This is what we usually call fineness. In fact, "fineness" should be a very high index. There are two main aspects of fineness: one is the size and uniformity of crystal particles, and the other is the fineness of structure, that is, the fineness and uniformity of short cloud flocs. Hetian jade seed jade, usually with high fineness, is also moist, giving people a very comfortable and playful feeling.
oiliness
Oiliness is an important characteristic of seed material, that is, it has an oily feeling. Some materials look thin, but they are dry and not oily. Some materials are a greasy pimple at first glance, which makes people want to play with them in their hands.
Understanding of oiliness can be divided into two aspects. One is visual oiliness, that is, materials with strong oily luster, soft luster and strong oily feeling look very textured. Second, the feeling of oiliness. A good seed material should be like solidified fat, giving people the feeling of solidified animal fat.
Rouge and powder
Fat powder is often mentioned in seed material. Fat and powder are two concepts. Fatty, generally refers to the degree of moistening and oiliness, just a kind of hand feeling, and you can't really touch the oil to cook. Powder is the texture, a kind of thick and dignified feeling. For example, thick milk is more textured than boiled water because of its powder (tiny solid suspended particles).
Six Fake Means of Hetian Jade Seed Material
Mountain materials pass off as seed materials.
Hetian jade is divided into mountain material, landscape material and seed material. Seed material is favored by collectors because of its mellow and pure characteristics, so it has the highest value. Because of this, counterfeiters took a fancy to this point, so they cut and carved angular mountain materials or streams into imitation seed materials and imitated them into seed materials. The essence of this kind of fake is hetian jade, and its meat quality and luster are better than ordinary fakes. If you add fake skin, it's true enough.

Grinding, Polishing and Imitation of Hetian Jade
Some vendors use jade materials from various places of origin instead of Hetian jade, for example, use mountain materials, use machines to turn over sand and smooth, and then carry out jade plates. Pan Yu is also divided into "Allegro" and "Adagio". "Fast food" is a 24-hour manual wiping, polishing, throwing luster. "Adagio" is worn on the body, which makes jade shine after years of contact with the body. "Some counterfeiters will also make pores for jade, but the fake pores are neat and unnatural."
