-Water for Jade

Jade without seeds is like a creature without trunk, and jade without water is equivalent to something without soul. Without water, everything has no life and no aura. No wonder the ancients said that benevolent people like mountains and wise people are close to water.

without the color of water, it is dead, dry and wooden, that is, worthless things. The green color of jadeite can only be an aura thing on the jade meat with water. With water. Color can change, be dynamic, be reflected and be the crystallization of the essence of heaven and earth.

when it comes to jade water, everyone knows that jade with good transparency is just water, and water is the brightness of jade. This is an incorrect or inaccurate concept. Water refers to the different appearances of light propagation and surface refraction in jadeite, which includes the transparency of jadeite and the surface luster of jadeite. In other words, the better the transparency of jadeite, the brighter the surface luster of jadeite and the better the water of jadeite. On the contrary, the worse the transparency of jadeite, the weaker the surface luster and the worse the water of jadeite.

first, talk about the transparency of jadeite. What determines it? If the internal crystals of jadeite are fine and uniform in size, the light can pass through the interior of jadeite smoothly and form better transparency. If the crystals are thick or uneven in size, it will be difficult for light to pass inside the jade, so the water in the jade is poor. When judging the original jadeite stone, according to the distance that the sunlight can pass inside the jadeite at noon, some people divide it into one division, two divisions and three divisions. . . That is, light energy passes through one centimeter, two centimeters and three centimeters inside. This is aimed at raw materials. At the skylight, a foreign iron sheet is used to perpendicular to the jade surface, so that light can only pass through the jade, and how much light can shine in from the other side of the iron sheet blocked by light. This can only be seen by the transparency of jadeite, which is only one aspect of jadeite water. Because there are some jadeites with good transparency, the species is very new and the surface polishing is poor, we can't say that the water of this jadeite is very good.

the surface luster of jadeite is an important aspect of jadeite water. If the species of jadeite is good, the internal structure of jadeite is tight and the surface luster of jadeite is good. That is to say, it can be polished and bright. It is for this reason that we often talk about the species of jadeite together with water. This is very scientific. Sometimes, we see jadeite with poor transparency, but the jadeite is very old and its surface can have a good luster after polishing. We can't say that its water is poor, but it should be passable. In my opinion, it is better than those jadeites with good transparency and poor surface luster and poor water. At least I will buy the former instead of the latter. Of course, jade with good surface luster and transparency can be considered as having good water. This kind of jadeite will also be very good.

when we judge the water content of jadeite, we mainly judge it by experience, except for the above-mentioned standard judgment on the transparency of jadeite when raw materials are used. Besides careful observation, we mainly use the method of comparison. Using a piece of jade that you are familiar with and comparing it with the jade to be judged, you can quickly draw the conclusion that the water is good and the water is bad.

In the comparison, we should pay attention to the following issues:

First, we should pay attention to excluding the interference of other external substances. Check the jadeite first, and pay attention to whether there is any oil residue on the surface. Because some jadeites are difficult to grow water, in order to improve their performance, they are often soaked in oil until someone is ready to buy them. If this is the case, the score in the judgment of planting water will be greatly reduced. There is also wax, and the wax coated on the surface will also improve the performance of planting water.

Secondly, we should pay attention to the comparison with the same kind of light. If the light is different, the refracted light we see will definitely be different, and the light propagation in the jade is completely different. Therefore, we should pay attention to the intensity of light, the angle of light and the color of light.

thirdly, we should note that the surface luster of plain jadeite, especially curved jadeite, is better than that of jadeite with carved flowers under the same kind of water. In particular, jadeite with good water can collect light well under the condition of curved surface, so that the light from the outside can not be refracted in the jadeite and spread again, forming a crystal clear scene. People often call it fluorescence. To achieve this situation, it can also be said that the essence of jade is vividly interpreted.

[ knowledge of jadeite]-water, species and color of jadeite (2)-species

species of jadeite

"species" refers to the structure and structure of jadeite, which is an important symbol of jadeite quality. The jadeite of new "species" (also known as Xinkeng New Factory, etc.) is loose in texture, coarse in particle size and uneven in thickness, rich in impurity minerals, and well-developed in cracks and micro-cracks, but the transparency is not necessarily poor, and the specific gravity hardness has decreased. The jadeite of the old "species" (also known as Laokeng Laochang, etc.) has fine and dense structure, fine and uniform particle size, and undeveloped micro-cracks. It has the highest hardness proportion and is of good quality. But transparency is not necessarily good. The new and old jadeite is between the new and old jadeite, and it is the jadeite that remains in the original place on the hillside and has not been naturally transported or transported in a short distance. The new jadeite is the raw material for making jadeite B. (Of course, I personally think that the new pit material is not necessarily worse than the old pit material. There are also fine products in the new pit, but the old pit material has been naturally screened and is generally superior to the new pit material.)

