Jadeite, a precious mineral known as the "Emerald of the Orient", has long been a top choice for jewelry enthusiasts and investors. However, many people still know very little about the origin and identification methods of jadeite rough. This article will introduce in detail the main source of jadeite rough - Changkou, and how to distinguish jadeite rough from different fields.
First of all, we need to understand what is the field of jadeite rough. In the jadeite industry, the field mouth refers to the mining place of jadeite rough, and the geographical environment and geological conditions of each field are different, and these factors directly affect the quality and value of jadeite. At present, the world's main jade fields include Myanmar's Mowanji, Laokeng, Xinkeng, Muna, Moxisha, etc., and China's Ruili in Yunnan, Sihui in Guangdong, Fuzhou in Fujian, etc.
Next, we will detail how to distinguish the jadeite rough from different fields.
1.Observe the color: The color of the jadeite rough at different fields has obvious differences. For example, the jadeite rough in Mowanji in Myanmar is dominated by vivid greens, while the Ruili jadeite rough in China is dominated by deep greens. In addition, the stability of the color is also an important identification factor, and the color of the jadeite rough in the same site should be consistent.
2.Check the texture: The texture of the jadeite rough is mainly determined by its mineral composition and structure. The mineral composition and structure of the jadeite rough will be different in different fields. For example, Myanmar's Laokeng jadeite rough is known for its delicate texture and uniform structure, while China's Sihui jadeite rough is known for its rough texture and complex structure.
3.Feel the feel: The feel of jadeite rough is mainly determined by its hardness and density. Generally speaking, jadeite rough with high hardness and high density feels heavier, while jadeite rough with low hardness and low density feels lighter. In addition, the feel of the jadeite rough will be different in different fields. For example, Myanmar's Muna jadeite rough feels heavier, while China's Fuzhou jadeite rough feels lighter.
4.Use professional equipment: For some jadeite rough stones that are difficult to identify by the naked eye and feel, we can use professional equipment to detect them. For example, the internal structure and mineral composition of jadeite rough can be observed through a microscope, and the elemental composition and content of jadeite rough can be analyzed by spectrometer.
5.Consult a professional: If you are still confused about the identification of jadeite rough, you can seek professional help. With their experience and expertise, they can help you accurately identify the site of the jadeite rough.
Overall, the identification of jadeite rough is a process that requires professional knowledge and experience. By observing the color, inspecting the texture, feeling the feel, using professional equipment and consulting professionals, we can more accurately identify the field of jadeite rough. However, no matter where the jadeite rough comes from, the most important thing is its quality and value. Therefore, when we buy jadeite rough, we should not only pay attention to its origin, but also pay attention to its quality and value.
