Episode 200 Crowskin Stone

The jade in Taishan is not as concentrated as the jade in Fujian, Henan and other places, but is scattered in beaches and mountain pits within a radius of tens of kilometers, and the government is not easy to manage.

Kowloon finally knew that Taishan jade was indeed found in the sea, but there were also a lot of them in the pits.

"Now in Naqin, you can casually meet a boss of millions or even tens of millions. ”

Ah Fu said that in the past two years, more than 40 vehicles have been added to the village, many of which are more than 300,000 or 400,000.

Many villagers have built three- and five-story bungalows along the road, and some have even invested in hotels.

There are stories everywhere about picking up stones to make a fortune, from Liuzhou to Longling, Jiulong is tired of hearing it, why can't this good thing be their turn?

Perhaps, I was born at the wrong time.

Forget it, forget it, it's still important to get down to business.

"Ah Fu, you have said so much, I just want to ask, what are the characteristics of Taishan jade. ”

If you don't even know what Taishan jade is, Jiulong won't buy it.

Ah Fu reacted immediately and said with a smile: "There are four main characteristics of Taishan jade:

"One is its rich and diverse colors, people who don't know it, at a glance they think it is Shoushan stone, red, white, yellow, orange, brown, black, blue, gray and other colors and Shoushan stone comparison, although not the same, but Shoushan stone has the color can be found in Taishan jade.

"The second is its texture, Taishan jade is held in the palm of the hand, which makes people feel round and smooth.

"The third is its luster, Taishan jade luster is restrained and not dazzling, gentle and subtle, it looks like it has a pleasant and comfortable effect, according to the classification of luster in gemology, it belongs to waxy to grease luster, with the same luster characteristics as Shoushan stone and Hetian jade.

"Fourth, its toughness, master craftsmen in the process of making Taishan jade, have found that its toughness is particularly strong, people's fine hair can be carved to very fine and not easy to break, in the Chinese jade category, only Hetian jade can be compared with it, and at the same time in hardness and stability higher than Shoushan stone.

If the mineral composition of Taishan jade is subdivided one by one, you will find that it contains about 90% cryptocrystalline quartz, but also contains 3%~6% sericite, about 2% illite, 2% chlorite, and a small amount of iron, manganese, tin minerals, of which sericite and illite play a key role in it. ”

According to Ah Fu, Taishan jade will not lose to Huang Longyu, just take it as true, Jiulong changed the topic: "How much is a piece of Taishan jade worth now?"

This is Kowloon's main concern, and if it is too expensive, he cannot afford it.

"According to the quality, 1,000 yuan is not expensive, 10,000 yuan is not unusual, and only 10,000 yuan is a heavenly artifact. ”

Ah Fu's answer is not leaky, it is really cunning enough.

"Can you tell me, how expensive, how expensive?"

Kowloon had no choice but to continue to ask.

"Let me give you an example, a friend of mine, Ayou, is from Wenzhou, Zhejiang, and has been dealing in jadeite for nearly ten years, and about three years ago, he started to come into contact with Taishan jade.

By chance, he came across a 20-kilogram stone in the market, which made him make a lot of money on Taishan jade.

"It was 2007, the seller offered more than 200,000 yuan, and Ayu counteroffered 120,000 yuan.

Ayou later took it to the Fujian arts and crafts master Wang Zhongzhong, carved it, and the labor cost was 80,000 yuan.

It is precisely because of his experience in the jade industry that Ayou sees business opportunities in Taishan jade.

He sent this stone to the selection of the Tiangong Award for Chinese jade carving and stone carving works, but he didn't expect to win a gold medal.

And this stone has also gone from carving to Tiangong Gold Award work, and the price has skyrocketed.

"There is one in Zhejiang who is also engaged in collections, after knowing this situation, he asked Ayou to ask, at that time Ayou was unwilling to sell it from the heart, and the final price was 2.6 million transactions.

"How about it, Taishan jade is worth enough. ”

When Ah Fu said this, he smiled proudly, picked up the teacup himself, and drank the gongfu tea very comfortably.

What else can Kowloon say is good, a rough stone, immediately more than ten times profitable, anyone will be red-eyed.

It seems that the jade is not cut into a tool, and it is carved by a famous teacher, and the price is so terrible.

Ah Fu told Kowloon that after everyone tasted the sweetness, they mainly purchased Taishan jade seeds, and especially liked small pieces of winter red and bay stone.

