Is topaz valuable?
Yellow jadeite is one of the five color systems of jadeite. Although yellow jade is not as full of vigor and vitality as green jade, nor as mysterious and noble as violet, the high-quality yellow jade also gives people a sense of solemnity and elegance. Therefore, not only the green jadeite with good water quality is sought after by people, but also the golden yellow jadeite with translucent color is a very precious first-class jadeite.
As far as the price of yellow jade is concerned, the color is pure, the variety is good and the natural price is high. Because most yellow jadeites are of poor quality, it is very rare to have good color. At present, the common yellow jadeite in the market is generally loose in structure and not very transparent. If you see bright yellow jade with considerable transparency during the purchase process, you need to be careful that it is artificially processed. Not to mention the output of this fine product in yellow jade, if it is true, its market value is also very high.
How to identify yellow jadeite
High-quality yellow jade is very scarce, and natural high-quality yellow jade is called golden jade in the industry. Since ancient times, China has always attached importance to red and yellow. "White Tiger Tong Yinuo." Record: yellow, neutral color, natural and natural, never easy. In ancient times, the emperors of the 95 th and 95 th dynasties respected yellow as a positive color, and the dragon robes they wore were also called yellow robes. Yellow jade, orange or honey color, is not only beautiful and attractive, but also shows the noble spirit of the vast soup since ancient times. Therefore, the yellow jadeite with high quality and good water quality is of great collection value.
Because of this, there are various fake yellow jadeites with similar properties to yellow jadeite in the collection market today. How to distinguish authenticity has become a difficult problem.
To learn to recognize, we must first understand its distinctive recognition characteristics.
One is emerald. Emerald refers to the crystal face of jadeite, which will show flake, needle or star flash under light. The insiders call these flashes mosquito wings or fly wings. Generally, yellow jadeite has obvious jadeite color, and the glass has good gloss, so it will have a crisp and pleasant sound when tapped lightly.
The second is the orange peel effect. The surface of yellow jadeite will be as uneven as orange peel, which is caused by the different arrangement directions of jadeite particles. However, if the surface of jadeite is cracked or uneven, it will be treated with wax immersion, which can also improve the luster of jadeite.
The third is the luster of jade. Ordinary yellow jadeite is finely made and polished. Due to the compactness of jadeite, the surface of jadeite is very smooth and usually presents a glassy luster. And it's hard, so scraping the surface with a knife won't cause scratches.
Secondly, we also need to know the characteristics of common gems similar to yellow jadeite:
1, yellow nephrite. Nephrite, also called Hetian jade, is a traditional jade in China. Yellow nephrite has low price and large output, and is often used as jadeite. However, yellow nephrite has no orange peel effect, so it can be observed whether its surface is really jadeite.
2, yellow agate. Agate is a chalcedony mineral with waxy luster, lower relative density than jadeite, and often has obvious color bands.
3. Huang Longyu. Huang Longyu is a new kind of beautiful jade in jade carving industry, formerly known as yellow wax stone. Because it is mainly yellow, it is produced in Longling, hence the name Huang Longyu. The surface of Huang Longyu has no emerald and orange peel effect, but it has oily luster.
Pure yellow jadeite is of great value in jewelry industry. If you meet topaz with bright color, good water head and low price when you buy topaz, you'd better pay more attention, because it is probably artificially processed.
Of course, if you are a novice, you'd better go to a regular shopping mall or a regular online store to buy yellow jade.
