How to identify chicken blood jade?
Shen, a senior engineer at the National Jewelry and Jade Quality Supervision and Inspection Center, reminded consumers that the quality of jewelry sold in many domestic tourist attractions is worrying. First of all, it's fake. Some scenic spots in Jiangsu and Zhejiang sell "chicken blood jade", which claims to be of great artistic value, but in fact there is no such name in the jade market. Bloodstone is a dickite in cinnabar, and its color is brighter than cinnabar. Because it is as bright red as chicken blood, people commonly call it chicken blood stone. The earliest bloodstone discovered in China is that of Yuyan Mountain in Changhua, Zhejiang. Later, bahrain bloodstone was discovered in Bahrain Right Banner, Chifeng City, Inner Mongolia. In 1990s, bloodstone was discovered in Shaanxi, Gansu, Sichuan, Hunan, Yunnan and other places. Now that Changhua cinnabar (mercury mine) is drawing to a close, the output of bloodstone is quite limited, and the market price is increasing day by day. According to legend, there was a kind of bird in ancient times, called "Bird Lion", also known as Phoenix Bird, which was aggressive by nature. One day, flying over Yuyan Mountain for food, I saw a phoenix hatching eggs, and suddenly had evil thoughts and attacked him. An unprepared burn bit off his leg. When Feng heard the news, he was United as one enemy and defeated the "bird lion". Although the Phoenix won, it was bloody, which dyed the whole Yuyan Mountain red and turned it into a bloodstone as bright as jade. According to textual research, the mining of bloodstone began in Ming Dynasty and became famous in Qing Dynasty. Emperor Kangxi, Emperor Qianlong and Emperor Jiaqing all appreciated Changhua bloodstone and took it as a seal. A set of "bloodstone seal" special stamps recently issued by the State Post Bureau printed two seals. In the early 1970s, former Japanese Prime Minister tanaka kakuei and former foreign minister Masayoshi Daping visited China, and Premier Zhou Enlai presented Changhua bloodstone to two distinguished guests as a national gift. The masons are Shen Shoujue and Liu Youshi, who are seal engravers of Jiyunge. As a result, bloodstone became famous in Japan and set off a wave of collecting bloodstone. When a large number of Japanese tourists come to China, they will bring bloodstone back to China as the preferred gift. At home, the enthusiasm of Chinese people to invest in collecting bloodstone is also increasing year by year. The main components of bloodstone contain minerals such as Cinnabar, (Cinnabar), Yingshi, calcite, stibnite, dickite, kaolinite and dolomite, and most of them contain silicate minerals such as mercury sulfide. Different producing areas have different texture components, but they are all inseparable from mercury sulfide components. Bloodstone consists of ground and blood. It is generally believed that the mineral composition of "blood" is mainly Chen Si. The composition of "ground", such as Changhua bloodstone, is mainly composed of clay minerals, including dickite, but also contains a considerable amount of kaolinite, alunite, halloysite, timely and pyrite. Bahrain bloodstone is mainly kaolinite and diaspore; The main mineral components of fine black frozen bloodstone and hibiscus frozen bloodstone are dickite and cinnabar; A few years ago, a dense block similar to "Jindinghong" was found at the top of a gold mine in Jilin, in which cinnabar is very fine, hard and delicate, and it is also a kind of hard stone containing cinnabar, which is called cinnabar jade locally. Shape bloodstone has no fixed shape, which is called stone-like. Its colors are blood in pieces, blood in stripes, blood in plum blossoms and blood in floating clouds.
