Jadeite is usually divided into jadeite and nephrite.

Emerald:

Jade is jade. Good quality jade is relatively scarce and expensive, which can cater to the tastes of high-end consumers and is mainly produced in Myanmar.

Nephrite:

White dragon with hook, Qing, was auctioned at Christie's in Hong Kong in the spring of 2004, with an estimated value of HK$ 50,000-70,000.

Classification and origin of China-jade.

1, Hetian jade

It is distributed in Hotan-Khotan shache-Tashkurgan, Qiemo County, Xinjiang, and on the northern slope of Kunlun Mountain, stretching for 1500 km. * * * There are nine producing areas. Hetian jade is mainly composed of tremolite-actinolite, and contains a small amount of tremolite, serpentine, graphite, magnets and other minerals, forming different colors such as white, turquoise, black and yellow. Most of them are monochromatic jade, and a few have variegated colors. Jade is translucent, greasy and shiny after polishing, and its hardness is 5.5 to 6.4 degrees. Hetian jade is sandwiched between rocks at an altitude of 3500 meters to 5000 meters. After a long period of differentiation and peeling, it is broken into pieces of different sizes, collapsed on the hillside, and then washed by rain and flowed into the river. When the river dries up in autumn, the jade pieces collected in the river bed are called seed jade, and those mined in the rock layer are called mountain materials. The earliest Hetian jade has been found from Fu Hao's tomb in Yin Ruins. After the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Hetian jade gradually became the main jade talent, and it was not until the Qing Dynasty that it began to mine mountain materials. Dayu, made in Qianlong period of Qing Dynasty, was used to control the water in Yushan Mountain. The sapphire weighed more than 10,700 Jin, which was collected from Maitreya Mountain.

The economic value of Hetian jade is evaluated according to the purity of color and texture, and its main varieties are:

① White jade: It contains tremolite more than 95%, is white in color, pure in texture, delicate and shiny, and is an excellent variety of Hetian jade. During the prosperous period of jade-making in Han, Song and Qing dynasties, great attention was paid to the selection of materials, and high-quality white jade was often carved into "heavy objects".

(2) Sheep fat white jade: the top grade of white jade, pure and delicate in texture, containing 99% tremolite, white in color, with the same weight as coagulated fat, and its economic value is several times that of white jade. Han Dynasty, Song Dynasty and Qing Dynasty all admired sheep fat white jade.

③ Qingtian jade: There is no obvious difference from white jade in texture, but the jade is white with a faint turquoise color. It is the third-class jade in Hetian jade, and its economic value is slightly lower than that of white jade.

④ Sapphire: Light blue, turquoise and gray are all called sapphires, with uniform color and fine texture, 89% tremolite and 6% actinolite, with oily luster and abundant reserves. It is the main variety of jade collected or mined in past dynasties.

⑤ Topaz: It is basically white jade, which has been infiltrated by iron oxide in surface water for a long time, forming a yellow tone in cracks. According to the color change, it is named as: dense wax yellow, chestnut color, okra yellow, yellow flower yellow, egg yolk, etc. The wax yellow and chestnut yellow with strong colors are extremely rare, and their value can be comparable to that of sheep fat white jade. In the Qing dynasty, topaz was homophonic with "yellow", which was extremely rare, and its economic value once exceeded that of white jade with sheep fat.

⑥ Sugar jade: Iron oxide permeates tremolite or red leather shell with different shades, with deep red as "sugar jade" and "tiger skin jade" and white with pink as "powder jade". Sugar jade is often called bi-color jade in white jade or plain jade, which can be used to make "pretty jade". Snuff bottles made of sugar jade leather carving seeds can also proliferate, which is called "gold and silver wrapping".

⑦ Ink jade: The composition of graphite and magnets in tremolite is black, and ink jade is mostly gray or gray with black stripes, which is called "dark clouds, light ink, golden sable whiskers, beauty temples, etc." . Pure lacquer ink with dense black spots is more valuable than other jet varieties. Jet has waxy luster and uneven color, which is not suitable for carving patterns. It is mostly used to make utensils inlaid with gold and silver thread.

