How to choose snowflake cotton?

How to choose snowflake cotton?

In the early years, "cotton" was considered an absolute defect, which directly affected the final value of jade.

However, in recent years, people's attitude towards "cotton" has undergone a tremendous change!

Sometimes not only will it not affect the value of the jade, you may even have to pay extra to buy the "cotton"!

This high-priced cotton is the famous "snowflake cotton"!

There is a saying in the jade circle: " The sea and the sky are one color, dotted with snowflakes, the chaos is just beginning, and Mu Na is supreme ", which refers to snowflake cotton.

The reason why snowflake cotton is so popular is that it presents a unique artistic conception and beauty!

The snowflakes fall sporadically and in an orderly manner, just like a silent snowfall in the cold winter, which is extremely beautiful.

It has attracted countless jade lovers to pay more for it, and they are even willing to pay a higher price!

But then again, are all “snowflake cotton” valuable?

The reason why the "snowflake cotton" mentioned in the previous example has a beautiful artistic conception is because there is "heavy snow" inside it.

The stars are twinkling, so beautiful!

But once it snows heavily, all the mood will be broken...

It looks like a blizzard during extremely bad weather, and it is filled with smoke and haze!

Therefore, when choosing snowflake cotton jade, friends can focus on the following aspects:

① Is the cotton evenly distributed?

The snowflake cotton with obvious light transmittance and evenly distributed texture looks spiritual and beautiful.

②The cotton should be small rather than large

The smaller the cotton spots are, the more obvious the cloud-like feeling will be, and the smaller its impact on the transparency of jade will be.

③The amount of cotton should be moderate

Too much or too little is not good. Too much will make it look turbid, while too little will not create a sense of atmosphere.

If the above three points can be met at the same time, the quality will definitely be good and the price will naturally not be very high.

Therefore, friends can focus on their own preferences and budget. For example, they can choose snowflake cotton jade with evenly distributed cotton spots but larger cotton spots!