In addition to the heavy investment of collectors, Taishan jade has become more and more particular about the art of carving, which has also pushed up the added value of this jade.

The one who should have asked was also asked, and Kowloon and Lashi patiently selected the seeds.

Jiulong looked at it, there was a black wax stone that caught people's eyes, how could it be black, Jiulong suspected that he was wrong, and quickly took it in his hand and looked at it carefully.

This stone is about a kilogram, the skin is black, like the black jade shell of a crow, Jiulong asked Ah Fu to give him a jade flashlight, the result of the flashlight illumination, can shine through the local black shell to the jade flesh, giving people a feeling that has never been in other jade, heavy, mysterious, peculiar beauty, the more Jiulong looks at it, the more he likes it, so he asked Ah Fu what is this?

Ah Fu smiled, this is the most distinctive crow skin seed material we have here, it is very precious.

"Can you tell us what's so good about it?"

Kowloon asked, concerned about whether the seed was worth buying.

is worthy of doing business, Ah Fu talked about crow skins like a few treasures:

"Taishan crow skin jade production area is located in the southern end of the subtropics, close to the South China Sea, warm climate, abundant rainfall, the production area is extremely rich and dense mineral resources, as far as I know, there are tungsten, aluminum, copper, gold, quartz, crystal, granite, gold potassium feldspar, beryl and many other known and unknown mineral elements.

"Under the interaction of the slurry produced by the volcanic eruption hundreds of millions of years ago, such a rich and diverse mineral elements, climate and water temperature, the unique environment of Taishan crow skin jade has been formed, and the famous crow skin jade pits such as Huanghua Bay and Sanshi Bay have also been formed.

Therefore, Taishan crow skin jade is a unique treasure produced under unique conditions and in a unique environment, and it is a unique reward given by nature to human beings.

"The main characteristics of Taishan crow skin jade: one is the black skin, that is, like the black jade skin shell of the crow, the top grade of the crow skin jade skin shell is deep black and thin, the quality and water impulse are excellent, and the flashlight can shine through the local black skin shell to the jade flesh, giving people a kind of height, heavy, mysterious, peculiar beauty that has never been seen in other jade,

"The second is that the jade is good, due to the special factors that form the crow skin jade and the specific role of the crow skin itself, the jade quality of the Taishan crow skin jade is often better than that of the non-crow skin jade.

Therefore, Taishan crow skin jade is more warm, condensed, clean, and has the advantages of heat resistance, cold resistance, light resistance, corrosion resistance and long-lasting brilliance.

"The third is the color, the jade flesh of Taishan crow skin jade is gorgeous and pure, with yellow and red as the main colors, there are also dozens of jade colors such as yellow and red mixed colors, yellow and white mixed colors, plus the black of Taishan crow skin jade skin shell, forming a gorgeous, rich and colorful that can not be achieved by any other jade variety, giving people an endless feeling of beauty.

"Everyone is rushing to buy Taishan crow skin jade now, and the investment prospects are good:

"One is its representativeness, Taishan crow skin jade with its skin black, jade, bright color of the noble quality and become an outstanding representative of China's various crow skin jade, the industry has 'Longling's aquatic plants, Taishan's crow skin' said.

"The second is its rarity, because the formation of crow skin jade requires very special conditions, from the national point of view, there are very few places where there is crow skin jade, from the situation of Taishan, although there are more than ten stone pits that produce Taishan jade, but only a few stone pits such as Huanghuawan and Sanshi Bay have a small amount of crow skin stone output, although it has been excavated for many years, but the total output and survival scale of Taishan crow skin jade is still very small, especially the number of good Taishan crow skin jade is less, it is difficult to meet the growing demand of more and more enthusiasts and investment collectors for Taishan crow skin jade。

"At present, the jade carving industry and the collection community invest in the collection of Taishan crow skin jade as a new, higher-level pursuit goal, which also makes Taishan crow skin jade have more and more investment collection value and price rise space. ”

"Since it's so good, tell me how to monetize it. ”

Kowloon listened to Ah Fu's more and more mysterious, it was better to give something practical, otherwise, it would be troublesome to spend a lot of money to buy it home and smash it in his hands.

Ah Fu smiled: "This is not difficult, Taishan crow skin wax stone can maximize the value through the following aspects. ”
