Yellow wax stone is also known as dragon king jade, because of the waxy texture and color sense in the surface of the stone and get the name, there is also a saying that this stone originated from the real wax country (now Cambodia), so it is called wax stone, this source is good to listen to, there is no way to verify, it is not true.

Yellow wax stone belongs to silicified andesite or sandstone, the main component is quartz, the oily waxy surface layer is a low-temperature melt, strong toughness, hardness 6.5~7.5.

Yellow wax stone is a widely popular stone play in the Lingnan stone play industry, is the most hard and dense texture in the traditional stone appreciation, the big one is sideways in the four famous garden stones, but the texture is slightly too coarse, the small one is comparable to the king of the stone Tian Huang, the lubrication is delicate, the quality is better than the jade, after a long time of playing, the pulp is moisturized, very rich in aura, is the best stone to hold you.

Due to the different minerals infiltrated in the geological formation process, there are yellow wax, white wax, red wax, green wax, black wax, color wax and other varieties.

Due to the purity of its silica, the size of quartz particles, and the melting of the surface layer, it can be divided into frozen wax, crystal wax, oil wax, glue wax, fine wax, coarse wax, etc.

Yellow wax stone is mostly yellow, among which pure bright yellow is precious, and there are wax yellow, earth yellow, chanterelle yellow, egg yolk, ivory yellow, orange yellow and other colors.

In the past, it was said that it was mainly produced in the Liangguang region, but in fact, it is only now discovered that as long as the place of volcanic eruption, there are basically wax stones, so there are all over the country, but the east river in Guangdong Province played early, especially the Chaozhou wax stone is famous, mainly to play and watch.

Huanglongyu is an aphthonic mineral aggregate dominated by silica.

In layman's terms, Huanglongyu is a yellow wax stone that has reached the jade level, and its texture is delicate, warm and flexible.

Its main colors are yellow and red, and there are also mutton fat white, blue and white, black, gray, green and other colors.

It is known as "yellow as gold, red as blood, white as ice, and black as ink".

Specifically, the yellow ones include golden, honey yellow, egg yolk, chanterelle yellow, orange yellow, loquat yellow and other different shades of yellow;

The red ones are chicken blood red, cinnabar red, pork liver red, rose red, light red, water red, etc.;

The white ones are snow white, ice white, etc.

At first, Huanglongyu was just a new species of jade discovered in Longling, Yunnan Province, in 2004.

Later, as long as the yellow wax stone that has reached the level of cryptocrystalline jade can be collectively referred to as jade, such as Taishan jade, Jinhua jade and so on.

As the old saying goes, "jade can't be carved without carving", only jade can be carved into a vessel, and most yellow wax stones cannot.

Therefore, most of the yellow wax stone can only be used as ornamental stones, and only a very small number of good quality, that is, the ones called jade, can be used as high-grade jade materials.

The main components of Huanglongyu are silica, muscovite, etc., and also contain iron, aluminum, manganese and other metal elements and more than 40 kinds of trace elements, but unlike crystal, it is not a single crystal, but a polycrystalline complex similar to jadeite and Hetian jade.

The hardness is equivalent to jadeite, the hardness of the Mo-style is 6.5-7, the toughness is better than that of jadeite, slightly lower than that of Hetian jade, so it is an excellent jade material that is very suitable for carving, and Huanglongyu has won the highest award of Chinese jade since its discovery, the Tiangong Award and other awards.

Now, it has gradually become well-known, loved and collected by people, and has become one of the three hottest excellent jades, and is the most high-quality jade species found after Xinjiang Hetian jade and Myanmar jadeite, with extremely high ornamental value and investment and collection value.

Its diversity of play is also its unique characteristic, which can be used as high-end jewelry, hand toys, ornaments, and can also be made into seals, antique ritual vessels, etc., and its seeds, aquatic plants, flowers, etc. can also be used as raw stones to enjoy.

Jiulong was stunned when he heard it, and suddenly the yellow wax stone, and then the yellow dragon jade, he can only remember that one is the concept of obvious crystalline and one is cryptocrystalline, which is a kind of granular that can be seen, and a kind of can't be seen, as for how to judge the good or bad, only to play and grope.

The old playboy also seemed to see Jiulong's thoughts, and he couldn't help laughing: "Brother, I told you like this cramming, you can't digest it at once, let's understand the basic concept first."

"To a certain extent, playing jade is more tiring than playing ornamental, playing ornamental testing is eyesight and cultural taste, playing jade to understand the internal structure, but also to understand the carving process, and jade has gambling nature, the appearance is not transparent, must have a wealth of experience accumulation. ”

Jiulong sincerely thanked: "Brother has been a friend enough to me, if it is convenient, can you take me around the area of Xiaohei Mountain, and I have an intuitive impression of how Huanglongyu is mined." ”

The old playboy scratched his scalp: "Now it is an unimaginable trouble to enter the Xiaoshan mining area, and the leaders of the Longling government in charge of the Xiaoshan jade mine must greet the Yunnan Provincial Gold Group, and after several parties coordinate, the county government personnel will accompany them to the entrance of the mine, and then the gold group will be responsible for the safety of the jade mine. ”

Assistant Xiao giggled and said, "Big brother, this area is your world, what is difficult to stop you." ”

Jiulong hurriedly replied: "It's really so troublesome, I won't go." ”

The old boy stared at Kowloon and kept looking: "Brother, how is the writing?"

Kowloon replied: "This is okay, and I will practice writing if I have nothing to do." ”

"That's good, I'll find a place for you to rest first, and I'll come when I go. The old boy spread his feet and ran out, and he didn't know what to do.

Kowloon had just washed his face when he arrived at the hotel designated by the old playboy, and the old playboy called him to hurry down, and he was waiting for him at the front desk.

Jiulong immediately rushed downstairs, only to see the old urchin carrying a camera on his shoulder, accompanied by a beautiful woman, with a small round face and a standard figure, claiming to be a reporter from the county TV station, surnamed Liu.

The old playboy was elated, pulled Kowloon and left, and said as he walked: "I asked Xiao Liu to help get the certificate, and then you will be a reporter, take this press card with you, and say that it is to visit the Huanglongyu market, needless to say, remember to write an interview report, so that Xiao Liu can go back to the business, I will make a cameo appearance as a photojournalist, Xiao Liu will be the host, go, go up the mountain." ”

Jiulong admired the ability of the old playboy, and praised him to the sky, and Xiao Liu over there was unhappy: "Jiulong handsome guy, your eldest brother knows how to use me, and every time he goes up the mountain, he uses this trick, causing me to be scared all day long." ”

The old playboy was busy with a flying kiss over: "My good girl, when did I treat you badly, wait for the next visit, let you eat and drink spicy, now which of the people who play jade in Xiaoshan doesn't know that I am an old playboy, everyone is just tacit, who dares to sue me?"

Jiulong watched the two of them flirting and scolding, pretending to be stupid on the side, and couldn't help but praise the old playboy a few words, which made the old playboy feel very comfortable.

Longling, which has not yet been freed from the state-level poverty-stricken county, can neither book a hotel nor find a taxi.

The old boy drove a Pajero SUV up the mountain, and the mountain road to the Supa River, one of the places of origin, was originally smooth, but now it is still more than 10 kilometers away from the production area, and the road is full of large and small yellow stones.
