Distinguishable jadeite elementary knowledge


The good colour, has not had the quality of material

The expert said that the jadeite the transparency is the quality of material, the quality of material good is the transparency high meaning. Although some jadeite colour bright attractive, but the transparency is bad, this kind of jadeite is called has the good colour not to have the quality of material, the value cannot be very high.

Because the transparency is bad, when the light shines when its surface cannot penetrate, can reflect only from the surface, its green cannot penetrate the light to refract, makes the human to feel that this jadeite the colour is very stodgy. Therefore the good jadeite must be the colour and the quality of material superior in both aspects.

Fortune, Wealth, Longevity

The jadeite colour is multicolored, specially many kinds of colours simultaneously exist in a jadeite. If in the same jadeite simultaneously has the green, red, purple three kind of colour time, this jadeite will be considered that will be the very propitious symbol; It is representing three kind of happy expression. In particular three kind of colours can the uniform distribution in the bracelet, be able to be very rare. If it has the good colour and good quality of material time, is not poor on the value.

"Shuei Tou"

The "Shuei Tou" is the expert words, this is refers to the jadeite the transparency, the transparency is high, the expert is called the "Shuei Tou" to be full, in turn, the transparency is bad, is called the "Shuei Tou" not to be full. In observation jadeite "Shuei Tou" time must be very careful, because the transparency and jadeite thickness has the relations. Must be careful specially among some jadeite end product is passes through the hollow, obviously has been thin because of the hollow partial jadeite, the diaphanous performance was quite good, looks like as if the "Shuei Tou" full many. On the other hand, the transparency higher jadeite quality of material is better, the price certainly was more expensive. The glass quality of material jadeite, the quality of material is insightful, the "Shuei Tou" is i.e. sufficient.

"Di Czue" base

When speaks of the jadeite quality of material, often must mention the jadeite "Di Czue" type. The "Di Czue" calls the background, the abbreviation “” or “the bottom”, what refers to is the jadeite except the green part foundation part, is called "Di Czue", is also the bottom colour meaning, the common background has the following several kinds.

glass base

Completely transparent, glassy lustre. The jadeite transparency and the gem are different, the good glass bangle seems the transparent like quartz, does not have the impurity.

water base

Transparent like water, glassy lustre. With glass similar, has the few impurities.

egg-white base

The quality of material is similar to the chicken eggwhite, the glassy lustre. Translucent, but is quite pure, does not have the impurity.

gruel-like base

Jadeite appraisal knowledge

The jadeite and calls Burma the jade, because its degree of hardness high, bright and clean bright, also colour both bright gentle, therefore has the very high store of value and the collection value, is called “in the jade the king”. By very many love jade, the jade person is liked. Japan, New Zealand also make the jadeite for our country “the country stone”. Because the jade jadeite produces in the close neighbour China's Burma, and the majority of end products process in China the special geography relations, add the Chinese to jade jadeite special being partial to, the Western country also generally thought that the jadeite is China “the country jade”.

Knows the Burmese jade jadeite the colour

The Burmese jade jadeite's colour because of the region custom's difference, its segmentation method has the difference slightly, in jade kingdom's Burma, divides into the jadeite three broad heading 12 ranks. The domestic jewellery acts according to its emerald green the difference, subdivides it to 30 rank.

Beside the green jadeite except its lustre gorgeous, is very durable, it does not divide the status, the status, the age, the sex to be possible to wear. Therefore conforms to the Chinese to contain, gentle, refined, the kind disposition very. The social demand climbs day by day. Price also doubled and re-doubled, even hundred time of place growths. At present, in the international market Man a Lv emerald green bangle, the price has reached as high as more than 1000 ten thousand Yuan. Even if is the emerald green slightly Burma jade accessories, so long as is really a goods, flood peak foot, craft limpid, colour harmony, is also expensive.

