The two said in unison: "Let's talk about the texture of the jade first!"

After speaking, the two of them laughed tacitly.

The transparency of this jadeite is clear at a glance, of course, listen to the texture of the jadeite first!

"Okay, then let's talk to you about the texture of jadeite, that is, the species of jadeite!"

Liu Yiyan smiled and said: "The seed of jadeite is like life for jadeite, the jade without the seed is like a person without a soul, a person without a soul is a corpse, and if the jade is not planted, it is an ordinary stone without spirituality, so in this case, even if it is colored, it is in vain, so there is a saying in our jade world, called no seed and no color!"

"No seeds, no color?"

Chen Song and Yang Hao were a little curious about this statement.

"Yes! The jade world judges the quality of jadeite, the most basic basis is the species, water, bottom, color of these four aspects, and the species is ranked first! All the conditions behind are based on the jadeite species, in the case of the difference, the water and the bottom will definitely not be much better, and secondly, even if it is colored, even if it is full color, it is not too valuable, because jadeite is a kind of colorless value is also high, and the value of colored jadeite is very low, and under normal circumstances, the natural water of jadeite is not bad, but ......"

"But what?"

Chen Song and Yang Hao asked at the same time.

"But now the outside world is more interested in color!"

"So they'd rather have no seed than color?"

Chen Song and Yang Hao couldn't help frowning, puzzled.

Liu paused for a moment, and did not intend to answer this question, but continued: "The species of jadeite is comprehensively reflected and withdrawn through the texture elements such as the delicacy, density, transparency and wear-resistant hardness of the jade flesh in the jadeite, that is to say, the more delicate, dense, transparent and hard the jadeite is, the better its species is, and the worse its species is. ”

Liu Yiyan reached out and quickly sorted out the five green Guanyin pendants on the counter.

pointed with his hand in turn, and said: "The market is generally named according to what they look like, for example, these pieces are dragon stone, glass, ice, glutinous, and bean, in fact, it is literal." ”

Seeing that Chen Song and Yang Hao still seemed to understand.

Liu Yan smiled, put the five green Guanyin pendants on the cabinet back into the cabinet, walked to an iron frame at the back, took out four square pieces of jade wool, and put them on the small table in the room.

Chen Song and Yang Hao walked to the small table curiously.

Seeing these four pieces of jadeite wool, there is no color, but they are all regular, square, the four sides are very rough, and the upper and lower sides are very smooth like mirrors.

One of them is so transparent that you can see the pattern of the table underneath.

"There is no colorless jadeite in the dragon stone, so I won't talk about it!"

Liu Yiyan picked up the completely transparent glass and no impurities and said, "You should be able to see this piece of glass-like material at a glance, right?"

Yang Hao smiled: "Yes, it must be the glass species!"

"Hmm!"

Liu Yiyan nodded and asked, "Do you know what kind of jade can be called imperial green?"

Yang Hao thought for a moment and replied: "Imperial green emerald green is very rich and unique, it is the purest green color in green, and it belongs to the ultimate yang green!"

"That's right and it's not right!"

Liu Yan smiled and said: "You are talking about the characteristics of imperial green jadeite, but it can also be regarded as meeting some of the conditions of imperial green." As we all know, jadeite is respected by green, and it is believed that the green pure emerald color is the best color in jadeite, perhaps because the emerald in the jadeite is very rare, and the green pure emerald is the best color of jadeite, just like the emperor is noble and rare, so people call this green emerald jadeite as imperial green jadeite. ”

"But to meet the conditions of imperial green jadeite is also very harsh, not that the color can become imperial green!"

Chen Song looked at the glass seed material in Liu Yanyan's hand and asked, "Could it be that the imperial green jade requires the glass seed?"

"Yes!"

Liu Yiyan nodded.

"In the Xiangyu world, it is believed that if you don't go to the glass ground, you can't be called an emperor, which means that the imperial green jadeite must be a glass species!"

Liu Yiyan was a little emotional for a while.

"But it is too difficult to meet the imperial green that can really be achieved by the glass species, and the imperial green jadeite is famous all over the world, priceless, and highly sought after by the world.

Chen Song and Yang Hao instantly understood.

Jade merchants pay attention to the catering of the market, if it is really strictly in accordance with the requirements of the imperial green jadeite, it is estimated that you will not see a single piece in a year!

From a business point of view, of course, it is what the market needs to sell, not to mention that the price of Imperial Green Jade can increase a lot just by virtue of this name.

Chen Song asked with some curiosity: "Then why do you say that the other ones that can't meet the conditions of glass and the color are enough?"

"Those can only be called full green! The so-called full green is easy and the emperor is difficult!"

Liu Yan sighed leisurely and said: "The full green is nothing more than taking out the color position on the wool for processing, but the size difference is just the difference in the size of the glass species, but the amount of jadeite mined by the glass species is becoming smaller and smaller, and there is no way to reverse this!"

The emerald vein is completely consumable, and now it is digging less and less, and it is estimated that it will not be long before it will be dug up!

Speaking of this, Liu Yan was silent, and even his spirit was a little trance.

Jadeite is a commodity, of course, how expensive and how to sell, so the name and requirements for the name are not as strict as before.

And with the large demand for jadeite in the market, the mining progress of ore vein resources has also been accelerating, and now some of the ore veins that have not yet formed have begun to be excavated, which is completely the practice of killing chickens and eggs.

This is also the reason why they met the master and felt that the quality of the jadeite dug up was not as good as it was every year.

