As a precious gemstone, jadeite is often surrounded by a weathered shell. And the formation of these shells is that jadeite undergoes chemical and physical changes under natural conditions such as crustal movement, weathering, and oxidation. Among them, the jadeite rough stone is considered to be one of the representatives of high quality.
The formation of jadeite rough can be traced back to an earlier mineralization age, and its jade degree is also high. In the process of formation, jadeite ore has undergone the action of natural conditions such as crustal movement and **, which has undergone chemical and physical changes in its internal structure. At the same time, the surface shell has undergone a process of weathering and peeling, leaving behind a hard, adherent layer of sand. Some of these unweathered grains of sand are strong, some are round and full, and some have even been transformed into jadeite. The formation of this kind of water turning sand indicates that the mineralization age of jadeite rough is long and the degree of jade is high, so the price increase probability of the cut product is also high.
There is a wide variety of colors in the rough jadeite, including black, white, gray and yellow. Different colors correspond to different mines, such as Moxisha, Mowanki, Muna and Umbale. Among them, the quality of Moxisha Mine is the best, and its water-turned sand jadeite rough is often sought after.
In the jadeite rough, the skin shell of the jadeite turned by water and sand has a special significance. This kind of crust is baptized by the natural environment, undergoing crustal movement, weathering, oxidation and other processes, forming a unique sand layer. Some of these grains of sand are hard and powerful, some are round and full, and some have even been transformed into jadeite. The formation of this sand layer not only represents the long metallogenesis age of the jadeite rough, but also indicates its high degree of jadeization. Therefore, the jadeite rough stone of water turning sand has attracted much attention in the market.
However, it should be noted that there are also artificially made water-turned sand jadeites on the market. These artificially manufactured jadeites are treated with a sandblasting machine or ultra-high-pressure water cannon to create a water-to-sand effect on their surface. However, compared with the naturally formed water-to-sand jadeite, artificially made water-to-sand jadeite often lacks the natural texture and feel of the drop. Therefore, for novices, it is necessary to know and discern more to avoid being fooled.
