How much do you know about jadeite mining?

1. What is the field of jadeite?

The field is where jade is produced.

The Burmese jade production area is also called the mining area or field area, which is divided into six fields.

Each field is divided into many areas.

The jade produced in each site has its own characteristics in appearance, quality and color.

According to the particularity of the jadeite in the field,

Come to observe and judge whether this jade is worth gambling on.

The site is divided into the old site, the new site and the new and old site. The six areas are:

1. Old field area (also known as old pit and old factory)

① Pagang field area, there are more than 28 famous field sites including Huika, Muna, Dagudi, Sitongka, Pagang, etc.

②Mukan field area, there are more than 14 famous field sites including Damukan, Quebing, Huangba, etc.

③Nanqi field area, there are 9 famous fields including Nanqi, Mohan and so on.

④Houjiang field area, there are more than 5 famous fields including Houjiang, Leidachang, Jiamo, Moshouguo, etc.

2. Xinchang District (also known as Xinkeng Xinchang)

⑤ New field area, there are more than 11 famous fields including Massachang, Kaisu, Duwei, Muluangang, etc.

3. New and old fields (also called new and old factories)

⑥ New and old field areas, famous field sites include Longtang field site, etc.

2. What are the new and old pits of jadeite?

Old pits are also called old factories, and new pits are also called new factories or new factory jade, etc.

In jade mines, all jadeite that is transported by river water and then deposited and accumulated is called old mine and old factory.

Those "original rocks" are also called rooting stones and new pits and new factories.

In mines, it is generally called new pits and old pits, and in the inland areas outside the mines, it is also called new species or old species, etc.

It can be accurately identified by the naked eye. The quality of old pits is good, while the quality of new pits is poor.

3. What is a door opener?

Opening the door is also called opening the skylight.

Because the raw material of jade is covered by a layer of skin,

I don't know whether it is good or bad, so I have to cut a piece off from the raw material for observation.

It's called a door opener. Polishing refers to using a file or sandpaper to remove the skin from the jade.

Expose the jade so that its quality can be observed.

However, the cut or rubbed areas are only local areas of the jadeite.

It is very risky to not explain everything about jadeite.

Estimate the quality of the interior from the local opening.

Whether there is green, etc., is a very high skill.

4. What is the dragon or divine species of jade?

Dragon or divine jade refers to jade whose green color is completely dissolved into the "earth".

The green color is evenly distributed, and the color and ground are coordinated.

The color tone is neither too dark nor too light, and no color roots are visible.

The gorgeous and lustrous beauty is revealed from the "ground" of the jade.

It is the highest quality variety of jadeite.

5. What is the color root of jadeite?

On a piece of all-green jadeite jewelry,

See a dot or a thin strip of slightly darker green,

This slightly darker green that gradually transitions to the relatively lighter green is called the color root.

Color root is a sign to judge the authenticity of jade green.

But high-grade special jadeite,

The green is very uniform, with no difference in depth or lightness, and has no color roots.

Too many color roots will also affect its quality and price.

Therefore, comprehensive consideration should be given during identification and evaluation.
