Volume 1: The Journey of the Emerald Rough Chapter 80: Deep and Beautiful Blood Amber

Yang Hao looked at the amber rough stone in his hand, frowned and asked, "Did she give you a piece?"

This shouldn't be!

If you only give one piece, it is also for Chen Song, it shouldn't be for Chen Song to bring to himself!

"She actually gave two pieces, and the one she brought back to you when she saw that you weren't there. ”

Chen Song said as he picked up the piece of amber rough next to his buttocks and threw it upward.

"I'll just say it!"

Yang Hao saw the amber rough stone that fell back into Chen Song's palm and smiled bitterly.

However, thinking that Aung San Duoyue had not forgotten himself, and specially asked Chen Song to bring back a piece to himself, Yang Hao was still very happy in his heart.

"This amber looks good!"

Yang Hao picked up the amber rough and squinted at the sun.

"It's not bad!"

Liu Yan walked to Yang Hao's side at some point.

"Master Liu is early!"

"Master morning!"

Chen Song and Yang Hao hurriedly greeted Liu Yiyan.

Liu Yi nodded, looked at the amber rough stone held by Yang Hao, and said, "This piece in your hand can be said to be the top pure in the amber!"

"So powerful?"

When Chen Song and Yang Hao heard this, they were both shocked.

Chen Song got up, stepped forward to look at the amber rough stone in Yang Hao's hand, and asked, "Master Liu, is this amber rough stone any famous?"

"Yes, master, I don't think it's anything special. ”

Yang Hao also echoed.

The rough amber in your hand looks ordinary, no different from the usual rough amber.

Liu Yiyan stretched out his hand and pointed to the grid-like lines on the amber rough, and said: "This kind of evaporation pattern with round spots and particles is obviously formed by the evaporation and shrinkage of high-density resin, the skin pattern of this amber looks very delicate, the particles of the epidermis are also very small, and there are no obvious traces on the surface, it is the best skin pattern, plus the puff pastry on it is obviously powdered, and the dust has fallen off your hands, this kind of material looks like blood amber!"

Yang Hao glanced at his hand and found that there was really a layer of yellow-brown powder stuck to it.

I didn't expect Aung San Duoyue to give himself such a valuable thing!

I thought it was just a plain piece of amber.

Chen Song asked, "Master Liu, what is puff pastry?"

"A crust like this is puff pastry, which is a crispier ingredient than a dry ingredient, and it is crispened because the skin is over-oxidized, giving it a granular shape that looks like a crispy and fluffy bread crust that will fall off at the slightest touch. ”

Liu Yiyan stretched out his hand and pointed at the yellow-brown skin on the surface of the amber rough, and said: "The reason for the formation of puff pastry is that the resin is in the oxidation process, and the oxidized color layer penetrates inward, forming a golden, light red, red, and dark red color, because of the different texture of amber, it will bleed honey and blood amber, and this skin has been oxidized to the extreme, and there is no carbon substance on the outer skin, so there must be a top blood amber inside!"

Chen Song nodded understandingly, and asked again, "What is the dry ingredient?"

"Dry material is relative, that is, it refers to the amber that appears in the environment of exposure to the sun or shallow soil, the substances on their skin will volatilize and lose, dry hands, after polishing, the color will be dry, and it will change color after playing for a period of time, which is called dry material. ”

Liu Yiyan smiled: "In the process of amber formation, if the environment is relatively closed, constant, the temperature difference changes, the pressure changes are small, the water and soil and other substances that wrap the amber are relatively pure, and the oxidation or loss of the amber skin is slight, such amber, the content will be very full, there is no volatilization and loss of material elements, and it will be very oily when it is slightly polished, and even the rough skin will have a greasy feeling on the hand." ”

Yang Hao felt the amber rough in his hand and said, "Master, then this piece doesn't feel oily, I'm afraid it's not top-notch, right?"

Liu glanced at Yang Hao angrily, and said: "Your skin has been crisped, and the yellow-brown particles contain the oil after the evaporation of water, and it can be directly turned into powder when rubbed, if you want to feel it obviously, as long as you grind the puff pastry outside, you can see the oily ice crack skin!"

Yang Hao sighed casually.

Let him grind it, he can't bear it!

After all, this is the first gift from Aung San Duo Yue.

Liu Yiyi saw Yang Hao's expression, and said helplessly: "The leather on this amber is not thick, don't you know the texture of blood amber under the strong light!"

"yes!"

When Yang Hao heard this, he immediately took out a strong flashlight from his pocket and shone on the amber rough stone in his hand.

The amber in his hand was suddenly reflected by the light in a deep and beautiful crimson color, giving people a feeling of warmth and purity, red as blood.

Upon closer inspection, it was found that there was not the slightest crack or impurity inside, except for a layer of ice cracks caused by weathering under the puff pastry.

Yang Hao was pleasantly surprised: "It's really a top-notch blood amber, it's still burgundy!"

Liu Yiyan also sighed: "It's rare, it's really rare! Such a big piece of blood amber actually has no cracks in the whole body!"

Yang Hao turned his head to Chen Song and said, "What about your piece?"

