"There are thousands of Baidu in the public, and when they look back, the man is in a dim light." This familiar phrase is called "Sapphire Case". There are two kinds of arguments about the Qingyu case. One refers to the jade utensils, such as the sapphire bowl, and the other is the case of the inlaid sapphire. No matter what the statement, the sapphire represents the blending and subtle elegance of the situation. It is seamless with Chinese traditional aesthetics and expressions.
It can be said that Hetian Yuzhong, in addition to the most prestigious white jade, the most contacted should be regarded as sapphire, but people's cognition of sapphire is still limited. The following Tibetan jade will give you a detailed introduction to the situation of sapphire in Hetian jade market.
First, the variety of sapphire
One of the five major categories of sapphire and Hetian jade, mainly distributed in the Kunlun Mountains in the south of the Tarim Basin in Xinjiang, is the largest component of Hetian jade. According to the statistics of the mine, the output of sapphire accounts for about 80% of the total output of Hetian jade. The material composition is the same or similar to that of white jade, and the cause is the same as that of white jade. It is caused by the formation of contact metamorphism, and it is only due to the trace element iron.

Sapphire is from light cyan to dark blue, and there are many kinds of colors. The ancient books include scorpion green, nasal green, crab shell green, and leaf green. Modern colors vary in color, and there are also light green, dark blue, green blue, gray green, dark gray green and so on. Hetian jade has the most sapphire, and is often a large block. The blue in the sapphire, if the subdivision is also divided into many kinds. At present, the most sapphire on the market has the following categories:
â–² A type of positive cyan: positive cyan generally looks like green, green, is called jasper by many old engraving masters. With the development of time, the classification of Hetian jade is more and more clear, the jade is the sapphire, and the jasper is the jasper.
â–² One type is black sapphire: black sapphire is caused by the immersion of graphite element in the sapphire matrix. The appearance looks black, the flashlight is hit, and the interior is cyan. To put it bluntly, it is the black sapphire.
â–² Another common type is the smoky blue color. The smoky blue color is the common color in Qinghai sapphire. It is like the smell of smoke, and it is gray and pink. The jadeite is not graphite-colored and contains no graphite inclusions inside. Judging from the connotation of the definition of Moyu, Qinghai Yanqing jade cannot be classified as Moyu. There are also sapphire blue and blue jujubes that have received much attention in recent years.
Hetian Qingyu is the hardest in Hetian jade, also known as steel jade. The jade is delicate and warm, the jade is deep and pure, and the overall appearance is strong, which means that the foundation is evergreen. Therefore, it has been the main material of the country since ancient times. The jade of the feudal dynasties in the past are all jade materials, representing In the Qing dynasty, the highest emperor of the Qing dynasty, there were 13 of the Qing dynasty Fang Baoyu, and all of them were jade and jade, so the jade experts all called Hetian Qingyu the "Jade of the Emperor."
Second, the occurrence of sapphire
Sapphire is divided into seed material, mountain water material, mountain material, and Gobi material. Among them, the mountain material is the most, the seed material is the second, and the Gobi material is less.
Sapphire seed
Sapphire mountain material
Black Sapphire Gobi
Jujube green
Sapphire seed is currently only produced in the Hetian jade production area in Xinjiang. The most famous of them is the sand jujube sapphire seed. The jade is extremely delicate and oily, such as jujube-like and delicate, and has a cyan texture of sand dates. Sapphire Gobi materials are produced in Qinghai and Xinjiang. Jade oil is tough and tough.
Ye Chengqing
The mountain material is very diverse. The production of sapphire in Hetian area is huge, such as the famous Ye Chengqing and Tashkurgan Sapphire. Including the end of the field, there are sapphire output, such as the end of the sugar green white mountain material and the Gobi green yellow material. Among them, the texture of Taqing is the king of black sapphire. Xinjiang sapphire is more oily.
Qinghai Sapphire
Qinghai sapphire is mainly produced in Golmud, and there are many sapphire and black sapphire. Pure color sapphire has the typical characteristics of Qinghai water, and it is more brittle. The general black sapphire has a water ripple pattern. A fine material in Golmud Black Green is also very good, not inferior to the tower green.
Duck egg green
Russian sapphire enters China less, but the quality is very good and the color is special. Among them, the duck egg green is very good, similar to the sand jujube green. The color is unique and the texture is good enough, but the oiliness is still not comparable to that of Wada Real Estate. But in the sapphire material, it is a good material! Combining the local sapphire indicators and senses and touch, the quality is also the Hetian Qingyu seed and Taqing.
Third, the identification of sapphire
The identification of sapphire needs more observation, and Tibetan jade talks about his own experience. Sapphire seed material and Gobi material directly look at the color. Here, we mainly talk about mountain materials. The main materials of Sapphire Mountain include Yecheng Qingyu, Hetian Qingyu, Taqing, Qinghaiqing and Russian Jade.
Yecheng Qingyu
Yecheng Qingyu is generally characterized by clean and motley. The colors range from light green to dark green. The texture is generally brittle and thin, and the fat is not as good as the jade. However, Yecheng Qingyu's output is relatively large, and the block is good. The price is relatively low.
