Emerald is very rich in color, in addition to the noble imperial green, the red style of red jade is very much in line with our Chinese aesthetic, so it is also popular in the market. But many friends have a question about red jade, whether it is natural or red.
First of all, let's understand the color formation of red jade. The color of the red emerald is not the primary color of the jadeite mineral crystal, but the secondary color formed by the iron element entering the gap between the jadeite crystals. In fact, 80% of the red jade on the market is made of burning red, and even the red jade worth tens of millions of dollars may also be burned red, and the color of the jadeite will be more intense after burning red.
After burning red, the red jade will form a dry, waterless red jade in everyone's mind, but this is not the case. Even a red jade with good seed water may be burned red, and the red color of red jade has nothing to do with planting water.
In fact, burning red is a kind of jadeite process, burning red is the color, there is no impact on the planting water and internal structure, even the cotton, cracks and other impurities in the red jade will not be burned off, only the color is changed.
If the internal impurities are burned off, thereby changing the internal structure, then this is a means of counterfeiting, the certificate issued is to process the jadeite, and the red-hot jadeite is issued with natural A-goods jadeite. Many merchants claim that their red jade is natural jadeite, and there is nothing wrong with it. Wearing it is also not harmful to the body.
Of course, there are also natural red emeralds, sotheby's auction house once auctioned a very good bright red red jade carving, the price of up to 3.8 million Hong Kong dollars, it can be seen that the high quality of the red jade, is still very valuable. The general red jade is burned red, even if tens of millions of it is possible, we must remember that the red only changes the color, will not change other characteristics.
For everyone to hear the word burning red, they all feel that it is a fake, and b goods, C goods are confused. In fact, these are two different concepts. Counterfeiting is required to pickle, boil wax, color, which is a comprehensive crackdown on jadeite, direct destruction of the internal structure. Burning red is a process in jadeite, and this process is also a test for the technology of the processing master, not just counterfeiting.
So for everyone to solve the misunderstanding of burning red jadeite, don't hear the jadeite burning red, immediately resist, the red jade color after burning red is very beautiful, plus its own water, the price will not be low.
