Chapter 313: Emerald
Jia Rudao rubbed his eyes, making sure that he was not mistaken, his mouth was still slightly open, forgetting to close it again, and his eyes were looking straight ahead, as if he was inexplicably attractive.
And the host, after entering the room, negotiated with the staff at the door, followed the direction of the staff's finger, and looked at the appraisal seat on the side of the jewelry and jade group. After a brief glance, he glanced at Jia Yidao's body. For a while, even if she was still standing in front of the camera, her face showed a stunned look!
Jia Rudao smiled bitterly, and I don't know whether to blame her for being an amateur host, or to show that the two of them can meet in such a place, which really gives the two of them a great shock! However, Jia Rudao was still surprised here, and the hostess over there quickly regained her composure! At this point, we have arrived at the scene of jewelry and jade identification, and next, please wait for the experts, what they have to say about this Tibetan friend's collection. ”
After finishing speaking, he naturally took the middle-aged man next to him and walked to the place of the jewelry and jade appraisal seat.
As Jia Nidao expected, the other party did not come to Jia Nidao.
Because, according to Jia Rudao's judgment, if the middle-aged man's hand was holding a box containing jade ornaments, he would not have added a layer of black cloth to it at all!
And if the thing is not jadeite, there are so many experts sitting on the entire jewelry and jade appraisal table, how can it be Jia Yidao's turn to identify. Although, for a long time just now, Jia Yidao was also making a cameo appearance in the identification of jewelry in other jewelry categories!
In the expectant eyes of everyone, the man who was dressed ordinarily, but who was the attention of all the people in the room, came to Lao Wang. Since it was advertised before the start of the antique appraisal event, it was stated that a TV program would be recorded at the site of the appraisal event. When the time comes, if you meet the Tibetan friends selected by the host, you will have the opportunity to skip the queue, and directly let the host lead you to the experts to do an appraisal under the camera! Therefore, at this time, the collectors who were standing in line in front of the appraisal seat are also very conscious to give way to it.
However, the position is given up, and their team is still quite orderly. One by one, they stood on their toes and looked at the middle-aged man. Some Tibetan friends, when they saw the camera appear, also said hello to the camera, so that some Tibetan friends on the side competed to imitate it.
And at this time, the eldest brother who controlled the camera also did as everyone wished, and pointed the camera at everyone in the room and filmed it. Finally, the camera was focused on several experts in the jewelry and jade appraisal seats. Although Jia Rudao's location is the most marginal. However, at this time, Jia Nidao also felt that there would definitely be his own figure in the moving camera!
In the end, under the gaze of everyone, the host took the middle-aged man to Lao Wang, and said to Lao Wang: "Hello this expert, I am Wu Rui, the host of the treasure appreciation activity of Linhai TV, and behind me, he is an enthusiastic collector. ”
Saying that, Wu Rui was very natural, so she gave the camera to the middle-aged man next to her.
"Hello experts, I came here this time, and I want the experts to help identify it, it's a night pearl!" the middle-aged man whispered, "This is what I bought from a Tianguang Market in Guangdong a few years ago." ”
As he spoke, the middle-aged man handed the box he was holding to the appraisal seat. However, even so, the black cloth covering the box at this time was not revealed.
In this way, with a gimmick like "Night Pearl", whether the thing is real or not, it is covered by a black cloth, and for a while, it has caused a great sense of mystery to the scene.
Not only the collectors on the scene, but also the experts of the jewelry and jade group on the appraisal table, when they heard the words "Night Pearl", they were also big for a while.
It's not that the "Night Pearl" is bad, on the contrary, there are many legends about the "Night Pearl". However, the market of "Night Pearl" is very non-standardized. Compared with jadeite, nephrite, bloodstone, Tianhuang, and other jewelry and jade markets that have formed a certain scale, the market of "Night Pearl" is still too early, and even the definition of "Night Pearl" is not very uniform. In this way, in terms of price, it is even more irregular.
All in all, it is not easy to estimate something like the "Night Pearl", no matter who it is. Especially in this era of collecting fever, the price of a "night pearl" is completely up to the hype of the owner. Or, it is to combine this "pearl of the night" with a certain historical story. Then, on the auction house or something, as soon as the price is opened, it is astronomical.
As for whether anyone will actually bid for it, that's another story.
