About the warts and composition of the silver crown jade
This article brings you knowledge about the silver crown jade, the warts and composition of the silver crown jade will surely bring you help, let's learn about it together!
Abstract:
1. All silver crown jades have warts, which can be called wart silver crown jade.
2. There are basically two types of wart shapes: hexagonal base warts and diamond warts; hexagonal base warts generally have an upward bulge, while diamond warts have a sunken appearance.
3. Most silver crown jades are calabash-shaped, including straight calabashes, typical oblique calabashes (with obvious S-shaped lines), and atypical oblique calabashes (obvious lines in the early stage, tightly packed and not easily visible later).
4. Hexagonal base warts generally combine to form straight calabashes, while diamond warts generally combine to form oblique calabashes.
5. Straight calabashes outline a well-shaped nine-grid pattern overall, while oblique calabashes generally outline a net-like grid.
6. Straight calabashes extend obvious straight edges, while oblique calabashes often accompany ambiguous left and right spirals.
7. Most straight calabashes correspond to 13 ridges, while oblique calabashes are mostly 21-ridged silver, which are generally easier to become large-scale.
8. The hybridization or genetic characteristics of Lophophora in nature are extremely rich, with special cases awaiting further study (such as pumpkin wart large spiral silver, etc.).
The warts of silver crown jade are full of charm and variability. In nature, the distribution of Lophophora is the widest, with most plants capable of self-pollination. The production areas of silver crown jade and emerald crown jade are very small, limited to certain regions in a province of Mexico, and are generally pollinated by different flowers, which also indicates that Lophophora has the strongest habits. In the same breeding environment, Lophophora is more resistant to sun exposure, drought, and cold. In winter, when the temperature drops, the first to freeze may be the emerald crown jade, followed by the silver crown jade, and finally Lophophora. In terms of pollination habits, since most Lophophora can self-pollinate, while silver crown jades rely on cross-pollination, this also leads to the diversity of genetic traits in silver crown jades, making it almost impossible to find two completely identical individuals in the original habitat. Many Lophophora in different regions are basically copies of a single template. However, this does not mean that Lophophora is monotonous, as some regions have cross-pollination dominant, resulting in some Lophophora with small similarities to the pollination and seed evolution of silver crown jades, showing some diversity.
Different environments and breeding techniques can lead to different states of the same warts. Speaking of warts individually, it is easier to enumerate, such as round, oval, diamond, triangular, protruding, sunken, hexagonal, etc., and this is easy to distinguish. The confusing part is the arrangement and combination of warts, along with the variation in hair texture, which can easily lead to confusion.
The shapes of warts are easy to enumerate, but if we dig deeper, the shapes of warts can be basically classified into two types of bases: hexagonal base and diamond base. Round warts can be classified as hexagonal base, and triangular and similar shapes can be classified as diamond base. This is because warts vary in size and bulge, but if a cross-section can be made, the boundary lines of the wart area show consistency. For example, the base line of the large wart silver 'Forever B type' is明显接近 hexagonal base from this photo. Most diamond base silver crown jades have wart hair points that tend to be downward, while hexagonal base warts tend to be upward, which is more obvious when the silver crown jade grows. The reason for first identifying these two bases is to facilitate the understanding of the combination methods between warts discussed later. Based on these two bases, the final combination methods are not many.
Let's start using some pictures to illustrate the points clearly and intuitively:
“Spring and Autumn Pot” with round warts, hexagonal base warts, very upward, large warts actually have both hexagonal base (round) and diamond base.
Forever B type large wart silver crown jade, with obvious hexagonal base:
Diamond large wart silver crown jade, diamond base warts, wart points tend to be downward:

Unfortunately, this year's excessive water growth has caused deformation, and the hexagonal shape is not visible, so it can be said that the change of warts is also related to the breeding technique.
Diamond warts, some are triangular, relatively rare:
Diamond warts:
Large hexagonal warts:
The downward development of the hair points of diamond warts is determined by the shape of the diamond base.
It is interesting that there are also silver crown jades without warts, but it cannot be said that there are no warts, as they are not very obvious. And due to age-related factors, the change of warts may not have grown yet.
Pumpkin lateral bud:
The reason for buying the pumpkin cake was that all the silver crown jades had warts, and suddenly encountering a pumpkin cake without warts felt very interesting. My pumpkin cake main head has started to increase ridges from 13 to 13, and it remains to be seen whether the shape of warts will appear after the increase. Continue to observe.
Why does it seem that the warts on each silver crown jade are different? In fact, the reason for this diversity is that the combination methods of warts and warts are full of variability and diversity, equivalent to a squared level of combination. On Lophophora, ridges are the main body, and warts are mostly interspersed decorations, developing around the ridges. On silver crown jades, warts are the main body, and the combination and evolution of warts lead to changes in ridges. By looking at the constant in the midst of change, in my rudimentary understanding, 80% of silver crown jades can be attributed to calabash warts. The continued combination of calabashes leads to the evolution of ridge changes, and the interweaving combination of ridges and warts leads to overall changes, such as grid patterns, square patterns, etc. Straight calabashes look good and intuitive, and usually, the feeling of ridges is distinct at a glance. Oblique calabashes are also easy to distinguish because they generally intertwine into spirals. Oblique calabash silver is generally categorized into adjacent ridges without any abrupt feeling, especially obvious on large wart silver crown jades. Small wart oblique calabashes generally intertwine with 21 ridges, and the overall look is very dense with a distinct grid-like feeling.
The straight calabash mentioned here basically refers to this type of calabash:
The oblique calabash is like this:
Let's first talk about typical calabash warts, which are also quite common in emerald crown jades. Some warts of silver and emerald crown jades are very similar, even overlapping, which also verifies the conclusion of a previous DNA analysis by scholars that the genetic relationship between silver crown jade and emerald crown jade is closer, while the genetic relationship with Lophophora is farther. Silver crown jade and emerald crown jade can even hybridize to produce offspring. This situation is inevitable.

