Jadeite, known as the "king of oriental gemstones", is valued largely by its "species" and "water". So, how do you see whether the jadeite is old?Here's what makes this gemstone a secret.
First of all, it is necessary to understand the meaning of "seed" and "water". In jadeite jargon, "species" refers to the texture and structure of jadeite, which determines the transparency and luster of jadeite;"Water" refers to the moistness and transparency of jadeite, which is related to the internal structure and refractive index of jadeite. Generally speaking, the "old" jadeite has a delicate texture, high transparency and strong luster;The jadeite of the "water foot" is moist and translucent, full of vitality.
There are several important points to pay attention to when observing the water of jadeite. The first is transparency, high-quality jadeite should be transparent or translucent, and the internal texture should be uniform and free of impurities. The second is luster, good jadeite luster is warm and not dazzling, and the reflected light is soft. The second is the color, although the color of jadeite is diverse, but the color should be bright and evenly distributed. Finally, the internal structure of the old jadeite is dense, and it is not easy to see the graininess.
In addition, there are some professional tools that can be used to aid in judgment. For example, use a flashlight to irradiate jadeite to observe its light transmittance and internal imperfectionsOr use a magnifying glass to take a closer look at its surface texture and internal structure.
Of course, practice is the best teacher. If you want to really master the skills of watching jadeite water, you also need to see more, touch more, and compare more. Accumulate experience through continuous practice and improve the ability to appreciate jadeite.
