Gossip and Hetian jade

1, and Hetian jade output and processing
And mainly distributed in Xinjiang's Hetian jade of Shache - Taxkorgan, Hotan - Yutian, Minfeng - Qiemo stretching 1,500 km along the northern slope of the Kunlun Mountains, a total of nine origin. The jade output here because the quality of the same, people customarily referred to as being "of Hetian jade" or "Kunlun jade."
Hetian jade and soft jade in China is excellent, is also the world soft Yuli boutique. Hetian jade and a white jade, Qingyu, topaz, jasper, Mo Yu, Yu Hua, Hong-yu, and other species, such as the white share and Yang Zhi, Li Huang cooked, such as Jiguan red, black as ink for those with on.
Hetian jade-and-seed material and material. Picking up the river fishing-called "seed-yu", high-quality, but low yield. The exploitation of the mountains "Hill news", higher yield, but the quality uneven. Hotan jade major seed production in the Yulong Kashgar River and La Kashi River, 10. Whenever the summer of flash floods, the mountain will be the original natural weathering of the mountain jade stones caving into the river, the river raging folder wrapped large and small rocks to move forward, after repeated the rolling mill, impact and will be the Shan-Yu Impurities to do, just like last Zhigao-general of the seed. After the flood, people can find jade in the tidal zone.
Kunlun of jade ore at an altitude of more than 3500 - 5000 meters, the exploitation of difficulties. Since ancient times, local people from jade, from mountain torrents more from the natural stream flow and the relocation of the Yulong Kashgar River gravel in Jianshi. Its large and small-or large as lamb, or large as fists, or small like Zaoer ...... its minimal amount.
Kunlun Mountains in the mountains of material time not long mining history. A Masi mine relatively early, and only several hundred years of mining history, after the interruption. Liu Shan-rock, post-harvest to stripping, the addition of climate reasons, the annual mining work can only be 3-4 months, we can imagine the difficulties. Before 1949, local paper and opened Jade Mountain Kangxiwar ore, maintaining production is not a long time. 1962, the then Hotan County at an altitude of 5,000 meters in the Kunlun-new online formally opened a jade mine, but still affected by seasonal and climatic constraints, the lack of any significant developments.
Hotan in the history of modern mining has been mainly selling raw materials, does not have its own jade processing industry. To 1986, Wada was the first lead of the Hotan jade carving of a plant, and is jade carving factory in Yangzhou, Jiangsu and the Liaison Office, a group of chefs came to the Yangzhou Hotan, they brought the equipment, bring the technology, brought out the A group of disciples, from Hetian only from the design drawings, cutting, production, grinding and polishing of the series flowshop line. However, at present, Xinjiang jade carving industry is still underdeveloped, still relying on Yangzhou, Suzhou and Shanghai-based joint processing, Xinjiang jade than the mainland more expensive.
Second, with regard to the variety of Hetian jade and economic value
1, Bai: less production, white color, texture pure, delicate, shiny moisture. For high-quality varieties of jade, texture purity of 95%. And more generally high-quality white jade carved pieces for the boutique.
2, Yang Zhi Bai: "Yangzhi," the white jade is the most Shangpin the reputation, quality and purity of up to 99 percent, Yuli Hotan is the best. Ningzhi was white and color, luster gel general, You Run steady, not floating not impatient. Yield little, the price is several times the normal white jade to several hundred times.
3, Green white jade: texture with no significant difference between white jade, only faintly Fanqing Yuse, in the three-to-build, slightly behind white jade economic value.
4, Qingyu: Danqing color, green, gray symmetry of the Qing Yu said, Yunjing color, delicate texture, a grease-like luster, production and reserves of rich, for the three-wood. Affordable, and for the general audience favorite.
5, topaz: quality-of white jade, because long-term surface water infiltration in its seamless iron oxide formed in the yellow colors. According to the extent specific color, yellow-Mila, the ball Kwai yellow, chestnut yellow, egg yolk, and so on. Mila concentration of high-quality color and okra Huang Huang extremely rare, its economic value or more than Kedi Bai Yang Zhi.
