A Supreme Treasure popped out from the dull jadeite raw stone. The sculptor’s technique is so amazing!

Gambling on jade is a professional term in the jewelry industry, referring to the fact that jade is covered with a layer of weathered skin when it is mined, and it is unknown whether it is good or bad. The buyer relies on his luck and experience to select the stone, cut open the skin and take out the jade. We cannot tell the quality of a stone just by its appearance, so this industry has high costs and risks, so it is called "gambling on stones."

Generally speaking, the stones obtained from gambling on stones are rarely good stones of good quality, but once we find such stones, we need to find a professional sculptor.

When a piece of high-quality jadeite raw stone falls into the hands of a sculptor, the good raw materials and exquisite craftsmanship can make the value of this jade soar, and even become a one-of-a-kind piece in the world. Even if a piece of raw stone of average quality falls into the hands of a sculptor, its value can be maximized by combining its own characteristics and becoming an exquisite and excellent work.

Now let’s take a look at how these carving masters make these plain raw stones shine!

This piece of jade came from the Southern Qi field. The weathered skin on the outside has been mostly peeled off, and the quality of the overall raw stone can be seen. This raw stone is icy and clear, moist overall, and covered with obvious floating flowers. It is a piece of ice-type floating flower jadeite, and its quality is relatively good. Using this relatively small material to avoid cracks, we were able to produce three large plaques, two small and one large. After the initial carving, they had already formed rough pieces, which were exquisite and detailed, and had shown good results.

After careful processing by the sculptor, the final product was finally obtained. The three jade plaques are carved into the images of a dragon and a Pixiu respectively. The dragon plaque uses the relief technique, which is generous and majestic, vividly embodying the image of a dragon, and is lifelike. The Pixiu pendant has been embossed, making it smooth and flawless, exquisite and cute, making you love it. Such a warm and translucent jade paired with the auspicious beasts of dragon and pixiu symbolizes good luck, fortune and wealth, which is perfect.

This stone comes from Kengmunā. The weathered leather on the outside has a very good texture, which indicates that the quality of the raw stone inside is high. After opening, the overall shape is regular, and through the light you can see that it is very transparent, cooked from the inside to the outside, and has a full icy feel. The internal structure is very delicate and warm, with a dark green color, and is of high value.

Several small pieces were also obtained from this raw stone, which were then processed by the sculptor and carved into the images of lucky melons and lucky beans. The overall quality is translucent and warm, with a faint water-like texture, which well reflects the characteristics of the original stone. The three lucky beans are round and neatly arranged together, which means winning three prizes in a row, and all good fortune, wealth and longevity will come to you. The two lucky melons are translucent and plump, which symbolizes the continuation of descendants and is a good omen for peace, happiness and longevity!

As the saying goes, "30% material, 70% workmanship", carving is very important for jade. Only by choosing the right sculptor can you better carve a piece of jade art!
