A kind of gemstone with unique patterns and brilliant colors - coral jade, has appeared more and more frequently in the antique market in recent years. "Only one or two of the Xinghai exhibitions last year sold coral jade, and the products only had jade bracelets, bracelets, etc. This year, professional manufacturers have come in." An industry insider said. It is as aura-like as the emerald, and it is as gentle and soft as Hetian jade, which makes it easy to put it down. According to Mr. Huang Ying, who specializes in the development of overseas mining expeditions, coral jade is known in China for only a few years, and with its scarcity and non-renewable characteristics, prices have risen. "The first one kilogram of coral jade ore is more than ten yuan, and now it costs 300 yuan to 500 yuan. Some time ago, a group of coral jade bracelets were sold in a domestic antique market for 3.5 million yuan, setting a sales record for the coral jade market." As a gemstone that has been recognized by the market, coral jade has a large appreciation space, or will become a dark horse in the collection.

Coral jade is a fossil that is formed by the mineral erosion of a specific geological event by a single or complex coral, which is fixed in a specific historical time and space, and then formed by long-term natural geothermal heat and high temperature and high pressure. It is divided into coral jade and coral soft. Two kinds of jade, its appearance is bright, obviously like chrysanthemum, jade experts call it chrysanthemum jade, and because of the homonym in Cantonese, the alias is rich. "The course of coral jade is extremely difficult. It has to take thousands of years of nutrients in the ocean; to endure endless torment in the volcanic magma; to be ruthlessly torn in the crustal movement... and then hundreds of millions After the change of the mountains and seas of the year, it was able to resurrect. Every coral flower in each coral jade has maintained its existence shape hundreds of millions of years ago...” said Mr. Huang Ying.

“The coral fossils are widely distributed, but they can be called jade. The main production areas are in Shaanxi, Sichuan, Xinjiang, Guangxi, and Taiwan, and there are some countries in the United States, the Philippines, Indonesia, and Africa. In Baodao, Taiwan began to mine coral jade, which is the national flower of Japan. Coral jade is therefore popular among Japanese people. Indonesia produces a jadeite with a high degree of jade and bright colors and relatively high cost performance."

In ancient times, corals were regarded as a happy thing of auspiciousness, representing nobleness and power. "The main chemical component of coral is calcium carbonate, and the main component of coral jadeite is silica. It belongs to the chalcedony family and has the same physical and chemical properties. It has all the characteristics of jade. The difference is that it used to have life and belongs to the soul. Gemstones." Usually made into beads, pendants, bracelets, safety buckles and other accessories, more and more popular and sought after.

The coral jade pendant "Xianhe", the engraver makes full use of the shape of the original stone, and engraves a red-crowned crane that hangs its head, and the soft and slender crane neck is attached to the red rose, showing the elegant temperament. "In the traditional bird pattern, the crane is second only to the phoenix, and it is called the 'one bird'. It has been a symbol of the Jiri bird that has prolonged life from ancient times to the present." The store of a coral jade exhibition center in the Dalian Art Center of Fujiazhuang said. Many carvings of coral jade have auspicious and beautiful meanings: the embossed goldfish, the goldfish has the meaning of "golden jade", refers to the golden jade full house; the bat, and the "blessing" homophonic, so China has regarded the bat as auspicious since ancient times. The object, together with the natural round coin-shaped eye pattern unique to coral jade, symbolizes "Fu to the front" and "Fulu Shuangquan"; bracelet is one of the most common jade ornaments, the circle inside the Ping bracelet, the outer circle The bar varies from bow to semicircle, because the inner ring is flat, called the peace bracelet. Now more than 90% of the bracelets on the market are in this style; the inner circle of the blessing is round, the outer circle is round, and the bar is round, because pay attention to it. Full of round, so called the blessing bracelet, this kind of bracelet is very classic, has been passed down for a long time, there are bracelets, chaise bracelets...

Not only that, because coral jade has a natural "money leopard" pattern, the ingenious sculptors also like to carve them into a tiger leopard, a lifelike giraffe and other ornaments, "leopard" and the reported homonym, "deer" and Fu Lu's homophonic sound, natural patterns and patterns on animals are natural, especially popular.

Coral jade is purely natural and contains minerals and trace elements that are good for human health. Its beauty is unique, whether it is the original stone or the finished product, it can appreciate the color, appreciate the texture, carefully play, sigh the miracle of life, the greatness of nature.

“Because coral jade is not as popular as Hetian jade and jade, and resources are still in the early stages of development, its value has not been recognized by too many people, so now is a good time to collect and invest. It is not like gold. Ordinary jewellery such as pearls can be recycled or regenerated, so when its resources become scarcer in the future, the value will inevitably become higher and higher," said Wang Shuangli, president of Dalian Jewelry and Jade Association.

How to distinguish the quality of coral jade? Mr. Huang Ying said: Like other jade, coral jade also pays attention to moistness, head, color and purity. First of all, we must observe the degree of jade, simply to see the transparency of coral jade. He turned on the flashlight and pointed at the bottom of a hanging ornament, saying that the light was completely jade and transparent, and the visual sense could not be seen as a full jade treasure. More than 60% of the jade is more than half of the jade, and more than 30% of the jade is semi-precious. It is lightly permeable or opaque, but it has the texture of jade or the texture of the stone is loose and there is no jade texture. Secondly, observing its pattern, the more complete and clear the pattern of coral jade jewelry, the more beautiful the pattern shape, and the higher the quality. High quality coral jade pattern. Can be roughly divided into: chrysanthemum pattern, feather pattern, peacock pattern, honeycomb pattern, leopard pattern and so on. Third, observe the color of coral jade, because the coral in the process of jade, the invasive mineral composition is different, resulting in a variety of coral jade, basically composed of blue, green, purple, black, red, white, yellow, gray. Among them, red coral jade is the most precious and the highest value. If a coral jade jewelry contains more than three colors, then this jewelry is also very precious and rare.

President Wang Shuangli said that coral jade jewelry is unique. Generally, it will be changed after wearing for a month or two. Its changes are also uncertain: some colors change, some become more transparent, and The pattern is getting clearer and clearer. Compared with other jade, coral jade has the advantages of high hardness, wear resistance, acid and alkali resistance, and is relatively simple in maintenance.