Therefore, when he suddenly heard that Wu Rui chose something like "Night Pearl" this time, the corners of Jia Rudao's mouth also showed a slight smile. Jia Rudao believes that no matter what the reason is for the TV station to find Wu Rui to come over as a guest host. However, as long as it is a woman, no matter how much she knows about antiques, she always has an inexplicable love for things such as "night pearls", jade, and gemstones.
Jia Rudao was even maliciously guessing that if there were more women among the dozen or so hosts, maybe the front of this jewelry and jade appraisal team would be very lively.
"This Tibetan friend, you said that the things in your box are 'Night Pearl', but what is the basis?" Lao Wang pondered, since people were looking for him, he naturally needed to help identify it.
"Of course there is. At night, you can see the light it emitting. The middle-aged man said, "Even in a black environment, it can emit a certain amount of light." As he spoke, the middle-aged man tore off the black cloth very neatly. Obviously, in order to create the fact that the "Night Pearl" can emit light, the middle-aged man has put a lot of thought into it.
When the black cloth was lifted and the box was opened, a stone the size of a pigeon's egg appeared in the middle of the box. Because the middle-aged man did not completely evacuate the black cloth, but still surrounded it half-covered, the experts on the jewelry and jade appraisal table could see that some faint green light emanated from the "Night Pearl".
From Jia Yidao's point of view, it is more like the scene seen when a strong flashlight is used to irradiate the glass jadeite with excellent permeability!
Because Lao Wang is the main identification expert, at this time, he naturally put on gloves, and then picked up the "Night Pearl" with his own hand, rubbed it slightly on the "Night Pearl" with his fingers, and then looked at several identification experts on the side, and said: "There is no phosphor on it." After that, regardless of the reactions of the experts, he began to use a magnifying glass to check at the "Night Pearl".
While looking at it, he said: "Judging from the surface of the ore, it is not very slippery, and the original veins of the surface layer are relatively clear...... and then, from the side of the appraisal seat, he brought a microscope, this thing, the entire appraisal conference has not been used several times so far.
However, perhaps because of the participation of the TV station, or because of something like "Night Pearl", there is not much spectrum in his heart, and for Lao Wang's actions, every appraisal expert present nodded as if by default. For a "night pearl", if the surface is coated with a layer of phosphor, which can light a substance, this is the most common means of fraud. Therefore, at the beginning, Lao Wang would put on gloves and touch the surface of the "Night Pearl".
If the counterfeiter spends a little bit of relatively high cost to inject a light-capable substance such as phosphorescent powder into the interior of the Night Pearl, then such a fake "Night Pearl" can even be light for up to one or two years!
"By the way, this night pearl, after it arrives in your hands, how much time has it been? Is it always light?" Uncle Zhou Fugui looked at Lao Wang's appraisal moves, and he was idle anyway, so he asked.
"It's been two to three years. The middle-aged man pondered for a moment and said, "It should be two years and eight months, and it has always been light." As he spoke, the middle-aged man's face showed a hint of excitement.
Obviously, he has great expectations for this "pearl of the night"!
"There shouldn't be any signs of fraud on it. After Lao Wang finished inspecting it, he said, "In its interior, there is no scene of chemical invasion, and there is no physical damage!"
"So, is this really a priceless 'Night Pearl'?" Wu Rui held the microphone in one hand and asked Lao Wang, "May I ask the experts, what is the reason why the 'Night Pearl' can emit a certain amount of light in a dark environment?"
That's a good question. Lao Wang put down the tools in his hand with a smile, and also transferred the "Night Pearl" to other experts to see, before replying, "In nature, there are many ores, all of which are light, such as fluorescent stone! Moreover, in the academic circles, the definition of "Night Pearl" is very vague, and it is difficult to say clearly, fluorescent stone, it must be "Night Pearl". Specifically, though, the 'Pearl of the Night' should be at least a bead, not a stone. ”
For this, after hearing Lao Wang's explanation, everyone smiled kindly.
And the one in front of me, although in form, can indeed be regarded as a bead. However, its essence is still a stone. Lao Wang said, "Just like jadeite, all the jadeite bead chains, the beads on it, if mixed with some impurities, will make the jadeite beads look, very dull, the color is also very dull, such beads, although it can be called 'jadeite beads', the same, its composition is still the existence of stones, if you really want to distinguish specifically, it is still not a ...... of 'jadeite beads'"
Seeing Lao Wang talking eloquently over there, while Wu Rui and the others looked eager, Jia Rudao smiled slightly in his heart. Don't look at what Lao Wang is talking about, it's a bit far, and even said that it has nothing to do with the "Night Pearl" on the jade, which is a bit of a change of concept. However, such an example, to explain, is more vivid.
