A few people were about to go out, and Ma Lao walked in.

He said with a look of shame: "Boss Liu told me, you help him choose the stone, I won't come forward, but I still have to make some efforts, I will teach you a lesson, and teach you the unique knowledge of my life." \“

Hu Shengsong was very reluctant: "Old man, you better carve out our bracelet pendant quickly, I am not as good as you in terms of experience, but in the battle last night, I want to come to our brothers' actual combat experience is not much worse." \“

In a word, Ma Lao couldn't get off the stage, Li Moyang hurriedly stopped Hu Shengsong, he let Ma Lao into the guest room, sat on the sofa, made tea and poured water, respectfully, and gave Ma Lao enough face. He smiled and said: "Old Ma, to be honest, we really don't have theoretical experience, so let's delay your time, give lessons to our juniors, and let us also add some background." \“

Ma Lao's face finally turned clear, he actually came, first, he was a little sorry for Boss Liu Qing, and secondly, he also wanted to make up for Liu Qing, in short, it was not appropriate for him to come forward to collect the rough stones of each family, so he could only use this method to help Li Moyang and a few of them, which could be regarded as helping Liu Qing.

\"Well, in fact, I am very optimistic about you, youth is the biggest capital, then I will talk about it, what is gambling stones?\" Ma Lao took a sip of tea and talked about his thoughts.

We have a saying in the industry called "the gods are difficult to break the inch of jade", the color of the jadeite wool is difficult to distinguish, it can be said that no expert can definitely distinguish the jadeite wool inside is the material or the waste. Therefore, the industry calls buying wool "gambling stones".

Actually, I've been playing this since I was a kid. Often with the adults to choose wool, the people who sold jadeite wool were Burmese Chinese, and many of them usually opened their own mines and transported stones to sell, so it was the most direct channel to find good materials. \“

Li Moyang asked modestly: "Do you have any experience in gambling stones?"

Ma Lao also did not hide his private words: \"I usually have to distinguish the color of jadeite wool from four points. First of all, it is necessary to understand the origin of jadeite, which mine in Myanmar it comes from. Different export characteristics are different, such as the jadeite water of the production port is too tender, not good, and some of the jadeite seed water of the production port is old, the value of jadeite is much higher.

Secondly, it is necessary to see whether there is a "python belt" and "loose huā" outside the jadeite wool. If there is a pattern like python skin or a pattern like a pine huā or both, it is a good material.

In addition, there is a saying in the industry that "green follows black". If there is a black part outside the jadeite wool, it is likely to be green jadeite, and the emerald green is the upper grade of the jadeite. In addition, use a high-brightness flashlight to irradiate the stone to see how light transmittance, the more light translucent it is, the higher its "water", the higher the quality of jadeite. \“

Li Moyang understood: "I see, then how should we judge the jadeite file?"

Ma Lao took a sip of tea and said: "Usually when we look at jadeite, we will measure the value of a jadeite artwork from its five aspects: "species", "water", "bottom", "color" and "work". "Water" and "species" are different from one another, but the most commonly used terms here are: "species" is divided into "glutinous species", "glutinous ice species", "ice species" and "glass species", which refers to the thickness and size of the crystalline granules. Generally speaking, the smaller the crystalline particles and the finer the texture, the better the species, and conversely, the larger the crystalline particles, the worse the species. "Glass species" is the most high-grade jadeite species.

"Water" is usually divided into one, two, and three parts of water. Usually irradiated with a flashlight, see how many millimeters the light can pass through, the higher the number of millimeters, the more "head" the jadeite product "head" is.

The base and color are both considered for the overall quality of jadeite. The "bottom" is the "tray" that sets off the green, which is a comprehensive consideration of some water species other than green. And "color" is to "green" as the precious, green as the respect, emerald green is the highest state of jadeite.

"Work" naturally refers to the workmanship of jadeite products, which must be identified from the two aspects of "shape" and "god". If it is also a carved dragon, it is necessary to investigate the carving process in its subtleties, such as the fineness of the dragon's whiskers and dragon scales. "God" looks at the expressiveness of the carving, and looks at how its "aura" is.

Ma Lao said that he was interested here, and he didn't hide his selfishness, and began to talk about it, Hu Shengsong and Song Yiming, together with Li Moyang, who had been very interested from the beginning, were all fascinated.

The jadeite gambling stone technique is mainly based on the gambling color, and the jadeite gambling stone is actually the raw material in the jadeite rough. There are two kinds of jadeite rough stones: mountain material and baby material. The mountain material is directly mined from the jadeite mine, there is no outer skin, the shape is irregular, there are many edges and cracks, the structure is rough and loose, the quality is not very good, and it is not a gambling stone.

Raw material, that is, jadeite gravel. This is the formation of jadeite, a rock that rolls down the hillside after weathering and breaking, and is carried into a ravine or creek by floods or river water. In the process of rolling handling, the edges and corners of the jadeite ore fragments are rounded, and the original cracks or loose parts are worn off or collapsed. At the same time, the surface is weathered into a layer of skin of varying thickness, so that the jadeite fragments become almost round or oval gravel wrapped by the skin. Gravel can be large and small, the largest ones can be thousands of tons, or even tens of thousands of tons, and the small ones are as small as the size of a thumb.

