Emperor symbol, royal treasures - unveil the mystery of Hetian Huangyu
Topaz is one of the important jade species of Hetian jade. In ancient times, due to the homonym of topaz and "emperor", the output was extremely rare. The value of topaz once exceeded the fat white jade, which became a special object for the royal family.
In the Ming Dynasty, Gao Yan’s "Yan Xian Qing Guan Yu" said that "Jade takes Gansu as the top and sheep fat as the second", and Ganhuangyu is listed as the first in jade, while Yangzhiyu is only the second. The Qing Dynasty "Qing Secret Collection" also mentioned in "On the Jade" that "the jade color is the most like the cockscomb. The yellow is like the steamed chestnut, the white is the second, and the ink is the second." ..." also placed the topaz in front of the sheep fat jade, which shows the historical status of topaz.
The new version of Hetian jade local standard issued by the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region Quality and Technical Supervision Bureau describes the topaz as: light-medium different yellow tone, often greenish yellow, millet yellow, with gray, green, etc., translucent to micro Transparent, fine and dense texture, grease - glass luster, visible cracks, impurities and other defects. According to the amount of sugar color, it can be further divided into topaz and sugar topaz.
Today, what we want to introduce to everyone is a few small topaz works:
Topaz pendant - antique dragon tooth
This piece is small and chic, with smooth lines and antique style. At the top of the handle, the dragon's eye, the dragon's mouth, the dragon's ear, and the dragon's whisk are refined by means of freehand brushwork.

The second piece is an equally delicate and small sugar topaz small corn:
