Where is the origin of Huanglong jade?

Huanglong jade is a new kind of jade discovered in Longling, Yunnan Province in 2004. Excellent gem-grade Huanglong jade is mainly produced in Xiaoheishan Nature Reserve of Longling County, Baoshan City, Yunnan Province and the surrounding Supa River Basin, which is very close to the jadeite producing area of Burma. It also belongs to the Yunnan-Burma Baoyu metallogenic belt formed by the mutual extrusion of Eurasian plate and Indian Ocean plate, where the original forest coverage is very high, the topography is complex, the climate is diverse, and Rain Water is very rich. It is known as the rain screen in western Yunnan, which provides very unique and irreproducible natural conditions for the formation of excellent jade.

Distribution of producing area of Huanglongyu

1. Small Montenegro: small Montenegro is the main producing area of Huanglong jade, with huge output and the largest storage capacity, accounting for an area of more than 40 square kilometers, of which high-quality Huanglong jade mineral accounts for 1 inch 20, that is, about 2 square kilometers. The producing area of Xiaoheishan is located in the central and southern part of Longling County. In the mountains above 2700 meters above sea level, there are a variety of Huanglong jade produced here, and there are also several kinds of raw materials, such as turf, cave jade, mountains and rivers, etc., and there are almost more than 7 ore belts.

2. Longjiang Township: the Huanglong jade from Longjiang Township is mainly of large size, and it is a good material for large Huanglong jade carving handicrafts. the large volume shows that there is relatively less pulling in the process of formation, which can also be proved by less cracks. In addition, the jade skin produced here is yellowish brown corrugated or fish scales, the interior is rich red or yellow, and contains more impurities than the small black mountain, which affects her quality.

3. Zhenan Township: the Huanglong jade materials from Zhenan Township generally have yellow, orange, red and white colors, but they are not so pure and not gorgeous enough, so the outer skin of the seed material is different. There are bronze, green, cyan and other color patterns, which are very ornamental, with red or yellow on the outside and gray or dark on the inside.

The appreciation method of Huanglongyu

1. Color: the colors of Huanglongyu are light yellow, golden yellow, orange red, orange red, pigeon blood red, light red, golden orange red and so on. These tones are the most active, prosperous, honorable and auspicious colors in warm tones, which are the first element of Huanglongyu's popularity and value.

2, transparent: Huanglong jade is generally a uniform translucent shape. when observing the light, the edge or thinner part of the jade material has orange-yellow light transmission, and the time halo irradiated by a flashlight is wider, and the appropriate edge irradiation can often be as bright as 3cm. The texture of the finished product is pure and clear.

3, run: Huanglong jade is fine, pure and clear, without impurities, so the effect after polishing is excellent, delicate, soft and clear.

4. Hard: the hardness of Huanglong jade is 6.5-7 degrees. When there are more aluminum and iron silicate, the hardness will be slightly reduced, and it is more labor-intensive than carving jade because of eating tools in the process of processing.
