Basic introduction of Taishan yellow wax stone

Taishan stone in Guangdong Province is mainly produced in the Nagin area of Beidou Town, Taishan City. It is due to the frequent geothermal movement in the South China Sea during the Cretaceous period, billions of years ago, which led to magma and lava eruptions flowing into the cracks of the rock, blending with the rock and surface soil during the flow. Through mineralization reactions and mixing, it absorbs the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, absorbs the radiance of the sun and moon, and forms another precious Chinese stone species today - Taishan jade. The composition of Taishan jade is mainly quartz, with a small amount of limonite, hematite, and some also a small amount of muscovite and chlorite. After analysis and testing by the Jewelry and Jade Appraisal Center of Guangdong Geological Science Research Institute, the Mohs hardness is 6-7

The reason why yellow wax stone can become a precious ornamental stone is firstly because it is a masterpiece of nature, without any traces of artificial axe carving, which can be encountered but not sought after, and can be called a masterpiece among stones. The second is the unique and diverse shapes, such as animals, humans, networks, and flower clusters. It is truly a masterpiece of craftsmanship, exquisite and delicate, breathtaking. Paired with suitable shelves and placed on top of halls or tables, the room shines brightly, truly loved by everyone. The third is rarity. As the saying goes, "rarity is precious". Yellow wax stone is a rare resource and inevitably becomes the most precious among the expensive. In the yellow wax stone market, a fist sized premium yellow wax stone is sold for over 3000 yuan

Yellow wax stones can be mistaken for real, so we have compiled this article on the methods of identifying the authenticity of yellow wax stones. I hope it is helpful to everyone

Yellow wax stone, also known as Dragon King Jade, is named after the wax like texture and color sensation on the surface of the stone (some say that this stone originated from the Zhenla Kingdom, hence it is called wax stone). It belongs to silicified andesite or sandstone, mainly composed of quartz. The surface layer of oily wax is low-temperature melt, with strong toughness and hardness of 6.5-7.5

Particle size and polished surface texture: High quality yellow wax stone is composed of opal or chalcedony, with mineral particle size generally less than 0.01 millimeters, and particles are generally not visible to the naked eye; The composition of Huangfei is sodium aluminum pyroxene, with a mineral particle size generally greater than 0.01 millimeters. The naked eye can generally see the crystalline particles and the optical properties (jadeity, or jadeity) displayed by the cleavage planes of the particles. That is to say, high-quality Huanglong jade has very fine particles that cannot be seen by the naked eye, so the optical characteristics on the polished surface do not have emerald (or jadeite) or microwave patterns, while Huangfei has emerald (or jadeite) or microwave patterns

Weighing by hand: There is a difference in density between yellow wax stone and yellow jadeite, with the former having a density of 2.60 and the latter having a density of 3.33. This results in yellow wax stone being noticeably lighter than yellow jadeite when weighing objects of the same size by hand

Measuring refractive index: The refractive index of yellow wax stone is 1.54, while the refractive index of yellow jadeite is 1.66. This difference makes the refractive index and luster of yellow wax stone significantly weaker than those of yellow jadeite

Observation of the distribution characteristics of brown iron ore under a high-power magnifying glass: The yellow brown colloidal brown iron ore of yellow wax stone is uniformly dispersed in amorphous opal or cryptocrystalline chalcedony, without showing the characteristic of network distribution; Huangfei's yellow brown colloidal brown iron ore is filled in the interstitial spaces of fine-grained sodium aluminum pyroxene crystals, exhibiting a network like distribution.
