Introduction of Guilin Chicken Blood Jade
Guilin chicken blood jade is a kind of jade produced in Longsheng Autonomous County under the jurisdiction of Guilin City. Guilin Chicken Blood Jade was once called Guilin Chicken Blood Stone, Guilin Ruby, Guilin Chicken Blood Red Jasper, Longsheng Chicken Blood Stone and Longsheng Ruby.
The concept of jade is divided into narrow sense and broad sense: narrow sense jade is divided into nephrite and jadeite, nephrite is Hetian jade, mainly composed of calcium magnesium silicate, jadeite is jadeite, mainly composed of sodium aluminum silicate; Jade in a broad sense refers to fine and beautiful minerals such as texture, hardness, toughness, luster and color.
Chicken blood stone is never called jade because of its low hardness, poor texture and high hardness, but high-quality chicken blood jade has reached the standard of jade in texture, hardness, luster and color.
Guilin chicken blood jade is the product of deep-sea submarine volcanic eruption in the suture zone of ancient geological plates. It was formed about 654.38 billion years ago. It is a kind of jasper rock with chicken blood red as the main color, hence the name "chicken blood jade".
