Recently, in the exhibition hall of the Jade Sculpture Training School in Hotan City, Hotan, Xinjiang, Zhang Jianghong, Secretary of the Party Branch, introduced two classification methods of Hotan jade to reporters.
According to reports, Hetian jade can be divided into four categories: mountain material, mountain and flowing water, seed material and Gobi material.
Among them, the Gobi material has a very high hardness due to multiple erosions such as water, high temperature, wind and sand, and is the best quality among Hetian jade.
In addition, Hetian jade can also be intuitively classified according to the color of the jade, which is divided into white jade, black jade, topaz, blue and white jade, etc.