Jadeite graduation and simple appraisal method

No matter says from the yield or the mineral reserves, the good jadeite is very limited, therefore, some speculators and are concerned only about profit the merchant then “while thin” enters. Creates a false impression, sells the vacation massively, seeks money. Even if in jadeite kingdom's Burma, the counterfeit goods also government office ascends is. The false stone, the false accessories find at everywhere.

At present in market popular management Burmese jade type, according to the genuine and fake rank division, mainly has the following four kinds:

A class

Is not only the natural quality of material, is also the natural lustre. Selects and purchases should focus with the distinction from the following three spots.

1)The discrete judgement, considers the conduct. As a result of the mineral resource and the yield relations and the people demand big special condition, in the market the very good jadeite are at present few. The colour is specially Paris green, the background translucent variety few are also few.

2)Generally like the rice seedling is green, the wave dark green, the jade colour or the violet flutter flower's variety to work as for common.

3)Under the light the visual observation, the quality of material is exquisite, the colour is gentle, the grain is obvious; Slight hit, sound clear delightful; The hand hefts to have the serious feeling, distinguishes obviously between other lithical.

B class

Will have the black spot popular name “dirty” the jadeite, with the strong acid immersion, the corrosion, removes “dirty” “the cotton and kapok” to increase the transparency, uses the high pressure again pours into the epoxy resin or the substitution filling material in the micro crevasse which corrodes with the strong acid produces, plays the backfill, the solidifying crevasse role.

1)The B class at the beginning of goods the color is good, the careful observation, the color sends hangs sends evilly, under the lamp observes, the color transparency is weaken.

2)The B class goods tarnish gradually in two years, the whole body crack, becomes very ugly. This is causes by the strong acid to its original quality destruction.

3)The density drops, weight saving. The slight hit, the sound was depressed, has lost a goods clear sound.

C class

Completely artificial note colour.

1)The first observation, the colour is not positive, sends evilly.

2)Under the lamp examines carefully, the colour is not exists naturally in jadeite crystal, but is the backfill in the mineral crevasse, presents the netted distribution, does not have the colour root.

3)With the Charles ray filter observation, the green changes red or colourless.

4)Sheds the character spirit with the force to scour, the superficial colour can 夠 remove or become brown.

D class

Pretends to be the jadeite accessories' D class goods mainly to have the following two broad headings.

1)Namely other jade nature pretends to be the jadeite. Mainly has the Thai jadeite and the Malaysian jadeite, the Nanyang Dushan jade, the Qinghai jadeite, the dense jade and the Australian emerald and the Dongling stone and so on. Above jadeite and Burmese jadeite difference: First, degree of hardness is low; second, density small (weight light), the gloss is weak.

2)Green glass and green plastic
These substitute majority of colours are in a daze ugly, the gloss is very weak. The relative density is very light, degree of hardness low (may engrave with nail moves), not cool feeling.



Jadeite compact graduation

The jadeite compactness is also judges the jadeite quality the important basis. The jadeite structure is thinner is better. The person concerned is as follows to the jadeite structure's thick thin degree graduation.

Sends the level of secrecy

The naked eye and the magnifying glass are very difficult to observe the jadeite pellet. The jade nature is exquisite, the transparency is high. May say is in the jadeite best quality goods.

Thin level of secrecy

Under the magnifying glass can see the jadeite pellet. Transparently to translucent. The pellet diameter should be smaller than 1mm.

Grade

May look very easily jadeite pellet. Diameter generally about 1--3mm. Because the structure is rough, therefore has affected the transparency greatly. Therefore this rank jadeite's transparency is translucent to the subtranslucent.

Thick grade

Very easy to see the jadeite pellet. And the pellet is bigger than 3mm generally directly. The subtranslucent to is not transparent. The jade nature is rough.



