When buying raw jadeite, you need to pay attention to these four points

The full opening of the live broadcast market has led to all kinds of jade entering the field of vision of jade lovers. For example, before, there was almost no access to gambling on raw stones, rough materials, etc., especially rough materials, which are much cheaper than finished products and have become the choice of many jade lovers. However, there are some precautions when playing with rough goods, which Cuihui Jewelry can talk about with you.

Don't look at color under the lamp

In fact, no matter it is rough material or finished product, we do not recommend looking at the color under the light. Many jade lovers have a habit of looking at any goods under the light or using a flashlight to illuminate them. Please be aware that what we are looking at is the defects of jade, not the color of the rough goods.

Because normally, if the thickness of jade is sufficient, a flashlight or other lights will make the color of the jade darker, causing many jade lovers to think that the color of the raw jade is good. As a result, you will find that it seems to have faded after polishing. Therefore, we often say that what we see under the light are flaws, not colors.

More cotton is not necessarily better

Due to the popularity of snowflake cotton in recent years, many people think that all "cotton" is beautiful. In fact, it is not. It is still the vanguard of jade "flaws". If there is too much cotton and it does not look good, it will greatly affect the price of the jade.

Rough jade has a certain gambling nature, so it cannot be as transparent as the finished product after polishing. Many people cannot tell how heavy the cotton is. Some jade lovers often complain after buying raw jade and polishing it. They clearly only saw a little cotton when they bought it, but why did it become a large ball of floating cotton when they threw it out? Is it because the jade is not the right one?

Watch out for small cracks

If there are no problems with the above two, then there are still cracks that need attention! When you get a piece of jade rough material, be sure to check it carefully to see if there are any cracks. Look at it from multiple angles and don't be anxious.

Especially for some high-end jade rough materials, if you are not careful and fail to notice the cracks, the value of the entire product will be greatly reduced. Of course, if the cracks only appear on the surface of the jade rough material, they can be removed by polishing.

The difference between oiling and not oiling

If you often watch live broadcasts of raw materials, or go to the raw material market, you will find that many merchants will apply some jade oil to the raw materials to make them feel shiny and look better.

Applying oil actually has both advantages and disadvantages. The advantage of applying oil is that you can see the internal structure of the jade more clearly, and it has no effect on the observation of cracks. However, it will affect our ability to see the water head of the rough jadeite. Rough jadeite that is not oiled may cover up the original defects, such as dirty spots, scattered spots and small cracks, so we need to look at it carefully.

Jade, whether it is rough material or raw stone, has a certain gambling nature. There is no such thing as an absolute "blood profit" as the anchor tells you. Buying rough materials requires rich practical and theoretical knowledge. The right way is to look more and buy less!
