Chapter 446: Ten Thousand Years of Beeswax

Brother Yu smiled bitterly and took out the carved piece that he had just gotten that was similar to topaz.

"Is there anything special about this topaz?" Andy asked.

After all, Brother Yu had also spoken a few words to the stall owner before, so everyone subconsciously thought that this was really Topaz. If you want to talk about topaz, it is worth more than green jade.

Others don't know, but Andy can't not know, he has been with Populus Hu for so long, and it's not that he hasn't seen topaz, and he probably knows the price of topaz.

The color of topaz is mainly yellow, subdivided into beeswax yellow, chestnut yellow, chrysanthemum yellow, egg yolk, pear yellow, etc., and is divided into different grades according to different colors and qualities, and its price is also different.

Normally, Hetian topaz can be divided into three grades, mainly first-grade Hetian topaz, second-grade Hetian topaz, and third-grade Hetian topaz. Among them, the third-grade Hetian topaz is one of the poor quality of the three grades, the color is light yellow and unevenly distributed, it is waxy luster, and there are many impurities and cracks.

The first-grade Hetian topaz is the best quality and the most expensive one of the three grades, its color is dark yellow and evenly distributed, the hardness is large, it has good toughness, basically no impurities, it is translucent in oil, and it has great collection value.

"The price of topaz should be high, right?" Ah Hao also asked.

Hu Yang first answered Ah Hao's question and said with a smile: "It depends on what quality of topaz, the price of Hetian topaz has been rising all the way with the hot auction market in recent years, and it is said that the current price has risen by three to sixty percent."

In the ordinary market, because the production of virgin topaz is small, most of the material we see is yellow skin, although the price is not as expensive as that of virgin topaz, but it has reached about 500 yuan a gram.

Generally speaking, the common topaz brands on the market are tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands, and the value of some topazes with historical value is immeasurable. ”

"It's so valuable, what about Brother Yu?" Ah Hao looked at the piece of topaz in Brother Yu's hand.

Hu Yang shook his head: "Brother Yu, this piece is not a topaz." ”

"Uh! Brother Yu can also look away, he doesn't ...... jade" As he spoke, Andy didn't dare to continue.

After all, this is a slap in the face, no matter how Brother Yu says it, he is also a craftsman who plays jade carving, and he is also a master-level figure, he can't even look away at whether it is jade or not, this can't be said, right?

Not only Andy thought so, Xu Hong and the others were also puzzled, and the audience in the live broadcast room was even more surprised.

"Alas! Those who drown in the water are often swimmers! This is really not true at all!"

"Maximas have a day when they stumble, don't spray. ”

"Forget it, let's save some face! ”

……

At this time, seeing everyone's strange expressions, Brother Yu smiled and said: "This is indeed not topaz, it is a piece of beeswax, the boss is a little white, I can't see it at all, otherwise I wouldn't have sold it for so much money." Of course, on the surface, this piece of material is indeed not very good. ”

As soon as everyone heard this, Brother Hu and Brother Yu knew that they were kept in the dark.

Many people have heard of beeswax, but many have not.

There's a saying called what?

1000 years of amber, 10,000 years of beeswax!

It's just that this kind of thing has been formed for a long time, right? It's 10,000 years old, so it must be very precious.

Amber, Brother Hu has seen it with everyone before, and he knows what kind of amber is valuable, but how to count beeswax?

"Topaz and beeswax, although they are both yellow, they are very different. In fact, beeswax is also a type of amber, and opaque or semi-opaque amber is called beeswax. Hu Yang said.

He said that at present, on the basis of the more and more refined amber market, the branch of beeswax has been separated. The petrochemical year is also the same as other perkins, the short is 20 million to 50 million years, the long is 60 million to hundreds of millions of years, the common ones on the market are basically petrochemical 20 million to 50 million years old, the longer the petrochemical year, the rarer and more valuable.

The colors of beeswax include egg white, beige, light yellow, chanterelle yellow, orange and other yellow colors.

"What you see now is maroon red. In fact, jujube red beeswax is caused by the darkening of the color caused by the oxidation of the yellow beeswax skin, and because of this, many artificially processed oxidized jujube red or darker beeswax are produced on the market. Hu Yang said.

Suddenly, someone in the live broadcast room said: "I just said, last time it must have been a liar, and he fooled me with a piece of black, and he actually said that it was beeswax, when I didn't know it." ”

It just so happened that Hu Yang saw this speech and said with a smile: "I saw a friend in the live broadcast room saying black beeswax, it's not that it's nothing, you can't rely on this alone to say that people are liars." ”

Brother Yu nodded and explained: "Yellow, red, blue, blue, white, red, black, purple, green, orange, the basic hues of the universe, beeswax are all available, and yellow is the most common. The resin itself is pale yellow, and the deep soil is mostly yellow, which has the greatest impact on the color of beeswax. ”

Uhh

Others ridiculed: Brother, it seems that you really don't have knowledge!

People are not lying, there is really black beeswax.

Hu Yang said something for him: "What the friend did just now is correct, at present, the beeswax resources are becoming scarcer and rarer, especially the famous beeswax deposits have been almost exhausted, and most of the finished products left behind have become the pockets of collectors and are no longer on the market.

On the market, the so-called beeswax that everyone sees is almost all fake, so when buying a collection, try to be cautious. Those that are cheap, try not to buy, it is clear that there are pits. ”

You know, now the beeswax resources are so scarce, and in some places the beeswax is put out like a cabbage, and you have to believe that it is true, then it is really a brain into the water.

The person in the live broadcast room hurriedly spoke: "That's it! 800 yuan for me to buy, it must be fake! I have never seen real beeswax, but I also know that it is a treasure, how can it be sold for 800 yuan? Moreover, he has so many big bags there, it is like doing wholesale." ”

This time, Populus euphratica didn't want to splash cold water on others.

In fact, it is not that there is no beeswax for a few hundred yuan a piece, and the quality is very poor, so it is not necessarily fake. And the high-quality beeswax, like the one that Brother Yu got, is worth hundreds of thousands.

Some top-notch, even millions, tens of millions are not impossible.

Like old beeswax, a small bead may be tens of thousands of yuan.

Brother Yu took the piece he just got and said to everyone: "This piece must be not well preserved, it is usually very dry, etc., causing cracks on the surface."

But that's okay! I'll get it back and it's not hard to recover. ”

He had this faith.
