the seed material. <>

However, because the skin of the seed material is formed on the surface due to various reasons such as weathering and oxidation of various elements in the water, the color presented is different.

However, after the long-term impact and collision of Hetian jade seeds, small cracks and pits formed by the impact of different small stones will be left on the surface, which is often referred to as hair.

Pores, too, the thickness of the pores on the surface of the sweat has a great relationship with its internal structure, just like the relationship between human ** and the body, which is also the preciousness of the seed. <>

Nowadays, it is not easy to see Hetian seed material with real live skin on the market, so it is still necessary to be cautious if you want to buy it.

There are several theories about jade skin:

Pu: The ancients called the stone containing jade or the jade that was not carved Pu. Pu also has the meaning of skin. The Ming Dynasty scientist Song Yingxing's "Heavenly Creations" recorded: "Where the jade is hidden in the purple, its outer skin is called jade skin".

Qin or soaking: Some experts and scholars call the different oxidation colors formed by long-term soaking of jade as: "Qin" or "soaking", and some people call the secondary oxidation color of seed material as: Qin color.

Oxidation: This is the name of mineralogists, because Hetian jade is soaked in the riverbed for a long time, the ferrous oxide in the jade is transformed into ferric oxide under oxidation conditions.

The jade skin of Hetian jade is naturally formed after tens of millions of years, with different forms and rich colors, such as autumn pear skin, jujube red skin, tabby skin, heaven and earth skin, chestnut skin, crow skin, osmanthus skin, reed skin, etc.

One is that the skin color is more natural and beautiful, and the other is to prove its identity. Because the seed material is very precious, the color of the second skin is the only feature that can prove its identity after carving, so it is generally retained as much as possible now.

Hello. Because the skin color of Hetian jade seed material is its natural unique feature.

Other jades do not have such a skin color.

And it's also very nice and pretty.

This kind of thing is not real if it is not skinned from the original material, because under normal circumstances, because this kind of stone has been under the ground for thousands of years, so after taking it out, he has such a layer of things on the outside.

Sprinkled with gold skin, the appearance is like sprinkling **, some are a piece, and some are dotted.

Jujube red skin, the outer skin color is brownish yellow or brownish-red, mostly clustered.

Redskin, big red.

Autumn pear peel with a dark yellow to yellowish brown appearance.

Tiger striped skin, marked, somewhat similar to the fur of leopards, tigers and other animals.

Black skin is pure black skin, and the black and bright black ones are mostly flake-like clusters.

Smoke skin, gray-brown, similar to the same skin that has been roasted by fire, less counterfeit because it is not as hot as the above skin color and the smoke skin is mostly green and white jade. However, this type of seed material is not bad for oiliness.

In addition, there are blue and white, dotted ink, yellow skin (chicken bone white) and so on. Because of the different environments in which the seeds are exposed, the minerals they are exposed to are different, the formation age is different, the minerals contained in themselves are different, the density is different, the maturity is different, and so on. Generally speaking, the sprinkling of gold skin has better meat quality and higher whiteness, but in recent years, it seems that red skin and white meat have been fried at sky-high prices.

I don't know which one will be more popular next, maybe the tiger stripe leather is rare, maybe the black leather is very eye-catching because of the clever carving, maybe the autumn pear skin because it looks simple, maybe the smoke skin because it is very oily to play. But in any case, as long as it is a real seed material and the skin is true and unique, it is worth playing, but it is just a huge difference due to different sizes and shapes, different meat colors, different perceptions, different meat densities, purity, integrity, etc.

In addition, it seems that there are so-called red Hetian jade on the market, and those that are better are nothing more than Russian jade, Qinghai jade, and the red Qin of the end of the mountain material, and the almost dyeing, and even not jade at all, even the generalized Hetian jade is not considered a worthless stone such as quartz agate, anyway, the real red Hetian jade, even Emperor Kangxi did not get it. If anyone really has it, then it won't be a million grams or something, and it's completely possible to give tens of millions of grams this year.

Probably all but blue and green.

Sprinkle gold skin, jujube red skin, red skin, autumn pear skin, etc.

There are two kinds of Hetian seeds, one is Xinjiang Hetian seeds, the other is Russian seeds, because the seeds are formed from the upstream mountain materials in the process of glacier and crustal movement, it takes thousands of years and tens of thousands of years, after entering the river, the geological environment of each region is different, and the skin will be formed, some are colored skin, some are white but still have skin, the skin color belongs to the replacement of mineral components and oxidation, so all seeds have skin.

Hello. Hetian jade seed material has skin.

Of course. And there are quite a few on the market. Common means are as follows:

The first method: add fake leather on top of the leather of Hetian jade.

This method is to dye the dermal surface of Hetian jade. Generally, it is in the best Hetian seed material with skin, but because the color of the skin is not good enough, the color of the leather is added to the surface of the leather, so that the color of the leather is bright, and the profit is doubled, which is often called reinforcing leather in the industry. The layers of this kind of reinforcing skin are very distinct, there are real and false, so people really can't see it.

This is also the case for jade connoisseurs and those with some experience, and this kind of highly skilled fake leather can affect the judgment of buyers.

The second means: adding physical fake skin to the surface of Hetian jade.

