Episode 358 Dolma talks about stones

"This ......" Bokai scratched his scalp, seemingly at a loss for some reason.

"Handsome guy, let me introduce you, I'm familiar with this. ”

At this time, a lady who was silently picking vein stones at the stall raised her head and said to Bokai.

This lady has long flowing hair, a goose-egg-shaped face, and a necklace made of several vein stones and agate hanging around her neck, and is about forty years old, very literary and artistic.

"This is Teacher Zhuoma, the elite of our vein stone world, it is best for her to introduce her. ”

Bo Kai was relieved and hurriedly introduced the identity of this lady to Jiulong.

Teacher Zhuoma was also not polite, and gave a detailed introduction to the past and present life of the vein stone.

Gangue stone is a kind of Gobi strange stone, mainly produced in the Gobi desert of Inner Mongolia and Outer Mongolia, and there is also a small amount of Gobi in Xinjiang.

It is cooled by the magma ejected by the eruption of the ocean volcano hundreds of millions of years ago, and after the erosion of seawater and the tempering of the yellow sand of the Gobi, the surface of it forms various natural lines, which resembles the human body's tendons, so it is named the tendon vein stone.

In 2007, the herdsmen excavated the vein stone in the Gobi Desert for six years, in less than ten years, the vein stone with its peculiar appearance gorgeously, by the domestic and foreign people who play with the stone, pet stone, love the stone and other people sought after.

Generally, the gangue stone is small in size, with a size of 1.0-5.0cm, which is an ideal microscopic stone collection stone for collectors.

Inner Mongolia has a small yield, good pulp, and a relatively round texture, but the color is relatively monotonous, revealing a simple and restrained beauty.

In 2009, the Outer Mongolia vein stone began to enter the domestic market, they are colorful, the whole body veins are vertical and horizontal, the shape is different, the natural carving, can be directly worn on the body of the natural micro stone, can highlight its unique charm and style. They seem to replicate everything in the world, as rare and non-renewable as the "relics" of the earth, and they are also a new variety of gemstones.

The formation process of gangue stone is hundreds of millions of years old, mainly silica agate texture, and contains iron and copper components, the hardness reaches 7-8, it has gone through the vicissitudes of life, carved by wind and sand and minerals for a long time and evolved and formed.

150 million to 300 million years ago, the Gobi Desert that formed the vein stone was still a vast sea, and the movement of magma often occurred, forming a volcanic eruption, the number of eruption layers reached as many as 10 layers, with red gravel or clay layer in the middle, the thickness of a single layer ranged from 2-3 meters to 35 meters, and the total thickness of the thickest section was 296 meters, and the most significant layer for mineralization was the stomatal filling almond-shaped basalt.

Basalt magma erupts or overflows from the depths of the sea, and quickly condenses in the seawater, and the magma contains a large amount of carbon dioxide, water vapor and other gases that are condensed into it, and the gas occupancy makes the basalt form spaces (pores or fissures) of different sizes and shapes, which prepare the place for later filling and mineralization.

After the eruption of a large number of basalt magma, the hydrothermal fluid with silica or alkaline metal cations is gelatinous enrichment, squeezed up along the fracture, under the action of high temperature and high pressure, it is pervasive, and once drilled into the basalt pores, it is condensed into agate and other stomatal fillings.

The shape of the basalt pores is like the mold in the casting process, and the silicone hydrothermal fluid is like the molten iron in the casting.

These agate fillings are the prototype of what we see today, and have been eroded by the sea.

Due to the change of climate, the temperature drops, the water evaporated from the ocean forms a glacier on the land, and cannot return to the sea, so the sea water decreases, and the shallow sea becomes land.

Therefore, this change of "vicissitudes of life" has played a decisive role in the formation of vein stone.

The climatic conditions in the Gobi Desert are very harsh.

Droughts, strong winds, and large temperature differences between day and night make the physical weathering of rocks very fast.

After the basalt is weathered into sand, the vein stone filled in the bedrock pores is liberated, the vein stone is still like a snail with a thick shell, after hundreds of millions of years of wind and sand grinding, grinding off its thick shell, revealing the true appearance, on the surface by the sun, rain and dew, wind, frost, ice and snow erosion and tempering, natural slurry, creating the hard texture of the vein, rich vein pattern, peculiar shape and rich color.

There are more than 30 varieties of veins, the surface of the veins is rich in color, the veins are clear, criss-crossed, the texture is warm and moist, the colors are colorful, there are three categories of colored veins, red veins, veinstones, etc., the shape, quality, color and pattern have reached the modern appraisal standards.

The biggest feature of the vein stone is that its veins are consistent from the outside to the inside, can not be faked, this is what a magical and precious stone, it has been transformed after the vicissitudes of life, set the aura of heaven and earth, absorb the essence of the sun and the moon, with a soft and restrained luster of the years, to everyone who is fortunate enough to have and love it, straight to the heart of the shock and touch.

She left the most beautiful side to mankind, why can't we give her the honorary title of "Emperor of Stones"!

After tens of millions of years of years and wind and sand, the possession of the vein stone represents eternity, longevity, immortality, and the well-preserved meridian stone is extremely rare.

Muscle vein stone, its excavation is not easy to come by, compared to other jade, muscle vein stone is non-renewable, now this kind of jade in the jade market is very rare, so the muscle vein stone in the jade family has become more precious, rare, is the darling of the jade world.

The color of the vein stone is gorgeous, and the veins on its body are clear.

Usually, the criteria for people to choose gangue seeds are good-looking, cute, etc.

But this is only at the surface level, and high-quality veganous stones generally have the following characteristics.

1. Texture: Good gangue stone has a solid texture and good density, and there is no feeling of looseness or bran, and the overall seed material feels very strong. There will be an agate outer film on the surface of the high-quality gangue seed material, commonly known as "jade".

If the degree of "jade" is good, the surface of the seed material will be similar to the luster of the surface of porcelain.

After wearing it for a few days, the seeds become more and more oily and shiny.

Nowadays, some pictures of gangue on the Internet are photos of oil, which is essentially different from the luster of the seed itself.

The shiny feel of the real seed material is emitted from the inside of the seed material, and there is a tendency to diverge outward.

On the other hand, if you apply oil, you will feel that the gloss is pasted, existing on the superficial surface, not refreshing, and sticky.

2. Color: The gangue seed material is rich in color, but it is by no means as bright and dazzling as cheap plastic decorations.

The color of gangue seed material belongs to the high-grade gray tone from the color point of view.

The high-end grey tones are also admired in today's fashion.

The color of the fine vein stone is clear and clear, while the color of the currency is mostly gray and abrupt, green is not green, yellow is not yellow, and mixed with some unclear impurities.

3. Tendon vein pattern: The vein pattern of high-quality tendon vein stone is clear and clean, and the vein direction is clear.

The veins of the currency vein are vague, and many of them do not have any veins at all.

Raisin agate vein stone is one of the rarer kinds of vein stone, due to the erosion of hundreds of millions of years of wind and rain, the well-preserved meridian stone is extremely rare.

This kind of raisin agate has a clear texture, like a fossil of plant tendons, and is loved by many collectors.
