What's the slang in jade industry?

It is often said that jade is "too deep". Bian Xiao said that if you know some jargon, you won't be afraid of the water depth.

0 1

water head

Water head usually refers to water, which refers to the transparency of jadeite. High transparency is called long head and full head, and low transparency is called short head and poor head. There is also a theory of water crack, which refers to observing the transparency of jadeite with spotlight (point light source) and measuring the length of water head with the depth of light, such as water crack at 3mm depth, water crack at 6mm depth and water crack at 9mm depth.

02

price

In the jade trading, many new friends are at a loss about the "small six-price" price mentioned by the merchants, and think that this is "industry slang". In fact, it is not a price accurately, but a price range. (Not only jewelry stores often say this, but also other industries. )

Price expression: 1, 2,3 is small, 4,5,6 is medium, 7,8,9 is large, 5,6 is price digit (for example, 10000 is five digits). Together, the fifth is 70,000 ~ 99,999 yuan, and the sixth is 65,438 yuan.

What's the price of a certain price: for example, the price of the small six starts with 3, which is 300 thousand to 399999.

Small, medium, large, and mixed: for example, large, medium, large, five, and small six refer to the large number of medium pentavalent (60000 ~ 69999) and the decimal number of small hexavalent (100000 ~ 19999) respectively. It is similar to the meaning of "how much to open" above.

emerald

Emerald refers to the cleavage plane or crystal plane of clinopyroxene in jadeite, and its reflection of light looks like flake, needle or star flash, so it is called emerald. People in the industry often describe it as mosquito wings and fly wings. Generally speaking, the coarser the clinopyroxene particles, the easier it is to observe emeralds. (Emerald with excellent moisture after polishing or planting is almost invisible to the naked eye)

04

Cui Xuan

Xuancui, also called Xuanlv, is fake, a kind of artificially colored jade. It's similar to C goods, except that Xuan Cui is dyed green on purpose.

05

Goods a, b and C.

Jade A goods: refers to the jadeite that has only been mechanically processed and its color, structure and transparency remain in a natural state, that is, natural jadeite;

Jade B: It means that the low-grade jade is rinsed with strong acid to remove impurities and stains, and then the space lost by acid etching is filled with glue or epoxy resin glue. For the jade treated in this way, the appraisal certificate will indicate "Jade B" or "Jade Treatment";

Jade c goods: refers to jadeite and its finished products artificially added with foreign dyes or drugs. The method is to infiltrate the dye into the original colorless jadeite at high temperature and high pressure, so that all or part of it is dyed into emerald green or purple, but its color will fade and darken with time.

06

Stiffness and rigidity

Jade is very delicate in texture, closely combined with grain and high in hardness. Through polishing, the best light, shape and technology are perfectly unified, and the light sense is clear and sharp, with strong contrast. Ultra-pure jade surface makes the refractive index play a significant role, and the optical effect produced makes people feel as hard and resolute as steel surface.

07

Kira Chee

Jade has high transparency, good water head, fine particles and even and orderly arrangement. When the light passes through such jade, the edge will reflect a bright line, which is what we call yingguang. This kind of light is easier to shine on jade with a certain radian and arc surface. This is a visual expression.

08

size

As the name implies, it is like solidified glue. When you turn it, it will look like flowing glue under the action of surface light. The light reflected from the jade surface is complete and continuous. The reason why the surface of jadeite appears gelatinous is because the crystal particles inside jadeite are very small, so that gelatinous things can appear on the surface.

09

Grounding (bottom)

Refers to the texture of jadeite, which is mainly determined by its structure, transparency and impurities. Professional description refers to the comprehensive performance of jadeite except green.

hole

Pit is a vague concept. First, it refers to the difference of mineral deposits. When a deposit is formed in the process of scouring and transportation, the original stone with fine germplasm, sufficient moisture and good color is called old stone, and vice versa. Second, the mining time of the deposit is different, that is, the early mining is called the old pit and the later mining is called the new pit.

The biggest significance of the old pit and the new pit now is that the materials are different. The old pit is very thin, the head is long, the color is positive, the new pit is thick, the water is poor and the color difference is large. But old pits and new pits are not absolute.

1 1

cotton fibre

The cotton of jadeite is a kind of flocculent colorless inclusion, which exists between the particles and gaps of jadeite in a translucent to slightly transparent way. Common cotton is filiform, banded, banded, lumpy and foggy. Cotton exists in almost all jadeites, and the cotton in crystals can be seen faintly from the best to the old pit glass. This means "no cotton, no jade".

12

break

What is longer than the inside, which can't be dug, and what can be touched outside are called cracks, and cracks grow inside and can be touched outside. Cracking is the natural enemy of jadeite, because the value of cracked jadeite will drop sharply.

13

100-year egg

Pine blossom refers to some clumps, patches and strips like dry moss that are faintly visible on the jadeite epidermis. It is the trace left by the green weathering of jadeite raw materials. According to the depth, shape, trend, quantity and density of pine flowers, we can infer the depth, trend, size and shape of the green inside.

14

Spicy color

Green is the main color of jadeite, but it is also unpredictable because of different shades. If the green of a piece of jade is bright, rich and prominent, which is different from the common mild green, it can be called "hot color"! The word "spicy" expresses the delicate charm of jade, and at the same time vividly expresses the unique temperament of jade, which is lively, fashionable and bejeweled.

15

Thick piles are aligned with piles.

Thick pile, the comprehensive thickness of the length and width of the jadeite finished product, that is, there is a certain thickness and the lateral surface is relatively large. Simply put, it is thick and big.

For the pile, in the jade shop, when the guests choose the treasure, they look right. The first feeling is that he likes it, so this baby is just right for stacking (to your liking). The price is not involved here, just your "feeling" or "impression" of something.

16

buy out

Generally, jade transactions have a payment cycle. If you just say that if you buy it, you won't return it or change it, it's a direct buyout and a deal is made immediately. Usually, in order to reduce the risk of tossing, buyouts will give some price advantages.

17

Walking with one hand

In the process of buying and selling jadeite, merchants usually package the finished products of the same material (such as several jadeite buttons) or several treasures of different materials with similar colors for sale (not just for sale). This way is walking with one hand. At this time, their price is the first-hand price or the package price.
