Abstract:In this study, X-ray fluorescence (XRF) spectrometry, a nondestructive analytical method, was used to test and analyze the components and structures of five Qijia culture jade samples from Ningxia Museum. The analytical results show that the elements and their respective contents of the five samples are similar to those of Hetian jade. Furthermore, based on historical information about the Qijia culture, it can be inferred that the samples are made of Hetian Jade. We also made a comparative study using laser Raman spectrograms of the five samples and a Hetian jade sample. The result shows that their highest and second highest characteristic peaks are mostly similar. The peak of tremolite is quite clear in the spectrogram, which confirms the XRF result. The study provides a vital scientific basis and accurate data support for further research on materials and on the origin of Qijia jade.
