Question:

Is the jade pressed by the machine natural?

Is the jade pressed by the machine natural?

Answer:

The market of jade mainly have three kinds, namely a cargo, B goods and C goods, which refers to the goods without any manual optimization of natural jade is genuine genuine goods at a fair price. B goods after a strong acid cleaning, inside the note of glue, although after polishing, but the surface will still have acid corrosion pattern, this kind of goods after a period of time will be yellow. C goods is a dyed emerald, usually with colorless, light colored and water head better low-grade jade artificial dyeing, and a long time will fade.
The first is to make amorphous jade glass material. The reagent and reagent of sodium aluminum silicate and silicate containing colouring ions, formula according to jade composition content in a crucible into the mixing and grinding after the vessel, and then placed in a muffle furnace crucible is heated to 1100 degrees Celsius, and constant temperature cooling after a few hours, you will have to take the color of jade composition of amorphous glass material. The second is made of crystal jade glass. The amorphous glass will jade colored pieces to more than 125 meshes (i.e. particle size less than 0.125 mm), 600 kg / cm on the embedded prototype, heating prefabricated 14X15 (mm) cylinder or 14X6 (mm) of the wafer; then the preformed cylinder or wafer in high-purity graphite crucible. Bake in the oven at 140 degrees Celsius for 24 hours or more; and then the pressure chamber six crucible into a compressor, the compressor start six top closure, in the long time, current power, pressure relief, can get the crystal jade glass. Synthetic emerald glass by X ray powder diffraction analysis, infrared absorption spectrum analysis, chemical composition analysis, hardness measurement, relative density (specific gravity), determination of refractive index determination, fluorescence analysis, and the data are basically consistent with natural jade.
Artificial jade, like artificial diamond, is a kind of natural gem product made by artificial simulation of natural gem. It has certain characteristics of natural gem. Emerald is based on the super bedrock rock are widely distributed, actinolite glaucophane schist and chlorite schist, high temperature and ultra high pressure on the geological environment in the formation of the process of imitation jade. It can be roughly divided into two steps.
