Hetian Yu fake and shoddy market

The price of Hetian jade skyrocketed over the years and rose to the point where he had to look up. With the shortage of resources and the drastic profits, some unscrupulous businessmen started the exploration of "artificial seed material" or even "artificial Hetian jade", and the Hetian jade market chaos...

Unless you are a familiar person, it is not easy to buy the mountains of Hetian jade, even if the yield of mountains is more than 10 times higher than that of the seeds. Why is this so? Informed people will tell you that many mountains are taken to "roll."

Rolling, that is, grinding the mountain material into a pebble shape, then coloring it and selling it as a seed. In the same quality, the price of the seed material is several times to dozens of times that of the mountain material. Although the roller dyeing requires a certain cost, it is insignificant relative to the possible profit. Of course, such dyeings are relatively low-grade, and slightly experienced buyers are not fooled into cheating. So, some advanced ones came.

Pores are one of the important basis for people to identify whether they are seeded or not. The ordinary rolling material has no pores, of course, but what happens when you use a sandblasting machine to spray it in a crazy way? If you do not observe it carefully with a magnifying glass, you can honestly sometimes be taken seriously. And not only can the seed material be “made” by sandblasting, but also the gobi material that the players love can be “sprayed” with coarser sand.

If the blasting material is not advanced, then there are more advanced tricks waiting for you.

This is what the bank calls "secondary", which is to add color to the real material. There are two reasons for coloring: First, the original skin color is not bright enough, it is difficult to sell high prices; Second, the quality of jade is not good enough, once the increase in skin color, it is covered. In particular, the seeds with better shapes and whiteness, when coupled with gratifying skin color, will not only quadruple their market price, but will also add one to several zeros to the original price. . The dyeing technology is now advancing by leaps and bounds, and unscrupulous traders are also willing to spend time on raw materials that are relatively good, so that even veterans and experts in the industry have a hard time, not to mention ordinary consumers.

Another is the generalized narrow sense of Hetian jade disorder. According to the new national standard promulgated in 2003, as long as tremolite or actinolite reaches a certain percentage, it can be identified as Hetian jade. Hetian jade therefore no longer has meaning of origin. It is a good thing to have a standard, but the troubles follow: Qinghai in China, neighboring Russia, and South Korea also produce nephrite, and Canada and Taiwan in China also produce jasper products with good quality. “Generalized Hetian jade” seems to fly everywhere. Even the limelight has already covered the real Hetian jade. According to the author's observation, Hetian jade sold in TV shopping is basically Broad and Hetian jade, and most of them are soft jade produced in Chuncheon, South Korea, which has the lowest price in the market, that is, what the industry calls Korean materials.

What's more, under the drive of huge profits, some of the ridiculous "Hetian jade" have also emerged -

Searching for a "fat sheep jade card" in the online shop will result in thousands of search results. There are tens of thousands or even higher prices, there are hundreds of thousands, and even tens of "a price" within 100 yuan. A piece known as "a superb craftsmanship and Hotan jade fat", even after the brackets marked "bag true", priced at only 85 yuan, and also package delivery. The author had "fortunately" met a similar Dongdong and told the holder that it was just a piece of devitrified glass (sometimes also called high-gluten glass). However, he believed the letter until he personally submitted it. The conclusion was indeed " "Glass", this had to admit that "failed again." In fact, many players who have played for Hetian jade for decades may not have seen shaolin jade in the real sense, but instead of 100 yuan, they can buy the brand of “fat fat jade”. The authenticity can be imagined. .

It should be noted that even if the certificate of authenticity is indeed indicated as "fat jade", it is still unbelievable. Because there is no clear physics and chemistry standard, some identification agencies are motivated by interests. As long as the white jade is slightly better, no matter whether it is Hetian or Russian material or even Korean material, it may issue a report on sucrose jade. Therefore, there was a chaotic phenomenon that "there was a rare sight of genuine sheep fat and the certificate of suicide was flying all over the sky."

In addition to glass, there is now a product of resin plus jade powder that is also mixing fish in the market. Jade processing will certainly produce a lot of powder and scrap with no commercial value. The unscrupulous trader will grind these things into powder, and then add resin to press them into jade pieces, and some of them will pretend to "move knives" on them. The signs of artificial carving fool consumers.

The evils of counterfeiting and falsifying the market are gradually emerging: Some of the enthusiasts who favored Hetian jade originally chose to “avoid” because of repeated “taking medicines”; at the same time, in order to avoid buying fake products or broad-spectrum Hetian jade, people chased seeds more enthusiastically. So that the strange phenomenon of Hetian jade "emphasis only on appearance (skin color) and non-connotation (jade quality)" appeared, which in turn prompted counterfeiters to create "seeds" more madly and form a vicious circle...