It is estimated that it will not take many years for these veins to be completely dug up, and then the real dragon stone jadeite and imperial green jadeite will become legendary things, and they can no longer be mined!

Liu Yiyan slowly put down this piece of glass seed material, picked up the piece of transparent piece next to it, and said directly: "This piece is ice seed." ”

"Look at the texture, doesn't it look like a block of ice?"

Chen Song and Yang Hao nodded in agreement.

This piece of material looks completely indistinguishable from an ice cube.

"This kind of ice ground is second to the glass floor, but it is also as transparent as ice as a whole, that is, there is a layer of mist inside, like a state of pure water freezing and stagnancy. ”

Yang Hao frowned and asked, "Master, is it possible that if there is no jade without this layer of fog, it will be a glass seed?"

Liu Yiyan shook his head and said with a smile: "Ha, this is not necessarily!"

"What's that?"

"Ice Glass, or High Ice!"

"Master, how do you tell them apart?"

"Through the texture structure!"

Liu Yiyan put the two pieces of ice and glass together.

Stretched out his finger and pointed to the ice seed sheet and said: "The crystal particles of the ice jadeite are slightly coarser than the glass jadeite, and there is a faint graininess and orange peel effect under the naked eye, and the bonding between the crystals is not very good, there are some tiny white gaps in it, resulting in a short water head and poor light transmittance, similar to the ice cubes in the refrigerator." ”

Then pointing to the sheet of glass species, he continued: under normal circumstances, the water of glass jadeite is far better than that of ice species, the crystalline mineral particles are very delicate and uniform, and there is no granularity visible to the naked eye, and the density between the crystals is also quite good, the overall hardness is high, the water head is long, the light transmittance is good, and the flesh is as transparent and bright as a glass block.

After speaking, Liu Yiyan pushed the two pieces of material in front of Chen Song and Yang Hao.

Chen Song and Yang Hao carefully compared these two pieces of flakes, which are almost the same in size and thickness.

It was found that the texture of the glass flakes is indeed much better than that of the ice flakes!

At the same thickness, the transparency is also much higher than that of the ice species.

The flakes of the glass species are as translucent as glass, while the flakes of the ice species are like ice cubes.

The sheet of the glass species can be directly seen through the pattern under the table, while the ice species has a hazy feeling of seeing flowers in the fog, between transparent and opaque.

Liu Yanyan didn't know when there was a flashlight in a square shape like a box.

He put the flashlight on the glass sheet and pressed the switch on the lower side.

A strong white light shines out, and the glass sheet immediately brightens up like a small light bulb, and a strong and dazzling metallic luster shines around at the position of the flashlight circle, accompanied by a cold, pale blue fluorescence, the more outward, the colder it is.

As the position of the flashlight moved, it seemed to be a group of pale blue ghosts wandering.

"It's amazing!"

"It's beautiful!"

Chen Song and Yang Hao really didn't expect that the jade under the strong light would be so beautiful and charming!

Liu Yan put the flashlight on the jade sheet of the ice seed again.

The metallic luster and fluorescence on the ice seed flakes under strong light appear very soft, and there is no cold feeling like glass jadeite, but it gives people a refreshing feeling of three points of warmth and seven points of cold.

"And between the glass species and the ice species between the jadeite is called high ice, sometimes there are people who use high ice species to pretend to be glass species, in fact, it is also very easy to distinguish, as long as the purity of the jadeite inside does not reach the level of transparency like water, then it basically belongs to the category of ice species. ”

Liu thought about it for a while, put the flashlight on the table, walked to an iron frame behind him, took out three pieces of material on it, put one of them in front of the two, and said, "This piece is!"

Chen Song looked at this piece is also very transparent, and the overall texture is also delicate and pure, without any flaws, but the surface luster is a little lacking in strength.

Curiously, he picked up the flashlight on the desktop and shone it on it.

Under the strong light, this piece of material also has a very dazzling metallic luster, but the fluorescent color is not so blue, but a little white, only a little cold, more transparent and cool.

"Take a picture of this again!"

Liu Yiyan put another piece of material in his hand in front of Chen Song.

Chen Song pointed the flashlight at this piece of material that looked partly clear, partly cloudy, and some of the crystals that were intertwined like ice slag could even be seen.

I saw that the metallic luster of this piece under the light was as soft as weak, and the fluorescence was not strong, but there was a hint of hazy cool beauty.

"Master, what is this piece?"

"This piece is the ice glutinous jade between the glutinous species and the ice species, that is, the ice glutinous species. ”

Liu Yiyan picked up this piece of ice glutinous jade flakes, and smiled at the two:

"Ice glutinous species are like ice with slightly more impurities, the transparency is worse than that of ice species, it looks fluorescent, but it cannot be compared with ice species, and it is very similar to ice jade in some aspects, and the overall jade quality is like translucent glutinous rice soup. ”

"In general, the water and flesh quality of the ice glutinous jade are between the ice and the glutinous species, and some of its properties have reached the specification of the ice species, but the structure is still somewhat within the scope of the glutinous species, which belongs to a product of the transition period, but some people in the jade world classify it as the ice species. ”

Liu Yiyan put the piece of ice glutinous jade back on the table.

Chen Song and Yang Hao nodded understandingly.

To put it bluntly, the ice glutinous species has not fully evolved into the ice species, and it has been excavated.

Chen Song put the flashlight back on the table, and when he put it down, he saw that the internal structure next to the flashlight was not completely transparent, it was in a relatively blurry state, and the whole looked like a piece of muddy glutinous rice soup.

He pointed his finger and said, "This piece of jadeite must be a glutinous seed!"
