Hetian jade is a collection category that relies heavily on personal experience, and many knowledge and skills are passed on by word of mouth, which has also produced many unavoidable misunderstandings.
Myth 1: Hetian seeds have skin color!
Hetian jade leaves skin and pores, as well as beautiful color and skillful carving, in fact, it has only become popular in the past ten years, and before that, it was just a jade flaw to be removed.
And there are some white seeds that have no skin color at all, and they are also fake Hetian seed materials. If you don't have skin color, you don't count as seed material, and you really have to overturn a boatload of people.
Myth 2: Seed material is better than mountain material!
If this is changed to say that most seed materials are better than mountain materials, then the problem is not too big. But if you say it absolutely, it's easy to be slapped in the face by reality.
Take black green jade as an example, although the black green seed material is oily jade, it is very good. But compared with the black green mountain material of Taxian County that has no structure for lighting, whether it is jade color or material, it is really a bit worse.
Myth 3: Xinjiang jade quality is the best!
Xinjiang is a concentrated production area of traditional Hetian jade, and there are many high-quality jade species. But if you look farther, you will find that many local materials can wrestle with Xinjiang materials.
There is Qinghai in China, which is verdant, full of emerald and white jade. There are Russian jasper abroad, and the jade color is bright and rarely has black spots. Both kinds of materials are better than Xinjiang materials, and they are naturally much more expensive.
Myth 4: The white jade of Russian materials is all high white!
Many people think that it is Russian material when they see high white jade, but in fact, the jade color of Russian material is very rich, there are high white and cold white, and there are not few green and gray ones.
Many Russian white jade mountain materials are high green and white jade, which looks very similar to the end material or seed material. But the fineness and jade quality are far apart, and if you patronize and look at the jade color, I am afraid it is easy to be tricked.
Myth 5: There are no black spots in the jasper of the Russian material!
It's not that there are no black spots, but the black spots are more concentrated, and the chroma is more condensed, and sometimes it can be used as a material for beautiful and skillful carving.
There is also a kind of Ulan Sea Russian blue, and the black spots are more scattered than Xinjiang jasper. However, because many of the Ulanhai jasper are refreshing and bright apple green, they have become the favorite of young players.
Myth 6: Qinghai materials are very watery!
Qinghai material has strong light transmittance, more watery than oily, and there are many jade internal waterlines, but this is all Qinghai new pit material.
There is a huge gap between the old pit material and the new pit material in Qinghai, and the jade quality is also very distinctive. For example, the white jade of Yeniugou is a very rare Hetian jade steel sheet, and the density is not worse than that of Xinjiang white jade.
Myth 7: Gold-inlaid jade is not good jade!
Good jade is not inlaid with gold, and there is no good jade inlaid with gold", in fact, it is talking about the Hetian jade Korean materials specially supplied by those supermarkets, this low-end jade species from Chuncheon, South Korea is indeed a little unpraiseable.
But if it's a gold-inlaid jade seed, it's two concepts entirely. The play material is too good to be reluctant to punch, so it will be worn in the way of gold inlay, and such gold and jade are really full of gold and jade.
Myth 8: Old jade is more valuable than new jade!
Most of the old toys are more expensive than the new objects, because in addition to the value of the collection, there is also historical value, but this point is somewhat exceptional to Hetian jade.
The old jade of Hetian jade cannot be sold as new jade, on the one hand, because of the problem of carving skills, and on the other hand, it is also limited by market recognition. But if it is a real ancient one-of-a-kind, it is the most collectible treasure at any time.
Myth 9: "Hetian seeds" is equal to "Hetian jade seeds"!
"Hetian seed material" is the river material produced by the Yulong River and the Karakash River, but "Hetian jade seed material" can refer to the Hetian jade produced by all rivers.
For example, Tanghe Caiyu and Ximuhe abrasives are "Hetian jade seeds", but their origins are not Hetian, Xinjiang, and of course they are not "Hetian seeds". It can only be said that these word games, it is better for merchants to play less.
Myth 10: Being able to issue a certificate is "serious" Hetian Yu!
This can only be said that Hetian jade should be Hetian jade, I don't know if it's serious or not. After all, even Luodian's "big soap" can issue a Hetian jade certificate, and it is also sold in the live broadcast room in the name of mutton fat jade.
Dozens of dollars and hundreds of thousands of things out of the same appraisal certificate, such a market is not chaotic is strange!
