Reasons for collecting coral jade:
Reason 1: The most common jade is mineral jade, while coral jade is Ordovician marine coral. After extinction, it was buried by volcanic ash, isolated from the air, avoided oxidation and corrosion, and slowly petrified. Later, due to the crustal movement under high temperature and high pressure, it changed color with various metal elements nearby, resulting in beautiful coral jade of various colors. The evolution mechanism of coral stone into coral fossil jade has gone through a long and complicated process that people can't imagine. Coral fossil is the only creature in jade jewelry and the only "animal gem" in the world.
Reason 2: Coral fossil jade is the only creature in jewelry for hundreds of millions of years. It is beautiful, shiny, crystal clear and warm. Coral jade jewelry is a symbol of good fortune, which has the functions of beauty and health care, promoting blood circulation and improving eyesight, and exorcising evil spirits. Wearing coral jade carving jewelry can promote blood circulation, so it can be called an observation station of human essence, qi and spirit. The collection of red coral fossils, jade and strange stones is the whole treasure of Tongling Town House. For hundreds of millions of years, no matter what the wind and waves are, it can bend and stretch and stand firm. It takes a thousand years to cultivate beauty, and a hundred million years to cast coral jade. Therefore, coral fossil jade has become a unique treasure in people's minds.
Reason 3: Coral fossil jade is regarded as a precious gem in Indian totem worship carving in China, Tibet and the American continent, and "red gold" as mentioned by the ancient Romans is regarded as one of the "seven treasures" in Buddhist scriptures; Coral stone has been collected by the Royal Jewellery Cultural Center since the Ming Dynasty. The commodity value of those finely crafted coral stones and coral fossil jade handicrafts with different styles is increasing day by day in the modern antique market. At auctions held in various places, the transaction price of coral stones is often surprisingly high. Of course, its non-renewable nature is the reason why coral fossil jade is increasingly precious. Due to the scarcity of producing areas, it is extremely difficult to find them, so the prices of coral stones and red coral fossil jade are rising year by year. Because coral stone and red coral fossil jade are extremely rare, they have great potential for appreciation in the market, and the appreciation is very rapid. More and more investors have turned their attention to this spiritual natural gem. It can be predicted that coral fossil jade has become a dark horse in the collection field because of its scarcity and non-renewability, with huge appreciation space and unlimited potential.
Reason 4: More than 400 years ago, the medical master Mr. Li Shizhen recorded in the classic Compendium of Materia Medica that corals have: "eyesight, tranquilization and calming the heart. Used for blindness, epilepsy and ugly nose towels. " The effect is equivalent. According to relevant information, coral stone has the functions of stopping vomiting, diarrhea, hemostasis, treating lumbago, convulsion, clearing away heat and toxic materials, resolving phlegm and relieving cough, sweating and diuresis. Coral stone is mainly composed of calcium carbonate, which can be turned into calcium phosphate similar to human bone after treatment, so doctors use it to repair human bone. Surprisingly, human new blood vessels can grow together with osteoblasts in the pores of coral stones, so that the fractured parts can quickly return to normal. Through further research, Americans baked coral stone into osteogenic ore, and added glass fiber reinforced polymer to improve its strength, so that it can not only be used for bone bonding, but also directly replace small bones or small bones, and can also be used to "weld" the spine.
Reason 5: Wu Shengkai, director of Taiwan Province Jewelry Association and director of Korean Taiwanese Gemmology Association, points out that coral jade can be traced back to calcified coral stones formed in Paleozoic, Mesozoic and Cenozoic from 250 million to 300 million years ago. Later, due to the crustal movement and volcanic eruption, there was a lot of volcanic activity on the seabed, which provided a lot of volcanic ash, which was rich in a certain number of macro elements (such as colored elements such as iron, copper and manganese and colorless elements such as magnesium). If the main element absorbed by coral in the petrochemical process was iron, the color of coral would be red. If magnesium is the main element to absorb a small amount of iron, the color of coral stone will be pink or white; If the main element absorbed is magnesium and there are almost no other impurities, then the color of coral stone may be white, copper is green and manganese is black; There are also orange and orange-red, and the main colors are red, black, yellow, green, blue and purple, which are called "multicolored gems".
Reason 6: Hetian jade, emerald, two kinds of famous jade. Because of its small origin and small reserves, it has been mined since ancient times. Who can say that the Hetian jade and jadeite you bought now are very good? Coupled with the large-scale counterfeiting of Hetian jade and jadeite, the so-called A goods are just some general varieties. Instead of buying a fake one like others, it is better to buy a beautiful coral jade ornament. Why? Because she is really ... and, unlike ordinary jewelry such as gold and jade, coral jade has become the biggest potential stock in the jewelry market because of its rarity, because coral jade is not as hot as jade and hetian jade, and its resources are still in the early stage of development, which is definitely a good opportunity for collection and investment.
