How to judge the quality of Hetian jade and white jade? What characteristics do novices generally use to identify fake suet jade?

The main mineral components of Xinjiang Hetian jade and white jade are actinolite and tremolite. Such mineral composition is a fiber interwoven structure, with fine and compact texture and good toughness, with glass to grease luster.

White jade is fat-white in color, can be slightly light blue, creamy yellow, has a fine and moist texture, good oiliness, and a small amount of stone flowers and other impurities; as the main product of Hetian jade, Hetian white jade is known as the "ten "Bai Jiu Song", what does this mean?

It turns out that "Ten White and Nine Pines" said that if this piece of jade has a very good color, then it may not be satisfactory in terms of density.

This phenomenon is related to the content of actinolite. Most of them are white in color and low in density because there are fewer actinolites. If there are more actinolites, the color will be greener and the texture will be finer.

Therefore, because the jade body of sapphire contains more actinolite, the crystal is more uniform and finer, and it looks more delicate than that of white jade.

According to the above reasons, it is not difficult to conclude: Hetian white jade with fine texture often has a "flashing green" phenomenon.

And the pure white Hetian white jade inevitably appears "ten white and nine pine". I hope you will not be surprised by this.

Hetian jade must be ten white and nine pine, but why does Hetian jade have this situation? I don’t know if you have thought about it, but what the old players often say is that sapphire is more delicate than white jade!

The fineness of jade with particularly good whiteness is often poor. The reason is the content of actinolite. If there are many actinolites, the texture is fine and the color is blue. Actinolite Sometimes the color is white and the fineness is not good, so old players often say that if it is a material with a particularly high whiteness, the structure is often loose!

Sapphire is because there are more actinolites, the jade body is condensed in an orderly manner, the crystals are smaller and uniform, and the filling is complete. The jade body does look better than the white jade of Shaoyang Qishi The delicate. Therefore, most of the high-quality Hetian white jade is "flashing green", while the pure white jade will appear "ten white and nine pine".

After knowing this truth, we can actually understand why the Hetian jade that many players like is blue, so we must pay attention to this point. When choosing Hetian jade in the future, You know how to choose!

mutton fat jade is a high-level existence in Hetian jade, but in the hearts of different people, the determination standard of mutton fat jade is also different. Because of this, everyone is very curious about what kind of Hetian jade is considered mutton jade.

I. Concept

Many novices confuse Hetian mutton fat jade and mutton fat jade grade Hetian jade, thinking that these two things are of the same level, but in fact they are not. In the traditional sense, Hetian sheep fat jade refers to the seed material sheep fat jade in the Yulong Kashi River, which is characterized by white color, fine structure, and old waxy oil. On the surface, it looks like a lump of mutton oil, which makes it very greasy.

This kind of suet jade is very rare in modern times, especially affected by over-exploitation. Now it is hard to find a piece of Hetian suet jade. Therefore, it is in the collection world. There is a saying that money is hard to buy.

Sheep fat jade grade Hetian jade has a wider range. In addition to the seed material of Yulong Kashi River, there are also Russian material, Hetian jade Qinghai material. The judgment is based on whether there are cracks, structure, embedding, etc. Anything with no cracks, no embedding, no structure, good whiteness, and tremolite content above 95% is suet jade. This kind of suet jade is more common in the market, and the market price is not low, but the appreciation space and potential are not as high as the previous one.

2. The mutton jade in the eyes of different people

For the newcomer Xiaobai, the whiteness of Hetian jade is mutton jade, regardless of whether he is Jade Dragon Kashi River materials, even Korean materials, Russian materials or Qinghai materials, are still considered to be the best. After all, if there are more suet jade, the price will not be so high.Therefore, the newcomer Xiaobai will think that the white must be suet jade. Regarding this, the collector said that the white one might be fake suet jade, and one cannot choose based on this.

The suet jade in the eyes of senior players is often unforgettable. The suet jade in the minds of such people is the best material and will not easily drop the standard. In their opinion, high-fat, high-moisturizing, high-fineness materials are truly worth having. Of course, the market price of such suet jade is also extremely high.

Many jade friends often confuse some jade with white jade with similar appearance to suet jade. So what are the characteristics of identifying fake suet jade?

1. The texture of mutton fat jade is very dense and delicate, with uniform crystallite size and comfortable hand feeling. The uniform structure of the jade can be clearly observed under the irradiation of transmitted light.

Second, the tighter the texture of suet jade, the stronger the oiliness it presents

three. The clarity is very high, there is no stone grain, impurities and asbestos and other blemishes

Fourth, the jade that does not have a good whiteness belongs to the suet jade, and the natural suet jade is a mild white Toned, and high-quality suet jade is observed under natural sunlight, it will reveal a light pink feeling.

The best quality jade in our country should be the "mutton jade" from Hetian, Xinjiang. It is white in color, fine in texture, dense in structure, and not brittle. Chinese folks believe that wearing jadeware can not only play a decorative role but also achieve fitness effects, and it also has the meaning of "good luck, longevity, peace and good fortune".

Sheep fat jade: The most precious white jade in seed jade is mutton fat jade, which is like white fat. The real suet jade is not only as white as suet, but it is never anti-green. Its oil content is very high, and it is not comparable to the common mountain material or Ziyu with the color of suet. The high difficulty of obtaining suet jade and its rarity, it can be said that if you have money now, you may not be able to buy the exquisite suet jade.

But now that they call themselves suet jade, in fact, most of them are high white mountain jade or sub jade. For example, the so-called "mutton jade" often seen on the market, if there is no skin, most of them are high white mountain materials.
