Subject:What is the meaning of those gold glitter found on your jade pieces?
Posted By: Bill Tue, May 15, 2007 IP: 152.163.100.209 In the book "Hongshan Yuqi Tujian" (The Apprisal of Hongshan Jades with pictures" by Mr. Yat-man Chan and Ms. Ying Chan, the criteria they use to appriase Hongshan jades are as follow: (see front cover of book shown on pic 2) |

Subject:More pictures on jades with silver/gold specks
Posted By: Bill Thu, May 17, 2007 I will post three more pictures with jade that have gold and silver specks on their surfaces. Some of them are very hard to see. I have tried to take a picture on one of the jade bird with gold specks but found that I couldn't capture those gold specks at all. Therefore it simply is not easy to see these gold specks on a picture and you must hold the piece on your hand and move it back and forth under a strong light to see the sparkle but it is surely beautiful. |

Posted By: Shane Sat, Dec 04, 2021 I wish I had an answer for you. You did capture my curiosity however, and that forced me to start going through my collection one piece at a time. About an hour into searching my collection for a piece that had "metal diffusion", or "Silver staining", I came across an orange A grade jadeite bangle of mine that kinda blew me away. I will post a couple pictures of it. It was so heavily infused with silver flake, I suspected that it was fake...maybe quartz or something like that. I know it's not however because of who I had certify this bangle. It's certified by Mason Kay, Inc. so I know for a fact that it's grade A jadeite. I had not heard of this occurrence before reading your post hear. |

Posted By: Shane Sun, Dec 05, 2021 An extra note...sense jadeite wasn't discovered until the 1700's, and my certified grade A jadeite bangle seems to have the silver/gold staining being discussed...thar would kind of bring the end of discussion about metal diffused jades having to be 1000-2000 yrs old I'd think. Thar is if the metal flakes seen in my bangle is what you are discussing here. |

Posted By: Bill Thu, May 17, 2007 These two pictures will show the front and rear of a 30 cm tall dark green jade Hongshan apollo that was excavated at Ning Yuen in 1980. Please see the golden streaks found on its horns and golden specks all over its body. It is beautiful. |

Subject:A dark green jade fish with golden specks
Posted By: Bill Thu, May 17, 2007 This is a dark green jade fish I just got not too long ago. It is about 10 cm long and 5.5 cm wide. Its hardness is about 5.5 to 6.0 and its density is 2.951. It was made of very high quality nephrite. I did not see the golden specks until I examine it under the light and I have to move it back and forth to be able to see them clearly. Some of the spots near the top fin is kind of reddish, it looks like oxidized iron. But those spread around the dorsal fin and near the tail are just sparkling gold glitter. It is just simple beautiful. Strangely enough, there is another smaller fish I got at the same time and looks like it was made of the same material and almost identical desigh, it doesn't have any gold glitter found on its surface. Upon closer examination of the two pieces, beautiful red stain or color diffusions can be seen on the head and at the top part of its tail. Such color diffusion is not visible on the smaller fish. |
Subject:Silver specks found on the smaller fish
Posted By: Bill Fri, May 18, 2007 I examined closer at the smaller fish I got and did find a few "silver" specks on them. They are definitely silver and not gold. |

Posted By: Monica Negrila Tue, Feb 12, 2019 Can anyone tell me if my yoni jade egg is natural or man made? It has a lot of gold inclusions and it has a darker stain mark on the other side. |

Posted By: Steve Gridley Tue, Dec 21, 2021 My 2 cents worth: With all due respect to the author of the book (and I admit that I have not read the book, only this thread), I see one major glaring omission in this entire speculative argument. That omission is the lack of geological evidence. Random hypotheses and theories are worthless without scientific backup. Geological analysis of the jade should provide a better understanding of the material, its origin, composition, and formation. |