The jadeite selects and purchases general judgement principle

First quality's jadeite said that it is the jadeite, the colour, passes, uniform, the shape, to knock is the average person watches or the appraisal jade method, and divides into the jade: The glass plants, the deep colour old pit, the old pit, the gold thread, the oil clear, pea green, the cyanine, the melon blue and so on. And plants by the glass the jadeite is high-grade goods, but “the moisture content” is especially high, transparency good named “the ice to plant”, may say that is “the glass plants” the valuable thing. The major part purchase jade bracelet's consumer has such experience possibly, that is a business when your surface will knock the jade bracelet, listens to look whether its sound clear won't contain muddy, but take clear will have the echo good melodiously as. Does this is wants to prove that the jade the crystal close quality of material is good, and does not have the crack.

1.Recovers the tender green to have the value.

2.Transparency: The jadeite internal Crystallises the Organisation close quality of material to be good, transparency also with high, we said “the glass plants” is this transparency high jadeite, because if jade itself chromic rich, then formed the ice to plant the jadeite, and the value Philippines difficult not to strive.

3.The colour is uniform: Besides the colour tender green, the transparency is high, but must the tone even be the high-grade goods.

4.Slight defect: Whether there is can pay attention to the crack, the spot and so on, these slight defects can affect the jadeite the quality.

5.Shape: The majority jadeites abstain the surface are the ellipse egg face shape, has many kinds of as for other shapes, the shape quality and beautifully to the jade price is also influential.

6.Engraver or grinding work: Carves baldric its free time the quality and symbolic Italian righteousness is influential to the price.

7.Size, thickness: The same quality's jade is certainly is high by big and the thick price.

8.Gloss: Besides the above condition, the gloss must be bright, cannot be gloomy.

The above method, is only an author's experience and the experience, must appraise accurately truly must draw support the science and technology and the advanced technology. If the high power enlargement big mirror observation, the survey density and the thermal conductivity, infrared spectrum Laman examine and so on.



Choice and estimate principle

The colour, passes, uniform, the shape, to knock is the average person watches or the appraisal jade method, and divides into the jade: The glass plants, the deep colour old pit, the old pit, the gold thread, the oil clear, pea green, the cyanine, the melon blue and so on. And plants by the glass the jadeite is high-grade goods, but “the moisture content” is especially high, transparency good named “the ice to plant”, may say that is “the glass plants” the valuable thing. The major part purchase jade bracelet's consumer has such experience possibly, that is a business when your surface will knock the jade bracelet, listens to look whether its sound clear won't contain muddy, but take clear will have the echo good melodiously as. Does this is wants to prove that the jade the crystal close quality of material is good, and does not have the crack.

Jadeite jade processing of raw material jade carving end product working procedure

1. raw material processing including choose the material and open the material. The jade jadeite material is very generally precious, must measure the material selection, the full use, achieves “does not have the waste material basically” the situation.

2. design craft perfect jade carving, should be material quality US and the modelling US's ingenious union. Some jade material must key highlight its colour US, like manufactures a maitreya buddha in the design, should as far as possible Paris green arrange in his/her stomach department and is not suitable arranges in the forehead; But if has red the jade one (red skin) the jade material processes a goose, must the jade red arrangement on the bump on the head; Also if looks like the jade jadeite material on is the dirty black block carves Ji Gong's black fan, then does not will certainly to dig black, instead will cause the jade carving value to be higher.

3. ponders over the craft to have following step generally:

slots outside the line with the diamond wheel the useless part.

The chisel saws the convex-concave depth further chisel with a diamond round root to go to the useless part.

Flushes with the diameter 3-4 centimeter small circle steelyard weight (or diamond wheel), the uneven part will flush the jade carving thick semifinished product.

Rubs differently rubs the steelyard weight produce by rubbing detail drawing with the size. Like produce by rubbing person point, hand and streamer and so on.

Rolls over with rolls over the steelyard weight refinement. Like removes the fine hairs from face, opens the eyebrow, to roll over the spur, the nose, the ear and so on.