6, sugar-yu: iron oxide, or leachate in white jade green and white jade in the crevice formed, the entire sugar, half-sugar, sugar, and other points of hours they expected to make Qiaodiao pieces, generally the whole point of sugar or sugar Qiao Thai economic value of good
7, Mo Yu: jade in the folder are graphite and magnet components so as Mose, a shiny cereus. According to Mo Yu, there are a variety of colors, gold and silver inlay in general do more crafts, economic value of 2 to 3-wood.
8, jasper: Wada jasper output is not large, the general Cheng Hui green, dark green, You Run delicate texture, feel dignified appearance. Wada jasper Duocheng-opaque, it should be noted with "Tianshan jasper" distinction. Wada jasper Israel is, uniform texture, color green is to share. Economic value for the two-wood.
Third, should correct a few absurd that
1, "Wada jasper" and "Xinjiang jasper," said confusion The true sense of the "Xinjiang jasper" not produced in the Kunlun Mountains. "Xinjiang jasper"-produced in the Zhungeer Mine, also known as the "Tianshan jasper." Cheng Hui green, dark green, dark green, the common gray leaf spot or a folder-line, black spots. Jasper texture delicate, translucent, a grease-like luster, Zhong Didang jade, wood-and third-class prices rather, the economic value of the general, the market is now relatively Most of its non-Wada of the
2, on "the Qinghai-yu" and "Yu-Kunlun," said confusion Market transactions, often do not know how to look at the white jade统统said "the Kunlun-yu" (actually Qinghai white jade, etc.), meaning that this is not expected Hotan. Although there is nothing wrong with this, but also naming absurd. In fact, "Kunlun" or "Wada", if not from the Kunlun Mountains, How can not be "Wada", why is "Kunlun"? »
In this connection that a non-jade "Hetian" and changes could be, but said its non-"Hetian" and "Kunlun" is wrong. Covered because they do not know the origin of the concept of confusion.
Qinghai-discovery and outputs is not a very long time, is more than 10 years ago about the matter. Qinghai-output early, Kunlun white jade, Kunlun jade, Golmud-yu, and other names. Qinghai-produced in the Golmud City in Qinghai plateau southwest of hilly areas, relatively little altitude, coupled with convenient transportation, it has been operating with three mining areas, mainly expected to Hill, a small amount of water expected Hill (Gobi-making) output, but not Liu found that seed production. Lot outputs the eastern edge of the Kunlun Mountains in Qinghai Shenru part, and the west of Xinjiang's Qiemo, Ruoqiang (300 km away from Ruoqiang) and Hetian jade output in the background on the geology are closely linked. Qinghai-color, texture, composition and Hetian jade and about the same, but its colors are more abundant. And because of its traditional and Tian Yuji similar to this, coupled with relatively large production, unscrupulous traders in the guise of the Qinghai-Hetian jade, and in recent years on the market impact of Hetian jade great.
Qinghai-mainly to white jade, Qinghai, there are braided white jade-like stripes, intuitive relatively easy to identify, this is a geological formation it was never mixed with the Hetian jade and features. Industry experts called "white Qinghai." According to their color, also known as milk white jade, flooding white jade, Ewha white jade, Mitang white jade, and so on. -- Qinghai white jade Duocheng grey-white wax, oily poor, semi-transparent. Transparency is better than that of Hetian jade, texture Xirun, pieces of raw materials, sometimes up to Yang Zhi-quality output. Qinghai-the composition, texture and outside to watch, compared Wenrun, and multicolor, are more prospects for the jade market new varieties. Although the Qinghai-veins have even Kunlun, but also "the Qinghai-yu" and "Hetian jade" is not yet a concept of things. Therefore, the Kunlun Mountains in Qinghai-Yu Yu is known as the traditional confusion of "Yu-Kunlun (Hetian)."
We purchased white jade in the time must pay attention to learn the distinction between "Qinghai Province" and "Hetian." Hetian jade and have a very interesting features, you may not care, that is, it is similar to human skin like sweat pores small, in fact, this is the structure of Hetian jade itself formed by feeling the surface, this analogy is the image, do not believe that can be fine See, and the Qinghai-this is not the sweat pores. If you Wada, Hotan locals recommend to you the first way is to identify this.