Otherwise, Lao Wang just explained that the one in front of him is not a "night pearl", but a "fluorescent stone" or something, which will inevitably make people a little puzzling!
"That is to say, this 'pearl' is not the pearl of the night?" Wu Rui asked at the end of the camera. In an instant, the lens of the camera was aimed at Lao Wang, obviously hoping to hear Lao Yu's exact identification answer.
However, as for whether it is a "Night Pearl", with Lao Wang's experience, he will naturally not answer with great certainty, and quickly diverted the topic, and asked the middle-aged man: "Regardless of whether this thing is a 'Night Pearl' or not, I want to ask, when you collected this thing, have you ever seen it, in a completely dark environment, without relying on other lights and the like, can it still be light?"
"Naturally, I can. The middle-aged man seemed to have some slight words about the expert's appraisal, but he also answered Lao Wang's question more affirmatively.
"If that's the case, I'd suggest you go for a radioactivity test. "If this thing can emit light without the help of external energy, then it is likely that there is radioactive material in its composition." If exposed to it for a long time, it is harmful to the human body. ”
"Radioactivity detection?" The Middle Eastern man was slightly stunned when he heard this!
"Yes, radioactivity. Lao Wang said with certainty, "Many of our jewelry and jade identification work needs to rely on precision instruments. Today, because it is at the site of the appraisal conference, due to the limitations of the venue, most of the instruments here are relatively simple, so I still recommend that you go to some testing centers and do a careful test. ”
As for radioactive materials, the harm to the human body, there is no need for Lao Wang to talk about it here. Seeing that the middle-aged man's face immediately changed, he could understand it!
"Then may I ask the experts, can you help with this 'Night Pearl', I don't know what it's called now. The middle-aged man touched the back of his head helplessly, causing everyone to laugh kindly, when he heard the word "radioactive" before, he subconsciously wanted to stay away from some "night pearls" moves, and at this time, it can be regarded as a slight change. The middle-aged man smiled bitterly, but still asked, "Please also ask the experts, can you estimate the market price for it?"
"That's hard for us to say. Lao Wang hesitated a little and said, "As for the valuation of the 'Night Pearl', I think that in the jewelry and jade industry, there should be no one who has the ability to estimate it accurately." ”
Anyway, appraisal experts also have questions that can't be answered, even if the TV station is recording, Lao Wang is not afraid of being laughed at by others. On the contrary, as long as you are a little more knowledgeable, after listening to Lao Wang's candid words, maybe you can add a lot of good impressions.
"However, to be specific, first, it depends on whether this thing is radioactive and whether it is harmful to the human body. Lao Wang then explained, "If there is no harm, it is also very good to collect it and enjoy it at night." Although it is not necessarily the so-called 'Pearl of the Night', it is certainly nothing fake. To be exact, this should be a type of fluorescent. It's just that, judging from your answer just now, there is still a high probability that fluorescent stone that can emit bright light without the activation of external energy, and it has the ...... of radioactive substances."
Like this, even if it is an ore expert, he has not yet studied it clearly, and Lao Wang is just stopping at the point.
Although, after hearing Lao Wang's words, most people will have a slight sense of disappointment in their hearts. After all, something like the "Night Pearl" is too attractive. It's just that the wish is beautiful, but the reality is cruel. If something beautiful is harmful to the human body, it is better to stay away from it for a while.
On the contrary, people like Jia Yidao, who have a certain understanding of jewelry, are not too disappointed at this time!
At this time, Wu Rui could still think that he was a host, and he explained his understanding of "Night Pearl" to the camera, and finally, he said: "It seems that beautiful jewelry, for us, is sometimes still thorny, just like a beautiful rose!"
As he spoke, he also showed a bright smile, which was quite playful!
Jia Rudao glanced at her, and suddenly felt that Wu Rui in front of him had a bit of the temperament of a host.
Thinking of what Ji Yanran said, Jia Rudao pondered, should it be Wu Rui's own profession, or a host, right?
