Wood green was a tremolite jade, and its grade could not be simply summarized. Judging from the color, the top-grade wood-analyzing jade was mainly made of yellow and green. There was a kind of yellowish linden tree in the wood analysis green. It was extremely rare and almost extinct. Its value was very high. In recent years, the price of Wood Analysis Jade had steadily increased after winning the Heavenly Works Award, and the price of the material was relatively high. However, the evaluation of Hetian jade grade would also integrate many factors such as jade structure, oiliness, carving technology, etc. If the wood green jade was fine and moist, oily, exquisite carving technology, plus its own color and production advantages, it could be classified as high-grade jade; if the jade structure, oiliness and other aspects were poor, it might be in a lower grade.

Hetian jade could be generally divided into four grades: high, medium, low, and fake. The seed material was the most valuable of all types of Hetian jade. From the perspective of investment and collection, it was considered high-grade. This kind of seed material appreciated the fastest and most ruthless, and was often bought by people who were not short of money. The middle-grade was a quality product with a certain appreciation space; the low-grade was of poor quality and basically would not appreciate; and the fake grade was fake. However, not all seeds were perfect. Most seeds would more or less have cotton, stiffness, crack, and other defects that affected their quality and value. The novel "Ledge" is equally exciting.

Green jade had a broad and narrow meaning. The broad meaning referred to green jade, and the narrow meaning referred to jade. If the green jade refers to the broad sense of green jade, it is difficult to unify the grades because it contains a variety of jade. If the green jade refers to the narrow sense of jade, its grade mainly depends on factors such as color, clarity, texture, and defects. It can be roughly divided into special grade, first grade, second grade, third grade, and fourth grade. Special grade jadeite was bright in color, high in clarity, clear in texture, and without obvious flaws. It was extremely expensive and rare. Grade one jadeite had better color and clarity, but its texture might be a little rough, so it was also very expensive. Grade two jadeite's color and clarity were slightly inferior to grade one jadeite, but its texture was clearer, so its price was slightly lower. Grade three jadeite's color, clarity, and texture were reduced, so its price was relatively lower. If there were fewer flaws, it would have a certain collection value. Grade 4 jade did not perform well in terms of color, clarity, and texture. It might have more flaws and the lowest price. It was often used to make crafts or imitations. However, to accurately determine the grade of jade required professional appraisal equipment and technology. The novel " Gilded Palm " is equally exciting. Everyone is welcome to click and read it!
Xiuyan jade is one of the four famous jades in China, but compared with Hetian jade in Xinjiang, Lantian jade in Shaanxi and Dushan jade in Henan, its economic value and collection value are usually lower. However, there were four grades of Xiuyan jade: special grade, first-class, second-class, and third-class. The special Xiuyan jade was dark green and had a wax-like appearance. It might look a little old at first, but after a long time, it would become smooth and oily. Its clarity was good, and there were no impurities or cracks inside. The texture was delicate. The first-class Xiuyan jade was green. Although it was relatively smooth and oily, it was still slightly inferior to the special grade. The quality of second-grade and third-grade jade decreased in turn. The color distribution of third-grade jade was uneven, similar to slightly transparent glass and contained obvious impurities inside. Although the value of Xiuyan jade in the traditional jade collection field was lower than the other three famous jades, Xiuyan jade 180 was produced at an altitude of 180 meters. The jade color was green and the texture was like jade. It was a high-quality jade material discovered in 1991 and had a high collection value. Moreover, Xiuyan jade had a wide range of practical application value, such as the manufacture of fertilizers, fire-resistant materials, pharmaceutical industry, extraction of metallic lithium, extraction of fiber crystalline Si, and so on.

