What is bluestone jade?

Bluestone jade is the largest component of nephrite, its material composition is the same as or similar to that of white jade, and its origin is the same as that of white jade, which belongs to contact metamorphism, but it is different because it contains trace element iron. When wearing and maintaining sapphire, avoid colliding with hard objects, wear it often and rub it from time to time.

colour

Bluestone jade varies from light cyan to dark cyan, and there are many colors. The ancient books record Ran Ziqing, snot Qing, crab shell Qing, Julia and so on. In modern times, there are different shades of colors, including light blue, dark blue, navy blue, gray blue, dark gray blue and so on. Among Hetian jade, sapphires are the most common, and large ones are common. In recent years, I have seen an emerald, which is light green.

trait

Simply from the value point of view, bluestone jade is far less than suet jade and white jade, but sapphire has its own characteristics: it is often large in size, delicate in texture, moist and oily, and part of sapphire is an important raw material for making thin-walled utensils because of its dense interwoven structure and excellent toughness.

The characteristics of bluestone jade can be summarized as the following three points:

First, the output of bluestone jade is large, accounting for more than half of Hetian jade.

Second, bluestone jade is rich in jade, which can be made into large vessels or jade carvings.

Third, high toughness and good oiliness. Jade with good toughness can withstand pondering, so bluestone jade is often used to make thin-walled vessels, and bluestone jade is often made into bracelets.
