Do you know the water line, jade crack, and stone ribs in Hetian jade?

October 21, 2023

The characteristics of Hetian jade are more or less known to everyone, but when you hear the terms "stone ribs", "waterline" and "jade crack", do you really understand? Let’s take a look at it with Xiaobian. Are these all awkward?

First, the water line

The waterline in Hetian jade refers to a fine vein-like structural feature. The formation of the waterline is generally in the process of the formation of Hetian jade, which is affected by the geological movement, causing the fracture of the jade ore body, and later formed a secondary crystallization in the long years. It is a linear trace that we can directly see through the naked eye. The transparency of the waterline is generally higher than the jade next to it, giving a sense of transparency and a distinct appearance difference from the surrounding jade. The hardness of Hetian jade is generally between 6 and 6.5, and the crystals in the waterline are generally very detailed, which results in a higher density at the waterline than the surrounding jade.

Usually, Qinghai material can see the water line contained in jade. Many people think that it is the basis for distinguishing Qinghai and Hetian materials. In fact, this is not the case, because the pure Hetian jade seeds are generally water-lined. appear.

Second, jade crack

The jade crack in Hetian jade is actually the crack in Hetian jade. The crack in Hetian jade is an Achilles heel that directly affects the quality and value of jade and its value. Jade cracks are the cuts or reflections that we usually see in the presence of jade, and the length of the crack is divided. Jade cracks may be caused by human bumps or falls, or they may be caused by geological vibration or free rolling during the process of natural formation.

Third, stone tendons

In the process of forming Hetian jade, it is usually eroded by the outside world. For jade materials with loose texture, it is more susceptible to erosion, and then it will slowly form squats, squats or cavities. The hard jade material of jade is not easily corroded, but the net shape of the net is formed in the flesh, which is the "stone rib" of jade.

The structure and appearance of stone ribs and water lines in jade are completely different. From the appearance point of view, the water line is a hollow line, and has a transparent feeling, which is straight and elongated; and the stone ribs appear to be a kind of cotton thread distributed inside the jade, often spiraling. The stone ribs are generally formed because the internal components of the jade differ from the surrounding components, and the stone ribs and cracks are also different. The places where the stone ribs are distributed are not easily cracked like cracks.

Dear friends, I believe that after reading it, you will have a certain understanding of Hetian Yuzhong’s “Waterline”, “Jade Crack” and “Shijin”. When you buy Hetianyu, you must recognize these situations. !
