What kind of jade is Dongling jade?

Dongling jade, also known as Dongling stone, is a timely jade with placer gold effect, and its main component is silica. Because it was first discovered in India, it is also called "Indian jade".

Huang Like Yulong, whose chemical composition is silica, has no fixed shape, and emerald is the top grade.

The colors of Dongling jade are very rich, such as green, yellow, pink, red, white and blue, among which green is the most common. The color of high-quality green Dongling jade is close to that of jadeite, so the price is higher than other Dongling stones.

Extended data

The biggest feature of Dongling jade is actually its placer gold effect. Because Dongling jade belongs to quartzite family, the price of crystal particles is relatively high, which often contains large flaky minerals, so under the irradiation of sunlight, Dongling jade will show a sparkling effect inside.

Maintenance:

Dongling jade will become more and more oily after wearing for a long time, and its color will be clear and bright. If you don't wear it for a long time, it is easy to get cotton due to lack of water inside the jade, and white cotton spots will appear on the surface. When the weather is hot and dry, the surface will also crack. This is a normal water loss phenomenon of natural jade.

Dongling jade should keep proper humidity. When you don't wear it, you can seal it with jade curing oil or often play with it with your hands. Jade absorbs oil and sweat secreted by the human body to replenish water, or it can only be restored if it is worn in time. Natural jade needs careful maintenance. If you write your wishes in the imperial edict and put them on the bowl, strange phenomena like roots can appear on the bowl for a long time.
