The carving process of Guanyin in Muna

The carving process of Guanyin in Muna

The materials from the Mu Na mine account for a considerable proportion of the high-end water-quality materials. After being picked up, they have a strong gum feel and although they look like ordinary skins, the texture and water quality of the meat inside are both top-notch after being cut open, so it is not undeserved to call it the Supreme Mu Na.

This is the white rock sand material from the Muna mine. The black parts on the skin are the manifestation of sand falling off. This material has yellow fog and blue flowers. According to the fog color of white, yellow, red and black, the base should be clean. Let's open the window first to see the situation.

After opening the window, it was just as expected, the base was very clean. Generally speaking, things with a clean base are more suitable for carving figures.

Slowly expand the window to determine the cracks and water quality of the material. After completely cutting the material, be ready for the next step of carving.

After peeling, the jade is cut along the crack to take out the largest piece of material. The jade carver refers to the characteristics of the material, combines the customer's requirements, and designs a free-spirited Guanyin based on the theme of Guanyin and the material's own conditions.

Everyone is familiar with the process. Start with the rough and then the fine. First, make the general shape and then gradually refine it.

The ice type of Mu Na almost all have one thing in common, the fluorescence is not strong, but the glue feeling is good, so some dimming polishing is necessary, mainly focusing on the concave and convex, to retain the maximum size of the material.

The final polishing effect shows that the material itself has blue flowers, which can be relatively considered as tri-color material, but tri-color goods are rarely produced in the Mu Na mine.

When it comes to ice-type materials, fluorescence is innate. If the material comes from an old mine and is of good quality, there will also be a sense of glue.

There are mountains and rivers engraved on the back, and the fog color on the back is relatively obvious.