According to the species, it can be roughly divided into the following fifteen kinds:

One of the varieties, the old pit species:

The old pit species is mainly used to describe the color of jadeite in the eyes of ordinary people. This kind of thick green is evenly distributed, with high concentration and bright sunshine. Generally, it is fine in texture and not necessarily transparent. If it has high transparency and sufficient water head, it will make the color and texture of jadeite look better. Experts call it sparkling and bright, and it is called old pit glass species or old pit ice species.

1. Old pit glass species

The old pit glass species is bright and colorful, with positive and not evil colors, pleasing to the eye, even and harmonious colors, which will be appreciated after seeing it. Jadeite crystals are micro-granular, uniform in particle size, invisible to naked eyes, pure and free of impurities, fine in texture, free of cracked cotton lines, with high transparency, glass luster and glass-like appearance. Many people subdivide glass species into glass species and quasi-glass species. The glass seed has enough water head (3 moisture), is very transparent and has excellent texture. Quasi-glass has good water head (2 moisture), transparency and good texture. The old pit glass species can be said to be the title of the highest-grade jadeite. Of course, the old pit glass species itself has relatively high and low quality.

The processing ornaments made of glass materials in Laokeng can be made into plain shapes (oval egg-shaped, pear-shaped, square, heart-shaped, horse-eye-shaped, saddle-shaped and nostalgic), pendants, bracelets and round beads, which are the best in high-grade.

2. Ice species in Laokeng

The ice species in Laokeng are bright and colorful, and the color is positive and not evil, the color is sunny and pleasing to the eye, and the color is even and harmonious. Jadeite crystals are fine and uniform in size, and the crystal grains can be distinguished by naked eyes. Jadeite is pure and free of impurities, fine and moist in texture, with no cracked cotton lines or few. When hitting the jade body, it is metallic and brittle, transparent and glassy, and the jade looks like ice crystals. Many people divide ice species into ice species and quasi-ice species. The head of the ice seed is enough (1.5 moisture), which is very transparent and excellent in texture. Quasi-ice seed has good water head (1 moisture), translucency and good texture.

The processing ornaments made from the raw materials of Laokeng ice seeds can be made into plain shapes (oval egg-shaped, pear-shaped, square, heart-shaped, horse-eye-shaped, saddle-shaped, nostalgic), pendants (with multiple display surfaces), pendants, bracelets and round beads, which are high-grade.

the second colorless species of the variety:

is colorless, light in color, less in color, and transparent-translucent. Jadeite crystals are fine columnar and fibrous (metamorphic) aggregates. The crystal grains can be distinguished by naked eyes but not clearly. The texture is fine and moist, with no cotton wool and stone flowers or few. The sound of hitting the jade body is metallic and brittle.

ornaments can be processed into pendants, pendants and bracelets, which belong to high and middle grades.

the third variety:

the white-background green species is one of the most widely distributed jadeites in Myanmar. It is characterized by fine texture, often fiber structure, and the background color is generally white, of course, sometimes there are some impurities. Usually, white is the background, green floats like a "cloud", and the "cloud" is clustered, lumped, sliced and island-shaped, with fine texture, the jade body is opaque and partially slightly transparent, and the jadeite crystal is in a micro-columnar, fiber (metamorphic) aggregate, and the crystal outline can be recognized by the naked eye, and the sound of hitting the jade body is a stone-metal brittle sound. Blue with white background is characterized by white background, in which bright green is distributed in spots. Bright green blocks are formed by chromium. Analysis by electron probe shows that it contains high chromium, so the color of the green species with white background is extremely bright and bright. The green color of green species with white background is more vivid, because the background color is whiter and more green and white. Most of the green parts appear as lumps, which are different from the flowering green species in these aspects. Most of the green species with white background are opaque, that is, experts say that the water head is insufficient. They think this is a new variety.

Most ornaments are processed into pendants, pendants and bracelets, and some of the carvings are transparent and belong to high-grade, mostly middle and low-grade.

variety 4:

Huaqing refers to a kind of jadeite whose green distribution is veined and very irregular. Its background color may be light green or other colors, and its texture may be coarse or fine. For example, the bottom of the bean is blue, and its structural grains are coarse, which is called the bottom of the bean. Its irregular color, sometimes densely distributed, may also be sparse, can be deep or shallow, so this kind of jadeite is called flower green species.

The color distribution of jadeite is mostly irregular, so it is not surprising that there are many kinds of flowers and greens. In fact, it can be further divided into: bean bottom flower blue, horse seed flower blue, oil bottom flower blue and so on.

Huaqing is a kind of jadeite, which is characterized by irregular green distribution.

the fifth variety, Youqing species:

Youqing species is a kind of jadeite with fine texture, permeability and dark color as oil. Refers to the darker green of jadeite. The color is not pure green, mixed with gray or with some blue, so it is not bright enough, or it can be said that the color is dull. Its color can be from light to dark, its transparency is generally good, and its crystal structure is often fibrous and can be fine. Because its surface luster is like oily luster, it is called oily green species. If its color is deep, experts also call it melon skin oily green. There are two kinds of oil green species: one; Dark blue tone, good water, blue-gray tone under the light, without green tone. Second; Blue-green tone, green tone under the light, good water. Through research and analysis, the former oil-green jadeite contains more than 1% ferrous ions without chromium. The latter kind of turquoise jade contains trace amounts of chromium and iron.

