Do you know what jasper is? What kind of jade is jasper

Jade is a combination of minerals (rocks).

In nature, a single mineral crystal with bright color, transparent and flawless, high hardness, stable chemical properties, or slightly poor transparency, but with special optical effects, and a particle size greater than 3mm is called gemstone.

Gemstones are divided into organic and inorganic, the preciousness of organic gemstones lies in their rarity, and the preciousness of inorganic gemstones lies in their rarity, durability, and beauty.

Jade, the concept in the text is that the beauty of stone is jade. But now the more accepted statements are nephrite and jadeite. Nephrite is represented by Hetian jade, and jadeite is represented by jadeite.

In addition, there are differences between Dushan jade, Xiuyu, Lantian jade and other two kinds of jasper, the most important thing is the difference in composition. (Other jasper gemstones will be written one after another.) The composition is mainly actinolite, tremolite, is Hetian jade jasper, (tremolite ocinolite-based) Hetian jade belongs to the nephrite category.

Jadeite is jadeite. In addition, there are Lantian jade, Xiuyu, and Dushan jade. The composition of Guilin bloodstone jasper is mainly quartz, although it is called bloodstone jasper, but it is not the green color as imagined.

It's red. Its combined mineral composition is jasper rock. Explain several definitions, the most abundant in bloodstone is quartz, and others are cinnabar, cinnabar, magnet, hematite.

And the jasper in the back is jasper rock, and the main component of jasper rock is also quartz. The substance that is found in both jasper rock and bloodstone is chalcedony, what is chalcedony? Chalcedony is also a type of quartz.

Second, the refractive index of Hetian jade is different, and the refractive index of Guilin chicken blood red jasper is the largest similarity between the two, and the hardness is Mohs hardness) Bloodstone has soft ground and hard ground, 2-3 on soft ground, and 7 on hard ground, and the hardness of Guilin chicken blood red jasper here is similar to that of Hetian jade.

Taiwan Jasper: Taiwan jasper is produced in the Toyota area of Shoufeng Township, Hualien County, Taiwan, and is turquoise, so it was also called Hualien jade or Toyota jade or Taiwan jade. Taiwan jasper often has dark mineral spots and green markings.

In the early days, Taiwan jasper was a large number of handicrafts and throne products exported by Taiwan, which earned a lot of foreign exchange for Taiwan. However, due to the depletion of resources, environmental problems, competition problems, etc., Taiwanese jasper mining has been completely stopped in 1983, forcing Taiwanese jade merchants to import from Canada, and then re-export the imported Canadian jasper to foreign countries under the name of Taiwanese jasper. It is a nephrite variety with a good cat's eye phenomenon in tremolite, or tremolite cat's eye, actinolite cat's eye.

This type of sphalamite has a vitreous luster and is long in the form of long fibers, each of which is at least 2 cm long when viewed under a polarizing microscope and even 100 cm long when observed in the field. Its hardness is as high as that, which is higher than that of ordinary jadeite. The so-called cat's eye is a cat's eye jade ore after polishing and polishing, and there will be a slender bright light like a cat's eye in the middle.

The essence of the well-known opal is gold and silver gemstones, the essence is the cat's eye jade of jade, the earliest and famous in the world only produced in Taiwan, and then found in jasper in different regions, Hetian jasper and different colors have also appeared, but the number and varieties are extremely rare.

I have a string of high-quality jasper, and several friends want me to give it to them, but I have been reluctant to give it to them.

Jasper belongs to Hetian jade, beautiful color, delicate texture, translucent spinach green, including Xinjiang jasper, Tuojiang jasper, Russian jasper, etc. Xinjiang jasper has a delicate feel, Tuojiang jasper feels icy, and the appearance of Russian jasper is higher than that of Xinjiang jasper.

Jasper is a kind of Hetian jade, Hetian jade is recognized as the king of nephrite jade in the world, including black jade, jasper, green jade, white jade, topaz and other colors, usually topaz is the best, followed by black jade, then white jade, jasper, and finally green jade.

Features of Jasper:

The color of jasper is beautiful and bright, the texture is delicate and soft, it is oily or waxy luster, and it is translucent spinach green, which is mainly produced in Manas County, Xinjiang, so it is also called Manas jade. In addition to Xinjiang jasper, it can also be divided into Tuojiang jasper, Russian jasper, New Zealand jasper and so on.

It's not jasper, it's a piece of quartzite.

Quartzite is a metamorphic rock mainly composed of quartz (quartz content is greater than 85%), which is formed by metamorphism of quartz sandstone and siliceous rock. It is generally formed by the recrystallization of quartz sandstone or other siliceous rocks through regional metamorphism. It is also possible that quartzite is formed by thermal contact metamorphism of siliceous rocks near magma.

Makeup: decorate, dress up. Jasper makeup is a tree-high makeup, which means to dress up and modify the appearance.

It is a personification of rhetoric to personify the willow tree as a woman dressed in makeup, and the beautiful appearance of the willow tree full of green and slim trees is written. The author of this poem was written by the Tang Dynasty poet He Zhizhang.

The other refers to translucent, spinach-green nephrite, which is not uniform in color and structure, and sometimes contains bands and chromophores formed by epidote and magnetite.

The mineral composition of nephrite is mainly tremolite-actinolite, and the chemical composition is calcium, magnesium, iron silicate, and the hardness is 6. The texture is delicate, oily or waxy, and has a slippery feel. It is mostly used to make utensils or file handicrafts.

It is customary in the Chinese jade craft community to refer to foreign nephrite (which is overwhelmingly green) as jasper.
