It is also fake to sew jade on the leg of lamb or dog.
It is difficult to find a natural jadeite with transparent color, which can be said to be the best choice for jadeite. Many people find business opportunities in jade articles and make a fuss about them in order to get more benefits. Ma Weidou, a famous collector, once told people about jade counterfeiting, because it is well known in the industry, but it is difficult for ordinary people to distinguish it.
The first is roasted jade, which is famous for its crispness. Of course, jade melts easily at high temperature, so it is necessary to control the heat, so that the baked jade not only looks more textured, but also sounds better, which is a very crisp feeling. Only in this way can the price of ordinary jade be doubled and turned into high-quality jade.
There is another way, which sounds a little buried, that is, throwing jade into the dung pot. It is said that this way can make uric acid in fecal water penetrate into jade, which will make jade and jade look more chronological after they are integrated. This kind of jade is suitable for fake blowing antiques, because it looks really chronological and the color is very historical. To put it bluntly, it is a retro feeling.
In addition, the most common and cruel jade is blood jade, which is valuable just by listening to its name. Among the varieties of jade, the darker jade is very rare, so the price is also very high. This kind of jade is very clear in color, clever in bold lines and good in texture, with few real numbers. Some enthusiasts will spend a lot of money to collect such jade, so some people began to use their brains.
In order to make blood jade, they will cut the leg of lamb or dog, then sew the jade in and take it out three years later. The jade taken out at this time is "blood seeping jade". The jade made will be bloody, more transparent and beautiful, but the process is very cruel, because the animals sewn with jade are alive.
After this process, cheap jade will be sold to collectors at a very high price, and the profits from it can be said to be profiteering. But ordinary people can't see anything wrong at all, and only those who really understand jade can see the doorway. Therefore, people should not be deceived by unscrupulous merchants because they are greedy for cheap, keep their eyes open and give criminals an opportunity.
