Tie Dahan originally came to find out first, he didn't know anything about agate slicing, so he was stunned when he looked at it next to him, he was thinking, what's so fun about slicing, it's interesting to play with strange stones.

Of course, he didn't say anything and followed Kowloon home.

Jiulong actually didn't count it in his heart, he didn't know if there was a market for this slice, if it was smashed in his hands, it would be miserable.

Therefore, the first thing I do when I go home is to go to the Qishi network forum to see if anyone is playing this and how the market is doing.

Jiulong asked for a long time, and no one said that he had played with slicing, but in the forum area of the leisure tea house, a netizen's post on the agate picture stone caught his attention.

That's what this netizen said.

Since ancient times, Chinese literati have been particularly fond of strange stones such as pattern stones and picture stones, and have been more regarded as treasures for those pattern stones that have pictograms, peculiar pictures, smooth lines, good textures, bright colors, and can bring beauty.

Because of its excellent texture and beautiful color, the natural pattern of agate is the only one that can form a pictographic pattern (like a person, landscape, flower, bird, fish, insect, landscape, aquatic plants, etc.) in jade, creating an innate potential that is unparalleled in artistic value, investment value and collection value!

China's earliest agate picture stone can be traced back to the tomb of the Han Dynasty, where four agate slices with wave-like patterns have been unearthed, and the agate picture gold belt inlaid with gold wire is extremely exquisite.

In the Tang Dynasty, there was also a national treasure agate cow head cup, which is still treasured in the Shaanxi Museum.

In the historical records of agate natural patterns, since ancient times, Chinese literati and scholars have been particularly fond of pattern stones, and have regarded those pattern stones with peculiar pictures, smooth lines, good texture, bright colors and beautiful sense as treasures and highly respected.

The collection of agate natural pattern stones has become a trend as early as the Song Dynasty.

The Song Dynasty emphasized literature over military force, from the emperor to the subjects, and there were many people who lost stones.

One of the earliest existing stone appreciation monographs in China - "Yunlin Stone Spectrum" (written in Shaoxing in the Southern Song Dynasty for three years, that is, in 1131), the book introduces 116 kinds of strange stones, and 8 of them are agate stones, accounting for the largest proportion.

"Yunlin Stone Spectrum" has repeatedly pointed out that the color of agate is bright and dazzling, at that time, there were villagers to obtain the agate rough stone as big as a bucket, the texture is very white, the polishing presents a dragon-like sinuous and winding pattern, it is the natural pattern of agate, people regard it as a treasure to the emperor, this is the earliest record of the natural agate picture stone in the ancient classics.

It can be seen that in the Song Dynasty, agate was already a popular ornamental stone.

In ancient times, because the agate material was hard and the processing tools were backward, it was difficult to cut the agate into flakes with a primitive saw, so the natural patterns inside the agate were difficult to show.

With the change of the times, there is an electric cutter, which can easily slice agate and display the agate picture, and a large number of agate products such as pendants and ornaments that people can wear and enjoy on a daily basis.

Agate natural pattern stone because of the excellent texture, beautiful color, pattern pictogram Bixiao, in the artistic value, collection value, investment value has an inherent advantage.

Agate natural pattern stone antiquities are too rare, and those that have been handed down to this day are even rarer, and now we can only occasionally see them in the agate snuff bottles in the collection of the Palace Museum.

In the early days, the processing materials of agate were mainly Brazilian agate rough stones mined locally in Fuxin, Liaoning Province and later imported in large quantities.

In the past 30 years after the reform and opening up, it is the peak period of agate slice processing in the surrounding areas of Shijiazi Town, Fuxin Mongolian Autonomous County, Liaoning Province, of which between 1994 and 1998, it is the heyday of agate brand production and sales, and the daily trading of agate chips is less than tens of thousands, and more than 100,000 pieces. Because of the use of Liaoning Fuxin and Brazil imported agate rough varieties - black and safflower, black and white flowers, safflower, through the cutting means to hide in the agate layer between the pattern to the greatest extent in front of people's eyes, coincidence coupled with the rich imagination of human beings, the ancient classics recorded in the flowers, birds, fish and insects, people, landscapes, scenery of the agate natural pattern world, and suddenly appeared in front of the world.

But it is a pity that due to the aesthetic concept of processing at that time, this rare collection was almost ruined - at that time, the processing households generally believed that the agate brand dyed red and green was the most beautiful and easy to sell;

Therefore, they found a way to cover the pattern with highly toxic chemical pigments, which they called "cover color". This misunderstanding of beauty has led to the almost devastating destruction of the natural pattern of agate.

Agate picture stone is a discovery art, people only be good at observing, concentrating on experience, according to the perception of agate patterns and their own cultural accomplishment to discover its connotation, and combined with the real story to name it.

On the quality of the agate picture stone, the benevolent see the benevolent, the wise see the wisdom, think in all directions, touch the scene, feel the elegant and beautiful agate picture, intriguing and far-reaching meaning.

With its poetic and interesting characteristics, the agate picture stone interprets the creation of heaven and the wonder of the earth from the historical, connoisseurship, art, poetry and song connotation.

This natural work has made many masters of Danqing also sigh.

Its innate natural beauty provides us modern people with a broad imagination space.

There is a beautiful and magical colorful world in the agate picture stone, it condenses the aura of heaven and earth, gathers the essence of all things, and becomes a bright star in the ornamental stone family after hundreds of millions of years of evolution.

It is self-respecting and elegant, and it is the most soulful jewel in the world.

The agate picture stone is a treasure-level work of art, which has a lot of room for development of value-added and value preservation.

A painting, a love, a stone, a lifetime.

In fact, fate has long been destined, and it is worth cherishing in your hand.

From his narrative, two things can be determined, one is that someone has been playing in Fuxin for a long time, and they are playing well.

The second is due to the wrong view of the slicing master, either dyeing or "covering color", which spoils the natural picture of the good end, so there are not many good ones in the world.

The picture stones that Kowloon encountered in Onyx Village are all natural, doesn't this mean that the opportunity to make a fortune has come?

As soon as he thought of this, Jiulong's heart itched, anyway, tomorrow is a rest, so it is better to invite Tie Dahan to go with him.

Tie Dahan was obviously impatient when he answered the phone, and he replied: "Agate villages are all processed agate, and it is enough to go once, you have to go yourself." ”

"Don't want to go?"

Kowloon asked again.

"Don't go!"

Tie Dahan replied angrily.