Cancels with cancels the steelyard weight to rake out a slighter pattern. Like rakes out Long Lin, the phoenix wool and character's hair and so on.



polishing decoration craft:

Jade carving polishing

Generally has two ways, to all alone the jade carving (for example jade bracelet, jade buckle, chicken heart, hangs gallbladder and abstains surface) multipurpose manual polishing; To the Goddess of Mercy, the maitreya buddha and plant flowers respectively and so on, then under dipping machine polishing. Dipping machine polishing needs the time to be long, probably passes through about one week to be able to complete, but a time can polish in large numbers one.

Jade carving decoration

The decoration goal has two; first, beautified product; Second, protects the product. The decoration form has the place and the chest two kinds, the place is enhances the jade carving status the main decoration; The chest lays aside jade carving's swathe.



How does the jadeite is form

How does the jadeite is form? The folk has many mysterious fables; Geologist before has regarded as it a riddle, once some people thought that the jadeite and the diamond are the same, is in earth's crust depth portion several thousand degrees high temperatures, under the high-pressured condition crystallises forms.


Being in effect it is not so; The US many geophysicist has done the massive simulation experiment in the laboratory, the recombination the world discovery jadeite ore deposit actual situation, they believed that the jadeite is not forms in the high temperature situation, but deteriorates under the - low temperature condition under extremely the high pressure the origin.

Japan Northeast University granulated substance Sichuan eldest son professor in "Words Said that Gem" (in 1983 publication) in a book, more concrete pointed out the jadeite is and the quite low temperature (200-300'C) under forms in 10,000 atmospheric pressure. The Earth arrives at the depth portion from the surface, is higher toward the deep place temperature, the pressure is also bigger; But the jadeite is not only crystallises the formation under the low temperature high pressure condition, certainly is impossible to be in the deep part, then the high pressure does come actually from where?

This high pressure is because the diastrophism causes the extrusion pressure forms, already obtained the confirmation, every has the jadeite ore deposit distributed region, is the diastrophism intense region. Also has other factor is: Every discovery has the place which the jadeite forms to have including the albite igneous intrusion (~ basic crag). The albite chemical composition is NaAlSi3O8, therefore may extrapolate that the jadeite is under the ~ low temperature, the high-pressured condition by contains the albite rock to go to the silicon function to form.

Jadeite and physical and moral integrity

Since the ancient times, the jadeite is the precious decorations which the people like, in China especially so. As early as in the Qing Dynasty, the domestic and foreign recognition jadeite for China's country stone, has “the Yellow Emperor jade” and “in the jade the king” the fine reputation. The jadeite by gorgeous, rare, Gao Zhi and the diamond, the pearl, the gem series regards as the magnificent and expensive symbol.

Usually, the green jade drills the treasure the colour to have certain connotation and the Italian righteousness, this is also precisely they respective disposition. For example, the white (diamond, pearl, quartz) expressed that chaste, is sacred and is lofty; The blue colour (dark blue treasure, loose rock, lapis lazuli) expressed that beautiful, is tranquil and is fresh; The yellow (holds handkerchief stone, alexandrite, topaz) to express that temperate, is bright and is joyful.

But jadeite, jade for red, expression warm, vigorous and healthy and hope; The green jade is the green, expression peace, the youth and the vitality. Because is precisely the jadeite colour disposition is symbolising the vigour, the riches and honour and benefits long-lived, has concentrated the Chinese nation disposition characteristic, therefore it receives Chinese people's deep affection especially.

It is well known, the green jade drills jewellery's use is takes each kind of design the jewellery and the craft high-quality goods. In addition, also has in the industry and the medical service very multi-purpose; The diamond (after has not pondered over “diamond” original stone, touches degree of hardness 10, 絕 to degree of hardness 10000Kg/mm2, proportion 3.25), the quartz (chemical composition SiO2, touches degree of hardness 7, proportion 2.65), the ruby (chemical composition AI2O3, touches degree of hardness 9, proportion 3.99), the olive cable stone (chemical composition (MgFe)2SiO4, touches degree of hardness 6.5-7, proportion 3.5) and so on may use in electronic, the drilling, the laser, the bearing, the metallurgy aspect.

