The meaning of "nine out of ten jadeite stones cracked" was that due to the long process of formation and the harsh environment, coupled with geological movements (such as volcanoes, earthquakes, plate movements, etc.), natural disasters (such as floods, mudflows, etc.), mining, transportation, and other factors, most of the jadeite stones would have cracks. This was an unavoidable situation. This statement showed that it was rare to see no cracks in the raw jade. At the same time, it also reminded people to be fully aware of the cracks when choosing jade. The novel "Nine Levels of Purple" is equally exciting. Everyone is welcome to click and read it!
In the jade industry, there was a saying that ten jades were ten cracks, and ten jades were nine patterns. In the process of jade formation, from the mineral vein jade to the final jade, it had experienced many geological processes. For example, the original mineral vein jade was constantly broken under the erosion of geological movements and underground water, and the large rock jade was exposed to the surface and was continuously broken into small pieces by weathering and erosion of flowing water. The environment in which it was formed varied, resulting in different shapes of lock cracks, such as straight lines (including different sizes, lengths, and depths, which were the most common lock cracks), curved lines, connected shapes, loose shapes, etc. In the same piece of jade raw material, there may be many kinds of cracks at the same time. This is the reason why jade is prone to cracks, so there is a saying that "jade is ten stones and nine cracks". Moreover, once cracks formed, it would affect the value of the jade, especially high-grade jade. The number and length of cracks were inverse to the value of the jade.

" The jade is ten ice and nine cracks " was a common saying in the industry. In jadeite, the texture of ice jadeite was as transparent as ice. However, during its formation, due to the influence of various geological factors, such as crust movement, temperature changes, etc., there would be stress inside the jadeite. When the stress exceeded the endurance of the jadeite, it was easy to form cracks. These cracks could be different types of cracks such as ice cracks, so ice jadeite often had cracks, and there was a saying that " ten ice jadeite were cracked." However, this didn't mean that all ice jadeites had cracks. It just emphasized that the probability of cracks appearing in ice jadeites was relatively high.

Not all jade had cracks. The cracks may be caused by the jadeite being squeezed by external forces during the formation process, or it may be caused by human factors such as bumping and falling during mining or processing. Some jades were not affected by these cracks during the formation and processing, so there would be no cracks. The novel " Nine Levels of Purple " is equally exciting.

A jade bracelet with cracks would affect its value, but it was not completely worthless. The degree of impact of the crack on the value of the jade bracelet depended on many factors. The first was the type of crack. For example, a horizontal crack would seriously affect the firmness of the bracelet, which had the greatest impact on the value. The second was the extension surface of the crack. The larger the extension surface, the more obvious it was, and the greater the impact on the value. Generally speaking, for two jade bracelets of the same color, the price of the cracked bracelet might be lower than that of the perfect bracelet by more than half, or even more, about 50% - 80%. Moreover, the higher the quality of the jade, the greater the impact of the crack on the price. However, if the cracks could be avoided, inlaid, or painted with gold by the skills of the jade carver, the impact of the cracks on its value could be reduced to a certain extent.

The jade bracelet had cracks and could not be repaired. If the jade bracelet had cracks, different methods of repair could be used depending on the degree of the cracks. If there was only a slight crack, it would not pose much of a threat to the firmness of the entire bracelet. It could be handled by gold and silver. Gold or silver ornaments would be inlaid in the crack, which could cover the crack and prevent the second collision from causing the crack to increase. If you did not know how to operate, you could find a professional gold master to help design the inlaid gold or inlaid gold pattern. If the cracks were deep inside, or if it had already been broken, the method of embedding it with gold could be used. If the jade bracelet was broken, but not broken into several sections, only one fracture could be used to embed gold with jade. If the bracelet was broken into two or even several sections, gold and silver could be used to connect the fracture. If it was monotonous, they could also design individual patterns or add small accessories. If the bracelet was broken into several sections and one of the sections was too broken to be connected by the embedding method, gold or silver could be used to replace the damaged section to connect the bracelet again. You could also add a personal design element according to your preference, or consider removing the seriously damaged section and matching it with gold and silver to make the bracelet into a semi-open bracelet. If the bracelet was seriously broken and several sections were shattered, the broken part could be taken out separately and repaired with gold and silver to look like a bracelet. Or consider not repairing it into a bracelet and take out the broken part and use gold and silver inlaid to make other styles of jade jewelry. If the jade bracelet had penetrating cracks, it could be filled with high pressure. If the budget for the broken jade bracelet was tight and the chemical material was not a problem, the master could choose to use glue to bond it. However, the risk of the jade bracelet breaking again after this method was higher and would reduce the value of the jade bracelet. The novel "Ledge" is equally exciting.
