What jade is she, Taicui?

She Taicui is a jadeite variety among Chinese jade species, which is produced in Inner Mongolia.

1. "She Taicui" was formed18-2.4 billion years ago, and it is a jadeite variety among Chinese jade species, similar to jadeite. In a narrow sense, Shetaicui mainly refers to the jade mine produced in Dashetai Town, Urad Qianqi, which has three basic colors: emerald green, white and cyan. This kind of jade is produced in Dashetai area, Urad Front Banner, Bayannaoer City, Inner Mongolia, with a proven reserve of 4 1.900 cubic meters. With the continuous exploration and exploitation of new mines outside Dashetai Town, Shetaicui in a broad sense has included similar quartzite jade at home and abroad. Like the definition rules of Hetian jade, she Taicui is defined according to its mineral composition regardless of the place of origin. There are gray-green shetai materials and milky aquatic materials produced in Urad Qianqi; There are new pits made in Brazil, old materials and ice Cui; There are violets produced in Gansu; Xinjiang produces snow jade, golden jade and Tianshan jade; Material of Caiyu River Channel in Dalad Banner, Ordos. The business name of quartzite jade can be called She Taicui.

2. Color is not only an important criterion for evaluating the quality of jade, but also the main basis for classifying jade species. She Taicui itself contains many trace elements such as zinc, iron, copper, manganese, magnesium, chromium, titanium, lithium, calcium, potassium and sodium, so its color is pure and rich. Compared with jadeite in other regions at home and abroad, She Taicui has more colors and tones, forming its own series, including three basic tones of white, cyan and emerald, and some transitional colors, such as bluish white, grayish white, bean green and dark green.

3. She Taicui is produced in Zhaertai Mountain, Inner Mongolia, China (the highest peak of Yinshan Mountain in Inner Mongolia is near Mrs. Dashe in Urad Qianqi), with the highest altitude of1851m; Tested by authoritative organizations, it was formed from1800 million years ago to 2.4 billion years ago, and it is the oldest jade in China. Jade gems determined by well-known experts in the field of geology and jewelry in China. Among the jade families, She Taicui has a long history, high hardness, rich colors, dense texture, bright colors and large volume, which amazed experts, scholars and insiders. Geological museum, China has taken the sample of She Taicui as a national treasure, and some experts think that the "Heshibi" may come from She Taicui. She Taicui is the only open-pit jade mine in China and the most valuable jade found in the 5,000-year history of civilization in China.

4. She is too weak in history. The earliest generation with historical basis was the Western Han Dynasty. In 20 1 year BC, Emperor Gaozu Liu Bang abolished Han Xin, the king of Chu, and established his younger brother Jiao Wei Liu, the king of Chu, and established Pengcheng, now Xuzhou, Jiangsu. As the third vassal of Chu, Liu E was in the period of Wenjing rule, with strong national strength and prosperous economy. Liu E, the king of Chu, built a mausoleum on a large scale. Later, he was dissatisfied with King Jing and responded to the "Seven-Country Rebellion" launched by the King of Wu. He committed suicide after defeat and was buried in a hurry, dressed in jade clothes. Through the research of archaeologists, it is determined that the gold and jade clothes worn by Liu Wu, the king of Chu, may be woven from jade pieces of She Taicui.

5. Emerald, commonly known as "jade" in China, is a rising star in traditional jade in China, and also the top grade in all modern jade. Common jadeite colors are white, gray, pink, light brown, green, emerald green, yellow-green, purple and so on. Most of them are opaque, partly translucent and glassy. According to color and texture, there are more than 20 varieties, such as ruby green, brilliant green, yellow sun green, sunny green, glass green, Ying Ge green, spinach green, shallow water green, light sun green, frog green, melon skin green, plum blossom green, blue-green, gray green, oil green, violet, lotus root powder land and so on.

She Taicui occurs in the stratum of Zaertai Group in Mesoproterozoic and belongs to sedimentary metamorphic quartzite. The mineral composition is mainly timely (about 89%), with a small amount of muscovite and sericite. The particles are fine, uniform and closely embedded with each other. She Taicui has dense structure, delicate texture, transparency and semi-greasy luster. The density is 2.659/cm3, and the hardness is 7, which belongs to the middle-grade jade material. The jade carving made of it is crystal clear, green and delicate, and very lovely.