The glutinous jadeite belonged to the mid-grade or high-grade jadeite. Overall, its quality was at a level that the public could afford. The price of glutinous jade varied greatly according to the quality of the glutinous jade. The price range ranged from a few thousand yuan to hundreds of thousands of yuan. For example, some fine glutinous jade with a fine base and bright green color (such as sun green, emerald green, apple green) could cost 100,000 - 300,000 yuan, which was comparable to the price of ice jade. This kind of jade belonged to the middle and high grade. The quantity of glutinous jade that was less than 10,000 yuan and a few thousand yuan was very large. Although this kind of jade was not of high-quality collection value, it was enough to be worn. It belonged to the ordinary or medium grade. In addition, the finished products made of glutinous ice jade basically belonged to the middle and high-grade jade. At the same time, there were also different types of jade. For example, the quality of glutinous jade and fine glutinous jade was often higher, while the value of ordinary glutinous jade and glutinous bean jade was relatively lower.

The Bazhou area of Xinjiang, where Korla was located, was rich in Hetian jade, mainly made of Qiemo sugar white jade, which occupied an important part of Hetian jade. Due to the existence of Qiemo Mountain materials, the jade trading market in Korla often attracted Uighur jade merchants to set up stalls, which also attracted jade lovers from all over the country to come to buy jade. The quality of Hetian jade in the Kuerle region of Xinjiang was famous. Its origin was mainly distributed in the edge of the Talimu Basin, such as Qiemo County, Ruoqiang County, etc. The production of Hetian jade in the Kuerle region accounted for nearly 60% of the total production of the country. It was the main production area of Hetian jade in China. The Hetian jade here had fine texture and warm color, which had extremely high artistic value and collection value.

