What's the difference between Xianghua jade and other jade? What's the value of Xianghua jade? Let's learn about it with Xiaobian.
It is understood that Xianghua jade occurs in contact metasomatic jade deposits, rich in calcium, magnesium, iron and other elements, and the mineralization bandwidth is 0.5m to 2.5m. Xianghua jade is a kind of high-grade and high-quality raw material for processing and making jade, which is characterized by its stable color, rich color, fine texture, delicate and moist texture, mainly made of original mountain materials, large volume, good quality, less grain cracks, mainly in cyan and dark green, solemn color and strong toughness.
According to the analysis and test conducted by Hunan Institute of geological testing, the main minerals of Xianghua jade are tremolite and actinolite, accounting for about 95%, with fiber interwoven structure, which is very similar to the mineral and gemological characteristics of Hetian jade.
Wang Liyao, director of the geological exploration division of the Department of land and resources of Hunan Province, said that Xianghua jade was another major discovery after Tongtian jade in Hunan Province, ending the history of no high-grade jade production in Hunan Province and adding the types of precious jade resources in Hunan Province.
