Huang Longyu in the market bubble

In recent days, Huang Longyu’s skyrocketing prices have become a hot topic. Even many people who don’t normally play in the collection have been involved. They are highly concerned about the market and are ready to hold money in the market, the lively scene, and the early years of Puer tea. Orchid heat is quite similar. The reason is that the CPI has risen and prices have risen a bit more than before, making many people feel unsteady. It is a considerable part of the investor’s mind to try to keep the money on hand to invest in collectible goods.

In China, jade not only has a long and rich cultural connotation, but also has extremely high economic value. Due to the scarcity of resources, Huang Longyu, who has entered the public’s view as a substitute, is rich in color, rich in texture, pure and translucent in texture, and has a hardness comparable to that of Mohs. Jade is comparable to the United States and quickly gained the recognition of many players. In recent years, under the rendering of some media and behind-the-scenes speculators, Huang Longyu has become a hot spot for investment and has become a “hard currency” that maintains and adds value. It has attracted thousands of people, and many people say that the price of Huang Longyu is also short. Within a few years, it has skyrocketed by tens or even hundreds of times.

However, is Huang Longyu really a “hard currency” that preserves and adds value?

In fact, Huang Longyu has been controversial since its debut. According to the authority's opinion, Huang Longyu's composition is chalcedony, which is a kind of “jude jade” that has not yet fully matured. It is difficult to compare with Burma jade and Hetian jade. Therefore, the Jewellery Association does not recognize the name "Huang Longyu" because it is inconsistent with international practice - the name of the gem must match the material. Moreover, although Huang Longyu has adopted the standard of jadeite, some concepts have been intentionally or unintentionally confused. For example, in the eyes of the old players, Huang Longyu, who has not experienced high temperature and high pressure and whose color quality has stabilized, cannot be called seed material. But now, as long as the water is Huanglong Yuyu are called seed material.

Huang Longyu’s colors are mostly secondary colors – due to environmental variability, the physical and chemical balance of the original color quality is broken, and the colors that become oxidized and weathered become the colors – due to the low density of Huanglong jade, there are scattered on the stone surface. Numerous tiny pores that are invisible to the naked eye can easily be changed even if the color quality has stabilized. For example, some unscrupulous merchants will not be bright enough, or Huang Longyu with impurities in the pores will soak in oil. After a certain period of time, Huang Longyu, who is full of oil, will be able to cover up and show better color quality than before. Selling a higher price, but wait until the oil is dried up, it will show itself.

Prior to this, yellow marble produced in Chaozhou and Guangxi by the Eight Steps of Guangdong Province also had some clear, bright, jade-like and bright “topaz” waxes that were used for carving jewelry, but due to limited resources, there was no climate . Huang Longyu’s fortune was initially used by some bad stone merchants to sell Guangdong wax and eight-step wax for sale. From this excavation, the sky-high price of today’s development can be said to be a trace of artificial speculation.

Of course, it cannot be denied that Huang Longyu has good ornamental value and economic value, but there is still a long way to go from the transition from art collectibles to investment products. Because as a kind of “jade jade”, Huang Longyu not only has poor circulation, but also requires investors to have a high appreciation and judgment ability for Huang Longyu itself. If only investing in lucrative returns to follow suit, there is a considerable risk.
