It is good that jadeite can reach waxy species, but some waxy jadeites contain a lot of cotton, which looks like stones, that is, the so-called jadeite stone. Some people think that waxy jadeite is worthless after seeing the waxy jadeite, but in fact they don't fully understand waxy jadeite. Good waxy jadeite is very expensive, especially the transparent waxy jadeite.
Wax seed is a term in the jewelry and jade market. Waxy seed refers to the fineness of jadeite, and species refers to the texture of jadeite material.
Waxy can be said to be sticky and muddy. Because its transparency is slightly lower than that of ice seeds, it is translucent. The key feature of waxy jadeite is just like its name, a word "waxy".
Generally speaking, glutinous rice feels a little semi-permeable like boiled glutinous rice soup.
Another example is bean seeds, just like mung beans lined up one by one.
There are also ice seeds, as crystal clear as ice.
About waxy bracelets, it may be because they are not as transparent as ice glass, so they will be rejected by everyone and feel bad.
Waxy jadeite is just in the middle of jadeite. The value of jadeite depends on the types of water color workers, and waxy jadeite has just passed the test in this respect. As for the specific value of goods, it depends on other aspects.
Waxy jadeite is opaque, but its texture is warm and soft, which is suitable for fine carving according to the color characteristics of jade materials, showing the exquisite carving technology. Fine waxy jadeite is usually magnificent, thick and full, beautifully carved, and has great appreciation and taste value.
Classification of waxy jadeite
1, waxy species
The internal structure is indistinguishable, and cotton is inside the structure. Such waxy jadeite often shows what people call stony because it is not transparent enough. Waxy seeds with good head can reach the level of ice seeds. In order to distinguish ordinary waxy seeds, this is also called ice seed melting.
Wax represents a transition. "Waxy" is often more-ice seeds are "waxy". Generally, ice seeds have high transparency, while waxy ice seeds become blurred and their transparency decreases, but they are more transparent than pure waxy seeds.
2. Waxy ice seeds
Also known as "ice waxy seeds", it is a concept that has only emerged in recent years, but at least before 10, ice waxy seeds and waxy seeds were clearly distinguished. Only with the passage of time, the resources of ice seeds are becoming more and more scarce, and "planting water" is second only to ice seeds.
Waxy jadeite is between water and meat, which is the transition of two varieties. Therefore, it is called ice waxy species. Generally speaking, its transparency is better than that of waxy seeds, but it is a little worse than that of ice seeds. It looks fluorescent, but it is not as good as ice seeds, but the foundation is more delicate and clear than traditional waxy seeds.
The internal structure of waxy ice seeds is vague and incomprehensible, especially the structure of cotton. Waxy ice seeds with good water head can reach the level of ice seeds, but sometimes they are also called melting ice seeds because they can better identify ordinary waxy ice seeds.
The characteristic of waxy ice jadeite is that its transparency is slightly lower than that of ice, giving people a turbid appearance, which is not as good as glutinous rice soup and belongs to translucent classification.
3. Exquisite waxy seeds
"Fine" refers to the fine texture of jadeite particles and crystals, and its definition tends to be "fineness". In terms of transparency, fine wax seeds may be translucent or opaque, so fine wax seeds may overlap with wax ice seeds.
Selection of waxy jadeite
When buying waxy jadeite, you need to pay special attention to the fineness and head of the texture. Good waxy jadeite is dense, moist and clean, and its color and background color are integrated, refreshing and elegant, and it has a gentleman's demeanor of "being as warm as jade" when worn.
If some green, blue-green and other colors of "flowers" can float on wax jade bracelets, then this bracelet is called "green flowers float on water" or "blue flowers float on water" in the industry, and the price of jade bracelets is higher, which is more suitable for the consumption level of the public. If the bracelet of "floating flowers in the water" is not cracked, then it can also enter the collector's field of vision.
Extended data
Wax seed is a term in jewelry industry. Waxy refers to the fineness of jadeite, and species refers to the texture of jadeite. Fine jadeite refers to the older variety or age, and the jadeite texture is rough and loose, which is called tender.
Because jadeite jade is a combination of polycrystals, it can be divided into glass, ice, egg white, wax and beans. Glass seeds are the best, beans below are not desirable, and fine glutinous seeds above are good. B goods are mostly made of materials below coarse beans.
Emerald also needs a rest.
Wash jadeite regularly: soak it in clear water for 30 minutes. If the surface becomes dirty due to long-term wear, gently scrub the jade with a small soft brush after soaking. In this way, it is difficult for corrosive substances to exist on the surface of jadeite for a long time to damage it, and at the same time, it can make up for the "moisture" lost by jadeite in high temperature in summer or when you wash mulberry.
It is necessary to wash it once a month. In the hot south, take a bath every day. Be careful, if you like to take a hot bath, take off your beloved Cui Cui. You can also use shower gel when taking a bath.
In addition: every time you clean, you should pay attention to whether the hanging rope is worn or not and whether the inlaid ornaments are loose, so that you can find out the maintenance in time and send it back to the store for maintenance to avoid the loss of jadeite caused by the broken hanging rope and loose inlay.
