Chapter 100: Wax Collection

"Hey?" Sun Zhongyuan was a little anxious, and said that there is a treasure here, and you don't tell me what you have poured here, what if it is broken?

Master Li answered as soon as Sun Zhongyuan said "hey", "Don't worry, this is white vinegar, if the core in it is a natural thing, it will not be damaged." Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info Moreover, just now the hot water was only slightly soaked, and now the cold vinegar is poured, there are both physical and chemical reactions!"

As soon as Master Li's words fell, a lot of bubbles appeared on the "jade bi" in between, and then there was a beep and a cracking sound.

Sun Zhongyuan was already convinced of this Master Li at this time, and quietly watched him operate.

Master Li rinsed the "jade bi" with clean water, then picked up a knife and pried off a layer of jade skin along the cracks on the surface.

Inside, there was a white gelatinous substance that had already condensed, but it was no longer sticky, but a little like lime powder. Master Li rubbed it off directly, and at this time, a piece of cake appeared inside.

Wash off the powdery adhesion on the surface of the cake, and a piece of chanterelle yellow and faintly red is revealed.

"Beeswax?" Master Li's eyes lit up, "Such a big piece of beeswax cake, and the texture and color are good!"

After that, Master Li put this beeswax cake on the electronic scale, no more, no less, a full fifty grams, one or two!

"Even if it's a gram of 100 yuan, it's worth 5,000, that's not bad!" Master Li said to Sun Zhongyuan.

"It's still resin. Sun Zhongyuan smiled, took out a hundred yuan and handed it to Master Li, and then picked up this piece of beeswax cake, which was delicate and oily, and the surface of the slurry was very good, and the feel was even more first-class.

Beeswax is indeed a resin, but it is a fossilized resin, which is considered a type of amber, but only translucent and opaque amber is considered beeswax. In general, beeswax is worth a bit more than amber. In today's cultural entertainment market, beeswax, green pine, and southern red are considered to be the favorites for price increases.

The shopkeeper also looked at the side, and quickly said to Master Li with a smile, "This kind of color is more than 100 yuan a gram." What you are talking about is the general product of those new mines, this piece of wax is something from the old mine, and there is slurry, it is an old wax. ”

Master Li really didn't study the beeswax, and after listening to the shopkeeper, "How much is this kind of color worth?"

"At least three hundred to five hundred grams, and the supply exceeds demand!" said the shopkeeper, "otherwise, how could it be protected with the illusion of a piece of jade!"

Sun Zhongyuan had already given a hundred yuan, and he also took this piece of beeswax in his hand, and said to the shopkeeper with a smile, "Boss, you have eyesight." However, you're talking about ordinary old beeswax. ”

"Oh, the production area of beeswax is mainly in the Baltic Sea, and the current new wax is best in Ukraine (the mineral material produced in Ukraine). As for the old beeswax, aren't all in West Asia and the Middle East on the market?" said the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper is right, after all, he often mixes in the market, although he is mainly engaged in jade, but he also has some understanding of other markets. Although beeswax is also rampant with fakes nowadays, it is not difficult to find newly mined beeswax raw materials and handicrafts. Generally speaking, if the fineness is about the same, the price will be more than 100 yuan per gram.

Beeswax is not jade, and the specific gravity is only slightly higher than water, so as far as the new beeswax is concerned, it is not small to get a pendant of five or six grams, and many people can afford to play with jewelry of several hundred yuan.

However, the old beeswax will definitely be a little more expensive, after all, there is a vintage in it.

The old beeswax on the market today is mainly from West Asia and the Middle East, and it is mainly flaked, barrel-shaped, and cake-shaped, and it is not difficult to find.

Because in ancient times, beeswax was used as currency in West Asia and the Middle East. Make it this shape and wear it in a string, like a money string.

This kind of old beeswax is generally darker in color, unlike many new beeswaxes, the color is dull, not yellow enough, and not bright enough. The price is also relatively high, usually more than 300 yuan per gram.

The shopkeeper appraised Sun Zhongyuan's beeswax cake according to the old beeswax in West Asia.

Sun Zhongyuan was also a little happy for a while, and the shopkeeper seemed to be interested, and after all, the store was peeled off intact, so he said that this was not an ordinary piece of old beeswax.

"This is a piece of Tibetan wax!" After Sun Zhongyuan finished speaking, he immediately said hello with a smile and left.

The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment, until Sun Zhongyuan's back disappeared at the door, and then he spoke, "Hidden wax?"

Master Li asked, "Is Tibetan wax expensive?"

The shopkeeper nodded, "But what's not it?" However, I didn't pay attention to the details of the wax, slurry, and pores just now, but I just took a general look at the old wax. And Tibetan wax generally doesn't turn red, unless it's very old! If it's really Tibetan wax, it's a big leak!"

Master Li walked back to the operation area and said, "Listen to him, I think I'm too excited to pick up a bargain!"

The shopkeeper was thoughtful, "I don't know what's going on, I think what this guy said is true, and besides, he should be a master." ”

Sun Zhongyuan really didn't say nonsense, this is a piece of Tibetan wax! And it's not a small year of tens of hundreds of years, at least three hundred years up!

Tibetan wax is the most expensive beeswax on the market today, and the quantity is relatively rare. It belongs to the same old beeswax as West Asian wax, but the difference is big.

West Asian wax is used as currency, so the parts of the wax that are flawed during processing are not too careful, for example, many are not pure beeswax, but half amber and half beeswax, and some have impurities.

And the preservation will not be so serious, so it has been handed down to this day, and there are many ice cracks. At the same time, since it is used as currency, it is not usually used too much.

Tibetan wax is different, Tibetan wax is used as decoration in Tibet and the surrounding area, so the wax is generally very good, it is pure wax. Moreover, after a long period of play, the pulp is more delicate and moisturizing.

Judging from the pores and overall wear, the West Asian wax will not be so rounded, and there are more scars, and the pores are basically in the original state, straight holes. Tibetan wax usually does not have much wear, the whole will be very round, and after the orifice is worn, it is also rounded, which is very comfortable to look at.

In addition, there are indeed few Tibetan waxes handed down, so the price has remained high.

The piece of Tibetan wax in Sun Zhongyuan's hand is of excellent quality, huge, and too old! Such a superb product, in the market, the price of five or six thousand per gram is considered fair.

In other words, the piece in Sun Zhongyuan's hand is worth almost 300,000.

Two hundred yuan bought a "fake jade", and one hundred yuan "opened" real Tibetan wax!

Just looking at 300,000, maybe it's not a lot. But the cost is 300, and the value is 300,000, which is a thousand times the profit!

At this time, Sun Zhongyuan had already walked out of Panjiayuan. He was in a good mood and didn't seem to notice that someone was following him not far behind him.
