In Hetian seed material, the color material has always been a hot spot, but most of the color is yellow, and the proportion of red Qin that can really be taken out is very small.
Today, I will share a very representative piece of Hongqin Qiaojiao "Zhong Kui", talk about the advantages and disadvantages of Hongqin seeds, and some tips for appreciating Hongqin.
Name: Zhong Kui.
Material: Xinjiang Hetian seed material.
Weight: 56g
Size: 65*34*19mm
This collection is skillfully carved from a single seed of red Qin, the color is full and heavy, the jade is oily and delicate, and the ripeness and waxiness are good.
The carving is mainly embossed, which completely retains the natural seed type, and the disc play is round and comfortable, and it is a piece of old-fashioned large door material.
Among the many Hetian seed materials, Hongqin should be regarded as one of the most picky materials. After all, judging from the appearance of the collection, many of the red seeds seem to be a little lackluster.
However, if you are a collector who has a certain understanding of seeds, you will be fascinated by this special color, and even regard it as your "graduation" work.
What are the advantages of Hongqin seeds?
First, the jade color is heavy and thick, and the oil is glutinous and mature!
The most outstanding thing about Hongqin seeds is always its color, which seems to be more in line with the aesthetics of Chinese players than the eye-catching red skin and white meat.
Moreover, the jade quality of Hongqin is also very glutinous, the lighting is not transparent and not stuffy, and you can see a very beautiful red halo, which is the most high-end boutique material.
Second, there are many changes, and it is the first choice for disc play!
At the same time, red Qin is also one of the most suitable seeds for playing, after getting started, it is full of oil, and the color will become more and more heavy and bright.
After the pulp is formed, the original stiff cotton stone will gradually disappear, and the integrity of the jade and jade color will be further strengthened, and it will gradually become a piece of oily and delicate red sheep fat.
What are the defects of Hongqin seed material?
First, the fineness is insufficient, and there are many flaws!
The fine density of Qinxi seeds is generally lower than that of white jade, and the situation of Hongqin is even more obvious, and many of Hongqin seeds are the hardest hit areas of stiff skin and stone grain.
Coupled with the river environment rich in iron ions, manganese ions are generally not very low, and many Hongqin will have black spots or dirty problems, which will also seriously affect the appearance of Hongqin.
Second, the material is uneven, and the alkali is returned!
The material properties of Hongqin seeds are polarized, there are very old and mature whole jade varieties of Hongqin, but the gram price is already more than 10,000 yuan, and most of the rest are semi-clinker that is a little bit worse.
The biggest hidden danger of these materials is the return to alkali, and the initiation caused by improper maintenance can make a piece of red Qin unrecognizable.
Do you have any tips for playing Hongqin?
To play Hongqin, you must keep in mind three sentences: you can play without appreciating it, you can emboss without cutting materials, and you can be old and mature without sealing wax!
Hongqin seed material is a play material is not a play material, do not choose easily if you don't like Panyu, a lot of Hongqin seed material is "released" out of the problem, jade does not leave the hand is its best way to maintain.
Although relief carving may seem relatively monotonous, it is a relatively safe method of carving. Hongqin belongs to the risk of cutting, and the deeper the carving, the more faulty the seed, don't think about the surprise of the material.
At the same time, the most important thing is always the degree of ripeness, as long as a piece of Qin material is cooked thoroughly, it can reduce a lot of trouble. It is also necessary to beware of merchants using sealing wax to cover up flaws, and this is how Hongqin, who is getting uglier and uglier the more he plays.
Finally, I have to say that although Hongqin seeds are beautiful, they are not real native red jade.
Whether the red jade seed material exists has always been very controversial, and at present, it is still a matter of waiting to see what happens, and let's first play the red Qin seed material clearly.
