How to identify and distinguish fake jade

"Since ancient times, jade was full of respect for the Chinese nation. We respect jade, first in spirit. Ancients thousands of years ago has been found, a beautiful stone, whether it is gripping in the hand or worn on the body to fight a feeling nervous , china gemstone wholesaler followed by a spiritual force.

The second is a moral to a high degree of jade rose. We say "five de Jade", benevolence, righteousness, wisdom, bravery, clean, deeply rooted among the same age. Idiom that the saying "to your guns," said the man's character, the highest level of integrity.

Therefore, the ancients earnestly warned: gentleman for no reason, not jade body. "

Ma did not have

 Nature is beautiful jade stone

US-jade stone, jade is the essence of the beautiful stones. Chinese compared to the broad concept of jade set, it will face many problems today. Such as jade stone is not it? In accordance with today's stringent standards, it can not be called jade, but the ancient point of view, it is a piece of jade.

So, jade standard what is it? The ancients had done summarized, jade, five German, benevolence, righteousness, wisdom, bravery, clean, is one of the most basic standards of jade, this standard has been affected to this day. What is benevolence, righteousness, wisdom, courage, clean? How to understand? Abstract sense. So, Jade concrete side what is it? We can see the most appearance of jade things, the first is color. Ancient records of the color of jade are more red, yellow, green, blue, black, white. Today think of it, if not the color of jade. Who have seen red jade, blue, jade? In fact, the ancients referred to may now be different today when compared to the broad concept of jade. Such as the ancients said, "ruby" may be onyx, and "jade" may be turquoise, "Lan Yu" may be lapis lazuli. Said today that the color of jade, are relatively limited within a framework, devaluation white jade, sapphire, topaz, including blue white, blue and white is between; Then there jasper, black jade; also spent jade, which is a piece of jade on a variety of colors.

Nephrite is the highest grade of jade

Jade should have learned that we must first know the origin of jade. The number of jade in China jewelry supplier where it? There are documented in the areas of domestic jade Department at least several hundred or even thousands of office. We look at a few major areas.

Devaluation of Hotan. Xinjiang and nephrite jade is the highest rating. The court of the Qianlong period of jade, most of them from the Hotan region, such as ornaments, utensils, jade brand, Ideal, etc. abound. Warring States period in Chinese history a lot of jade, Han dynasty jade and Ming and Qing Dynasties and many fine jade, are produced from this place.

Hotan geographical location of the high altitude, harsh climatic conditions, one year to three or four months during the period of exploitation is very short. I also saw some time ago a documentary about how mining and nephrite. And nephrite from two sources, one is the so-called mountain material, a so-called seed material. "Seed" is a very popular view that the stone seed. We have regular contact with the seed material, are relatively small, in fact, a great, also known as seed material. Seed material is in fact the first mountain material, due to changes in the earth's crust, or a number of geological disasters, collapse into bed so that mountain material, after the river millions of years of erosion, the edges all wore off. Because there is moisture effects of water, seed material often sleek and smooth and shiny.

Direct deposits are mined from the mountains of jade material, the mountains is expected. Hill material has not been a long time scouring the river, so under normal circumstances, the quality of seed material is higher than mountains material. But this is not absolute, not to say that seed material certainly better than the mountain material, there is also a very good mountain material. Hill expected to be extracted large size of the material, such as dereliction of duty on behalf of the Yuan Dynasty jade Alexander Yuhai, also son of the Qing Dynasty Jade Mountain Da Yu are with the two huge carved Xinjiang and nephrite.

And the highest grade nephrite, jade today called tallow. One that mutton fat jade, you can imagine it's like. Mutton fat is suet, suet the opportunity today to see not a lot, now not very eating animals out of gas. Jewelry wholesaler The last one, for the old thing with animal oil, such as described Dehua porcelain is the "lard white." I was a child at home often boil lard, can understand the feeling of the oil. Today's young people may not see the animals out of oil, no such feeling.

So, more plump sheep were slaughtered after the fat part of the exposed sheep, This is the best and Tianbai Yu is a feeling. "Mutton fat jade" hence the name. Because a large number of breeding sheep in Xinjiang, so can there be such a comparison. A typical characteristic of suet jade is a very oily, this feeling must find their own. Suet in the white jade has a degree, not the stereotyped white, its color is very white has been the transition to green.
