Guangdong people discovered Guilin chicken blood jade

As a senior jade expert who studied at the Department of Mineralogy of Sun Yat-Sen University, before and after 2000, when Huang Yilin saw the chicken blood jade stone in a jade trading market in Guangzhou, with a keen sense of consciousness, he judged that this should be a new mineral. . "At the time, they were sold to Guangzhou as ornamental stones. At first glance, they felt like Changhua's bloodstone. Red, black and yellow. The colors are mixed in a stone, and the colors are smart and layered. Feeling, especially red, bright and dripping, very eye-catching. But I measured it a little and tested the hardness, I know that unlike the bloodstone, it may belong to the silicon jade, it should be a jade carving material with good stability." He introduced.

After such initial cognition, Huang Yilin began to search for its place of origin: initially, he went back to Zhangzhou along the Pearl River, and went to Liuzhou, and inquired, or came from the river; then he came to Guilin, when Guilin sold There are already many merchants who have washed the water, but Huang Yilin is not satisfied, but still wants to find its original mine. "Everyone only knows about it. It is Sanjiang. From Guilin to Sanjiang, there are more than 80 kilometers. The next day I took a bus to Sanjiang. On the way, I saw many gold rushing boats in the river dig gold mines. At the same time, they also picked up the colored pebbles in their mouths and sold them on the shore. I think the stones in the river must have been rolled down in the mountains. The upstream of this river should be the location of the original mine. So I am going upstream. After two days, I went to the upper reaches and found that the colorful pebbles in the river are getting bigger and bigger. I think it should be not far from the destination.” In the end, Huang Yilin found its original mine in a place called chicken feet. Nearly 2000 meters, there is a large talc mine with conditions for mineral symbiosis. Huang Yilin took another small bus every day and entered the Shalin Village of the mining area. The roadbed that passed through was broken with this colored pebbles. When I got out of the car, I climbed to the top of the mountain. In front of it was a large stone covered with moss. Huang Yilin unveiled the thick turf, and there was a bright red "blood color" below. At that moment, he was as excited as discovering the New World.

Because of the jewelry company that has been doing it for a long time, Huang Yilin understands that this colored pebbles have great development value and should be introduced to the market. Under his efforts, Guilin Chicken Blood Jade was quickly developed and utilized.

However, at the beginning, this jade was called Caiyu, Red Jasper, and Red Jade. In 2014, it was officially named Guilin Chicken Blood Jade. Zhou Yunde, vice president of Guilin Chicken Blood Jade Association, said: "The original mining area of ​​Guilin Chicken Blood Jade is in the grounding zone of the Earth Plate. It was originally a submarine volcano. It was formed after a billion years. If it is ordered, it should be able to be mined for 50 years."

Wu Guozhong, former dean of the Jewelry College of China University of Geosciences, gave a more professional statement: "Guilin chicken blood jade belongs to jasperite, its chemical composition is mainly 70%~80% of silicon oxide, 10%~15% of iron oxide, and it has a blocky shape. Structure, strip structure, stripe structure, mottled structure, the pattern is ever-changing, the structure is mainly cryptocrystalline structure and microscopic crystal structure, so it is very fine, polishing performance is good, waxy, grease luster, after polishing Glass luster."
