Modify Date: 2013-12-2219:20:28352.Chapter 352 Identification and Maintenance of Jadeite
This time, the jade public market is over. But the topic of this public market has been circulating, because on this public market, someone stepped on the name of the Jade King to seal the king, and a 20-year-old newcomer "Taiji Jade King" appeared in the jade world.
"Stinky boy, I didn't expect to see you for so long, and your temper is rising!" At this time, Xu Yang and Lu Fang had already returned to Mark's villa. Sitting in the room, Lu Fang said with a smile.
"Master, don't make fun of me, how is the master lately? I haven't seen you for a long time, but recently my tea ceremony has improved in small steps, and I want to show off!" Xu Yang smiled.
"Your master doesn't know where to go, he is the only one who is looking for others, how can there be times when others are looking for him! Okay! Take out your jadeite, I really didn't expect that your kid is so rich, you can find two pieces of jadeite like this!"
Saying that, Lu Fang looked at the two pieces of jadeite in front of him, a black and white natural polar pattern jadeite. Halfway...... After sighing, he said, "Do you know why the old man of the Jade King wants to buy this piece of jade today?" Lu Fang pointed to the jade that Xu Yang solved today.
"It seems that when he was on the spot, the Jade King said something about the dragon stone species. I didn't understand, it's hard to say, it seems to say that the jadeite of the dragon stone is better than the jadeite of the glass ground! Master, I remember you taught me at that time that the jadeite of the glass ground is already the best! Why is there another dragon stone species?"
"Hehe, I knew you were going to ask. Then I'll tell you about it! The dragon stone species is a very rare species of jadeite, it is the only kind of jadeite that grows in the cave, it has the characteristics of warm in winter and cool in summer, the water is full and full, making people feel that the water is about to overflow, and the gloss is excellent.
Dragonstone jadeite is a rare and rare treasure in Myanmar for a hundred years, because the texture belongs to the quality of the cold species, it is extremely difficult to find, so it is named "Dragonstone" jadeite, which means that it is as difficult to meet as a dragon. At the moment, only Myanmar has it. And the last dragon stone species appeared about a hundred years ago. So this jadeite is really rare.
Dragonstone is the top species of jadeite, without cotton lines, impurities, smooth and delicate like silk, extremely warm and fluorescent. You have also seen that this kind of jadeite can already be said to be comparable to the Heshi wall in the beautiful jade! The more you look at it, the more jealous you kid become.
I'm going to explain it to you in detail. In fact, the reason why I didn't teach you at the time is that first, I didn't expect you to really solve this kind of jadeite, and secondly, this legendary dragon stone species is beautiful, and it is more of a nightmare! Have you seen the Jade King today? People who have reached his status actually whispered, just to get a piece of dragon stone seed, if it weren't for today's events, would you believe it?"
Hearing Lu Fang's words, Xu Yang shook his head! He felt that it was like a dream! But before he had time to think about it, Lu Fang continued: "If you want to talk about the characteristics of this dragon stone species, the most characteristic thing is that all dragon stone species are green, and they are all imperial green, that is to say, only the imperial green of the glass ground can form the dragon stone species under specific natural conditions!"
The second characteristic is that it has a cold and cold feeling3, and the texture is pure and transparent to the glass species, and has a light luster (fluorescence). Due to the composition of the jadeite texture, the jadeite dragon stone species warms the body and moisturizes the body in the case of winter, and is refreshing and natural in the case of summer. I've only heard about it before, but after touching it just now, I found that the record in the history book is indeed correct!
That's it, anyway, I've talked about it, and maybe one day you kid will solve another dragon stone seed! I'll talk to you about it carefully. Now teach you how to identify this jadeite, that is, how to tell the difference between dragonstone jadeite and glass ground jadeite!
Jadeite: Regardless of the raw material or finished jadeite, as long as you carefully observe it on the polished surface, you can usually see the interwoven structure of the spotted crystals. You can tell this by looking at it a lot!
Density and refractive index, as long as you are not a fool with long eyes, you can see it, especially you kid has a pair of extremely vicious eyes! The refraction of light is known as long as you take a strong flashlight to shine it!
Strong water support: that is, a drop of water is dropped on the finished jadeite product, and the water beads protrude is higher. Look at it!" Lu Fang picked up the mineral water on the side and flicked a drop of water on the jade with his finger, Xu Yang found that the water did not flow down on the jadeite, but stood there like half a bean!
Lu Fang said, "See! I'll go on to say the following." Stone flowers: There are small clumps in the jadeite, and the white fibrous crystals with slight transparency are intertwined. And the dragon stone species does not have this kind of stone flower! This is also the biggest feature.
Inclusions: The inclusions of the black mineral inclusions in the jadeite are mostly melted, and the edges of the particles are loose clouds, and the green becomes darker near the inclusions, and there is a saying that "green follows the black". In general, the size of the porphyry grains of uniform jadeite is average. Luster: Jadeite has a bright luster, good polish, and a bright, soft and strong glass luster. I don't need to say that!