⑧ Jasper: produced in Junggar jade mine, also known as Tianshan Jasper. It is grayish green, dark green and dark green, with pure dark green as the top grade. There are black spots, black spots or jade tendons, and the quality is one grade worse. Jasper contains tremolite more than 85%, which is delicate, translucent and oily, and belongs to mid-range jade.

2. dushan jade

Dushan jade is produced in Dushan, Nanyang, Henan Province, also known as "Nanyang Jade" or "Henan Jade".

As early as 6,000 years ago, the ancients had mined dushan jade, and there were many dushan jade products in the jade unearthed from Muhao's tomb in Yinxu, Anyang. Dushan was called "Yushan" in the Western Han Dynasty.

Dushan jade ranks among the "Four Famous Jade" in China because of its bright color and good transparency. The emerald variety of high-grade jade is similar to Burmese jade, so it has the reputation of "Nanyang jade". Generally, Duyu is mainly used to carve bracelets, rings, necklaces and other furnishings and ornaments.

Dushan jade is a kind of multicolored jade, which can be divided into eight varieties by color.

① Green dushan jade: green to emerald green, translucent, delicate in texture, similar to jadeite, with glass luster.

4. "Basanyu" Emerald

1983, a new type of jadeite was discovered in northern Myanmar. Because of the special geological environment, the difference of physical and chemical characteristics, and the special look and feel of ornaments, it was named Basanyu.

Some people call it Bashan jade and mountaineering jade, others call it hard sodium jade and hard sodium jade, and some people classify it as "83 kinds of jade" in the classification of "species".

The petrological name of Basanyu is "Erosion Emerald". It has semi-automorphic-heteromorphic granular crystal structure, fibrous crystal structure, banded structure, fracture structure, fracture structure, mylonite structure and breccia structure. Jade minerals have obvious extrusion, deformation, undulation and recrystallization. The crystal size of jadeite minerals is generally above 1mm, and the maximum measured value is 4 mm. The crystal size of jadeite minerals after crushing and grinding is generally above 0.01mm. ..

The structure, structure and mineral characteristics of Basanyu comprehensively reflect that the corroded jadeite is the result of strong geological stress, so the microcracks, microcracks and intergranular gaps of Basanyu are very developed, and the cleavage of jadeite is also very common in the deformation process.

The original transparency of Basanyu is related to grain size, crack development, alteration and other factors. Large particles, few cracks, weak erosion, transparent, generally opaque-slightly transparent, and the optimized Basanyu is translucent.

The color of Basanyu is milky white, gray and light green, and the background color is often embedded with green, dark green and dark green clouds, disseminated and veined spots, especially floating flowers.

The mineral composition of eroded jadeite is mainly jadeite, with a small amount of omphacite and alkaline amphibole, and secondary amphibole is the product of alteration.

Through a large number of tests on Basanyu bracelets, it is considered that Basanyu should be located in jadeite with jadeite as the main mineral component (90%), and albite jade composed of albite does not belong to Basanyu category.

Because of the loose internal structure, most of the fish need to be optimized. The inside and outside of the eighty-three fish are filled with polymer perfectly, but the eighty-three fish can't all agree with the concept of "B goods".

The "B goods" of Basanyu is the best example of polymer filling optimization, which makes jade feel the best and makes the most effective use of jade resources.

The appearance of "B goods" of 83 jade was accepted by consumers who first met jade. Mainly, the "B goods" of Bashan fish are in good condition and the price is right. The wholesale price of jade bracelets in border trade areas (Tengchong and Ruili) is generally 200-300 yuan/piece.

The main product of Basanyu is "B" jade bracelet. Its background color is mostly milky white, light green, translucent, with green and dark green floating flowers, which are blue-white fluorescent under ultraviolet rays, with a density of 3.30g/cm3. It has a dry structure in the rice field, and the sound of hitting the jade body is dull.

In order to keep the texture and color of the "B-goods" jade bracelet of Basanyu for a long time, you should avoid soaking in hot water and exposure to sunlight when wearing it, and often scrub it with a wet towel. After drying, polish it on the flannel, and avoid scrubbing it with organic solvents (alcohol, banana oil).