Surprisingly, it turns out like this when it grows up, thanks to the photo from Master “Yong”, which I daringly引用:
Looking at the typical calabash wart of the emerald crown jade, is it very similar?

Don't stone me for saying that more than 80% of silver crown jades are calabash silver. Excluding the differences in breeding techniques and variety characteristics,放大 the trend of transition and combination between warts, perhaps you will agree with my idea. There are changes and differences, for example, the transition neck of calabashes in some varieties will be very compact and reduced, and breeding techniques will lead to tighter combination between warts. Also, different age stages of fish will have different characteristics. For example, the transition neck of calabashes in the juvenile stage is very loose and obvious, while in the youth stage, it becomes compact, and in the mature stage, due to the increase in the number of wart points per unit area, the shape that leads to the disappearance of the characteristic neck of calabash warts. The huge difference in calabashes lies in the waist of the calabash, which is this position: some calabash waists have a very small transition, and when warts are dense and overlapped, the waist disappears, creating a very granular feeling of individual warts, which is what we commonly call individual wart silver. If the calabash waist is relatively smooth and slender, then over time, the lower part of the calabash waist may not be visible, and even the upper part may still have traces of the waist, making it easier to accept as calabash warts.
The typical calabash warts mentioned above should all be clear. In my understanding, there are only two types of calabash warts: one is straight calabash warts, which may differ from the common view, and the other is oblique calabash warts. Oblique calabash warts are divided into typical oblique calabash warts and atypical calabash warts, which may include both large and small warts.
I have mentioned typical oblique calabash warts before, so let's first look at atypical oblique calabash warts. Before that, let's repeat the 21-ridged silver crown jade, which is a special product of the Lagune region in the Coahuila province. Here, some silver crown jades will reach 13 ridges when they are not very large in size, and they generally present as wartless straight ridges. Here I must mention a photo taken by KK's grandfather:
This photo has been forwarded many times. Pay attention, and you will find that the right bottom corner already has 13 straight ridges with almost no warts, while the left bottom corner has a grid-like wart. This is the feature of the Lagune region, where generally at the size of 8-9cm, the silver crown jades will increase ridges on the basis of 13 ridges and strive for 21 ridges. Suddenly increasing wart points between them will lead to the so-called oblique calabash warts. Look at this photo of a silver crown jade that is undergoing this change:
I also have a double-headed silver, with the small head presenting 13 ridges:
The big head is almost 9cm and has already increased ridges to show calabash warts:
This type of oblique calabash is tightly intertwined, and with breeding techniques, it generally shows a distinct small wart silver feeling, with a strong granular individual wart sensation. In fact, this is also a type of oblique calabash silver crown jade. It generally becomes like this:
Look at these, which are also recently emerged or about to emerge oblique calabash warts, generally accompanied by increased ridges.
Look at several oblique calabashes, as well as atypical oblique calabashes, and you can distinguish them if you are interested. My wild lateral bud can be classified as a typical oblique calabash wart silver crown jade:
“Old Gu”'s超大 wart silver crown jade, also a typical oblique calabash wart:
It seems that 'Monk Brother' has a fish, also a typical oblique calabash wart:
My silver crown jade, actually also an oblique calabash wart, some large wart silver crown jades also have oblique calabash warts:
“Ai Jia”'s corn wart silver crown jade, actually should be an atypical oblique calabash wart, which would be less visible if kept closely together, with a stronger granular feeling:
Also my wild lateral bud, can be classified as an atypical oblique calabash silver crown jade:
This should also be classified as an atypical oblique calabash wart, because the transition lines of the waist are not very smooth, and the individual warts will form a strong granular feeling at the end:
After talking about oblique calabashes, let's look at typical straight calabash warts. Many people think that only calabashes with waistlines can be considered calabashes, while two tightly combined warts are more like calabash warts. As mentioned earlier, diamond base warts mostly combine to form oblique calabashes, while hexagonal base warts mostly combine to form straight calabashes, including so-called large and small warts.
Let's still use pictures to talk, my silver crown jade, straight calabash, round warts belong to hexagonal base:

“Tea”'s straight calabash:
My wild silver lateral bud, can also be classified as a straight calabash, and it will be more obvious when it grows larger or the shape is compressed and water-controlled:
“Old Gu”'s straight calabash, Gu Da has many silver crown jades, and it seems that Gu Da has a special fondness for small wart silver crown jades:
Of course, the warts of silver crown jades are ever-changing, and the photos and things I have collected are only a very small part of them. The inference I have made is that in nature, there may be many special cases, and there will be opportunities to see them slowly. Compared to other plants, the distribution and quantity of fish are extremely widespread, with a distribution and quantity that is not in the same league. The development of fish from obtaining a single奇迹 fish to N garden varieties is due to the large number of hybrids or evolutions that nature has already done. There are very few garden varieties on fish, mainly because of the relationship between the base number and quantity distribution of fish, nature has already done enough hybrids or evolutions, resulting in a very large number of marginal species, such as wart Lophophora, white flower Lophophora, white flower silver crown jade, etc. Actually, many so-called famous-name fish can be found in the wild, and there are also wild large wart silver crown jades. Fish gardening is more about highlighting the physical characteristics of the fish itself under ideal conditions, such as warts, ridges, skin, etc.
The experiences shared here are only my understanding from the past three years of breeding. Perhaps with the沉淀 of breeding time, some of my ideas will be subverted.
