Liu Lao is worthy of being a lover of strange stones, and in his place, all kinds of strange stones can almost open a miniature strange stone museum, right?

"Lao Liu, you can't fool this guy, right?"

On the left side of the hall, there is a row of tables and high stools, on which are placed some porcelain, many of which are rare varieties, all dynasties, the most in the three dynasties of the Qing Dynasty.

However, it is not the porcelain that attracts everyone's attention, but the area next to it where various jade and stone carvings are placed. In the middle of it, there is a red coral Buddha statue with a height of more than 20 centimeters, which is very impactful.

You know, red coral is also an organic gemstone, generally speaking, natural gemstones, are calculated by grams, the bigger the size, the value has been increasing geometrically.

Red coral grows very slowly in the deep sea, and is only produced in the Taiwan Strait, the Strait of Japan, and the Baltic Strait, and the number is very small, so gem-quality red coral is extremely precious and loved by collectors and speculators.

Red corals do not grow to twenty or thirty centimeters, but most of those are tree-like and have a large space for hollowing.

And this red coral, carved with the Buddha standing on one hand, smiling, and a lotus platform underneath, which is obviously carved and processed. The whole Buddha statue is round and lifelike, and I don't know how many leftovers have been removed to carve such a masterpiece?

Red coral and gold, silver, pearl, agate, amber, glass and listed as the seven treasures of Buddhism, since ancient times has been regarded as a rich and auspicious thing, which can be carved into a Buddha statue, more auspicious meaning, its preciousness is self-evident.

What's more, this entire Buddha statue weighs at least one kilogram or more, right? It's simply unprecedented, how can they not be suspicious?

"What are you fooling people? I'm a genuine top-notch red coral, don't touch it, be careful with me, and come one by one." Zhou Lao drove a group of elderly people away from the counter and left a space. If it is accidentally broken, who will he go to reason?

"That's right, it's really red coral, the level has reached the sardine level, and the color is full and pure, the surface is evenly distributed, it's very rare, where did you pick up Lao Liu?" Qi Lao put on reading glasses and observed for a while, his eyes were full of admiration and envy.

Red coral can be divided into Aka red, dark red, dark red, with the highest value, mostly produced in Japan and Taiwan, commonly known as "ox blood red"; MOMO RED, PINK OR ORANGE RED, ANGEL SKIN RED, ALSO KNOWN AS ANGEL SKIN, PINK, AND THE MOST MINOR PINK AND WHITE.

Although this red coral Buddha statue is not the top Aka red, it is extremely rare to have this size. Everything can't be perfect, such a volume, really to reach the top crimson, and Tianli?

"What are you talking about? I spent tens of millions of dollars, and begged for a long time, and I came to the door several times to get it, and there was a gringo who robbed me at that time, and if I hadn't bid generously, I would have almost missed it. Liu Lao was extremely angry with Qi Lao's words, and said indignantly, this is one of the few pieces he is most proud of here, and it is also his glorious achievement.

"It's really not like it's fake, Lao Liu, you finally didn't look at it this time. An old man also came to a conclusion after reading it.

"What do you mean? I often punch my eyes? You old guy, your eyesight is not as good as mine?" Liu Lao was a little angry, blowing his beard and glaring, as an antique collection, the most unbearable thing is to be doubted about his eyesight.

Besides, he doesn't know how many times he has studied everything in his collection here, so if he really wants to be eye-catching, he has already discovered and dealt with it, and he still stays here to show ugliness?

"A few old people, how can this red coral distinguish the real from the fake?" Wang Zhiwei asked, he had been cheated before, and he had a lot of money, although he also made up for the relevant knowledge at that time, but he almost forgot about it. Moreover, the views of the elderly here must be more profound, and it is also good to learn from experience.

For a long time, due to the preciousness of red coral, some profiteers have frequently faked red coral, imitated red coral or shoddy it, and made huge profits.

The most common is the coral bead chain made of sardine coral pretending to be Aka coral, Aka red coral is very rare, now on the market, even in high-end shopping malls, selling red coral counters, where the coral bead chain, 90% of them are sardine red coral, most of the so-called Aka coral bead chain, in fact, are sardine corals pretended. Don't think that if you have a fame, a brand, a certificate, or something like that, you won't cheat people.

"It's not very difficult to distinguish the authenticity of red coral, as long as you have the heart, most of them can be distinguished. The ways to distinguish are nothing more than looking at the texture, looking at the color, listening to the sound, and weighing the weight. ”

A few old people are not hesitant to teach, and some people are willing to learn, and they must be willing to teach.

"Red corals have longitudinal stripes that are parallel to the direction of coral growth, and they are tightly arranged, with rings like tree rings on the cross-section. Its color is a vivid red with a bright waxy luster, while dyed red coral is dull or inconspicuous and the color is stagnant. ”

"Moreover, the color of coral is layered from the inside out, and the inside and outside are uneven, and if the color of the coral is consistent inside and out, it is almost a fake. If you look at the Buddha statue, although it looks uniform on the surface, if you look closely, is the color on the inside a little different from the color on the outside? ”

Han Qiuyu added that he also has some research in this regard, just because the old man in the family is extremely keen on red coral.

"Then there's the sound, the real coral looks delicate but has a crisp and hard sound when it collides with each other. Generally, plastic or other imitation coral does not have this kind of hard and crisp sound. In addition, coral has a good sense of weight, generally placed in the palm of the hand will give people a sense of heaviness, which does not match its external delicate feeling, which requires a lot of practice and familiarity to grasp, and it is not something that can be clearly explained in a few words. ”

"There are so many methods and details that it's useless to just talk about it, but if you're interested in it, pay a little more tuition, and you'll be able to learn. Young man, you don't lack that money, right?" said an old man disapprovingly, which of them here didn't come over like this?

To put it lightly, it's not your money, of course I don't know how distressed, Wang Zhiwei won't spend this unjust money, he is not very interested in this, but sometimes he buys it and gives it away, for fear of being embarrassed, so he just learns from it.

It is Zhao Tianming who has benefited a lot, it is precisely because of the ears and faces of these predecessors, going in and out of various occasions, and seeing all kinds of things, that he can grow rapidly, and his knowledge and knowledge will go thousands of miles, and he is no longer the country boy who has never seen the world before.