The production of Hetian jade was a complicated and demanding process. In terms of material selection, one had to choose raw materials that met the requirements of toughness, density, volume, and other aspects of jade. Most of them used jasper and Qinghai green, which had the best toughness among Hetian jade. Moreover, they had to be of excellent quality and large pieces. Sapphire was also a more suitable raw material because the thinness required for white jade to make a thin tire would lose its original warmth. Elegant sapphire and bluish-white jade were relatively more suitable. In terms of design, there were many considerations for the thin-tire process. The thin base required the entire jade carving vessel to be of the same thickness at any angle. Only then would the color of the finished jade be consistent. Because the jade ware under the thin base process was basically transparent, the thickness was not uniform, which would cause uneven light transmission and affect the perception. This made it more difficult to choose the quality of the jade. One couldn't leave any blind spots in the chamber, so when designing, one had to consider the design direction according to the basic jade quality and shape of the jade material. This tested the craftsman's experience and design level, which was also the reason why most of the thin-base works were plates, bowls, and cups. The carvings and embellishments on the surface of the thin jade ware should conform to the characteristics of lightness and clarity. Usually, flowers and plants or regular border decorations should be used as the main material. There should not be too many layers of patterns, so as to avoid the uneven thickness caused by the pursuit of three-dimensional feeling during carving, which would affect the overall artistic performance due to the color difference of the carcass. The production process was extremely difficult. Craftsmen who could make thin tires had to work in the jade carving industry for at least ten years and understand this process. The shipping rate of thin tires was not high. Even if it was ten pieces of top-quality thin tires, they could only make five or six pieces at most, and it was time-consuming and laborious. Emptying the barrel was one of the most difficult processes in the production process. Previously, the price of the barrel was calculated according to the weight of the barrel compared to gold. In terms of polishing, all the steps in the early stages had to be done carefully, and the final polishing was even more difficult. In addition, Hetian jade thin-body jade articles could only be completed after many processes such as rough blank, grinding, thinning, polishing, etc. For example, when carving the pot body, first cut the flat bottom, and then the shallow embossed pattern to form a concave and concave visual contrast, enhancing the artistic performance effect. When "digging out the chamber", the solid jade material was hollowed out, so that the thinnest part of the wall of the object reached one or two millimeters. Finally, the color of the material contained in the object could be seen through the wall from the outside, and the various patterns on the outer wall could be seen through the wall from the inside. It was as thin as paper. The effect of the sound was like a floating fish floating on water. <a href="/?from=ask_words" style="color:red" target="_blank">Read more exciting novels for free</a>
Hetian jade was one of China's "four famous jades". It was a kind of nephrite. In the traditional narrow sense, it referred to the jade produced in Xinjiang, but it did not specifically refer to the jade produced Hotan Prefecture. It was the name of a class of products. Stones with more than 98% tremolite could be named Hetian jade within the national standard. The main origins of Hetian jade are China's Xinjiang, Qinghai, and Russia. It had a variety of colors and contained a small amount of minerals. Its value was not only reflected in itself, but also in history, culture, and human health. For example, since the Neolith Age, Hetian jade had always been an important part of China jade culture. It was an important symbol of politics and culture. It could also be absorbed through the skin to relieve heat and qi, improve human tissue cells, enhance immunity and disease resistance. It also had the effects of beauty, promoting blood circulation, beautification, decoration, and wealth. In terms of trading Hetian jade, there was a Xinjiang Hetian Jade Trading Center in Shanghai, located at 777 Quyang Road, Hongkou District. It was the first and only trading center in Shanghai that specialized in Hetian seed jade works. It was close to the Dabaishu subway station and Yixian Viaduct. It was convenient for transportation and close to the Tianshan Hotel, the only distribution center for Hetian jade raw stones in Shanghai. It had the advantage of presenting the jade's richness and exquisiteness. When buying Hetian jade, there were some principles to pay attention to: 1. ** Choice of Origin **: Buy the narrow sense (such as the local jade species in Xinjiang, such as Hetian seed, Qiemo sugar, Yutian white, Ruoqiang yellow, etc.) and not the broad sense (such as Luodian white, Guangxi black, Tanghe yellow, Babi and other broad sense "tremolite jade"); Although the traditional Hetian jade is mainly produced in Hotan Prefecture, the acceptance of Russian and Qinghai materials has increased. However, for "new Hetian jade" such as Ximu River grinding jade, yellow white old jade, peach seed material, non-professional players should wait and see. 2. ** Character Selection **: - In terms of the choice of seed material, the priority was to buy white seeds instead of pure leather, because the quality of the leather was difficult to guarantee and it was possible to buy Russian seeds. - As for Russian jade and Qinghai jade, they should buy the old pit instead of the new pit. The old pit Russian jade was bright and beautiful, with excellent structure and thickness. The Qinghai old pit material was impervious to water, rich in jade color and fine in jade quality, while the new pit material was of poor quality. - Buy jade quality first rather than whiteness, such as Hetian seed material jade quality is good but may flash green, and high white material is often loose structure or not mature enough. - Ordinary players should buy popular jade (such as Wild Bull Valley, Basha material, Mida material, Jinshan sugar, etc.), while niche products were more suitable for experts. - He bought hand-carved Hetian jade. Machine carving was mostly used for mass production of low-end jade, so its collection value was low. - Playing with it was more important than viewing it. Materials that could be played with were more playable. - Buy quality, not quantity. Cheap currency was not as valuable as a few fine items. - Buy the material that opens the door (that is, the material that is undoubtedly authentic). The material that is in doubt will lose the fun of appreciation. In terms of identifying the authenticity of Hetian jade, there were simple methods: one was to scrape with a knife (Hetian jade hardness 6 - 6.9, ordinary knife hardness 5.5, can scrape off foam is fake Hetian jade); The second was to measure the density (weigh the weight through an electronic scale, measure the suspended weight in the water with a measuring cup, divide the two to get the density. Most of the density of Hetian jade is between 2.85 - 3.05, you can measure it several times to ensure accuracy). If you travel to Xinjiang to buy jade, you can choose a regular old store like the National Jade League Shiyu. The quality is assured and there is after-sales guarantee (there is no reason to return the goods within 100 days). <a href="/?from=ask_words" style="color:red" target="_blank">Read more exciting novels for free</a>