In the jadeite raw material trading market, most of them are raw materials, that is, jadeite gravel. Because the surface of the gravel has a layer of weathered shell covering, can not see the internal situation, people can only according to the characteristics of the shell and the local "door", with their own experience to infer the advantages and disadvantages of the jadeite inside the stone.

This makes it quite difficult to identify the quality of jadeite raw materials in the transaction of jadeite raw materials. This kind of transaction is quite similar to gambling, so people call the raw materials of jadeite with skin as gambling stones, gambling materials or gambling goods, and this kind of business practice is also called gambling stones. Since it is a gamble, no one is sure of winning, even experienced experts, and it is inevitable that there will be times when they look away, which is quite risky.

However, the excitement of gambling, the mystery of gambling, and the pleasure of gambling for the pleasure of gambling drive many people to engage in the gambling industry. Therefore, it is not uncommon for someone to become a millionaire in the blink of an eye, and someone can go bankrupt and become a millionaire in an instant.

Gambling stones are often based on gambling colors, betting on positive colors. In addition, there are those who gamble on the seeds, which should be good, old, and lively; those who gamble on the land are fine, watery, and clean; and there are also those who gamble on cracks, fog, and ringworm. It's hard to bet well, so people say "nine out of ten bets lose". In the jadeite trading market, most of them are jadeite raw materials, that is, jadeite gravel.

Because the surface of the gravel is covered by a layer of weathered shell, you can't see the inside of the stone, that is, with the development of science and technology today, there is no instrument that can penetrate the shell and see the advantages and disadvantages of the jadeite inside the block. Therefore, in trading, people can only judge the good and bad inside it by betting, so there is the concept of "gambling stones". Therefore, people call the raw material of jadeite with skin as gambling stone. Since it is a gamble, no one is sure of winning, even experienced experts, it is inevitable that there will be times when they look away, which is quite risky. However, the mystery and fun of gambling stones make many people choose to gamble on stones.

Although gambling on stones is a civilized "gambling", outsiders call gambling stones a "madman" business: "a madman buys, a madman sells, and another madman waits." It can be said that it depicts the "true" state of this line in three parts. In the gambling stone circle, people often hear that so-and-so made a fortune because of gambling on a big stone, and rarely hear that someone went bankrupt, went crazy, and committed suicide because of gambling on stones, just because in this circle it is customary to only talk about success and rarely talk about failure.

In the past, I often saw a madman in his 30s on Tengchong Street, he didn't speak, his clothes were dirty, he just waved with his two hands, and gestured to chop things. It turned out that he had lost his blood and bought a jade rough stone with more than 20,000 yuan, and had high hopes, but he asked the jade worker to solve it, but it was a stone, not worth a penny. More than 20,000 blood was gently buried by this knife. This knife severely damaged his brain nerves, he went crazy, he couldn't go home, and then he slashed with his left and right with his hand, which was miserable.

When Ma Lao said this, everyone sighed, and Hu Shengsong said with palpitations: \"Gambling on stones is risky, please be cautious when entering the industry!\"

Hu Shengsong's attitude just now was a little rejected, and this will make Ma Lao finally have some recognition of Hu Shengsong.

\"Time is tight, you have to go out to choose the original stone, I will mainly talk about the difference between real and fake gambling stones, remember, this is the most important." \"Ma Lao has been getting old habits for many years, and he can't change them, so he began to sell them again.

Li Moyang didn't care in his heart, he had remote sensing function, and fakes couldn't fool him, but it was always right to learn more knowledge. Hu Shengsong and Song Yiming also put away their contempt at this time and listened to the lecture with an open mind.

Ma Lao was very satisfied with the state of the three young people, and he explained in detail how to distinguish between real and fake gambling stones.

The buying and selling of jadeite rough is the most mysterious transaction in the jewelry industry, and her mystery lies in the word "gambling", so the buyer has the saying of gambling jade and gambling stone.

Many old pits often have a layer of shell on the surface, due to oxidation, the shell has become brownish-red, brownish-black or other variegated colors, generally only from the appearance, can not see its "Lushan" true face at a glance, even if it comes to science and enlightenment, today, there is no instrument can quickly judge through this shell is \"Baoyu\" or \"ruined\". Buyers of jade must judge the value of the jade from the rough stone covered with the skin, and sometimes also from the skin, to erase the small pieces of the skin to reveal the jade.

This process of buying and selling is the process of a buyer and a seller competing for a piece of jade with skin. After gambling on the stone, Burmese jade merchants generally do not dare to be present in person when they actually cut and process, but burn incense nearby and ask God for protection. If there is a lot of clear green in the cut gambling stone, you can become a rich man overnight, which is called "gambling up"; if the gambling stone is cut after its essence is a piece of gray sand with green outside and white inside, it will be bankrupt overnight, and the jargon is called a shoulder.

Since the Qing Dynasty, jadeite has become a high-grade jade species loved by Chinese people, and it is also a fake of various jadeite from the Qing Dynasty. Therefore, the phrase "jade has no expert" not only illustrates the complexity and diversity of jadeite varieties, but also shows the cleverness and variety of various counterfeiting techniques, especially the development of modern science has made some fakes reach the point of being fake, even connoisseurs sometimes have to fall "eyes".
