Yingtan topaz, also known as "Jindanyu", is named for its yellow color like gold. Yingtan chalcopyrite is a mineral aggregate composed of chalcedony with technological value, which can contain clay minerals, limonite, hematite, iron, carbon, manganese oxide, sericite and so on. Yingtan yellow wax stone has a fine structure, which is mainly composed of ultramicrocrystalline structure and microcrystalline structure. The hardness is 6.5 ~ 7.5. Yingtan has jade-grade gold wax, red wax, purple wax, white wax, yellow wax, green wax and black wax, and gem-grade ice species include Bing Huang, red ice, Bai Bing and purple ice.
Among the yellow wax stones in yingtan, jade-grade gold wax and gem-grade Bing Huang are the most precious and rare.
Yingtan yellow wax stone story; (Origin of Gold) According to folklore, when the first generation of Zhang Daoling lived in Longhu Mountain, Yingtan City, Jiangxi Province, the redundant alchemy liquid was poured at the foot of Longhu Mountain by Taoist priests, and the surrounding rivers flowed into the nearby rivers over time, turning golden yellow. Most of the wax stones stored under the river bed turn yellow because they are soaked in elixir for a long time. Later, people named them yellow wax stones, and many people called them "immortal jade".
Introduction of "Bing Huang"; "Bing Huang" is the "gem light" in the yellow wax stone, and its color, luster and hardness are close to gems. At the same time, it is accompanied by fluorescence under the light. Very rare. Bing Huang is a magical and rich symbol in the yellow wax stone. Huang Bing's sculptures are as precious as jade and other jewels. She exudes a new kind of jewelry, bright but not dazzling, with a restrained style. This new look is in line with the aesthetics of the present people, just like the highly cultivated temperament of "rich but not dazzling" and "beautiful but not demon". Bing Huang's charm is believed to conquer the eyes of all thoughtful and tasteful people. What she brings us is not only the enjoyment of beauty, but also the promotion of thought.
Guangxi Hezhou jade
Jade germplasm in Hezhou, Guangxi is very rare. Among them, chicken blood wax jelly, multicolored wax jelly, litchi wax jelly, peach wax jelly, green wax jelly and red, yellow, yellow and floating red color jelly are only available in Hezhou, and the output is scarce, so they are precious. Among the wax stones in Marie Laure Gigon, chicken blood wax jelly, multicolored wax jelly, litchi wax jelly, peach wax jelly, blue wax jelly and red, yellow, yellow and floating red wax jelly are only available in Hezhou, and the output is scarce, so they are precious.
Guangdong Taishan stone
Mainly produced in Naqin, bei dou zhen, Taishan, Guangdong. Due to the frequent geothermal movement in the South China Sea during the Cretaceous dinosaur era hundreds of millions of years ago, magma and lava erupted and flowed to cracks in rocks. In the flow, they blend with rocks and topsoil, absorb the aura of heaven and earth, and gather the brilliance of the sun and the moon, forming another precious stone species in China today-taishan jade. Taishan jade is mainly composed of Jishi, with a small amount of limonite, hematite, a small amount of muscovite and chlorite. The Mohs hardness is 6-7 after analysis and inspection by the Jewelry and Jade Identification Center of Guangdong Academy of Geological Sciences.
The investment value of taishan jade
From 1996, the total output of seed materials in taishan jade is 150-200 tons, the buried materials are about 100- 150 tons, the semi-landscape materials are about 200-250 tons, the mountain materials are about 300 tons, and the bay materials are about 50 tons. The total exploitation of various jade materials is about 800-950 tons, but less than half of them can be carved, and the first-class jade materials are only about 100-200 tons.
Unexploited jade materials are mainly mountain materials and bay materials. Mining mountain materials requires digging, but the degree of digging and digging is very different between taishan jade and Shoushan stone. Because the dikes in taishan jade are relatively small, the widest specification is only 350cm, and the smallest is only 3-5cm. Buried more than ten meters deep, it becomes smaller and smaller, and it is basically useless to dig down. According to the occurrence, it is estimated that the unexploited jade material is about 1000 tons, all of which are concentrated in Sanshiwan, Sanjiashui and Ziluo Mountain. Compared with Shoushan stone, the yield is less than 1% of Shoushan stone. Compared with Hetian jade, the output of taishan jade is even rarer and more precious.
Compared with the total, the reserves of taishan jade are about 1% of Shoushan stone,11000 of Hetian jade and1/0000 of xiuyan jade. How is this data calculated? According to the digital records shown in Gemstone Resources in China, from the Tang Dynasty to modern times, the total mining amount of Hetian jade was close to 10,000 tons. During the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, as much as 15 tons of jade was transported to the Forbidden City in Beijing every year. In Kunlun Mountain and Altun Mountain, more than 20 mineral deposits have been discovered and mined, and the unexploited Hetian jade reserves reach 30 tons. Mineralizable stone carvings can reach several tons. Xiuyan jade, which was selected as the national stone, has an amazing output and a reserve of 100 million tons. One large xiuyan jade is 210m long and 28m thick, and the exploration depth reaches 214m. It is a stratabound metamorphic hydrothermal metasomatic deposit with an annual output of tens of thousands of tons under protective development conditions.
To say that jade species are scarce, it should be divided into two parts; Hetian jade mountain is rich in yield, but there are few natural "red and yellow skin shells" of sheep fat seed materials. There are also few varieties of Shoushan stone, such as Tianhuang, wormwood leaf green and crystal jelly. The output of jadeite is similar to that of Hetian jade, but it belongs to various color inlays, but there are few varieties of "Gaoqing" and "Jingying", which shows its value.
