Yu Yao squatted down, naturally because he saw something worth looking at.

Pu Jie didn't pay attention to anything, but he also squatted down with Yu Yao, and muttered, "That thing just now, I think it's a bit old······ How much do you think they'll be?"

Because it is still on the big set, Pu Jie naturally will not say that Ge Yao Xizi.

"It's not expensive, maybe it's harvested by the countryside and the jujubes. Yu Yao turned his head and whispered, and at the same time picked up a blue and white jar at random.

"Maybe there will be a problem when you get it, and you can't see it when you fix it······" Pu Jie was about to say, but Yu Yao gave him a look. It's useless to talk too much, even if people use it to make "clips", you don't have evidence, and this is not the place to say.

In fact, what they were muttering, the stall owner on the opposite side didn't hear it clearly, but he saw Yu Yao pick up the blue and white jar and spoke, "There is a little oil in this jar, I didn't wipe it, and it was used as an oil jar before I received it!"

The stall owner was a man forty miles away, quite wealthy, with a red face and a round nose, like a small landlord.

Yu Yao wasn't originally for this jar, but he stopped suddenly, and if he picked up what he liked as soon as he squatted down, it would be easy to buy and blow up.

"This jar of pictures is very beautiful, but the weight is too light, and it doesn't feel good. Yu Yao smiled, put down the jar, and looked back and forth on the stall.

This blue and white jar should be an imitation of twenty or thirty years ago, imitating the Jiajing official kiln of the Ming Dynasty, but the standard is not high, and there are a bunch of loopholes in Yu Yao's eyes. The carcass of this jar is thicker than that of Jiajing Guanyao, but Yu Yao did the opposite, saying that it was lighter.

The stall owner grinned twice, but his eyes changed slightly, and he said in his heart that this is still too light?

Yu Yao didn't have so many bits and pieces when he went to the stalls, but he was affected by what happened just now, and he always felt that the stall owners were all calculating people with chicken thieves and chicken thieves.

At this time, Yu Yao picked up the thing he had just looked at and looked at it in his hand.

This is a tourmaline seal, carved with a vertical beast button, the lower part is oval, more than five centimeters high, and the oval part. The short diameter is about two centimeters, and the long diameter is more than four centimeters.

The tourmaline seal is placed in the same wooden box with several pieces of agate and jadeite. The reason why Yu Yao can sweep is because its main body is sea blue, which is more conspicuous among the red and yellow agate and the green and white jade.

Tourmaline seal crafts are rare, and there are few imitations, most of them are things that are a bit old, so Yu Yao squatted down.

Tourmaline is a kind of gemstone, there have been many names in Chinese history, these two words, after modern times are fixed and unified, it sounds very tasteful, in fact, its mineralogical name is tourmaline, it sounds much more boring.

The biggest feature of tourmaline is that it is rich in color, red, yellow, blue, green, purple, etc., the more intense the color, the purer the texture, and the higher the value.

Blue tourmaline and colorless tourmaline are relatively rare and are considered the most valuable colors of tourmaline, while yellow and green are the most common. The rose-red, purple-red tourmaline is called "children's face" in China, and the multi-colored mixed tourmaline is called "watermelon tourmaline".

On the whole, the market price of tourmaline is still not comparable to some precious gemstones. High-quality tourmaline once reached a peak a few years ago, and has declined in recent years. High-quality tourmaline beads and pendants are generally a few hundred pieces a gram.

However, there are also top-quality tourmalines, which have been sold for more than 10,000 grams. This can not be generalized, which kind of gemstone top-level goods are relatively special, and they cannot be mass-produced, mixed with a lot of accidental factors.

Judging from the aquamarine tourmaline seal held by Yu Yao alone, it is a high-quality and good material, but it is not very pure, rich and dazzling.

However, this seal has to have twenty or thirty grams, which is not small, and the larger it is, the more difficult it is to have such a quality, and it is not easy to have such a quality with such a volume.

And this tourmaline seal, although the color is not strong enough, but it is also very refreshing, there are some flocculents similar to ice cracks, but it is not messy, a bit of auspicious clouds.

Yu Yao must not have known the inscription before he got started, and after he saw the condition, he first asked the price.

The stall owner offered "10,000 yuan", and he seemed to be quite knowledgeable, "Blue tourmaline is a lustful species, and the price I paid is the material money, not counting the carving and the year!"

What he said sounded true, but Pu Jie was secretly angry on the side: What kind of material does it cost to carve labor, maybe you only spent three hundred and five hundred when you received it!

"Tourmaline is a bit transparent, it always feels weird to carve a seal, besides, why didn't I see the vintage?

"This is an idle chapter, I can't lift it up, but I feel that the pulp is cooked, how can I go to the Qing Dynasty. ”

At this time, Pu Jie pouted, "Yes, you can't go any further, I haven't heard that there were tourmaline seals before the Qing Dynasty." Even in the Qing Dynasty, that is, Cixi's old lady liked tourmaline, so it was promoted. ”

Cixi did like tourmaline, and there was a ten-pound tourmaline pillow with the burial, which is said to have cost hundreds of thousands of taels of silver at that time, but this thing was still missing after the Cixi mausoleum was excavated.

"This little brother, you're not right! At least I know that Qianlong used a tourmaline seal, and He Shen used a tourmaline snuff bottle!"

In fact, the history of the use of tourmaline in China, even if it can be confirmed by historical materials and physical objects, it was also available in the Ming Dynasty at the latest, but it was used as an embellishment on the utensils, and no independent single piece was found. In the Qing Dynasty, long before Cixi, Qianlong, who liked jade, also preferred tourmaline.

Pu Jie grinned, "Then why don't you say that this seal was used by Qianlong?"

The stall owner was choked by Pu Jie, but he was not annoyed, and said with a smile, "I dare to say it, but you have to believe it!"

At this time, Yu Yao suddenly raised his head, as if smiling, "I hold your field and believe you." Can you give me a cheaper price?"

"You little brother, you really can talk. But this 10,000 yuan, I didn't come to the void, you go to the gem market now, buy a tourmaline carving with similar quality and weight, I guess you have to spend this money, right? Not to mention the old thing of the Qing Dynasty!"

"The literati of the Qing Dynasty used either jade or Shoushan Qingtian, and I haven't heard of tourmaline. Yu Yao smiled, "Even if this is a bit of a year, it is estimated that at most it is during the Republic of China, under the influence of new ideas, some people use this transparent blue material as a seal." ”

"Don't you believe me?" the stall owner smiled, "Maybe it's really from the Qing Palace?"

Yu Yao took out a cigarette and handed it over, "Look at it, you yourself said it maybe." Actually, I just like this button, I should say it's a beast, but it's like a little tiger, it's cute. ”
