Is there a difference between old and new jade materials?

Is there a difference between old and new jade materials? Of course there is.


In the first case, the distinction is based on the early or late age of the raw stone mining. For example, we often hear people talking about Tengchong old material. What is Tengchong old material? Is there really one? Many friends who like jade may not know about Tengchong. Everyone knows Ruili. In fact, the port of Ruili has only been developed for about 30 years. In the hundreds of years before that, Tengchong was the main transit station for jade to enter China. In the hands of local jade merchants in Tengchong, there are many old materials, but most of them are covered materials or window materials. In addition, there are some materials that were abandoned because they did not conform to the aesthetic of that era. Among these materials, there are high-quality ones and very ordinary ones. You can only know their specific quality after cutting them.


In the second case, if the Pingzhou public auction is opened this month, and I went there to have a look, I saw a piece of material that I really liked but I didn't bid for it. Three months later, when I went to the Yingjiang public auction again, I saw this material again. I would say that it was old material. The old material here refers to the material that appears more than once on the public auction. If you have never seen it before, it is called new material. No matter which of the above situations it is, the so-called old material or new material has nothing to do with the quality of jade.



What is really related to quality are called old mines and new mines, or old venues and new venues, but they are only useful when playing with stones, because gambling on stones is mainly about looking at the skin and the venue. When it comes to the finished product, all the things mentioned before are useless, because the finished product has no gambling nature and no secrets at all. It is as obvious as the lice on a bald man's head. When you choose a finished product, just take it and carefully look at the quality and color. If someone now takes a finished jade and tells you that this is old material from the past and there is no such material now, it means that he either does not understand jade, or he really can't find a selling point for this product, and he is using metaphysics to fool you.
