There is a kind of jade that makes you think of an old song: "Love is a light, so beautiful, guiding the future we want." What kind of jade will give you such imagination? I believe many jade lovers know it, that is black jadeite, also known as "lover's shadow". How did such a sexy name come from? It is said that in Myanmar, ancient books record that the hair of fairies in the sky is black and shiny under natural light, but when close to the sun, it takes on a magical green color. This dreamy color is thus likened to the beautiful figure in the hearts of men, and the beautiful black jadeite just fits this characteristic, so black jadeite has such a unique nickname. In fact, just over 20 years ago, black jade was a material that no one valued. Some jade merchants gave it away to everyone they met, or when you bought something. A lot of good material was given away, just like the colorless ice material in earlier times. Unfortunately, we now have not caught up with the good opportunity of that year, and can only sigh in regret. In 2002, at a high-end auction in Hong Kong, a piece of high-quality black jadeite was sold for 1.3 million Hong Kong dollars. Since then, black jadeite has become famous and attracted the attention of many collectors. People gradually paid attention to this special jade and learned that black jadeite is buried deep under the surface, the amount of mining is very small, and black jadeite with good water quality is even rarer and harder to find. Whether in China or Myanmar, black is believed to have the power to ward off evil spirits, and the black jadeite with a vibrant green color is even more appealing. So what kind of black jadeite is worth collecting? The most important thing is to look at the color. It must be black enough under natural light and green enough under transmitted light. If it is whitish or gray under natural light and bluish or green under transmitted light, the value of such jadeite will be relatively low. The structure of black jade is generally delicate and dense, which shows the exquisite craftsmanship. When purchasing black jade, you need to pay attention to its craftsmanship. If you can collect a master's work, it is definitely worth collecting. Even if it is plain, it also pays great attention to its grinding and polishing. Red jadeite and green jadeite are often favored by ladies, while the low-key and restrained black jadeite is the favorite of men, reflecting the elegance and restrained nobility. Elegant you, do you like this unique jadeite? fcgc66 fcgc99 |
