Afghanistan jade has disappeared in the Hetian jade market in recent years, but in the past, Afghan jade was called a Hetian jade killer, and it was even used as a substitute for sheep fat.
Afghan jade is also called Ayu. It itself belongs to a stone, the main ingredient Fang Lixian, so it is also called Fang Xieshi jade.
It local jade research reports according to the Asian Gems Association (GIG), Afghanistan jade is formed by a deterioration rock, which is formed by the deterioration of carbonate rocks through regional or contact with metamorphosis. This kind of beautiful stone is mainly composed of Fangli stone and white cloud stone. In addition, it contains silicon bellstone, talcs, flaspite, transparent pyroxome, oblique stone, quartz, and square magnesium stone. Strip -like) structure, Mo's hardness is between 4.0-5.0. This of Afghan jade is not high, but because it is very similar to Hetian jade, there are often impersonal conditions before. The real Afghan jade produces from the Alps. Ten years ago, most of the Afghan jade in the domestic market came from Afghanistan and Turkey, but as the war rose, most of the jade mines in Afghanistan were forced to close. As a result, China's market share was successively produced. Occupy carbonate jade from Turkey and Iran.
In fact, not all carbonate jade can be called Afghan jade. Domestic jewelry dealers only agree with the kind of natural exposure of natural exposure to the mountains, which have been exposed for hundreds of millions of years without losing their moisture and gloss, because only this type of carbonate jade has "color like condensation," The external characteristics of oil luster, refined light, thick and moist ". This is Afghan jade, which is more like stones, not Hetian jade. of course, some finished products are very similar to Hetian jade, including some of the presence of Afghan jade in some appraisal programs. Like some Afghan jade products, there are many in the market. It can only be regarded as a crafts. As a simple fold, it is not worth talking about.
The posing a lot of Afghan jade at the beginning, but later, Afghan jade has evolved into a white stone. Jade artifacts are used to Afghanistan jade.
But now, Afghan jade can only be seen in some tourism places, and they are all people who do not understand jade at all. But because it is very different from Hetian jade, it is not difficult to distinguish.
When looking at the jade material with transmission, you can find that there are some horizontal or vertical line textures in it. You can see it directly, that is, the unique features of Afghan jade. The gloss of Afghan jade was not moist, and a little waxy luster brought out a little waxy luster. In addition, the hardness of Afghanistan jade is very low below five. It can be carved with a knife. We use a knife to draw it in where the jade bracelet is not obvious. There is no mark at all. Afghan jade has low hardness and greater brittleness. Sometimes a slight collision can cause scars to cause jade, and vigorously hit the jade. It can be seen that the cross section of the jade of the jade is relatively flat.
