Hetian jade national standard issued still has room to rise

Jade stones currently on the market are of uneven quality and even difficult to distinguish. Recently, the Chinese National Standards Management Committee and the National Standard Samples Technical Committee approved the issuance of the national standard GSB 16-3061-2013 "Hot Tian Yu physical standard sample". In the future, Hetian Yu, there will be physical samples on the market as a reference standard, but this Can a standard really clean the Hetian jade market?

Sample standard or market

Reshuffle

The national standard samples of Hetian jade in kind introduced this time are classified by color and divided into six categories: white jade, white jade, sapphire, jasper, sugar jade and ink jade. Compared with the local standards of Hetian jade physical samples that were implemented on June 1, 2010 in Xinjiang, the national standard of Hetian jade physical samples was less the two categories of suet white jade and topaz. According to industry insiders, the mineral composition of Hetian jade is tremolite, and there is much controversy among academic circles regarding the classification of Hetian jade by origin or by mineral composition. The local standard of Xinjiang Hetian jade physical sample defines Hetian jade produced in Xinjiang, and the national standard of Hetian jade physical sample is defined by its mineral composition regardless of the origin. In the validation of the national standard classification of Hetian jade, most experts believe that since Hetian jade is categorized by color, white fat can only be regarded as a kind of white jade, and cannot be classified separately. The topaz in a large number of previous mineralogical books has been defined as a stone whose main mineral composition is topiramate, which is obviously different from the yellow Hetian jade that contains the composition of tremolite minerals. To avoid name confusion, the topaz standard was shelved first. Now.

Although the introduction of "Hetian Yu physical standard sample" has standardized the category of Hetian jade from the color, many people in the industry believe that the current Hetian jade market is confusing and that the national standards that have been introduced before are still open-ended, and the new "Hetian Yu physical object Standard Samples does not fully regulate the market. In this regard, Chen Peng, Secretary-General of the Chamber of Commerce of the Beijing Federation of Industrial and Commercial Collectors' Products, stated: “At present, the national standard of Hetian jade can be exploited, which is inaccurate. The definition of the origin of Hetian jade is actually a matter for the development of national standard experts. Sex, they did not limit the definition of Hetian Yu to a place of origin, and they reserved a certain space for the development of gemstones. Many people think that the market of Hetian jade is very confusing, and I don’t think so, He Tianyu’s exploitation and processing. The wholesale, retail, and auction market is a very mature industrial chain, and after years of development, it has been very standardized.People feel that the confusion of the Hetian jade market is mainly due to Hetian jade's large production area, many colors, and large differences in fineness, so it is common consumption. For the person concerned, the difficulty of identification will be very great. After the implementation of the national standard of this sample will be more conducive to people's intuitive identification."

For the newly released "Hetian jade physical standard sample," consumers will be able to compare the appearance and color of the Hetian jade standard sample in the store in the future, and the market price of Hetian jade will be judged by reference objects. This may be the beginning of the entire Hetian jade market facing reshuffling. Although this standard cannot immediately bring the entire market to the norm, the gradual standardization of the industry will make the Hetian jade market increasingly regular.

Regarding the price trend of Hetianyu this year, Chen Peng said: “This year Hetian jade's price will rise steadily. Its price is directly related to China’s economic situation. Of course, the impact of the new national standard on the price will not be apparent soon, but Looking at the market trend, the new standard will make it possible to influence Hetian Yu through the release of works related to Hetian jade. The current new standards may affect the price of Hetian jade in these areas in the future. ”

"Similar to other works of art, Hetian Yu also has a long-term industrial chain. The implementation of sample standards will provide standards and basis for the assessment and evaluation of some organizations, will reduce the difficulty of people's identification to a certain extent, and will provide convenience for evaluation. In the future, he may promote Hetian Yu’s financial measures, Hetian Yu may become a mortgage, guarantee and convert it into cash, and Hetian Yu will probably become a hard currency for circulation, at this time, the significance of Hetian jade sample standards implementation is also It will be reflected," said Chen Peng.

He Tianyu's "theory of origin"

Gradually

After many years of excavation and trading, there are fewer and fewer good jades on the market. Especially last year, with Xinjiang Hetian stepped up the restrictions and management of the indiscriminate mining and excavation of the Yulong Kashi River, the fine Xinjiang Hetian jade has become rare. Many businesses even withdrew fine jade materials and waited for a new round of price increases. On the other hand, Hetian jade from a large number of other producing areas is flooded into the market, and the current national jewellery and jade standard named the main mineral composition as tremolite and actinite mineral aggregates collectively referred to as “Hetian jade”. According to this naming standard, Russian Jade, Korean Jade, Qinghai Jade, and Canadian Jade can legitimately be labeled with “Hetian jade”.

Some people may say that different origins mean different prices. In fact, the prices of high-quality Russian materials in recent years are basically the same as Hetianyu of the same grade, because in the face of the same Bailu delicate jade material, collectors will not be because of which Hetian jade spends several times more on the price. If there is a difference in price, it is also because collectors see the “pervious” Qinghai material or the “rigid” Russian material instead of the high-grade Qinghai material and Russian material. It was finally verified that the quality of jade is the first truth.

“Always there has been much controversy in the academia and industry about what kinds of jade can be called Hetian jade.” Chen Peng told the Beijing Commercial Daily reporter, “But we have to see that with the development of Hetian jade more and more difficult. The scarcity of large reserves and the expansion of the concept of Hetian jade is actually a very farsighted thing. Currently, there are certain reserves of tremolite in the world. From the market situation, Hetian jade has already existed in the place of origin. For more than ten years, the market and consumers have basically approved this concept of the Hetian jade of the place of origin. Now some Russian and Qinghai materials have already been recognized in the market. This shows that Hetian jade in the place of production will also be the same in the future. There is a lot of market space, such as the Russian jasper, which goes beyond Hetian Biyu in terms of product color and texture, and its price has surpassed that of Hetian Biyu in the market in recent years, so it also explains the price of jade. It is decided by the fineness and appearance."
