When Han Kongque finished watching the external appearance of this huge stone and began to penetrate deep into the original stone with his spiritual sense to check the internal situation, his application was momentarily stagnant.
Seeing Han Kongque's performance, Wei Changqing smiled. He was acting like this just now. However, no matter who it was, as long as they saw the performance of the jade inside, they would probably be stunned for a while.
Because the internal performance of this rough stone was beyond their expectations.
The best variety among the materials is the so-called "mutton-fat jade", which is as white as gelatin, with some slightly bluish or milky yellow colors, but its texture is very delicate and oily, and it is smooth and restrained.
"Mutton-fat jade" is so rare and hard to find that even some collectors, even after playing with jade for half a lifetime, still find it difficult to find it. They even call it "fate" when they meet once. Therefore, some jade lovers often say, "It is difficult to find mutton-fat jade, and it is difficult to buy it."
The sigh of "blue sky".
Generally, the sub-materials are not large, because the sub-materials are hard in texture, and the impurities that originally wrapped the sub-materials have been washed away in endless years, so the remaining sub-materials are extremely hard.
The same is true for this piece. The reason why this giant piece can be preserved is because it is a huge jade.
If Han Peacock originally just thought it was a piece of mountain water, but now he sees the situation inside the original stone, he doesn’t think so.
This Big Mac is a giant piece of jade, because the jade inside is so delicate and beautiful.
Originally, the outside of the original stone appeared to be jasper, but when we saw the inside, it turned out to be pure white jade, and it was mutton-fat jade.
Mutton-fat white jade is also called "white jade" and "mutton-fat jade". As the name suggests, it is a jade that looks like mutton fat (commonly known as mutton fat).
This is a piece of high-quality white jade. Most of its color is fat white, some places are extremely white, and some places are slightly light cyan, milky yellow, etc., but all of them are fine and moist in texture. They have good oil properties.
This rough stone is too big, so the internal situation is not exactly the same. Except for a small amount of stone flowers and other impurities on the outside, the rest of the stone is pure white. So Han Kongque and Wei Changqing were stunned when they saw the situation inside. Because inside
The situation is so eye-catching that anyone who looks at it will know what it means to be flawless, and what it means to be as white as grease.
Suet-fat white jade mainly contains tremolite (95%), actinolite and epidote, so it looks like condensed fat and is a type of nephrite.
According to ancient legend, "white jade without flaws" refers to white jade. Mutton-fat white jade is a high-quality variety of jade. Its toughness and wear resistance are the strongest among jade. Even if it has been buried in the ground for thousands of years, it will not be completely stained.
The sub-jades of mutton-fat white jade have been soaked in the wasteland under the Kunlun Mountains or in the groundwater soil of the oasis for millions of years. The output is rare, so the value is very high.
This was Han Kongque's first time seeing mutton-fat white jade. Only then did he know why the price of this kind of white jade was so high.
This is not without reason. This kind of white jade is particularly delicate, bright and moist. Although I have not touched it with my own hands, I feel that it is crystal white, delicate and moist with few flaws. It is not at all said to be "white as fat".
wrong.
The most rare thing is that such a large piece of mutton-fat white jade, except for the slight difference in color, has a white and flawless texture, like freshly cut fat sheep, and its luster is like condensed oil.
Another point is that this is a piece of material. Han Kongque can only be 100% sure of this by seeing the inside of the original stone.
You should know that mutton-fat white jade is divided into "ziyu" and "mountain material".
The so-called "Ziyu" is fished from the Yu River at the foot of Kunlun Mountain. This kind of "Ziyu" is fine, warm and shiny like fat.
Some "Ziyu" muscles contain "rice seepage", which is like white rice that has not yet been melted. This is one of the texture characteristics of aquatic white jade.
Some of them have skins of various colors due to being soaked in water and sand for a long time. This kind of "ziyu" is superior to mountain materials and is extremely rare.
Mountain materials are rarely as pure white as fat, but the giant jade stone under Han Kongque's hand is obviously a sub-material.
In addition to the color, this can also be confirmed by the hardness of the texture. The color needs to be viewed with spiritual sense, but the hardness can be easily perceived by Han Peacock's magical power. Although the hardness cannot be accurately judged, the hardness and
He can still easily tell the difference between ordinary jade.
The tremolite mineral content in mutton-fat white jade reaches more than 99%, and the hardness is 6 to 6.5, second only to jade. Compared with ordinary nephrite, its texture is very high in pure hardness, and its toughness and wear resistance are also the strongest among jade.
of.
Another is the fine structure. The tremolite in mutton-fat jade has a fibrous felt-like structure. Due to the above two characteristics, mutton-fat white jade can show a unique "fat feeling", also known as "oily".
Third, the color is mutton-fat white, not pure white and pale, but white with a grease luster. All this proves that this is the best mutton-fat jade, but the sub-material mutton-fat white jade.
Looking at the jade rust outside, Han Peacock chuckled. Although he had seen too many good things, he was still very happy to suddenly see such a miracle of nature.
Usually some jade can be as big as a human head, which is already thankful to God, but this piece weighs two to three tons, so even if he sees the jade rust outside, Han Peacock feels cute.
