Jade cotton is usually white, but not all cotton will reduce the quality of jade, depending on the size, shape and thickness of cotton. If cotton is formed by internal structure or impurities, it will give people a muddy feeling and greatly reduce the quality of jade.
However, some jadeites are colored cotton. If the cotton inside is similar to a flower shape, it looks vivid, the lines are soft and the colors are even and bright, but it adds a different aesthetic feeling to jadeite visually, and it appears mostly in ice seeds or waxy jadeite, so the value of jadeite is relatively high.
Is the cotton wool of jade good?
The presence of cotton wool in jadeite is indeed a major feature of jadeite, especially the ice jadeite, and cotton wool can be regarded as one of its characteristics. It is a common phenomenon that there are cotton wadding or flocculent bands in ice jadeite. Just because jade has a lot of cotton wool doesn't mean jade is not good. For example, the wooden fish in Kethleen is famous for its white cotton wool inside. Kethleen's cotton wool is also called stone flower, which is the embodiment of its value.
The cotton wool of jadeite is sometimes mistaken for cracks and fissures in jadeite, so it is also mistaken for defective jadeite. In fact, cotton wool is the result of crystal structure arrangement in jadeite, and its existence adds aesthetic feeling.
There is a kind of ice floating jade called snowflake cotton. Its most unique cotton wool structure, pure white and light, as soft as snowflakes, has become a part of jade structure. This kind of snowflake cotton, which can be clearly observed with the naked eye, has won the favor of the public because of its uniform distribution, beautiful appearance and rich artistic conception.
How good is the cotton wool in jade?
Cotton wool is an impurity in the jade bracelet, which will hinder the diffusion of color and affect the penetration effect of light. Generally speaking, it will be a little bit, filamentous, spherical, punctate and so on. Its main components are albite and nepheline. So, how did it come into being?
The original jadeite stone is often disturbed by external substances during its formation. However, some impurities have larger mineral particles, while others are smaller. They are either dispersed or aggregated. Therefore, when they gather together, they will form a piece of cotton wool.
If the mineral particles of impurities are dispersed, they will exist in the cracks of jadeite, and when they are big, they will form cotton wool. Such jade ornaments have poor visual perception, giving people a muddy feeling.
As we all know, the overall structure of glass jadeite is dense and delicate. However, in different parts, its structure will be somewhat different. When a part of the structure is loose, a gap will be formed inside, which is also a kind of absorbent cotton.
Therefore, in most cases, absorbent cotton will have a bad influence on jade bracelets. However, snowflake cotton is different. If it is matched with good planting water, it will greatly increase the price of jadeite. It is as lovely as snowflake.
Jade bracelets belong to natural jade, so it is normal to have cotton wool in them. Its quality should be comprehensively judged according to the quantity, shape and distribution of cotton wool. But cotton wool not only has a negative impact on Mu Na jade, but also makes people more obsessed with it.
In addition to absorbent cotton, color also has a great influence on jade bracelets. As the saying goes, if the color difference is one point, the price difference is ten times. Therefore, when we choose a bracelet, we should also carefully observe its color. Of course, the influence of planting water on the bracelet determines its market value and whether it can be used in the next level. Because a good jade bracelet needs water, color, size, carver and so on.
However, unlike other types of jewelry, there is no fixed measurement standard for jade bracelets, and the price will change because of the seller's preferences. For example, a buyer who likes green jade will be willing to pay a higher price because the color meets his preference. Moreover, China people's special feelings for jade make it have a broad market prospect.
