The value of 18 kilograms of black jadeite raw material increased a hundred times after being cut!

Friends who love jade must be familiar with it. This black raw stone, which looks ordinary at first glance, is the protagonist of today - black jade. It is completely inconspicuous to outsiders, but it is a treasure to insiders. The magical green color inside can be seen through strong light. It is the "new darling" of the jade industry in recent years.

The risks of gambling on jadeite are already high in the gambling world, and the risks of gambling on black jadeite are even greater, because no matter how thin the black jadeite raw stone is, it is quite difficult to judge, and it is a whole stone with a dull head. Every step of cutting is full of risks. How can you cut this 18-kilogram material well?

It can't be seen by the naked eye, and the light can't shine through it, so you can only cut it in half and take a gamble. Every cut is thrilling.

After cutting, the blackness is very good and the base color of the original stone is also very good. Although there are a few cracks, the impact is not big. Whether the base color of this black jade is clean or not needs to be sliced ​​and observed.

In order to better observe the material, small pieces were cut out from the places with many cracks on the edges. By shining a light on it, it can be found that the color is bright green and the water head is sufficient. It is extremely rare for black jadeite to reach this quality.

It doesn’t matter whether the price increases a lot or a little. Consider cutting as many brands as possible without wasting materials.

The lighting effect of the cut-out sign is also excellent!

Next, let’s take a look at the finished product, which is simply stunning.

Although black jade became popular later than other colors of jade, this did not hinder people's love and attention to it. At a well-known auction in Hong Kong in 2002, a rare black jade was sold at a high price of 1.3 million Hong Kong dollars. Since then, black jade began to appear in people's sight and successfully attracted the pursuit and collection of jade lovers.

Black jade also has different qualities, water content, and color. It also has a somewhat contradictory characteristic: black jade is both black and not black. Due to the arrangement, combination, and density of the crystals, black jade appears black on the surface, but appears green after being passed through strong light.

The finer the texture of the black jade, the higher the quality and transparency, and the purer and more transparent the color you see. Some black jade of lower quality will have a grainy feeling inside, so the color is relatively worse.

The many characteristics of black jadeite determine its importance in the jade market. It also has all the characteristics of high-end jadeite. The collection value of high-quality black jadeite without flaws can be compared with that of green jadeite.

Many people do not have a deep understanding of black jade, but they are quite curious about this mysterious jade. Its unique hidden color characteristics are also very attractive.

So how can we choose a good piece of jadeite: we need to grasp these eight aspects, namely color, purity, hardness, hiddenness, type, workmanship, weight, and blue.

Color: The color of jadeite should be observed under natural light. The surface should be black and the water should be green.

Purity: To observe the clarity of black jadeite, it must be done under strong light. There must be no impurities or white cotton inside, and the water head should be good, with light being completely transparent over one centimeter.

Hardness: Look at the polished surface of the black jadeite, which requires a dense structure, high hardness, and strong glass luster.

Hidden: Pay attention to the frosted surface of the black jadeite. The frosted surface can usually hide a lot of white cotton or impurities, so you need to observe it carefully.

Type: When looking at the texture of black jadeite, the most important thing is to see how glutinous the structure is, whether it has a sticky feeling and whether it reflects fluorescent light when shining in from the side.

Workmanship: Usually the workmanship of black jade is quite complicated, so the smoother the black jade, the better. Except for figures and flower pieces, the smooth ones are popular because they have high requirements on the texture of the material and have relatively perfect clarity.

Weight: The larger and thicker the jadeite, the better.

Blue: If the surface color of the black jade is not black enough, and the translucent color is not green enough, it can only belong to the blue water series. However, the old black jade with glue is also quite good. If the translucent color feels scattered and light, the quality is not very good and it is the type that is not pleasing to the eye.

Natural black jade is very rare in the market. It is the best among natural jade and has a very high collection value.