Chen Song spread his hand, and Yang Hao directly reached out and took the amber rough stone and shone it with a flashlight.

It was found that although Chen Song's piece was also a deep and beautiful crimson color, in addition to the ice cracks caused by weathering, it was also covered with large and small cracks under the puff pastry, like a spider web!

"This ......."

Yang Hao didn't expect Chen Song's amber rough to be so bad, and it was so heart-rending that it was cracked.

"Hey~ It's a pity!"

Seeing the cracks on the amber rough, Liu shook his head and sighed.

Cracked like this, it is estimated that it is difficult to make a ring face!

Yang Hao asked, "Master, is this piece cracked like this, can it still be saved?"

"It is estimated that the ice cracks on the surface are formed by the oxidation reaction of the iron dioxide contained in the air after contact, this kind of small heterogeneous ice chips and the like are harmless, the key is that the crack inside is too bad, and it is necessary to grind the weathered skin to accurately know whether it can find a small piece of usable!"

Liu Yiyan shook his head and said: "This piece of oxidation is no problem, and the mellowness of the color is enough, blood amber like this is very precious, and it has reached the collection level, but this crack is ...... It's a pity, but there's no way around it!"

Chen Song didn't think so, and asked with a smile, "Master Liu, can you tell me about this amber?"

Liu Yiyan nodded, pondered, and said: "Amber was once called the Tiger Spirit, Yupei, Beast Spirit, Dunmu, Jiangzhu, Yiyu, etc., it is rumored that the tiger died and turned into a stone, or that amber is the tears shed by the tiger, these legends contain the speculation and pursuit of amber by the ancients, implying that amber has the function of seeking good fortune and avoiding evil, and calming the nerves. ”

"It's just that the shape of the amber rough is different, and it is not as regular as the shape of the finished product, and there are different shades of texture on the surface, these lines are formed in the process of amber formation, due to the difference in resin density, plus evaporation and volatilization, the main origins are Mexico, Dominica, the Baltic Sea, and our local this, but our local amber has a wide variety, complex classification, and amber from other origins are very different, subdivided into dozens of varieties, the categories are summarized in the brown and red amber series, Jinpo series, blood amber series, tea amber series, root po series, and even beeswax series, etc., if you are interested, you can study it, in fact, you can identify it when you see it. ”

Liu Yiyan said proudly: "But in terms of fame and high quality, the blood amber we produce here is definitely one of the best, it is no exaggeration to say, it is the most produced and the best quality of blood amber known at present! Often a very large piece of amber rough, after processing, most of the skin and oxide layer will be cut off, according to the crack after cutting, there is almost nothing left, so although our blood amber is produced a lot, the color is also mellow, but the material is small, easy to burst, resulting in the finished product is difficult, so as long as the slightly finished blood amber is larger, the price is very high, and even some can be comparable to the top jadeite!"

Turning his head to look at the uncracked amber rough stone in Yang Hao's hand, he said with a smile: "So this piece in Yang Hao's hand is already a top-notch collection material!"

"How expensive?"

Yang Hao didn't expect the value of this piece of amber rough in his hand to be so high.

In fact, no matter what kind of gem it is, as long as it is the top level, it will not be cheap! Especially amber is one of the seven treasures of Buddhism, wearing amber ornaments can drive away disasters and ward off evil spirits, like the blood amber with the energy of the mother earth, it is believed to be more able to dissolve evil qi, and its treasure light can bring a peaceful aura, which greatly increases people's luck and vitality, so transparent and pure blood amber is often hard to find. ”

"In addition, because its color is the traditional festive color of China, blood amber represents strength, Enthusiasm and vitality, especially after the red star shines on the Chinese country, the red Chinese aggravate people's red complex, as a precious variety of amber blood amber, with its red wine-like mellow and charming red deeply attracted the Chinese people, the charming blood amber is made into a variety of jewelry, not only its own beauty for the wearer's beauty to add luster to each other, but also set off each other, the blood amber has been the perfect interpretation of the word beauty, but because the color is particularly red and no explosion of the blood amber is extremely rare, the price is also normal!

Yang Hao asked curiously, "Since amber is so expensive, isn't there also a fake?"

"As long as there are interests and market things, counterfeiting is normal and unavoidable!"

Liu glanced at Yang Hao and said with a smile: "Take this kind of blood amber in your hand as an example, in the near future, a lot of fake ones have been found on the market!"

Chen Song asked, "Master Liu, how did this blood amber be faked?"

"Through the roasted color, but the roasted blood amber, the color will be black, no fluorescence, you can identify it at a glance, because the natural blood amber will show uneven fluorescence, really good blood amber, it is red, hazy and shy, but it is full of strong stimulation, dangling in the sun, it is directly eye-catching, and the fake is often brightly colored, but it lacks the strength of the jewel light, like a colored plastic. ”

"Master Liu, how does this blood amber rough stone feel different from medicinal amber?"

Chen Song remembered the question in his heart just now.

When he looked at these two pieces of blood amber rough before, he felt that the taste on them was somewhat familiar, but it looked very different from medicinal amber, so he couldn't confirm it for a while.

Yang Hao was surprised: "This amber can still be used in medicine?"