You must know that the most annoying thing for ordinary jade lovers is this layer of jade rust, so they were worried about Mingyuan just now, and the reason for worry is that the outer layer of jade rust does not perform well.
Because the jade material has been buried in the sand for hundreds of millions of years, while absorbing the beauty of the earth, the essence of the sun and the moon, it is also eroded by the minerals in the sand, forming various epidermis of uneven thickness in the loose and weak parts of the jade.
These colorful skins are jade rust, and they are also a confusing veil. Especially those jade wrapped in skin or jade wrapped in stone are full of mysteries, which often make some inexperienced jade lovers curious, plus "the appearance is the same as the inside" and so on.
Under the influence of traditional concepts, some people have the idea of taking a gamble, and the results can be imagined.
It is not uncommon for people to lose all their money by betting on this kind of jade, and it is not uncommon for people to go bankrupt. Therefore, most people should not take this risk, unless your family has a big business and has nowhere to spend the money, or you have the fearless spirit of Bian He.
Jade wrapped in skin or jade wrapped in stone is a rare jade, and not everyone can understand it. The so-called "it is difficult for a fairy to break an inch of jade" is about this type of jade, and the risk is very high.
"Boss, is this piece of jade very good?" Huangshan came over holding his red-skinned rough stone and asked.
Han Kongque raised his head and said: "Of course, I have seen your boss, but this is the first time I have seen such a good jade."
"This piece of jade was found in the water. It should be Ziyu, right?" Huangshan looked at Big Mac and threw the jade in his hand aside.
He felt that it was really worthwhile to go out this time and found so many good things. When he went back this time, he seemed to have a wife.
Han Peacock looked at him funny and said: "You can't be a blind bear and throw away the previous harvest when you see the good ones."
Qian Mingyuan also said with a smile: "Do you think what you are holding is kava stone?"
"Kava stone?" Huangshan asked strangely.
"Red kava stone can be filled with ruby," Gu Tong said, joining in the fun.
Nowadays, some people use red kava stone to pretend to be ruby, which has deceived many newbies. Kava stone is also called Xinjiang Xiu jade and has huge reserves. Kava stone in Uyghur language means silly, and kava stone is A stone used to imitate nephrite, its composition is similar to serpentine. The reserves in Xinjiang are estimated to be billions of tons. Since the quantity is so large, you can tell from the name that it is used to deceive fools.
The reason why people are said to be fools if they are deceived in this way is mainly because kava stone is easy to identify. If someone can still be deceived in this way, then he must be a fool.
It is also easy to identify kava stone. Although it looks very similar to Hetian jade, it often has green spots and green stripes on its surface. Its texture is soft and it is easy to make cuts with a steel knife.
Kava stone can be used to carve handicrafts. Its surface after carving is dark and shiny, much brighter than coal. It is often seen in the market, but the price is not high, usually between 100-200 yuan. How many types of kava stone are there? color. Buyers should pay special attention to appearance when identifying.
Because Mojasper is composed of jasper, its hardness is slightly higher, and its surface is often smooth and pit-free. However, if Kavalite is not polished manually, it will have countless pits on its surface. This is because of its soft texture.
Many years ago, kava stone refers to a serpentine pebble (sub-material) with various colors similar to the sub-material of Hetian jade, so some people use it to deceive people.
"Does the jade here belong to Hetian jade?" Kawasi Huangshan didn't understand, but he knew the value of Hetian jade, so he was still concerned about whether the jade here belonged to the category of Hetian jade.
Gu Tong smiled and said: "Although the jade here is called Kunlun jade, it is actually no different from Hetian jade."
At this time, Qian Mingyuan frowned and said: "It stands to reason that the jade produced here should be regarded as Hetian jade, but there is no jasper in Hetian jade."
After Qian Mingyuan reminded him, Gu Tong also frowned: "In ancient times, there was a saying that there is no jasper in Hotan, but this shouldn't be accurate? I remember that Hotan doesn't seem to produce ruby, and some people say that there is no ink in Hotan jade. Jade."
Let’s not talk about the piece of jasper they originally discovered, but now Huangshan still has a piece of ruby in his hands!
Jasper, red jade, and mutton-fat jade are all available here. Of course, there seems to be no shortage of black jade here, because just now Huangshan recovered several pieces of black jade with poor quality.
The texture of Hetian jade is fine and tough. It is mainly composed of tremolite fibers that cannot be seen clearly with the naked eye or even a microscope. However, it generally also contains trace amounts of diopside, talc, serpentine, graphite, magnetite and other minerals. There are different colors such as white, green-white, green, black, and yellow.
The concept of Hetian jade that has been established in Chinese academic circles, collection circles and arts and crafts circles refers to the Kunlun Mountains and the extension of the Kunlun Mountains - the tremolite nephrite jade produced in carbonate rocks in the Altyn Mountains. Generally, there are only white jade, green white jade, Varieties such as sapphire, topaz, black jade and blue and white.
As for green jade or jasper, it is basically not found in Hetian jade - this seems to have been concluded in ancient times. (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
