和田玉,“中国四大名玉”之一(其三为陕西蓝田玉、辽宁岫玉和河南独山玉)。传统狭义范畴特指新疆和田地区出产的玉石,以和田“子料”为代表闻名于世;广义的和田玉指软玉(真玉)。和田玉虽然因新疆和田而命名,但其本身不是地域概念,并非特指新疆和田地区出产的玉,而是一类产品的名称。中国把透闪石成份占98%以上的石头都命名为和田玉,都在国标范围内。
秦始皇统一中国的时候,和田玉因产于昆仑山被称为“昆山之玉”,以后又因位于“于阗国”境内而被称为“于阗玉”。直到清光绪九年(1883年)设立和田直隶州时,才被正式命名为“和田玉”。
和田玉中的名品,是珍藏于陕西历史博物馆的西汉国宝级文物“皇后之玺”,其质地为新疆和田羊脂玉,是迄今唯一的汉代皇后玉玺,为首批禁止出国(境)展览文物 。2008年北京奥运会会徽徽宝“中国印”,也是采用新疆和田玉作为材料。
和田玉属镁质大理岩与中酸性岩浆岩接触交代而形成的变质岩,内含透闪石、角闪石、阳起石等多矿物集合体,化学成分是含水的钙镁硅酸盐,化学式为Ca2(Mg,Fe2+)5[Si8O22](OH)2,密度为2.95—3.17,摩氏硬度在6.0—6.5之间。
中华帝后双玺
为了在世博会上向全球展示中国皇家文化的精髓,世博《故宫国宝——中华帝后福寿双玺》组成了空前强大的专家团队,由原故宫博物院杨新副院长担纲总设计师,故宫篆刻大师王玉书先生篆刻玺印,故宫博物院玉器鉴赏专家张广文先生、故宫博物院古器物部主任张荣女士任首席收藏顾问,中国玉雕大师顾峰先生雕刻玉玺,99岁高龄国学大师文怀沙先生任文化总顾问,并欣然铭文作序:“玉玺之王,天地齐寿,日月同辉”。
近年来,和田玉的价格涨幅超过百倍,在刚刚过去的2009年,和田玉也没有停止上涨的脚步,据了解,一套名家的四法器售价达180万元,最贵的精品和田玉每克售价超过10000元,比黄金贵四十倍。正是缘于精品和田玉的价值潜力,《世博双玺》一经亮相就受到了许多玉石爱好者的普遍关注,资深玉石专家表示,世博和田玉福寿双玺的“裸玉”价值就已超乎寻常,此次发行的宝玺可能是近年来玉器界大动作。
世博和田玉福寿双玺在取材方面颇为重大,选定我国昆仑山五千米雪线以上的稀有和田玉,是和田玉中的“皇冠级”品种,市面上一般很少能见到“真迹”。和田玉已是我国近乎枯竭的矿产资源,经过这次后,和田玉的矿产资源将更加稀少,日后大到4公斤这样的和田玉恐怕很难见着了,现在和田玉每年的涨幅都在50%以上,老话说“藏玉十年,万顷良田”,说的就是这样的大玉。
青玉是和田玉四大类别之一,主要分布在新疆塔里木盆地之南的昆仑山脉,是和田玉中数量最大的组成部分,其物质成分跟白玉相近,其中,有一部分细腻的青玉韧性也更好。青玉由淡青色到深青色,颜色的种类很多,古籍记载有蚺子青、鼻涕青、蟹壳青、叶青等等。现代以颜色深浅不同,也有淡青、深青、碧青、灰青、深灰青等等之分。和阗玉中青玉最多,常见大块者。近年,见有一种翠青玉,呈淡绿色。和田青玉是和田玉中数量最大的组成部分,其物质成分跟白玉相同或相近,成因与白玉一样,都属于接触变质成因形成,只因含微量元素铁而呈现出差异。
和田青玉被称为帝王之玉:和田青玉在和田玉中是硬度最高的,玉质细腻温润、玉色深重且纯正一致,整体呈现刚劲之气,寓意着基业长青,所以从古至今一直都是国玺的主要选材,历代封建王朝的传国玉玺均为青玉材质,代表清王朝最高皇权的清二十五方宝玺中,有13枚都是青玉玉玺,所以玉器专家都称和田青玉为“帝王之玉”。
俗话说:人养玉三年,玉养人十年,一块上好的和田玉是需要主人费时间费心血一点点养出来的。
无论是手把件还是大体积的玉玺,只要有时间,一定要多拿手盘玩,最好每天一次,用人体的阳气来温养玉,坚持三年,玉中的死气、杂质就会逐渐排出,整个玉柔润棉厚,达到与主人心意相通的基本要求;
玉要避免与洗涤用品接触,洗涤用品中含有大量的化学成分,一旦接触会侵蚀玉石,损害玉石外层,影响原有的色泽度;
玉忌汗和油脂,在接触完玉之后,要拿棉布细细擦拭,否则会使汗中的不良物质侵入玉中,影响玉的养护。
证书说明详细,玉石鉴定结果为和田玉,并带有负责人署名,属于正规证书,出路清晰,可以放心收藏,并带有证书编号。
整个玉玺以描金,红字这种颜色显眼的字体来书写,描绘,与青玉形成了极强的颜色反差,描写的文字苍劲有力,极具书法价值,红黄青,意为福禄寿三全,不仅十分耐赏,且具有不菲的收藏价值。
俗话说人养玉一时,玉养人一生:古医书称“玉乃石之美者,味甘性平无毒”,并称玉是人体蓄养元气最充沛的物质。玉石不仅作为首饰、摆饰、装饰之用,还用于养生健体。自古历朝历代帝王嫔妃养生不离玉,杨贵妃含玉镇暑,宋徽宗嗜玉成癖,玉为枕而脑聪,古代皇帝就喜欢用玉做枕头,中国古代长寿的皇帝都久用玉枕。
文化
文化:油润细腻的质地,“色如截脂”的净白,“常如肥物所染”的光泽,符合中国传统文化含蓄的审美观念,不张扬,不艳丽,不耀眼,用一种“精光内蕴”的美,吸引了中国人几千年。和田玉的美丽之中有一种神秘的魅力,多少人为之痴狂陶醉,千金散尽亦不悔。
古人关于玉有“五德”、“九德”、“十一德”的种种论述,更将玉石的人文内涵提高到了一种神圣的地步。
收藏价值:自古道,“黄金有价玉无价”。这件和田玉玺,颜色是带有油脂光泽的,整体油感足,入手温润,久握存温,且温度流失缓慢,和田玉投资一直都被关注,一篇‘疯狂的石头’报道了和田玉十年涨幅千倍,令人咋舌,如今新疆本地也找不出好的和田玉了,再加上政府禁止开采,形成了十玉九藏的局面,使得和田玉价格水涨船高,加上这方玺题材重大,具有极大的收藏价值。
