This piece of rough material was cut in half by Yang Jing according to the princess's order. After being cut open, the cross-section showed an extremely strange situation.
The cross-sections of the two pieces of wool material that were cut in half were all filled with cotton. These strips of cotton were intertwined with each other, making the cotton on the two cross-sections look like two fishing nets.
Before cutting a piece of jadeite, there are many factors to determine whether there is jade in the rough material, such as skin, moss, python belt, cracks, etc.
A master of gambling on stones can judge the quality of a piece of material by the external performance of a piece of covered material. The external performance of a rough material is closely related to the internal jade quality, so there are many ways to gamble on stones. For example, there are betting on skin, betting on moss, betting on cracks, and betting on fog...
But no matter what you bet on, once the material is cut, there are only a few factors that can affect the quality of the jade.
Cracks and cotton are the two factors that biggest affect jade quality.
Needless to say, cracks are a killer of jade. In the public auctions of jade in Myanmar or China, you can often see a piece of material cut open, with excellent water quality and color, and a large size, but the jade is covered with a large number of cracks, causing a piece of material that could originally be made into a bracelet to become a piece of broken material that can't even make a few ring faces, and the value of the jade is naturally greatly reduced.
Another situation is that there is cotton.
Cotton in jade is often encountered. This thing is the translucent or slightly transparent white mineral in the form of patches, stripes, filaments, and ripples inside the jade.
Cotton and fog are different. The difference between the two is as great as the difference between heaven and earth.
The mist of jade refers to a semi-oxidized slightly weathered jadeite between the skin and the jade flesh. In fact, cotton is also a part of jade, which is a transition zone from the weathered shell to the unweathered jade flesh.
Fog has many colors. White fog is like white garlic skin, which is a relatively pure jadeite rock, indicating that the iron content is not high, and may appear in pure green and high green. White fog is generally in white salt sand skin; the flesh color under yellow fog may be bluish; the jade flesh of black fog is often gray, and may also appear in high green; the jade flesh of red fog is generally gray.
The color and existence of fog can indicate the amount of impurities inside the jade, whether it is old or new, the quality of its transparency, and the cleanliness of its interior, etc. But it cannot indicate whether there is green inside, and has nothing to do with green.
But what is certain is that most of the rough materials with fog will be jadeite. So, fog is a good thing in the eyes of stone gamblers.
But cotton is different. It is the same as cracks and can cause devastating damage to the jade flesh of jade. Once cotton penetrates into the jade flesh, the result is almost the same as cracks.
Therefore, once there are many cottons intertwined in a piece of jade, it is almost a death sentence for the material.
The same is true for this piece of material that was cut in half, both sections are filled with dense cotton.
Normally, this piece of material could be thrown away if there were so many cottons. However, in the gaps between the "fishing nets" made of these cottons, there were faintly visible clumps of purple jade flesh.
Yang Jing's cutting was extremely skillful, directly avoiding all the purple jade flesh, but also leaving about twenty clumps of purple jade flesh the size of pigeon eggs vaguely visible.
Yang Jing dared to swear that he really didn't use his skills to cheat. He brought his wife and uncle here to relax today, and his wife's happiness came first. It's just a piece of blind material, nothing special. Even if this piece of material contains glass-type imperial green and was cut in half by his knife, what can it do?
My buddy has a lot of old mine glass types, so this one is not a big deal. Besides, even if it is cut in half, the worst that can happen is that I won’t make bracelets. I can carve pendants and ring faces myself. What’s the big deal?
But this cut was more stable, accurate and ruthless than one I could make using my skills. My luck was incredible.
Gege also noticed those purple jade balls. She pulled Yang Jing closer and pointed at one of the faintly visible purple jade balls and asked, "Yang Jing, what is this thing? Why does it look like a bunch of hazy eyes?"
When Gege said this, the uncle and Xu Jianmin were immediately stunned. The uncle pushed Gege aside and shone a strong flashlight on it. After a long time, he looked up and said, "Gege, how did you get so lucky? You asked Xiaojing to cut it with this knife, and it actually cut out the legendary 'purple eyes'! And looking at the color, it is clearly the finest pink and purple! Wow, this is incredible, incredible!"
Yang Jing was stunned for a moment, then he said happily: "Uncle, are they really purple eyes? Or pink and purple?"
"Well, it should be, but we have to take it out to find out. If it is really a purple eye, then considering the size of this piece of material, there must be thirty or forty purple eyes the size of pigeon eggs in it? If the color is better, the value of this piece of material is beyond description, no worse than the red jadeite I just unearthed!"
"Purple eyes? What is that? But it sounds like something special just from the name." Gege asked in a low voice.
Yang Jing gave Gege some scientific knowledge, "Wife, this purple eye is actually a kind of violet jade. Because most of them are round bead-shaped jade, which looks like eyes, they are also called purple-eyed jade. This kind of violet jade is named because its color is very similar to violet flowers. The jewelry industry calls violet "Chun" or "Spring". According to the color, it can be divided into red spring, purple spring and blue spring. The jade industry divides the purple in jade into pink purple, eggplant purple and blue purple according to the different shades of purple. Pink purple usually has a finer texture and better transparency, followed by eggplant purple, and blue purple is generally coarser in texture and can also be called purple beans."
