Knowledge accumulation! Why are there so many kinds of jadeite?

"Species" is an unavoidable concept in jade collection, but for many jade collectors at present, the problem of "species" has become a misty forest on their collection road, and many Cui You have lost their way here.

But that's the secret of jadeite. Even the same stone has different crystal arrangement and distribution in different parts. Today, let's talk about why there are so many kinds of jadeite!

In fact, just like kneading dough, some places are sandwich, and some places are relatively uniform. The difference of jadeite is related to various geological forces such as shear force and extrusion pressure in the process of mineralization, which has great randomness and is the result of magical natural forces.

Emerald belongs to jadeite. Jade particles can become smooth under the action of force, can be elongated into fibrous filaments, can be combined with particles of different sizes, and can be combined with fibers and particles.

Emerald has the saying that it can shine. This is because the arrangement of fine crystals is abnormal and orderly, which leads to obvious overall refractive index after light enters. The disorder of crystal arrangement has a great influence on transparency, which is why jadeite has two extremes: bean seed and glass seed.

Therefore, if jadeite can still reach the glass type in the case of failure, then you can imagine how delicate and transparent it needs to be. How important is that particle embedding? This is a very serious disorder.

It can be said that there are many kinds of jadeite, which is really a wonderful flower of nature, which is why we are still studying and appreciating it. However, there are many kinds of jadeite, but we must find out the "species" of jadeite before we can do it?

In fact, the word "species" that people pass on from mouth to mouth now is to make a simple distinction between the jadeite they have seen. Those who have not seen this kind of jadeite can have a description and make an analogy with things in life at will.

For example, glass is called glass seed; Almost, called ice seeds; Large crystal particles are called bean seeds; There is a trace of green distribution called golden seed ... and then the master teaches his disciples to pass it on from generation to generation.

Cui friends often think that to understand jadeite, we must thoroughly understand the types of these classifications, but in fact, this is impossible. At present, all kinds of names about species are copied, and there are generally dozens, which is difficult for experts to fully understand.

Moreover, it is worth noting that many Cui friends tend to ignore the thickness of jadeite, which will also affect the judgment of planting water. The thinner the same kind of water, the more transparent it will appear. When comparing jadeite seed water, remember to make it as thick as it is.

Generally speaking, the principle of jade planting is very simple, that is, to determine the quality of planting water, but it is difficult to see the variety, not to determine what kind, but to evaluate the planting water in practice.

Therefore, Cui friends really don't need to entangle the names of every kind of jadeite! When the planting water of jadeite is almost the same, the price varies greatly. This is the real test of your vision and experience!
