“Is soft jade a very soft jade? Is jadeite a very hard jade?†If you ask this question as a consumer, then the merchant will be happy in the heart – for this little white It’s time to raise prices. But in fact, the name “soft jade†is indeed very misleading. This is why many gemologists and practitioners recommend changing their names. So where did this "unpleasant" name come from? (one) In ancient times, the Spanish colonists used the Aztec to treat back pain as piedra de ijada (meaning "waist stone") and piedra de losrinones (meaning "kidney stone"). When the two were translated into English, there were two nouns, jade and nephrite. Later, jade became the general name for the jade in the West. (two) In the middle of the 19th century, the emerald jade from China's Yuanmingyuan caused the attention of the French chemist and mineralogist Demur. He is now composed of two different minerals, one is Werner in the late eighteenth century. The discovered amphibole series mineral nephrite; another mineral is a new mineral that has not appeared in other jade. It was named jadeite by Demur and belongs to the pyroxene family. (three) Later Japanese scholars introduced Demur's research results and translated them into Japanese "soft jade" and "hard jade" according to the slight difference in the Mohs hardness of nephrite and jadeite. At the beginning of the 20th century, the earliest accurately identifiable Chinese interpretation of Jadeite and Nephrite appeared in the "Shiya" written by Zhang Hongjun, the pioneer of modern geology in China (1905, studying geology in Japan), but it can be clearly seen that Zhang Hongyi only quoted the translated names of Japanese scholars and converted them into Chinese "soft jade" and "hard jade". "One is known as jade, the east is called nephrite, Tessie is called Nephrite. The second is jade, the oriental is called jadeite, and Tessie is called Jadeite." ——Zhang Hongjun, Shi Ya This name has been passed down to the present, causing future generations to mistakenly think that it is a Chinese translation, and use these two names in various formal occasions, causing consumers to misunderstand. In fact, Nephrite and Jadeite do not have a Chinese translation. (four) In the name "Jewelry and Jade" (GB/T16552-2003), jade, which is mainly composed of tremolite minerals, is collectively referred to as "Hetian jade" (also collectively referred to as "soft jade" or "sparkling jade"). This name method caused great controversy in the jade industry at that time. (Fives) The theoretical circle, which is mainly represented by geological mineralogists, believes that the term “nephrite†is easy to produce a misunderstanding of soft jade, and it was abolished by the International Mineral Society as a mineral name in the 1980s. Therefore, “soft jade†The word "should not be used as a jade name." However, the mineral composition of the same jade variety in different producing areas is very small. Generally, the jewellery and jade identification institutions are difficult to distinguish by conventional instruments. Therefore, it is not appropriate to participate in the name of the place of origin. It is still claimed to be named "Xinshiyu" or "Tremolite" according to the mineral name. jade". Entrepreneurs representing the jade industry do not agree with this view. They believe that jade is of a quality and cultural connotation. The place of origin is the brand. If the jadeite in other areas is also named “Hetian jadeâ€, it is a deception in the market. behavior. Some scholars believe that the names such as "Xinshiyu" and "Tremolite" may also cause misunderstandings, and the word "stone" is easy to bring a "near precious" negative impression to nephrite. "Soft nephrite" has been used for a long time. It should not be changed. (six) The name of "soft jade" can be described as diverse and contending. At present, most of the names in the market are "Hetian jade", but the "Russian material" or "Qinghai material" will be additionally indicated; in the academic research, "soft jade" is often used.
