Subject:Genuine Hongshan Jades
Posted By: Virgilio S. Sat, Aug 16, 2014 IP: 49.212.151.77 I have in my possession a few authentic Hongshan culture jade wares collected through 7 years of search, research and trial and error. Please take a look and let me know of your thoughts. |

Subject:Genuine Hongshan Jades, Really?
Posted By: Super Sun, Aug 17, 2014 There is a total lack of bao jiang (that is always found covering the surface of authentic Hongshan jade pieces) on the piece you posted here. The carvings shown on the two holes of your bird especially its edges are highly suspicious to the point of being disappointing. The luster found on your piece is nowhere close to that of any authentic Hongshan jade pieces because such luster cannot be achieved by simply waxing but was a final product of years of manual polishing with animal pelts, grease. This type of superior luster found on many genuine Hongshan pieces cannot be achieved by modern high-speed polishing. |

Posted By: Virgilio S. Mon, Aug 18, 2014 This piece is very beautiful but unfortunately it's broken and glued on the right wing, it has only 4mm of thickness, the craftsmanship is incredible. |

Posted By: Virgilio S. Thu, Aug 28, 2014 Some more pieces from my antique jade collection. Please let me know of your thoughts. This one is a Shang dynasty thearch figurine, there is abundant blood "qin", I'm convinced it was served as burial object. |

Posted By: Virgilio S. Thu, Aug 28, 2014 This one is less complex in form and craftsmanship but the baojiang and the whole feel it gives is quite pleasant to the senses. |

Posted By: Virgilio S. Mon, Sep 01, 2014 Yes that is my website, I'm glad you have found it, I didn't want to post the link to avoid spam and advertisement. |
Subject:Not Genuine Hongshan Culture Jades?
Posted By: Super Wed, Sep 03, 2014 Good catch, Jac. This reminds me a while ago a OB/GYN doctor/jade expert/jade book writer posted his "genuine" Hongshan jade pieces here for discussion and then found out later his primary goal was advertising his so called Hongshan pieces that were on sales in his site. Unfortunately, not only he did not know anything about Hongshan, he did not know anything about jade especially jade material. That was being discovered during profound discussions between him and other members. He called a huge Neolithic piece made of yellow nephrite jade without knowing it was made of cheap serpentine. He did not know there was nephrite jade once mined in Taiwan. To make a long story short, he was not only disbarred but was also being sued for selling fake jadeite jeweleries at skyrocketed prices. |
