What is bloodstone?
The bloodstone is a unique jade stone in China. It is a natural mineral aggregate of cinnabar and dickite, kaolinite, etc. It has fresh and colorful color like chicken blood and bright and beautiful like jade. It is produced in the deep mountains of Yuyan, the source of the Zhexi Grand Canyon in Changhua, Lin'an City, Zhejiang Province. It is also known as Changhua Stone.
Among the varieties of Changhuashi, the bloodstone is the most precious. It is a dense block containing cinnabar minerals in chicken blood red. The cinnabar is strip-shaped, blood-streaked, and blood-drop-like. It is called the treasure of the country. According to the written records, the mining and utilization of bloodstone has been nearly a thousand years old, and the Ming and Qing Dynasties are quite prosperous. In the Qing Dynasty, Emperor Kangxi, Qianlong, Xianfeng, Tongzhi and Xuantong all used the bloodstone as the scorpion, and Chairman Mao Zedong used the Changhua Bloodstone. In addition to bloodstone, there are other white Changhua, Huachanghua, and Hechanghua. These gemstones are also an excellent raw material for making stamps and carving various handicrafts, as well as a special culture in the field of stone appreciation.
The bloodstone is the ground stone of the cinnabar strip, and its color is brighter than cinnabar. Because its color is as bright as chicken blood, it is commonly known as bloodstone. The earliest bloodstone found in China is the bloodstone of Yuyan Mountain in Changhua, Zhejiang. Later, he discovered the Bahrain Bloodstone in Bahrain Right Banner, Chifeng City, Inner Mongolia. In the 1990s, bloodstones were found in Shaanxi, Gansu, Sichuan, Hunan, and Yunnan. As the current Changhua cinnabar (mercury mine) is nearing completion, the production of bloodstone is quite limited, and the market price is increasing.
In the shade and the amount of blood, Changhua's bloodstone is thick, while Bahrain's bloodstone is thin, so it lacks three-dimensionality. However, in terms of texture comparison, Changhua is slightly inferior to Bahrain's bloodstone. Tasting a piece of bloodstone is generally good or bad, the more the blood color, the more blood color, the more transparent the color of the stone, the better the quality of the stone. A blood volume greater than 30% of the stone itself is considered high-grade, and more than 50% is a treasure. If the blood color of the bloodstone can have bright and dripping blood, and the blood color is condensed and not scattered, it is the best, but it can be met. Of course, the color and shape of bloodstone are also very different. The color is dominated by bright red, followed by red, and the shape is more expensive, and the strip is second.
The collection of the bloodstone is facing a high-end customer, so there are many counterfeiters. Some professional counterfeiters have used a splicing and chemical smearing method to get a fake bloodstone to the point of realism. However, the general parallel imports can often be seen with the naked eye. The color is often uniform in depth and the touch is completely free of the cool feeling of nature that is unique to the real thing.