Fourth, on the recent market situation
In recent years, as people frantically mining and Wadisanzhang search Hotan expected, will inevitably cause of dwindling resources, high-quality jade raw materials is a rare. Xinjiang now several companies spent a large bulldozers and large forklifts in the Yulong Kashgar flood land excavation and screening, together with local people digging holes from top to bottom, like Fanteng, Hotan has been the Yulong Kashgar River at the end of the air show to the people, so there are How many good-waiting for us to find it? » Limited resources in reducing day by day.
In recent years the price of a jade rose Zaizhang. High-quality Hetian jade (3-5 kilograms of size), per kilogram have been sold to 180,000 yuan, therefore, possession and the appreciation of Hetian jade can be taken for granted, of course-to-be on the level of Hetian jade.
General good white jade from trading in the market price per gram 20-30,40-60,100-200,300-400 have. The key is to see the quality and workmanship jade. General-PART 300 yuan below the market does not generally accounted for by grams.
5, and Hetian jade on the species and said the Russian -
And did not Hetian jade production, said in Hetian jade has become extinct, should refer to a few high-quality Hetian, especially Bai Yang Zhi is not Yude. This reflects a non-controversial fact that now the reasons for the large number of mining is, of course, will cause the decrease of resources, but the well-known media recently reported by the Kunlun newly discovered large Yang Zhi-yu, also seems to bring people A pleasant surprise. Weiwei the mysterious Kunlun, where the number of the treasures in the end it » We can only wait for a gift of nature.
Russian Bai and Bai Qinghai only appear in the market for more than 10 years, just over the Russian Liu Baiyu, we do not know it began, in fact, it and China belong to one of Hetian jade geological deposits (It is said that there had in the past China's jurisdiction Range), Russia expected, there are good white jade can be comparable to the white jade Wada, general Liu Yu-Russia and Belarus as Hotan You Run texture, color white and rigid, lacking look good, but the quality of the material is now Russia and Belarus have more than white Hotan quality materials The price.
Not long ago, the jade market in Xuzhou, I saw a white jade Pi Xiu Yuandiao Russia, weighing about 200 grams, the asking price for 8,000 yuan, 6,500 yuan after the people won, it is Yan Chan. I think that Russia expected up to quality levels, the price of value!
6, on the market prospects and jade collections
At present, due to the high-quality Hetian jade materials and fewer and fewer resources, relatively high processing costs, investment in new-choice should be fine, so have the appreciation of space. Jade's investment potential is great, and relatively less risk. Compared with other traditional works of art, jade prices there is still much room for increase, while jade collection easy and difficult to damage, facilitate the spread can collection, but also Bawan, which is the other works of art do not have the advantage.
Now on the market Hotan white jade, Qinghai and the Russian Bai Bai prices vary greatly, with ordinary bracelet for example, a good general in Qinghai white jade bracelets 1,200 yuan to 2,500 yuan, a good Russian white jade bracelets can be reached 6,000 yuan to 8,000 yuan, Xinjiang's Hotan on the good and white jade bracelets, the price will have to 10000 --- 20000 yuan. General pendant is also on the general level of prices increased the price is zoned.
Beginner-playing friends can buy small pieces, can buy the seeds Liu Yu-playing, seed material relatively easy to identify, things generally do not, so the price can easily bear, and remember not to covet the cheap and Dayan. Dental market has emerged to do with the artificial teeth Yafen cooking rule forming the false seed materials, these materials on a small piece of colored Jiapi, no bubbles, beautiful beautiful, but generally not carving things, because it does not, as of Hetian jade The hardness. Other Feeder by pretending to Hotan jade pieces, have a certain hardness, can be zoned dynamic glass, but this is the so-called inverted-carved pieces can be seen in the trench (traditional said Daohen) dazzling impression In fact, this is inverted module left Majiao, ordinary pieces of polished jade carving of the time, little attention trench in the general left, leaving behind the sculpture is the natural feeling that the attention of recognition can identify.
