In recent years, the new stone species that has the greatest impact on the stone appreciation industry should be regarded as topaz. The impact of topaz on the jade and stone appreciation industry is phenomenal. Later, the popularity of gold silk jade and South Red Agate is far less than the wave of topaz in that year. There are many objective reasons why pyrophyllite is loved by people and sought after by the market, mainly including the following five points. Let's have a look.
1. The resources of traditional jade species are exhausted, and new jade species are needed to fill the gap in the market
The excellent quality of yellow wax stone is completely in line with people's cognition of jade. For example, the price of jadeite and jadeite imported from Nanyang has long been recognized by the ordinary people, and the consumption capacity of jadeite and jadeite from Nanyang has been largely exhausted. Some local jade species cannot satisfy people's love for jade because their reserves are too small. High quality yellow wax stone is tough, moderate hardness, transparent and moist, and has good stability. It is especially suitable for carving. Someone tried to carve some ornaments with yellow wax stone and put them on sale in the store. Unexpectedly, they were very popular. Yellow transparent pyrophyllite jewelry looks like it has its own "treasure gas". The color is uniform and waxy, which is what a beautiful jade should look like. Since 2004, yellow wax stone has been on fire almost overnight. In 2011, topaz (chalcedony), which reached a certain standard, was entered into the national jewelry and jade list by the state, becoming a natural jade in the same position as jadeite and Hotan jade, and was officially named Huanglong jade.
2. The color of yellow wax stone is mainly yellow. Yellow has always been loved by Chinese people, and yellow is considered to be the most orthodox color
In ancient China, yellow was considered to be the most precious color, and has long been used as a royal color by the royal family. Yellow has become the most precious color. Yellow is also regarded as an orthodox color by Confucianism, Taoism and Buddhism. Yellow is the color of the land, yellow is the color of gold, yellow is the color of wheat and grain ears, yellow is the color of the Yellow River, and yellow is the color symbol and cultural symbol of the Chinese nation. People like yellow so much. The yellow of yellow wax stone is more pure and natural, so it is easier to be loved by people.
3. As an ornamental stone, yellow wax stone also has historical basis
It is said that yellow wax stone was first discovered in ancient Cambodia, which paid tribute to the emperor of the Ming Dynasty. Cambodia was also known as the "true wax country" at that time. In addition, the white wax stone "Aries" collected by the famous collector Mr. Xie Zhifeng is a stone produced in the Ming Dynasty. Liang jiutu, a Tibetan stone expert in the Qing Dynasty, said in "talking about stone" that "wax stone is the most expensive color, and the color is pure yellow, otherwise it will be useless". Species Three kinds of evidence show that yellow wax stone was considered as a beautiful stone at least in the Ming Dynasty, but the number of yellow wax stone was relatively small due to the lack of information at that time.
4. Yellow wax stone, with fine texture, conforms to the characteristics of beautiful stone, which is wet, moist, dense, transparent, solidified and greasy
There must be objective reasons for a thing to be loved by people. Yellow wax stone is sought after because it conforms to the characteristics of beautiful stone, that is, it has six virtues: wet, moist, dense, transparent, solidified and greasy. The color of yellow wax stone is also very rich. The common ones are yellow, white, red and black, and the rare ones are green. Yellow wax stone can be divided into glue wax, frozen wax, fine wax, crystal wax and coarse wax. Strictly speaking, coarse wax is quartz stone without jade. Glue wax has the strongest colloidal feeling, the most delicate stone quality, and the most transparent frozen wax. Those above the level of fine wax can be carved. Crystal particles can be seen in the crystal wax, which has high ornamental value. The thick wax is relatively large and can be used as landscape stone. The wax stone with good quality has dense texture, waxy and porcelain surface on the surface, gorgeous and elegant color, transparent and full of spiritual light. There are many producing areas of yellow wax stone, which have been found in many provinces in China, among which the yellow wax stone in Yunnan, Jiangxi, Guangdong and other places is relatively superior. In fact, high-quality chrysolite called Huanglong jade is rare, which is one of the reasons for the high price of Huanglong jade.
5. The appreciation value of yellow wax stone is very high
The texture of yellow wax stone is very rich. The texture of yellow wax stone is one of the most distinctive characteristics of yellow wax stone. Dozens of yellow wax stone textures have been found. The common textures of yellow wax stone include knife cutting pattern, straw pattern, crystal pattern, grid pattern, honeycomb pattern, running water pattern, bead pattern, money pattern, laminated pattern, etc. the naming of the texture is always considered from the perspective of texture image. Almost all stone players like yellow wax stone, because the yellow wax stone with good texture is the material of jade carving, and the shaped yellow wax stone has high ornamental value. The appreciation value of yellow wax stone is prominent among all stone species, and high-quality yellow wax stone has high economic value.
Of course, there are other reasons why yellow wax stone is widely loved by people, such as the vigorous publicity of the media. However, the excellent quality of yellow wax stone itself is the most important objective factor. The above five aspects are also the main reasons why yellow wax stone is loved by people.
