Why does the cotton wool in jadeite disappear?

Jade is a stone polycrystalline aggregate that reaches the jade grade under geological action. It is mainly composed of jadeite or jadeite, sodium sodium chrome pyroxene and sodium calcium diabase, and contains minerals such as amphibole, feldspar, chromite, limonite, etc. The cotton wool in jade is actually mainly composed of white minerals such as albite, analcime, and nepheline, which already existed in the jade when it was formed. The higher the transparency of the jade, the clearer the cotton wool will be. However, the cotton wool contained inside the highly transparent jade is relatively less. The cotton wool in jade is actually a natural mineral. It will exist in all natural jade. This is also one of the ways to determine whether jade is natural.

Jadeite, also known as jadeite jade, jadeite and Burmese jade, is a type of jade. The correct definition of jadeite is a fibrous aggregate composed of pyroxene minerals, mainly jadeite minerals. But jadeite is not the same as jadeite. Jade is a stone polycrystalline aggregate that reaches the jade grade under geological action. It is mainly composed of jadeite or jadeite and sodium sodium chrome pyroxene and sodium calcium pyroxene omphacite. It may contain amphibole, feldspar, chromite, limonite and other substances. The cotton that appears on jade generally will not dissolve, because the cotton on jade is a natural mineral. This natural mineral already existed when the jade was formed, so these jade cotton fibers will not disappear.

Because these cotton fibers are formed when various minerals enter the jade when it is formed. Almost all jadeite raw stones have defects such as cracks and cotton wool, among which cotton wool is more common. Therefore, it is very difficult to get a relatively perfect and clean bracelet from a jadeite raw stone. Because most of the jade bracelets on the market have cotton inside. Unless the jade is not natural jade, there will be no cotton inside. Any natural jadeite will have cotton in it.

The cotton wool in jade refers to the translucent, slightly transparent white minerals that appear in patches, stripes, filaments, and ripples inside the jade. The main components of white minerals are albite, followed by nepheline, analcime, etc. and some gas-liquid inclusions. The formation of jade cotton wool is sometimes due to the arrangement of the crystal structure inside jade, and sometimes due to the presence of impurities. Therefore, the cotton that appears in jade is the mineral that entered the jade when it was formed, so current technology cannot remove the cotton in jade. Therefore, the cotton wool inside the jade will not disappear.

Secondly, jadeite that is maintained transparent refers to jadeite that is relatively transparent and of good quality. After being worn for a long time, it becomes even more transparent. This is possible, but the jadeite itself will not change much. Regarding cotton wool, only relatively transparent jade, at least high ice or above, will have the phenomenon of cotton wool becoming less after people wear it for a long time. In fact, it is not that the cotton wool really becomes less, but the oil from the human body seeps into the jade, making the jade more transparent as a whole, giving people a visual illusion.

In addition, although cotton wool is a defect in jade, it also reflects that the jade with cotton wool is often more transparent. If the jade is clear and transparent enough, with even distribution of cotton wool and uniform size and distribution of cotton spots, it will add a lot of color to the jade. For example, the famous snowflake cotton produced from the Mu Na mine is praised by people in the industry as "sea and sky are one color", "snowflakes", "the beginning of chaos" and "Muna Supreme" to praise the quality of Mu Na jade. Its characteristic is that the cotton wool in the jade floats like snowflakes, and the material used to create winter works has a natural artistic conception.

In addition, the presence of cotton has a profound impact on the quality of jade, either good or bad. If it develops in a positive direction, it can greatly enhance the beauty of jade and add a lot of color to it. If the situation develops in a negative direction, the value of jade will be greatly reduced. Typically, lint is as small as possible. There are a lot of jade cotton wool, which doesn’t mean that the jade is bad. For example, the wood jade in ice jade is famous for the white cotton wool inside. The cotton wool in ice jade is also called stone flower, which reflects its value.
