Research On The Faceting Technology Of Natural Inclusion Crystal

The history of human discovery and use of crystal creation can be traced back to the Paleolithic Age.Natural crystal,as a kind of jade in a broad sense,has been symbiosis with that of jade in the long river of jade culture,experiencing the incubation period of the separation of jade and stone,the germination period of gradual independence,the rapid development of it,and the maturity period of lasting renewal.In the 1990 s,electric carving machine was applied to the jade carving industry.The innovation of jade carving tools made crystal carving begin to be separated from jade carving,and crystal carving process gradually formed its own set of carving style.In recent years,the economic prosperity has driven the rapid rise of the crystal industry,and the rapid development has led to many immature aspects of the market mechanism,among which the most prominent is the phenomenon of heavy materials and light industry under the guidance of the immature market.The comprehensive evaluation of the value of a crystal carving should first be based on the purity of raw materials and the value of the inclusion components.This phenomenon causes sculptors to put artistic value after raw material value in creation,and a large number of inclusions with seemingly ordinary quality but beautiful natural artistic conception are ignored,which is unfavorable to the development of crystal processing.The natural "landscape" inside the natural inclusion crystal is an eternal void space formed by the refraction and reflection of light.In these eternal Spaces,one can feel the miniature of the infinite scenery of nature,which has a huge space for the creation of natural crystal.Lao Tzu believes that everything in heaven and earth is the unity of "nothing" and "being",the unity of "virtual" and "real".With this unity,everything in heaven and earth can flow,move and live forever.The creation of natural inclusion crystal is to unify with the "nothingness" space of natural inclusion crystal through the artificially carved "real" objects.It integrates self-consciousness into the natural "landscape" of natural crystal to realize the blending and interinfiltration of emotion and scenery,and creates a new image for scenery,and creates a spiritual world full of humanistic atmosphere through the integration of nature and artificial.Through the design and creation of the natural inclusion crystal "Chang ’e" series,this paper conducts an in-depth study on the process of natural inclusion crystal.Through this research,the process rules of natural inclusion crystal creation are summarized and formed into a theory,and the theory guides practice,so that more people pay attention to the cultural and artistic value of inclusion crystal,so as to form a good market value orientation.With good market value guidance,crystal engraver will put cultural and artistic value in the first place in the process of design and creation so as to promote the development of crystal polishing process.
