Among them, there are old workers and new workers, the so-called old workers refer to the traditional production process, and the utensils used are also handed down before, which is characterized by exquisite and fine production, which is more time-consuming and laborious, which is reflected in the vividness.

"The new work refers to the introduction of modern industrial technology into the jade, its advantage lies in the precision and fast, in the control of symmetry, the size has an incomparable advantage, now the more delicate jade are made by the old workers combined with the new work, the quality of the jade directly determines the expressiveness and artistic value of the jade, a good jade must be in the layout of symmetry, line knife method, grinding and polishing are good works. ”

The shopkeeper spoke bitterly, but the more Jiulong listened, the more confused he became, and there was no familiar Shi You to lead the way, so he wanted him to start directly, and he really didn't have the courage to do it.

However, it was not easy for the shopkeeper to introduce so hard, so he was in the leakage area and bought a few hundred yuan of green and white jade and black jade to play with, which can be regarded as an explanation to the shopkeeper.

Subsequently, Jiulong and He Gang visited a few more shops, and strangely, they basically didn't see anyone selling gold silk jade.

Could it be that he went to the wrong place? Probably not, although the reputation of this golden silk jade is not particularly famous, it is not so that no one even operates the production area.

Walking all the way, there was still no shop in the golden silk, and Kowloon couldn't help but be a little disappointed.

He looked up and saw a large shop selling Karamay jade, and thought it was strange, what the hell is Karamay jade? Why don't you go in and have a look.

This shop is very large, nearly 200 square meters, its biggest feature is to sell a kind of jade called Karamayi, the shopkeeper saw the two people come in, saw Jiulong and He Gang Han people dressed up, only politely said hello, and then sorted out the stones on the container.

Kowloon didn't care, and looked at it carefully.

What's going on? How is this Karamayi jade exactly the same as the golden silk jade that I have heard.

These stones do not have the water flush of the yellow wax stone, but they are very smooth washed by the wind and sand, Jiulong hurriedly asked: "Boss, are these golden silk jades?"

"That's the name of the people of Guangzhou, and we call it Karayi Jade here. ”

The shopkeeper replied.

Jiulong suddenly realized, so it was: "Boss, take a look at the gemstone light seed material of the golden silk jade." ”

Kowloon continued.

Kowloon glanced at the entire counter, but he couldn't help but be a little disappointed that he didn't see any fluorescent stones.

"There's this stuff, please come here. The boss heard Kowloon's shouts and knew that the knowledgeable ones were coming, so he quickly called them to a safe.

The boss's surname is Zhu, his name is Shanchuan, a typical Xinjiang Uyghur, wearing a white ethnic costume with embroidered patterns on the neckline and chest.

He pressed a few codes and opened the safe, revealing a variety of small fluorescent stones about a finger thick in front of Kowloon.

These pink, pink-white, and light white gemstone light seeds with fluorescent effects are very rare, and a very small part of them have a "rice-shaped" cat's eye effect.

The gemstone light material in the golden silk jade is extremely rare, so it is no wonder that it should be kept in the safe.

"Boss, where did you get these jades?"

If you want to buy jade, you naturally have to ask the source, and Kowloon has always been very cautious about new varieties.

"On the Gobi Desert in the vicinity of the 'Devil's Town' near Karamay, Xinjiang, there are scattered such delicate and warm, richly colored stones, and the best can even emit brilliant light.

It is said that as early as thousands of years ago, it was the decoration of the ancient kingdom of Loulan, but because of the inexplicable demise of the ancient kingdom of Loulan and the inaccessibility of the Gobi Desert, this beautiful stone was not cared for for for thousands of years in the following years.

"Until the 21st century, it reappeared in the world's field of vision by chance, and in just a few years, it completed the gorgeous transformation from a beautiful stone to a noble Karamay jade, and the price has skyrocketed from a few yuan a pound to 10,000 yuan per gram!"

Zhu Boss said proudly.

"What kind of chance made it turn into a phoenix?"

Jiulong asked, the reason why Huanglongyu suddenly skyrocketed is related to Guangxi merchants, this Karamay jade should also be inseparable from someone's discernment.

"It does have something to do with some people. ”

I wish the boss to answer honestly, according to him, this matter has to start in 2003.

One day in 2003, Yu Jun, a collector in Guangzhou, accidentally found a "small stone" with a very jade texture in a stall in Fangcun, Guangzhou.

Out of curiosity, he bought it for 50 yuan.

After going home and taking good care of it, he found that although this "small stone" has a very hard texture, its appearance shows the characteristics of Tianhuang seed material, which looks yellow and moist.

He went back to the stall to inquire, and the boss took out a small box of the same kind of "stones" that he had in stock.

That's a multicolored box.

Red, yellow, white, black...... Each color has many layers and is very beautiful.

Yu Jun did not hesitate to take out another 200 yuan and bought all the boxes of about 10 catties of stones.

In 2004, Yu Jun signed a purchase agreement with Shi Nong at a price of 7 yuan per catty.

Stones began to flow from the Gobi Desert to Guangzhou.

By the end of 2005, Yu Jun had spent five or six million yuan and collected several hundred tons.

Yu Jun gave these stones a nice name - "Golden Silk Jade" based on the fact that they have jade-like warmth and special stripes similar to Shoushan Tianhuang.

Ask someone to process it into jewelry, and many customers take it home to buy it, but go back a few days later to ask for a return.

They were all ridiculed by the players around them, saying that they had bought fake stones and fake jade.

"How so?" asked Kowloon, puzzled.

"It's all the bullshit experts. ”

Zhu Boss said indignantly.

These experts came up with the so-called theoretical basis to prove that the "golden silk jade" is not real jade.

Zhang expert of a certain geological university said that "golden silk jade" has advantages, but also disadvantages.

"Golden silk jade" belongs to the chalcedony class, which is a generalized jade variety.

There is an essential difference between "golden silk jade" and "real jade" such as Hetian jade, and the naming of "jade" and comparing it with "jade" will confuse people's academic understanding of the scientific nature of jade, and confuse the academic discussion of jade with literacy at the cultural level.

Starting from the pipe of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the jade virtue doctrine of "jade has nine virtues" (warm and moist, benevolent; neighbor to reason, wisdom; firm but not crouching, righteousness; incorruptible but not bad, line; fresh but not dirty, clean; bent but not indomitable, brave; flawed and suitable are seen, fine; Tibetan and Chinese luster and can not be Xiangling, tolerant; knock, its voice is clear and far-reaching, pure and not killing, resignation. )

It represents the complete cognition of human beings for true jade. Many people think that this is just a simple aesthetic statement.

But 20 years ago, by using the principles and methods of modern mineralogy, gemology and materials science, expert Zhang said that he found that the definition of true jade by ancient sages 2,600 years ago was actually very scientific and strict, and the appreciation criteria could be perfectly connected with the scientific language description of modern gemology and material mechanics.
