Hetian jade was one of China's "four famous jades". It was a kind of nephrite. In the traditional narrow sense, it referred to the jade produced in Xinjiang, but it did not specifically refer to the jade produced Hotan Prefecture. It was the name of a class of products. Stones with more than 98% tremolite could be named Hetian jade within the national standard. The main origins of Hetian jade are China's Xinjiang, Qinghai, and Russia. It had a variety of colors and contained a small amount of minerals. Its value was not only reflected in itself, but also in history, culture, and human health. For example, since the Neolith Age, Hetian jade had always been an important part of China jade culture. It was an important symbol of politics and culture. It could also be absorbed through the skin to relieve heat and qi, improve human tissue cells, enhance immunity and disease resistance. It also had the effects of beauty, promoting blood circulation, beautification, decoration, and wealth. In terms of trading Hetian jade, there was a Xinjiang Hetian Jade Trading Center in Shanghai, located at 777 Quyang Road, Hongkou District. It was the first and only trading center in Shanghai that specialized in Hetian seed jade works. It was close to the Dabaishu subway station and Yixian Viaduct. It was convenient for transportation and close to the Tianshan Hotel, the only distribution center for Hetian jade raw stones in Shanghai. It had the advantage of presenting the jade's richness and exquisiteness. When buying Hetian jade, there were some principles to pay attention to: 1. ** Choice of Origin **: Buy the narrow sense (such as the local jade species in Xinjiang, such as Hetian seed, Qiemo sugar, Yutian white, Ruoqiang yellow, etc.) and not the broad sense (such as Luodian white, Guangxi black, Tanghe yellow, Babi and other broad sense "tremolite jade"); Although the traditional Hetian jade is mainly produced in Hotan Prefecture, the acceptance of Russian and Qinghai materials has increased. However, for "new Hetian jade" such as Ximu River grinding jade, yellow white old jade, peach seed material, non-professional players should wait and see. 2. ** Character Selection **: - In terms of the choice of seed material, the priority was to buy white seeds instead of pure leather, because the quality of the leather was difficult to guarantee and it was possible to buy Russian seeds. - As for Russian jade and Qinghai jade, they should buy the old pit instead of the new pit. The old pit Russian jade was bright and beautiful, with excellent structure and thickness. The Qinghai old pit material was impervious to water, rich in jade color and fine in jade quality, while the new pit material was of poor quality. - Buy jade quality first rather than whiteness, such as Hetian seed material jade quality is good but may flash green, and high white material is often loose structure or not mature enough. - Ordinary players should buy popular jade (such as Wild Bull Valley, Basha material, Mida material, Jinshan sugar, etc.), while niche products were more suitable for experts. - He bought hand-carved Hetian jade. Machine carving was mostly used for mass production of low-end jade, so its collection value was low. - Playing with it was more important than viewing it. Materials that could be played with were more playable. - Buy quality, not quantity. Cheap currency was not as valuable as a few fine items. - Buy the material that opens the door (that is, the material that is undoubtedly authentic). The material that is in doubt will lose the fun of appreciation. In terms of identifying the authenticity of Hetian jade, there were simple methods: one was to scrape with a knife (Hetian jade hardness 6 - 6.9, ordinary knife hardness 5.5, can scrape off foam is fake Hetian jade); The second was to measure the density (weigh the weight through an electronic scale, measure the suspended weight in the water with a measuring cup, divide the two to get the density. Most of the density of Hetian jade is between 2.85 - 3.05, you can measure it several times to ensure accuracy). If you travel to Xinjiang to buy jade, you can choose a regular old store like the National Jade League Shiyu. The quality is assured and there is after-sales guarantee (there is no reason to return the goods within 100 days). <a href="/?from=ask_words" style="color:red" target="_blank">Read more exciting novels for free</a>