In addition, there is a kind of "jade" called oil green, which has the same color tone as the two oil green jadeites mentioned above, but the hardness is only 5.5~6, and the specific gravity and refractive index are very different from those of jade. After research, it mainly contains omphacite, followed by jadeite, which does not contain chromium, but contains iron. It should be called omphacite jade or omphacite jade.

six varieties of beans:

if you go to the jade market, when you see that the jadeites are not very transparent, the color is average and the concentration is not high, that is, the color is not deep, if you ask what kind of jadeite is this? You will hear the answer that this is a bean seed, and you will also find that many jadeites are called bean seeds, and in the jargon, "ten green and nine beans".

bean seed is a very vivid name. Jadeite is a kind of polycrystal. If the crystals that make up Jadeite are thicker, such as more than one millimeter, it will be easily seen by naked eyes. Most of the coarse jadeite crystals are short columns. When the boundaries of these short columns are clear, they look like mung beans, so they are called bean seeds. Due to the coarse particles, the transparency is often poor. Experts call it very dry. Bean seed is a very common variety, with poor quality and naturally cheap price. Bean seeds can also be further divided into: sugar beans, ice beans and so on. If its particles are very thick, it can be as thick as 3mm, which is a coarse bean.

the seventh species of hibiscus:

generally, the color of hibiscus is light green, but it has no yellow. The green is purer and feels clearer. Its texture is finer than that of bean seeds, and its structure will make people feel granular, but the boundaries of particles can't be seen, which is the result of recrystallization later. Generally, transparency is also acceptable. Although it is not as good as glass seed, it can be said that it is ice seed. Although the color is not strong enough, the clear seed is not very transparent, but it is not done, and the price is not high, so it is easier to be accepted by ordinary people. Dark colors will be more expensive, and lighter colors will be cheaper. If there are dark green veins, it is called "hibiscus rises from green roots", and furthermore; Among them, when there is irregular and deep green, it is also called "hibiscus species".

the eighth variety of gold thread:

the gold thread refers to the color of this jadeite in a filiform distribution, arranged in parallel with each other. We can clearly see that the green color appears intermittently in a certain direction. Of course, the green stripes can be thick or thin. The quality of gold-rimmed jadeite depends on the color and proportion of its green bands, as well as the thickness of its texture. The color band is thick, occupies a large proportion of the area, and the color is bright, so the value is of course high. On the contrary, the color band is sparse and the color is light, which is cheaper.

the ninth species of horseteeth:

As the name implies, the teeth of horses are a kind of enamel, that is to say, the jadeite texture of horseteeth is fine, but it is opaque, like porcelain. Most of the species of horse teeth are green, which looks good, but there are no colored species. If you look closely, you can see that there are very thin white lines in the green. Although the horsetooth species has a certain color, because it is not transparent enough, it is called insufficient water or short water head in jargon.

Variety 1 Violet:

A kind of purple jade, whose purple color is generally pale, like that of purple flowers, so it is named. If you carefully observe the purple jadeite, its hue is slightly different. Generally speaking, it can be divided into pink purple, eggplant purple and blue purple. Pink purple is fine in texture, and it is rare to have better transparency, eggplant purple is inferior, and blue purple is generally coarse in texture, which can be further called purple beans.

generally, purple jadeite looks darker when viewed under yellow light, so be careful when purchasing. Jade with deep purple, fine texture and high transparency is hard to find, and it is especially favored by Europeans and Americans.

the 11th species of Gan Qing:

the jadeite from Gan Qing is albite. Gan Qing planted jadeite, as Hong Kong experts call it. Sodium chrome pyroxene (also known as meteorite chrome pyroxene) is impossible to form on the earth, and it has only been found in meteorites. It is different from ordinary jadeite, its chemical composition is NaCrSi2O6, its hardness is grade 5, its specific gravity is 3.5, its refractive index is 1.75, and its color is bright because of its high chromium content, but its transparency is poor and its particles are coarse, so experts call it Gan Qing species.

Variety 12 Spring Ribbon:

"Spring" refers to the purplish red color on jadeite. Purple jade is also called violet. "Color" refers to the pure green color on jade. Spring ribbon refers to a piece of jade or a piece of jade jewelry with purple and green. At present, jadeite materials with spring colors are very scarce. In 1991~1992, the high-grade Kaisu jadeite raw materials were dug up, some of which were purple, green and with good water head, but they were dug up in half a year. Good spring ribbon jadeite is of high value.

Variety 13 multicolored jade:

multicolored jade is called multicolored jade when there are more than four colors on a piece of jadeite raw material or jade ornaments. Such as green, purple, blue, white, etc., in the evaluation, among other conditions, mainly depends on the amount of green and the quality of water head as the main conditions. The colorful jadeite with a large proportion of green and good water head has a very high value.

variety 14 tielongsheng:

it mainly refers to the positive green color with chromium as the coloring element, with compact structure and poor water head.
