Pretty! Chalcedony wins and turns into a new favorite in the collection

For a long time, jade, such as jade and agate, have occupied the dominant position of the collection market from time to time. In the past, this absolute advantage was being broken by a jade named “Chalcedony”. As a rising star in the collection market, chalcedony has the characteristics of being hard, delicate, soft, transparent, and rich in color, and is highly sought after by fashionable people.

Especially the natural chalcedony that has been carefully carved, it is full of extravagance, it is a well-deserved new darling in the current collection market, and its price has risen with the increase of the value of the collection. The price of chalcedony is still at a low level, and with relatively few counterfeit goods on the market, its current investment risk is small.

The color of chalcedony is very rich, and the chalcedony of three colors of purple, blue and green can be described as fine products with the highest yield. For example, the purple chalcedony produced in Brazil and Indonesia can sell up to tens of thousands of yuan each. The color of chalcedony of yellow, white, red, black and other colors is relatively large, so the collection value is relatively low, and the price of each piece usually ranges from several hundred yuan to several thousand yuan.

In some people's minds, chalcedony is the essence of jade, the most expensive species in jade. According to industry insiders, this is only an understanding of its literal meaning. In practice, chalcedony is a kind of jade, not jade. "Mineology is very strict on the definition of "jade", including only a few types. The range of 'jade' is much more common, such as our common jade, amber, agate, chalcedony, etc. are all in the jade category." According to the introduction, the composition of jade and chalcedony is quite different. The main component of jade is calcium silicate containing magnesium ion and ferrous ion; the main component of chalcedony is silica, which is the confluence of cryptocrystalline quartz. In this way, they are not the same type of substance.

Because chalcedony is very close in composition to jade, many people confuse the two. It is not difficult to distinguish them: First, judging from the gloss, jade and chalcedony have glass luster, but the emerald's luster is not as clear and transparent as chalcedony; the second is judged from the internal structure, the interior of jade is The staggered structure of the fiber, the chalcedony is a granular structure; the third is determined by the weight, the density of the jade is larger than the chalcedony, so the jade feels heavier than the chalcedony; fourth, from the sound, the two emeralds collide quietly It will make a loud sound, and when the two chalcedony collide with each other, it will make a dull sound.

Chalcedony is the most common jade species in nature and one of the oldest jade species in human history. The color of chalcedony is colorful, and some varieties have strange patterns and beautiful patterns, which is amazing. Among the color types, blue and green chalcedony, which are sparsely produced, are more collectible. In ancient times, it was the exclusive of the aristocrats and merchants, but now they have entered the homes of ordinary people and become the jade variety of the popular public.