And, the diamond is in the world the hardest material, has the index of refraction to be big, chromatic dispersion strong and so on characteristics, therefore 80% original stones apply approximately for the industry. The crystal industry use is also quite broad, may grind the spectacle lenses, can make electronic instrumentation's important part, like in crystal oscillator's crystal chip; Also because its degree of hardness not Yi Huamo and can penetrate the ultraviolet ray, is also optics industry important raw material. Moreover world famous eight valuable ink pads, eight precious raw materials include the ruby, the coral, the quartz and the pearl.

As for in the medical domain's application, the pearl, the amber, the coral and so on curative effect as early as stipulated in the motherland medicine's classics: The pearl energy “the peaceful soul, stops the wet dream gonorrhoea, Xie Dou cures the poison”; The amber energy “disperses the stasis to pass drenches overcomes one's fears”; The coral energy “decides the startled epilepsy, the clear vision nebula”. Nowadays has the prepared medicine “the bead shell to alleviate shortness of breath the pill” as well as the medical beauty product pearl frost and the amber and so on which does health care diet and so on.　

Since old times the folklore to wear certain jewellery like coral to hang the string to have “overcomes one's fears against evilly”, “drives the disaster to take refuge from danger”, “expedites the midwifery” and so on mysterious guard's skill, although has the superstition colour, but also does not have the real diagnosis examination until now, Shang Nan gave the science appraisal. At present, the concerned scholar has carried on the preliminary observation from the health study angle to the jadeite, thought that it (conserves one's health health to the health, to grow the soul health, against illness to treat an illness) has certain relation.

The jadeite is the pyroxene race rare sodium aluminium pyroxene, its main chemical composition NaAI(Si2O6). Rests on the healthy esthetics basic principle, in the material world chemical element the environment has positive and the negative dual influence to the human body inside and outside; And some can 夠 the promotion health, some be possible to impair the health. O and H2O are bases of the life, is in the maintain life process the essential material; As, HCN, CO may cause the human the arsenic, the cyanogen poison or the gas poisoning died, threaten seriously health. The synthesis looks at the jadeite content ingredient, after the preliminary analysis, non-harms body's compound, some ingredients must for the maintenance normal function.　

China ancient times take wore the jadeite to drive the disaster to take refuge from danger as the charm amulet, looking from the psychologically healthy, might to content life yearning, benefit the long-lived hope to the keeping in good health. This popular tradition extension until now, south China, areas and so on You Yiyue, Fujian, Taiwan, port is more common.　

In the jadeite chemical composition can play the compensation to the human body, is advantageous in the enhancement immunity, enhances metabolism function, thus the improvement physical and moral integrity, has the prevention and the strong function. Its mechanism with the magnetism therapy piece, the health care wristwatch, the fitness ball which is in vogue of the same kind similar. The observation indicated that the front wears at the belt the green jade falls (does not use money mosaic) the effect to be better, demonstrated after tracing, if falls the green jade puts in the front acupuncture point, drawing close to “the dragon chin”, “Shenfu” the extraordinary points, causes the body surface instead to keep one's promises and to follow leads after the transmission should the phenomenon produce especially ideally.

Because the acupuncture point is vitality of infusion the body internal organs, the channels and collaterals in body surface's spot, it has both against illness and the therapeutic action. “the dragon chin” and “Shenfu” is prevents and controls the chest in acupuncture study to be stuffy, to be grieved...

What it is necessary to point out that at present in the market condition has very many jadeite imitation item sells. These counterfeit the mimic along with the modern craft improvement, often confuses falsehood with the truth, passes off fake articles for the real thing, needs the careful recognition. Every not after ingredient analysis false not suitable placard body baldric, by against virulent element harm physical and moral integrity.