Here are some ways to identify Hetian jade: 1. * * Origin **: The authentic Hetian jade is produced in Hetian, Xinjiang. However, the broad concept of Hetian jade had been expanded. 2. The real Hetian jade felt warm, heavy, thick, and heavy, while the fake ones felt light. When placed on the skin, it would feel cool, but glass products did not have this feeling. 3. * * Hardness test **: Hetian jade has a Mohs hardness of about 6.5. If you take a knife and scratch it, there will usually be no trace left. However, many imitation materials now choose jade with high hardness. Even so, this method can still be used as a preliminary reference. 4. * * density measurement **: The water density measurement method is easier to operate. First, weigh the weight of the jade as A, then put the water cup on the electronic scale and return the value to zero. Tie the jade into the cup with a thin thread (do not touch the bottom of the cup), record the gram number B at this time, divide A by B to obtain the density. The density of Hetian jade is 2.9 - 3.1. 5. * * Optic Appraisal **: Use a magnifying glass or professional optical instrument to observe the internal structure of the jade. Hetian jade is translucent. Under strong light, it can be seen as cotton wool chaos and felt-like structure. If it is impervious to light or has no structure, it is not Hetian jade. It can also be identified by ultraviolet-assisted identification or X-ray fluorescence to examine the composition. In addition, the Xinjiang Hetian jade seed material had natural "pores" under the magnifying glass. The thickness was uneven and the arrangement was irregular. The artificial pores were the same size. 6. * * Sound Judgement **: Natural Hetian jade has a high density. The sound is clear and loud when knocked. You can take two pieces and knock them together. If the sound is hoarse, the density is low. It may not be natural Hetian jade. 7. * * Check the texture **: Hetian jade is moist, delicate, and soft. Its surface has a greasy luster. The moisture and greasy luster of other jades are not as good as Hetian jade. 8. * * Check certificate **: Hetian jade is expensive, and basically comes with an identification certificate. You can check the authenticity of the certificate on the official website through the code on the certificate. You can't find information on a fake certificate. If the appraisal agency produced a fake certificate, they could sue. 9. * * Appearance observation **: The color should be pure, with few impurities, mostly white, green, etc.; the texture should be delicate and soft; the surface should be smooth and smooth, and when it is seen under the sun, the luster will not change and the luster will be good everywhere; the water drops on the surface will be dew-like, and it will take a long time to disperse.

In general, seeds with finer grain size, uniform color, and high clarity were often more expensive. The price of Hetian jade seeds was also affected by the origin of the raw stone and its quality. Hetian jade was mainly produced in the Hotan Prefecture of Xinjiang. The underground jade reserves here were limited, and it was difficult to mine the ore. The supply of seed materials was insufficient, which pushed up the price. Its price was also related to market demand and fashion trends. With the improvement of living standards and the prosperity of culture and art, more and more people paid attention to the value and charm of Hetian jade. The demand for seed materials continued to increase, and the price would rise when the supply exceeded the demand. Some Hetian jade seeds favored by artists or collectors, such as rare varieties with exquisite patterns and historical value, were more expensive. From the price range, ordinary crafts-grade Hetian jade seeds, although they had the characteristics and value of jade, were priced at around 400 to 800 yuan. Some of the high-quality Hetian jade seeds that had been professionally processed and carved were often priced at more than 2000 yuan per gram, or even thousands of yuan, due to their special texture, good clarity, and color. In terms of kilograms, 15 years ago, the price of Hetian white jade seeds was about 100,000 yuan per kilogram. Now, the price of high-quality Hetian white jade seeds was at least 5 - 6 million yuan per kilogram. The price of jasper seeds was about 3,000 to 5,000 yuan per kilogram 15 years ago. Now, high-quality jasper seeds were generally about 100,000 - 150,000 yuan per kilogram. After carving, the price of the seed material was calculated by grams. For example, a high-quality Hetian white jade seed pendant that had been carefully carved by a jade carving master in the market was generally priced at about 10,000 to 20,000 grams per gram; a slightly inferior Hetian white jade seed pendant was priced at about 5,000 to 10,000 grams per gram; and a Hetian jade seed pendant was generally priced at about 1,500 to 2,500 grams per gram.