The black sapphire produced in Tashkur, Xinjiang is referred to as Taqing. Generally speaking, Taqing is actually a black-green mountain material produced in Ta County. It contains a part of amphibole and has a high content of erectite. Therefore, the light transmittance is not good, and the glare flashlight is attached, which is about 1-3 mm. But this black sapphire is very thin, and some are even hard to see. The light transmission is basically green. In the current black sapphire on the market, this kind of most collectible value is the best jade in the sapphire. The delicate oily color is calm and the oil is gripped.
â–² Qinghai Sapphire has the unique smoke and water permeability of Qinghai. The material has a large water and is smoked.
â–² and the characteristics of the end of the sapphire is extremely oily, which is the end of a big pass.
About Golmud Black Green and Tashkurgan Black Greens: For the general texture of black sapphire, the graininess and texture of Golmud Black Sapphire is more obvious than that of Taqing. One of the most obvious features is that it is seen in the sun. Golmud black sapphire has a grainy looseness and white lines, similar to the waterline. Tashkurgan black is like grease or black porcelain. With the strong light of the flashlight, the interior of Golmud black and blue is generally uneven, and the Tashkur dry black is fine and even. There is a legendary snake skin line in Taqing.
â–²Taqing is not as black as everyone thinks, but is green, or how is it called black?
â–² Under natural light, Taqing looks usually black, but the flash photo is different.
â–² Look at some of the lighting of the tower, we look for the feeling. Feel the depth, compactness...
â–² Qinghai black and green one light, the original shape is exposed...
â–² Of course, there are very few very black and very fine... When it comes to blackness, we have to mention Russian black and blue, which is often called Russian black.
â–²Russian black and black is first-class, playing flash is not pan-green
â–²Russia black is black, the second is dry, and the third is light, usually within 1MM...
Fourth, the difference between sapphire and jasper
Nowadays, there is a saying of "green jasper" on the market. This is a kind of apothecary name, that is, some sapphire is going to rely on jasper in order to improve some worth. Most of the sapphire that was called "Green Jasper" in these years is the sapphire produced in Qinghai. The changes in sapphire and jasper in nature are continuous, so there is a part of the color of jade in the state of "riding the wall", and the result is "sapphire or jasper". The difference between jasper and sapphire requires the following identification:
1, the difference in color: the color of jasper is uneven, because its composition is mixed, so the color of jasper is a little yellow-green, and contains some black spots, which is a prominent feature of jasper. The color of the sapphire is even and single, but the sapphire is more gray than the jasper, but the sapphire with deep color can be used as a jasper and is not easy to be found.
2, the difference in oiliness and fineness: Hetian jade jade because of the size of the internal mineral particles, but the difference is not very large, in the place where there are many large particles, the oiliness and delicateness of jasper is better than other places. The composition of the sapphire is relatively simple and evenly arranged, so the oil is good and the fineness is good.
Black and blue light transmission
Black and blue
In addition, the sapphire is cyan, no matter how dark, the jade will be dark blue when illuminated by a flashlight, and the jasper is green. The color of the two is still essentially different, so it is relatively simple to distinguish between the two. In fact, we like the texture of jade itself rather than the name of jade, but because the average price of jasper is higher now, some sapphire is also close to jasper. The boundary between jasper and sapphire is gradually transitioning. It is generally distinguished by the contrast of green and blue ash and the habits of the industry. It is clear that it is natural. The overall value of Xinjiang Hetian Biyu is higher than that of Xinjiang Hetian Qingyu. Most of Hetian Qingyu sold on the market today is Qinghai Sapphire; and most of Hetian Biyu sold in the market are Russian Jasper and Canadian Jasper. Everyone needs to pay more attention to this.
Five, the value of sapphire
The general quality solid color sapphire is used to make low-priced accessories, such as small pendants. The price is cheap and the process is rough. There are 80 or even lower prices of Qinghai Sapphire bracelets in Henan, and you can imagine the mass production and market price of sapphire. Pure cyan mountain material or seed material with better quality and larger block size is generally used for making ornaments. Such as Ding, pot and other thin tire art. This is because the cost of sapphire is low, and if the mistakes in the engraving process have to be abandoned, it will not cause the same loss as white jade. The use of black sapphire is currently very extensive, and the use of machine embossing cards is the most. Followed by some big ornaments. Sapphire is a relatively large variety, covering a wide range, so it should be subdivided when collecting. Some gray and rough sapphire prices are relatively low, and there is no collection value; and those with fine texture and high quality should be re-recognized. It is worth watching.
The amount of sapphire products is extremely large, and the price in the whole Hetian jade market is generally lower than other jade colors. But please note that what is said here is that the price is not value. There is no good or bad in the color of jade itself, but people's preferences and aesthetic tastes set the price for it. What the Tibetan jade wants to say is that any kind of jade color has its best. This kind of the best is placed in the same jade color of the same grade, the value is the same. The Chinese have been white for the past, so the price of white jade is generally the highest. But this does not mean that the quality of other jade colors is not good, remember this principle. Help your collection, after all, the market is alive, jade is dead. As a key concern, Zangyu recommends that players pay attention to some jade carving crafts that can reflect the characteristics of sapphire in sapphire. This trait is not available in other Hetian jade varieties. For the collectors who are gradually waking up, the charm and value of Hetian Yuqingyu may be found between looking back.
