Authentication of Shoushan Stone

Authentication of Shoushan Stone
Shoushan stone variety, colorful, different kinds of stone from the shape, color to texture, has its own uniqueness. Although the high quality goods and crude Shanghao big difference between low-grade, one with the naked eye can break their advantages and disadvantages, but if the more than 100 varieties of Shoushan stone with all the focus display is expert in his dazzling probably have to think twice and Cautious. Although the common market, only 23 ten Shoushan stone, but no shortage of similar color, quality similar texture similar to those. Fabrication technology which coupled with penetration, which makes identification more complicated Shoushan stone. In this case, the identification of a certain amount of knowledge is particularly important. In the long-term practice, I accumulated some experience in identifying, summed up in the following categories:

One form, including shapes, edges and corners, skin deep. Such as: Tin Hang Pu Shi no roots and no pulse could be found, with natural massive, without obvious corners, obviously skin color. Shankeng stone is found in mountain area, two on Ocean Village, stone and for pulse of different origin, different characteristics, so Shankeng particularly rich stone names. Hang the holes where the first ore produced, referred to as "puddle stone", due to water-rich ore bodies, ore subject to its erosion, they showed mostly transparent form, Shoushan stone in a variety of "crystal", "freeze" more out of this. Second, color, mainly to see the distribution of color hue, color gather for the state of the table situation. Shoushan stone color variety, gemstone jewelry have a variety of colors, each stone colors have a pattern.
Third, the texture, the feeling of eyes (observation stone surface and internal texture), get started touching feeling (experience of the surface texture), get started Dian feeling (experience heavy fall flu, such as puddles, Hang Mei Sik handle goods made of stone weight), Knife Carving feeling (difficulty eating knife, smooth or not, Shibuya degree of resistance; Shoushan smooth stone knife to eat).
Fourth, texture, including texture, split cell (split is obvious or not obvious gap, lattice is inherent in stone the dividing line or ridge). Most of the existence of Shoushan stone cells, and some species have beautiful stone textures, such as lychee stone radish hole pattern, large waves of rocks shaped texture, gorgeous mountains and beautiful garden color block and so on. Have a basic identification methods, can be distinguished Shoushan stone.
Shoushan stone methods of identification in addition to the above points, but also the works of creativity, carving degree, rarity, popularity, and look at other years. Final comprehensive evaluation done to determine whether it is worth collecting, such as the collection for investment, to do recently, to judge long-term gains. Comprehensive evaluation is one of eight products can be a collection, if both more goods, more worldly treasure. These eight items are: U.S. Commodities (beautiful); Church Goods (and wonderful); fine works of art (wonderful); must Goods (rare); Kamijina (superb); rare items (hard to see); strange products (strange and delicious); Need (perfect).
