Just like a high film critic, to enjoy a good movie, Jade Lighting is also a field that requires a considerable degree of professional knowledge and keen insight. For novices or "Feiyou collectors" who are trying to improve their self-appreciation, the process of art appreciation can be a little confusing, however, after this article, you may find that you can already use a more professional eye to understand the quality and value of jadeite.
First of all, you have to understand what it means to turn on the lights. As the name suggests, lighting is to detect jadeite under light or sunlight. When performing this process, the naked eye, spotlights, or flashlights become the "magic weapon" in your hands. The lighting process can help you see the internal structure of the jadeite and its color distribution, and identify the water in which the jadeite is planted.
Now, let's explain what we mean by "growing water". This is a very technical term used to measure the ice and water content of jadeite. As the name suggests, ice jadeite is like clear ice, moist and smooth, with a delicate texture. The water part can help us judge the color of the jadeite, the more intense the color, the higher the value.
So how do you see "growing water" by turning on the lights? This is equivalent to the need to carefully sing and appreciate the mystery of jadeite under the light. In general, we can judge the "seed water" of jadeite by reflecting and transmitting observations.
First, we can look at the reflection. High-quality jadeite, the "water head" will be very good, the reflection is strong, the color is fresh, as if shining in the emerald green ocean with the beautiful brilliance of pearls. If the reflex is weak, it may indicate that the water is so-so.
Secondly, we can look at transmissibility. Look at the transmittance of jadeite, that is, to see the degree of "unity" of jadeite. Fine jadeite can transmit light, and there are no obvious impurities inside, no cracks, extremely transparent, as clear as seawater, this kind of jadeite planting water is of course excellent.
However, it should be reminded that lighting observation is only a part of water identification, and complete identification also requires careful examination of jadeite flesh, color, virtual reality, flaws and other nuanced texture elements. Each has an impact on the value of jadeite.
In general, looking at the water of jadeite, it is not only necessary to find such superficial things as how much light transmittance it has. You have to observe every detail of the jadeite and thoroughly understand the characteristics of the jadeite, so that you can see the true value of the jadeite.
