Hetian Yu’s several ways to play

Nowadays, there are more and more people who like Hetian jade, and the rules of play are different. Among the jade friends I know, there are a lot of people who like the beautiful skin color, love oily jade, and have the pursuit of famous artists. So, what exactly does Hetian jade play?

Play meat: jade is king

Hetian Yu is known as Wen Yuen. Although the number of Hetian jades that really reaches the level of suet is small, it does not affect people’s pursuit of cleanliness and moisturizing of jade. If there is still a certain degree of whiteness, it will be even better. This is exactly the reason why many players often talk about the term “exquisite jade with oily texture, light and structureless”. It is also the black stone, gray leather, etc. The tremolite jade produced in Russia is also received by domestic players. The main reason sought after.

There are also many players who do not play with non-seed material, and think that even the best mountain material can not match the jade material of the seed material. In fact, nowadays, high-quality seeds in the market are rare and occasionally appear to be very expensive. The quality of good mountain jade is not worse than that of seeds, even if it is not Hetian but Qinghai or Russia. From the point of view of jade alone, the “mix and match” of the mountain seed material is also a choice for desperation.

Play skin: beautiful

The seeds with beautiful skin color are undoubtedly one of the goals that the jade lovers are struggling to pursue. Yu Xi “good skin without good meat”, but as long as the jade quality is decent, plus a piece of mink skin, the value is therefore greatly increased, selling a high price is almost inevitable.

In the formation process, the seed material is in contact with the surrounding minerals and is affected. It will form skin colors and even patterns of different colors, and some of them will also constitute landscapes or patterns like animals and animals. If the value of a single-colored seed material is relatively limited, the value of tri-color or even multi-colored seed material will soar as a result of the diversity of colors. If there is a vivid image and scenery on it, the value will be incalculable. I once saw a piece of green and white jade seed weighing about three kilograms. Because there are three skin colors, plus the jade color itself, it was affixed with a four-color jade label and opened a high price of 3 million yuan.

Play type: entertain yourself

Hetian jade also has different shapes and strange stones. Some strange and vivid primitive stones have many fans rushing even if they are coarse and sparse. If the jade is a little better, less chapped or chapped itself can add color to the whole piece of jade, and the color is more pleasing to the eye, which is undoubtedly the best in the eyes of the players. Of course, no matter what kind of natural shape or crack, you need to exert your imagination, and when you appreciate it, you will have a beautiful sense of pleasure. This is the ultimate pursuit of playing and cracking.

Playwork: Masters First

The so-called play, generally refers to the player's appreciation of the jade jade carving, rather than to their own carving. Although good works, especially master works, are relatively elegant in terms of choice of materials, sculpture, and polishing, they are indeed very fragile, but the price will make most jade lovers discouraged: first-class masters carved ornaments, pieces, big brands, etc. Compared with the atmospheric jade pieces, the prices are almost always over a million yuan. Even if it is the works of some second-line master studios, it is not the masters who are hands-on. The processing fee is also between 500 yuan and 1,000 yuan per gram of the original stone weight before processing. Between the processing of 150 grams and 600 yuan per gram for a piece, the single processing fee would be 90,000 yuan, which is still without considering the cost of rough stone. And how can you not get too bad about the material that you gave to a master or master studio? After completing the bills, at least two or three hundred thousand more.

Because of this, some small players have to navigate the finished product market. As long as they see that they like it better, the material and carving work are still decent, and the price is not too far off the mark, they will cut the price and accept it—although the master is supreme, But why shouldn’t the bulging of the wallet be considered?

Cutting: Feeling of heartbeat

Gambling stones, cutting materials, and simple processing... This is almost a “one-stop operation” of playing gambling stone and opening jade friends. Nowadays, Hetian jade's "good-looking" material is hard to find, and most of the material's skin is artificially stained. It is difficult to judge what the jade is really like. The first step in betting stone is to open the material, and the success or failure will be in this moment. I also gambling on several pieces of rough stone, some of which were thrown directly into the trash bin after cutting, some of which rose sharply after cutting, and profited after cutting and dyeing a dyed rough stone from the Internet and making it into a bracelet. Times. The most successful gambling stone case I have ever seen is Xiao Zeng of the Antique City, a piece of material costing less than 10,000 yuan. He was taken away with 1.2 million yuan after he was cut, leaving him with an economically hard time. Became a millionaire.

In addition to luck, betting and cutting materials are more important than eye testing and economic strength. Although there is a gambling component in it, there is also a lot of knowledge and skills that can help the gambling player to improve the odds. Of course, the mentality of gambling stones is also very important. If the eyesight is not enough, the strength is not good, and there is no good mentality to dare to withstand failure. It is better to leave games such as gambling and stone cutting.
