1, different ore-drawing environment

As the name implies, "mountain material" refers to the jade material produced in Hetian jade mine. The seed material is jade which is collected from riverbed or riverbed soil and polished by erosion for hundreds of thousands of years.

2, the subtle differences in appearance

Seed material, sometimes called "water seed", is actually the original stone of Hetian jade, which slipped into the river after hundreds of thousands of years of soaking and scouring, and then formed the seed material Hetian jade. Therefore, the appearance will be as round as pebbles, and the surface will have natural luster.

However, the mountain materials have not experienced this process, and they are deeply hidden in the rock mass from beginning to end, lacking external polishing, so most of them are bland, angular, dry and cracked.

3. The difference of jade structure

The density of seed material is obviously higher than that of mountain material because of the extrusion and polishing of external force. In the case of seed material, whether it is green seed or white seed, the internal structure is dense, and the internal structure can hardly be seen with the naked eye. However, no matter how dense the structure is, you can always see the soft texture structure under the strong flashlight.