Only high-quality and high-grade Hetian seeds will use this method, such as jade of the sheep fat jade. The material used to make physical fake leather is minerals, in order to make the fake skin look high-end. Using the naturally occurring minerals of the seed skin, we shorten the world of skin formation with our own formula, and use the materials to achieve the desired effect in the time it takes.

The third means: add fake skin to the seed material of Hetian jade defective products.

In the market of Hetian jade, it is difficult to sell the products that are poor in comparison and the color is not very good-looking. Therefore, the seller had to sell these low-grade seeds with fake skins. Buyers will be attracted by the color of jade and visually influenced, so that they cannot make correct judgments in their thinking.

Just looking at the color of the jade, it is easy to ignore and carefully observe whether there are pores on the surface of the jade, etc. However, the color of these fake skins is on the surface of jade, not the natural color of real leather, and the authenticity can be judged in the hands of connoisseurs.

In the current jade market, it is difficult to find both high-quality and good-quality jade, and there are many counterfeiting phenomena. Even players who have been in the business for a long time can't buy real jade 100%, after all, jade connoisseurs are also people, and there will be times when they are wrong. There are many colors of Hetian jade skin, and the counterfeiting methods of different skins are different, the difficulty is also very different, and the degree of realism is also different.

Therefore, jade players cannot follow the trend to collect jade, and need to master the basic knowledge and certain experience of Hetian jade before they can buy it. Players can't even watch ** being coaxed so high, so they buy it impulsively, and avoid blindly chasing the trend.

It is not as long as there is a skin is Hetian jade seed material, and Gobi material is also a kind of Hetian jade with skin.

1. The outer skin composition of Hetian jade seed material can be divided into two types.

1. The original skin of the trachoma hemp pit: refers to the fine sand hole like the epidermis, like an uneven hemp pit, which is divided into two types: fine and coarse;

2. Seqin original skin: It is due to the infiltration and penetration of other minerals in the river by a part of the seed jade, which has formed from the outside to the inside for many years, not only the epidermis is smooth, but also many colors appear. That's why it's called "Qinpi".

Second, the existence of Gobi materials.

In the Gobi Desert, which is about 160 kilometers from Nuerdo in Cele County in the east to Piyamando in Moyu County in the east, there are all kinds of seed jade and Gobi materials.

To sum up, the seed material was formed by the volcanic eruption hundreds of millions of years ago, and this oval-shaped primary ore body was stored on the seabed, and then after the crustal change and orogeny, the land of Xinjiang changed from the sea to the land, and the seed material also surfaced and existed in the desert to form the situation we see.

The rough stone of Hetian jade seeds, that is, the initial state of the seeds, is skinned.

The so-called skin is like a pebble, the traces of being washed by water, while Hetian jade is a skin with a certain color with the form of "sweat pores", or a stony epidermis. The reason why it is called "with skin" is because many Hetian jade (in the broad sense) such as Russian materials and Qinghai materials are pretended to be seed materials, and these mountain materials are skinless, so modern jade carving masters keep the skin in order to retain the "evidence" of the seed material.

And jade with an outer skin. It can be called Pu. The outer skin is an important appearance feature of Xinjiang Ziyu.

The outer skin is divided into colored skin and stone skin. - Skin color refers to a very thin layer of skin (about 1 mm thick) with yellow-brown or other colors on the surface of the jade, which is caused by oxidation. There are many kinds of skin colors, such as white, black, autumn pear, and sugar red.

In the industry, Ziyu is often named after the color of the outer skin of Ziyu, such as white-skinned, called "white-skinned Ziyu"; Those with black skin are called black-skinned jade, crow-colored ones are called crow-skinned jade, and those who are deer-skin-colored are called deerskin jade; Osmanthus color is called "osmanthus skin jade". The color is like brown sugar, called "sugar skin" (sugar skin, mountain water jade and mountain material jade are also common) and so on.

What is the difference between the skin of Hetian jade, the skin of seed material and the skin of mountain material.

There are the following differences between seed material with skin and mountain material with skin: 1. Skin characteristics: seed material has the characteristics of sweat pores, and mountain material skin has no pores. 2. The difference between thickness and thickness: the skin of the seed material is very thin, while the skin of the mountain material is thicker than the seed material as a whole.

Yes. When playing, the main thing is to keep your hands clean, don't let the dirt on your hands block the pores of Hetian Yu, and don't wipe it with body oil, which will also block its pores, which is not a good method. Cleaning is the first step of a good disc play step, first soak in warm water for two or three hours, and then wipe its impurities and then soak in hot water, the hot water temperature is about seventy or eighty degrees.

Novice players who don't deliberately play may be excited because of the contact with the new jade, and play it hard, so it doesn't work, even if the jade is played very smooth, the hands are bald, so we can play normally, if it's really violent to play, it's better to polish it directly with the machine, and the effect is not ideal, and the effect is not as fast as the effect of wearing it on the hand.

Note that the sweat and oil pendant only needs to be worn normally, there is no need to deliberately play, deliberately playing generally does not produce soft light, because it has a strong directionality. However, there will also be the effect of Hetian jade being polished, even so, it is not considered to play Hetian jade thoroughly, so if you want to experience its fun, you can play it normally.
