Because of the right choice of subject matter, this jadeite stone instantly increased 10 times after being carved

As we all know, for a piece of jadeite raw stone to become the final exquisite work, it needs to go through a long process of cutting - cutting - stone inspection - design - carving - polishing. It can be said that every step is meticulous and painstaking.

In fact, not every piece of jadeite raw stone can eventually become a classic work. In the jadeite industry, there are many examples of good materials being wasted. Whether a plain jadeite raw stone can eventually become a successful work depends on the careful design of the jade carver. In this process, it is crucial to choose the right subject matter based on the characteristics of the raw stone.

Don't believe it? Today I will take you to appreciate a piece of violet jadeite work. Because of the right choice of subject matter, it finally achieved a gorgeous transformation and its value instantly increased from 80,000 to 800,000.

Let’s take a look at this rough stone first. It is a rough stone from the Huika mining site. It has a very thick skin and is already in a semi-transparent state. From the opening, we can see that the water quality is very good and it is very translucent under the light. Moreover, it is a rare violet color. Generally, nine out of ten jadeite rough stones are spring wood. It is really rare to have a violet color and good water quality. After some bargaining, I bought it for 80,000 yuan.

Because of its small size and thick skin, you can forget about making a bracelet. As for the subject matter of the work, most people would choose to peel the skin, cut the material, and make a brand. If this material was processed in this way, there would be no classic work below.

The jade carving master made a bold innovation and decided not to make too many adjustments to the original stone. He just designed and carved the original opening part and preserved the surface of the jadeite raw stone, thus retaining the original state of the raw stone to the greatest extent.

The jade carver is a devout Buddhist enthusiast, and he finally designed a Buddhist statue with a strong Zen theme. We can understand the jade carver's meaning. In this impetuous society, we also need more of this kind of tranquility and peace that returns to nature.

At the opening of the original stone, the jade carver sketches his ideas on the stone stroke by stroke. His skill can be seen in every stroke. After the design is sketched, the next step is the meticulous carving process.

The rough draft has been completed and the general shape of the Buddha statue has been carved out.

The simplicity of the original stone surface complements the solemnity of the Buddha statue itself. Although it is just a rough piece, a picture of peace and tranquility is already coming to the face.

The next step is the detailed carving and trimming of the lines. The face of the Buddha is truly marvelous, solemn and peaceful, dignified and quiet. Do you have a feeling of being surrounded by the sound of Zen?

Let’s take a look at the final product. The violet is condensed and not scattered, and it does not fade in the light as worried at first. The simple surface of the original stone gives people a natural and tranquil beauty.

The word "Buddha" on the back elevates the charm of the entire work to a certain level, and is simply the finishing touch.

Rather than saying that jade carving is an art, it is better to say that it is a baptism of the jade carver's own soul. This understanding of the original stone and the expression of Zen jade cannot be expressed without a certain level of ideological cultivation. Just imagine, if this original stone chose other themes, would it still have such a wonderful performance? So respect the raw stone and respect nature, and it will give you the best return.