Compared with other famous jade species, taishan jade's reserves are very scarce. The yield of medium and high quality seed jade in taishan jade is equivalent to that of Tianhuang. It is an indisputable fact that Taishan seed jade is much less than Hetian jade, and it is a rare thing. The yellow wax stone in this area is one of the jade-grade stones, commonly known as "Huang Longyu". Its main component is silicified andesite or sandstone, which contains iron and is timely. It is named for its jade texture and yellow luster on the stone surface. Mainly produced in Yunnan, China, it enjoys the title of Lingnan Stone.
In Yunnan and other places, the yellow wax stone was once heated up in the market, and many investors and related experts went south one after another to buy and sell Yunnan yellow wax stone as an investment, for fear of missing this opportunity. In 2007, at the China (Kunming) ASEAN Stone Culture Expo, Yunnan yellow wax stone became the highlight of the Expo, and more than 200 exhibits were selected. According to a random survey by the organizer, the daily transaction volume of a single booth is about 200,000-300,000 yuan. Due to the strong popularity and unprecedented activity of the transaction, the organizer also set the date of the second ASEAN Stone Culture Expo in July in advance. Among all the standard booths that have been set, 60% to 70% of the merchants aim at Yunnan yellow wax stone, and many merchants have formed an exhibition group focusing on the origin of Yunnan yellow wax stone in Longling County, Baoshan City, which shows the special position of Yunnan yellow wax stone in today's strange stone collection. Dandong City, Liaoning Province is located in the east of the Yellow Sea, facing North Korea across the river, with beautiful scenery and pleasant climate. Kuandian county, located in the north of Dandong city, has a volcanic group and more than a dozen craters, which are rich in mineral resources. There are gold mines, copper mines, molybdenum mines, lead mines, iron mines, zinc mines, boron mines and magnesium mines. Gem minerals include sapphire, amethyst, zircon, garnet, olivine, beryl, diopside, feldspar, pyrite, magnetite, sphalerite, galena, calcite and fluorite. In Kuandian county, a large number of high-quality yellow wax stones were found. These yellow wax stones come in different shapes and sizes, ranging from a few tons to the size of eggs. The colors are yellow, red, black and gray. Most of them are produced by frozen wax and crystal wax. Small pieces of wax stone are thick, and the inside is light yellow and translucent, which is an excellent raw material for carving. Great yellow wax stone can be used as a first-class ornamental stone and garden stone because of its good quality and full color.
First, bright and natural beauty. Dandong wax stone is rich in color and heavy in tone. It is a kind of siliceous rock with stable structure, and its appearance has been exposed to nature for a long time, so its color is very stable, and it is natural, not artificially dyed. Coupled with the oily luster, the color is bright and bright, but it is not dazzling. It is a true, soft and amiable, noble and graceful but not vulgar color beauty.
Second, moist and clean texture. Pyrophyllite in Dandong is a kind of crystalline quartzite with Mohs hardness of 7 degrees, which is the same as jadeite. The texture is transparent or translucent, with glass and grease luster, insoluble, almost the same as jade. Someone compared the real suet jade with Dandong yellow wax stone, and the competition was similar. Jade's "pure connotation" and "heavy but not moving" character can be reflected in Dandong yellow wax stone, which is full of jade chaos. Top-grade Dandong wax stone is moist and greasy, and Ivylinna Lee is bright in color, dense in texture, full of luster, quite interesting and disturbing. The longer you play, the more moist you feel, and the more charming your luster and color are.
Third, the form of sincerity and fluency. Dandong wax stone has stable chemical properties and is generally not afraid of acid and alkali corrosion. The stone body is as hard as jade. Although it has gone through many hardships, it is still difficult to give birth to a graceful appearance. Wax stone produced in riverbed is smooth in appearance and soft in outline, while wax stone produced in the depths of floodplain or underground of ancient river channel is not as smooth as washed by water, but it has few hard edges and corners, which is different from the appearance of strange stone dominated by wrinkled sword trees, giving people a kind and rich feeling of living in Fiona Fang.
Dandong wax stone has not only ornamental value, but also scientific research value, economic value and collection value. Quzhou yellow wax stone is entering and leaving the stone world with a low-key attitude. Its novel variety, excellent texture and beautiful appearance are its advantages, and it is collected by fans. So far, many national exhibitions of yellow wax stone have been successfully held, and some stone carving, stone carving and yellow wax stone exhibition halls have gradually appeared in the local area.
Quzhou yellow wax stone is divided into Longyou stone and Huakai stone. , each has its own merits, and is regarded as the top grade by stone merchants all over the country. Gannan is the world's tungsten capital and rare earth kingdom. The mineral elements here are very rich, with bright colors, large reserves, high quality and high taste, including crystal wax, scrub wax, fine wax, frozen wax and rubber wax.
Since its discovery in 2008, five ore sources have been known: 1. The suburbs of Xingguo County; 2. Wuyun and Shuixi in Ganxian County; 3. Xunwu County Three Standards; 4. Ancient Pavilion in Chongyi County; 5. Sannan Taojiang River and other places gather in Ganjiang River, washed by water and sand at the top of waxwork area, and rushed to Ji 'an and Zhangshu City basins, with a total length of nearly a thousand miles. Along the way, the riverbed emerges, and the first-class aphanitic seed jade of yellow wax stone is highly sought after by wax stone lovers in surrounding provinces and cities. On June 8th, 2065438 +0 1, February, 65438+65438, five folk promoters opened a street in Huangwaxi on Wuzhou Avenue in zhanggong district, Ganzhou City every Sunday morning, which became stable and mature, and carving groups began to gather and invest in the development of jade carving industry.
