What kind of black is the black of black chicken jade?

Black chicken jade is also called "black jade". Its characteristic is that it has black spots. Because it looks like the black skin of a black chicken, it is called "black chicken jade". Of the mineral composition of black chicken jade, more than 98% is jadeite, and the remaining 2% is a small amount of accessory minerals and black pigments. When the black substance appears only in small amounts and locally, the color of the jade appears grayish white or grayish black, which is called "incense ash ground" jade.

How to buy beautiful "black chicken"

Like all jades, the selection of black chicken jade also pays attention to its type, water, color, base and workmanship.

① kind. That is to say, the texture is fine. The better ones should be above glutinous type, with fine crystals, uniform and delicate. The high-end ones can reach ice type. The beans with poor texture are mainly coarse beans, with strong crystal granularity and loose structure.

②Water head. Black jade with good water content is relatively transparent, allowing light to penetrate through it. Medium and low-grade black jade with relatively poor water content is opaque, and light cannot penetrate through it.

③Color. The darker the better. Pure black will appear brighter, and the color distribution should be uniform.

④Bottom. The cleanliness of jade, and whether there are defects such as cracks and cotton strands also directly affect the quality of jade. When the black dots in the black chicken jade appear only in very small quantities, like "fly poop", it is a defective product and is not worth mentioning.

⑤Technology. Jade carving technology is an intuitive expression of jade culture, and good technology can play a role in conveying culture. Some jade carving designers can even turn decay into magic and carve some black chicken species with poor color distribution into exquisite jade carvings.