I have said before that the quality of jadeite can be identified from four points. Positive, thick, yang, even.
Positive: It refers to the range of hues, according to the ratio of the primary color to the secondary color, that is, to be pure green, not mixed with other colors. For example, there is often a mixed oil blue color in the oil blue, and the value will be reduced.
Thick: refers to the depth of color, as far as emerald green is concerned, the concentration is best between 70% and 80%, and 90% is already too strong.
Yang: refers to the brightness of the jadeite color, and the brightness of the jadeite is mainly determined by the proportion of green and black or gray in the jadeite. The color will be bright if there is more black or gray, and the color will be gray and dark, and connoisseurs often take a figurative approach to represent the color of the bright sun. For example: boxwood green, parrot green, onion heart green, pepper green, all refer to the color of fresh yang. Spinach green, oil green, river green, and black green refer to dull dark green.
The fresher the jadeite, the higher the natural value.
Even: refers to the uniformity of the color distribution of jadeite. The color distribution of jadeite is generally uneven, and it is not easy to get jadeite with uniform color distribution.
The best color: should be pure green, green concentration in 70%-80%, bright Yangyang, uniform color distribution, this kind of high-grade jadeite, connoisseurs are used to call the old pit species. "Obviously, Lu Fang was very happy tonight, or a little excited! Talking about the origin and development of jade, it can be said that he taught Xu Yang another lesson from beginning to end. I'm tired of being someone else. However, Xu Yang listened very carefully.
"Next, I'll tell you about the maintenance of this jadeite. In fact, maintenance is very important. If you don't know how to maintain it, no matter how good the jadeite is, it will one day lose its due luster!
The first is to avoid collision, the hardness of jade is very high, but it is easy to crack after the collision, sometimes although the crack can not be seen with the naked eye, in fact, the molecular structure in the surface of the jade has been damaged, there are dark cracks, which greatly damages its perfection and economic value!
Second, avoid dust and avoid dust as much as possible. If there is dust in daily jade, it is advisable to clean it with a soft brush; If there is dirt or oil stains attached to the surface of the jade, it should be scrubbed with mild soapy water and then rinsed with water. Do not use chemical degreasing agents and degreasing fluids.
Third, it is best to put it in a jewelry bag or jewelry box to avoid scratching or damage. If it is high-end jade jewelry, it should not be placed on the counter to avoid dust and dirt, which will affect the transparency.
Fourth, try to avoid contact with perfumes, chemicals, soaps and human sweat. If jade comes into contact with too much sweat and is not wiped clean immediately after wearing, it will be eroded, causing damage to the outer layer and affecting the original brightness. In particular, the "glass ground" jadeite, mutton fat white jade, more avoid sweat and oil.
Fifth, avoid sunlight, jade should avoid sun exposure, because jade expands when exposed to heat, and the volume increases, which will affect the quality of jade. Hibiscus jade, crystals, agate, etc., may even burst when exposed to high heat.
Sixth, the accessories should be wiped with a clean and soft white cloth, and it is not appropriate to use a dyed cloth or a fibrous hard cloth to wipe. Jade jewelry inlaid with diamonds, ruby sapphires, emeralds and other gemstones should only be wiped with a clean white cloth to wipe off grease and dust, which will help maintain and maintain the original quality.
Seventh, it is necessary to maintain a suitable humidity. The quality of jade depends on a certain humidity to maintain, especially jade such as water urchin agate and crystal. The surroundings can't be too dry!"
To be honest, Xu Yang really hadn't paid much attention to these maintenance issues before, and after writing them down very carefully, he began to continue to listen to Lu Fang's teachings.
Until dawn. The two of them fell asleep. The next day, Xu Yang still got up early. Place the jade well! Of course, the people from the Red Plum Hall also came this time. So he will use the people of the "Red Plum Hall" to bring back those wool, for these pieces of superb jade, Xu Yang has his own plans!
"Xu Yang, I remember last night that you seemed to have something to ask me?" Lu Fang said while sitting on the sofa drinking the tea made by Xu Yang. Xu Yang nodded: "Master, I just wanted to ask you." Have you ever had a dream for days before, and it was real, or someone talked to you after falling asleep? It's so real that it's like going deep into your brain. But when I woke up, I found that it was just a dream. Such dreams will continue for days!"
Listening to Xu Yang's words, Lu Fang shook his head, but after thinking for a while, he said: "If Xu Yang you feel this way, then it is probably related to your recent nervousness or busyness, you are only 20 years old, and now you are a little like 200 years old! Don't think so much, you should relax when you should relax!"
Xu Yang knew that Lu Fang had good intentions, but he knew his own affairs. But he still smiled and nodded. That voice has been ringing in his ears these days, and it's too mysterious, or rather...... Fantastic?
Now Xu Yang is in no hurry to return to China, he has to continue to deal with some things! He has to solve that dream before he can go back......
