Where does jade come from and what is its meaning? Do you know all of this?

For those who have difficulty making decisions, it is really difficult to buy something, especially when choosing a pendant. There are so many different shapes and it is hard to know where to start. Yu Shi said there is an option called: Wu Shi Pai.

Wu Shi Pai is a jade plaque carved by the famous jade carving master Lu Zigang in the late Ming Dynasty. There is no decoration on the surface of the jade plaque, so it was named "Wu Shi Pai", which is a homophonic of "Wu Shi Pai", meaning peace and safety without troubles. It is simple but full of meaning.

Today, jade is talking about numbers. This is a simple and straightforward statement that everyone can understand at a glance. So what is the "six more and six less" of jadeite?

1. Polycrystalline:

Jade is polycrystalline, consisting of countless small crystals. Some are very fine, with grains as small as 0.01mm, while others are larger, reaching 2mm. Because it is a polycrystalline gem, its light transmittance is not as good as that of gems composed of single crystals.

2. Multi-mineral composition

In the past, people believed that jade was composed of only one mineral, jadeite. Current research has found that the minerals that make up jade are not just jadeite (jadeite is a type of pyroxene mineral), but also other sodium-containing pyroxenes such as sodium-containing pyroxene, diopside, etc., as well as some different amphibole minerals and albite, so it appears to be more complicated.

3. Colorful

Colorful means that jadeite has many colors and can appear on a piece of jade at the same time, which is not possessed by ordinary gemstones.

4. Multiple qualities/infinite changes in germplasm

There are many types of jade. This is because it is a polycrystal. The different coarseness, crystal shape, and bonding methods of polycrystals affect its transparency. Different structures make jade have different transparencies and different coarseness and texture.

5. Multi-period

Jade is not formed in one go. Judging from the relationship between the green color and the base of jadeite, the "base" is formed first and then the green is formed. Studies have shown that the color changes greatly, indicating that the formation of jadeite has multiple geological periods and many geological phenomena superimposed on each other.

6. Multiple styles

People process it according to its color, transparency, texture and shape of the original stone. Jewelry styles are divided into plain and carved types, with a variety of styles to suit all needs.

The "Six Young Masters" of Jade

1. Few from the perspective of geographical distribution:

From the perspective of its origin, it is not as good as other gems. It is only distributed in 5 to 6 countries, and the only one that can truly reach gem grade is Myanmar. Compared with other precious gems, its production areas are few.

2. From the perspective of formation conditions

Jade is formed under ultra-high pressure and low temperature. According to the structure of the earth, it can only be produced in areas where the floors collide. It also requires certain parent rock, that is, ultra-high pressure metamorphic rock, and such geological conditions are rare.

3. There is a shortage of high-quality jadeite

This can be seen from what we see and hear in the market.

4. The formation time is short

Burmese jade was formed more than 60 million years ago during the tectonic uplift of the Himalayan movement. It was formed over a long period of geological history.

5. From the perspective of supply and demand

More and more people like jade, because jade has always been the most favorite gem of Chinese people. However, as the living standards of people in mainland China continue to improve, the demand for jade will also continue to expand. Relatively speaking, the output of gem-grade jade is relatively small.

6. Few people know about jadeite

Due to the small number of jade producing areas and the fact that ordinary people have been prohibited from accessing Myanmar's jade deposits for decades, there is no way to study the jade deposits in detail, and the fact that the entire jade trade is shrouded in mystery. Therefore, the understanding of jade remains at the individual's emotional stage, and there has been no correct and open publicity and promotion.

What is jade? It is a holy product born from nature, containing endless essence, energy and spirit. It is the essence of Chinese civilization and contains the countless wisdom of our ancestors. To appreciate jade, one needs a peaceful mind, let go of all constraints, and let one's thoughts be completely immersed in the jade.

Jade, as an object, obtains the essence of heaven and earth, possesses the beauty of the five virtues, and represents the spirit of the unity of heaven and man. The spiritual jade that is collected from the essence of the sun and the moon can be used for all things. It can not only be used as rocks, plants, and utensils, but it should also carry morality and spirit.

However, with the rapid spread of information on the Internet today, I believe that everyone has learned a lot of useful information from Xiaobo. After all, I am a person who tells everyone the truth.

Why desire? Because of the mysterious beauty. Why beautiful? Because of the nurturing of heaven and earth. Follow your inner desire for beauty and explore the mysterious and profound soul; start with jade!
