bracelets from the live shell car?
No, it is not the shells of fresh live crustaceans that are made into crustaceans, but the ancient crustaceans that have been carved over the years. Because the texture of the live crustacean is relatively brittle and thinner, and cannot meet the processing requirements, it can be used to process old crustaceans, ancient clams, fossil clams, jade clams, etc. What color is good for

?
is actually the same sentence, there is no best but better. If you still focus on the color, you should pay attention to it. The color is only a part and should be viewed in a more macroscopic view. The texture of the clam and the carving work are equally important, the color It differs only because of the rarity of the production, but it is better to look at things comprehensively.

Why do several thousand and one or two hundred look similar?
clams are naturally formed. There can be no identical existence in this world, just as there are no two leaves in this world. Even if the colors on the surface look the same, they are actually quite different, which is not so easy to distinguish intuitively. Don't blindly follow the trend. As the saying goes, playthings are priceless, and people's hearts are high and low. One thing has one master, the good one is rich and happy, the mediocre one has a stone heart.

clam pack slurry
pack slurry is formed by the penetration of substances, oxidation and time. The main component of crustaceans is calcium carbonate. The sweat in the hands will remain on the surface of the bracelets during playing, and human sweat will contain very weak acidity. After the two react, salt substances will be generated to make crustaceans look More shiny. Of course, this luster is not as shiny and reflective as the oily wood or Hetian jade. Due to the acidity in sweatVery small, so the reaction speed will be very slow, and it will look dirty for a long time, that is, the commonly known atomization is mainly because the clam is an organic gemstone, acid and alkali will corrode its surface, under a magnifying glass Observing the unevenness of the surface is what is usually called "rough". Therefore, the reflected light is diffuse. Some people say that atomization is the inevitable process of clam coating. As to whether the clam can be produced from the atomized clam, it remains to be verified.

2. Misunderstandings in the collection of 砗磲
1, 砗磲 should be flawless, even the fine lines are the best.
Clayton is a natural organic gemstone. How could it have no texture? Most of such crustaceans are made of white stone or crushed shell powder or white stone powder and glued together. It is pure white, dull white, polished and shiny. natural. How can artificially synthesized things compare to the natural ones? Those textures are the testimony of the long years. The genuine luster is delicate, slightly transparent, golden yellow and milky white, the whole fake clam is white and dull. Careful observation is absolutely necessary. Absolute words can’t be trusted. Purchase must be thoughtful and not impulsive consumption.
2, good clams are almost the same, the best bracelet is the same quality and texture.
The clams grow naturally, carefully observe whether the lines are natural or not, it is just that the lines of the two clams are not the same. It's just like there are no two leaves in the world that are the same thing. Its mineral structure is dominated by aragonite, with a layered structure, with a single layer thickness of 0.5-1.5mm, with clear and dense layers; fake clams have no natural growth patterns or textures that are too uniform and unnatural. Clear lines are necessary, but excessive similarity remains to be seen.
3, clams are natural organic gemstones, of course, the lower the hand, the better. The density of
crustaceans is 2.70g/cm3; the hardness is generally 2.5-3.0 degrees, and some can reach 4 degrees. Try to weigh the weight with your hands. If it feels very heavy or too light, it may be an unnatural clam. The weight of the clam is quite heavy, but this does not prove that the heavier the better. It is necessary to understand from a scientific point of view. If you want to make it simple, it's just like buying vegetables. It's just a good name. If you give it to you, does he have moisture here?
4. The wholesale price is so cheap, and the quality is as good as those high-end products.
If you are lucky and want to buy extremely high quality at a very low price, then you are more likely to be disappointed. We don't rule out the possibility of picking up the leak, but it's like finding a needle in a haystack. If you do run into it, then you are lucky, but most of this situation ends in disappointment.
5. The material of Huangyan Island is the best.
The material of Huangyan Island is rich in color and the raw material has a high degree of jade. But there are no such absolute things in the world. It depends on the material itself. There is no best, only better.
3. About the maintenance of the crustacean
Wash your hands with plenty of water every time you wash your hands and take it off every day, so that the sweat sticking to it can be washed away, which can slow down the influence of sweat on the gloss of the crustacean surface. Use a clean soft cloth or paper towel to wipe off the moisture on the clam. Neutral oils such as BB oil, olive oil for skin care, or edible olive oil, sandalwood oil can be used to maintain clams. You can go to the supermarket to buy edible olive oil, which is safe and affordable, so why not do it. Pour a little oil into the palm of your hand, rub the oil evenly with both hands, rub the clam on the palm of your hands, if it is a bracelet, evenly spread the olive oil on your hands on each bead. Let it stand until the oil is absorbed and the surface oil film is fully oxidized. Generally, the effect can be achieved by standing overnight, but it is best if it can be left standing for 1-2 days. The longer the standing time, the more fully oxidized the oil film on the surface of the beads, and the better the protection of the body of the clam. Proper cleaning is necessary, and it is also necessary to stay away from chemical substances like makeup changers. After all, clams are organic fossils. Items with chemicals like cosmetics are more eroded than sweat.The clams should be worse than ever. Attention should be paid to protection.

It is similar to giant pandas and golden monkeys. The same is a national first-level protected animal.
After the natural death of these deep-sea shellfishes, their shells have undergone complex chemical changes under the combined long-term action of various environmental factors such as deep sea high salinity, high pressure and low temperature, and turned into fossils; and then in the long geological During this period, it undergoes metamorphism and recrystallization. After tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of years of evolution, the main component gradually transforms into opal chalcedony—this is the "Jade Hua Clay" that we collect today and is popular among collectors. (Hereinafter referred to as "crustaceans").
From a gemological point of view, only shells with beautiful pearl luster, vignetting and fine texture can be used as gemstones. The whiteness of clam shell is 10, which can be said to be the cleanest white substance in the world, and it is also all shellfish. The most beautiful in this category.

As the saying goes: "Jade is not a tool if it is not cut." After thousands of years of immersion in seawater, the inner molecular structure of the old crustacean shell has been stabilized, and the color of the nacre of the crustacean inner shell has become softer and more radiant. After peeling and selecting materials, designing according to materials, meticulously engraving, polishing, and other processes, a piece of beautiful clam artwork can be carved out, and its hand feeling and luster can even be comparable to Xinjiang Hetian white jade. At the same time, because the hardness of clams is much smaller than that of jade, white jade, etc., the material is brittle and hard, and the carving is time-consuming and laborious. If you are not careful, it is easy to get rid of your previous work. Therefore, a master who can carve clams has the same artistic level and carving skills. Superior.
