Originally, black was considered a dirty color for jade, so its value has been relatively low for many years. However, with the advancement of jade carving, jade carvers have discovered that due to the unevenness of black jade, combined with its water quality, it can produce a unique Chinese painting ink feeling in carving. It can be used as a kind of color and utilized by carving masters to create more unique themes!

Today I will share with you a piece of jadeite raw stone that I bought online for 3,000 yuan. After a few cuts, the cut surface was all black. Those who don’t know might think it is black jadeite. In fact, it is a piece of black chicken jade. Black chicken jade is also called "black jade". Its characteristic is that it has black spots.

The original stone has cracks, and we take out materials based on the cracks. These are a few pieces of material that are very bright under natural light, almost icy, and look like ink dripped on them.

It can be considered a big increase. Of course, knowledge and experience play a part in it. It can be said that you are very lucky to be able to find a piece of raw stone with ice-quality water on the Internet!

The sculptor can use the gray-black color of the material to design jade carvings with unique charm, which has become one of the objects pursued by many jade lovers.

I used the characteristics of the material itself to carve, and ground off the spots during the carving process. I carved three animal themes. I forgot to take a picture of the design drawings as I was too busy, so I’ll just show you the effect of the finished product!

The difference between black chicken jadeite and black jadeite

The surface of black chicken jade looks black, and the surface of black jade is also black, but in fact, black chicken jade is not black jade!

Since black chicken jade is also called "black jade", many people confuse black chicken jade with black jadeite. In fact, although they are both jadeite, they are two completely different types of jade. Black jadeite is actually dark green jade, while black chicken jade is black. They can be distinguished under strong light.
