Chapter 67: Imperial Green (Medium)

As the owner of the jadeite, although Wu Chen was secretly surprised and excited in his heart, he kept a faint smile on his face, listening to the quotations around him.

The value of such a piece of material, he is actually not very clear, mainly because he can't determine what the market price of this quality of finished products is, so it can't be valued. In the past, it was "a first-class color difference, and a tenfold price difference", but now even planting water has such a saying!

Since it cannot be valued, it is more reasonable to let the market value it, and the real price of a commodity still depends on the price of the transaction, although there will be a premium and a difference.

Soon the price soared to 3.1 million, and then the increase in price began to slow down, and many weak ones have withdrawn from the bidding.

Kong Si looked at them with a smirk, since he didn't have the strength, why bother to make an offer? As everyone knows, in many cases in the market, it is soy sauce, and sometimes you can get a treasure, so why not give it a try, and wait until it is beyond your ability to bear and then automatically withdraw, at least there will be no big regrets.

With the rise in prices, it has far exceeded Wu Chen's psychological expectations, he saw that there were still a few people raising prices for each other, and it seemed that there was still space, so he simply leaned over and muttered to Xia Ziming in a low voice, mainly asking about the price of this jadeite.

Before Xia Ziming could speak, Kong Si had already come over and asked curiously, "This is emerald?" Aren't emeralds gemstones? How did it appear in this jadeite raw material? ”

Seeing that these two people regarded themselves as experts, Xia Ziming smiled bitterly and shook his head, his "expert" is not so good at luck, he has been guarding this treasure for so long, and he turned around and let the two mallets pick it up, this time he really went home!

But now I can't control that much for the time being, and when I heard that the emeralds were solved here, people poured into the stalls one after another, and the water that had been enclosed was impassable!

Let's deal with this messy situation first, Xia Ziming said to Wu Chen: "Brother, I really can't set the price of this, or you can keep it first, you can't sell it at a good price here!" ”

Wu Chen also has this idea, most of these bosses are second-class dealers, and they are mainly low-grade jadeite, such high-end goods can be eaten, naturally they will not miss it, but if they really want to valuate, I am afraid that it will be difficult.

Seeing that the store was in a mess, they were surrounded in the middle, three layers inside and outside, and there were people outside who were desperately squeezing in, this is where the market is, there are all kinds of people, in case someone outside takes the opportunity to secretly "follow" a few gambling stones, it won't hurt Xia Ziming.

Wu Chen bent down, glanced at the jade material that reflected the whole basin of water green, and sighed in his heart, it was so beautiful!

At this moment, he was really a little reluctant to sell it! However, this thought is fleeting, and he will not forget his original intention, which is to get rid of the dilemma of "poverty" as soon as possible. Of course, you can't just sell it here and now, at least you have to figure out what it is.

With his mind settled, Wu Chen reached out and scooped up the material, stuffed it into his trouser pocket, and didn't care about the wet water, then said loudly to the crowd: "Everyone! Everybody! I'm so embarrassed! I don't sell this piece of material! Don't sell! Useful for yourself! ”

As soon as they heard him say this, Kong Si and Xia Ziming also loudly persuaded them to retreat. Waiting until the crowd on the periphery dispersed, several bosses who were also surrounded inside sighed and left, Boss Liang was still a little unwilling, stayed a little bit, asked Wu Chen, and saw that he was resolute, so he had to say hello to Xia Ziming and leave.

Finally waited for the crowd to retreat, and there were only three or three people left, picking gambling stones all over the store, trying to get lucky, this is a freshly baked top material!

Xia Ziming breathed a sigh of relief, returned to the middle position, and sat down again to boil water and change tea.

"Well, you haven't told me what the hell is going on with this emerald." As soon as Kong Si sat down, he asked, Wu Chen also nodded in agreement, what makes people so crazy!

"Hehe, don't worry, let's have a cup of tea first." Xia Ziming said gracefully, in fact, he also had a trace of excitement in his heart.

After a tea tour, everyone's mood calmed down, and only then did Wu Chen take out the jade again, seeing that Wu Chen's crotch was wet, Kong Si called out in surprise: "Damn, you don't have to urinate incontinence when you are excited!" ”

"you!" Wu Chen also regretted a little, he was in a hurry just now, he forgot to wipe it with a cloth first, fished it out of the water, and put it in his pocket directly, and now his trouser pocket is wet and wet with his crotch, which is uncomfortable!

"This is indeed Imperial Green!" Xia Ziming took the jade in his hand and looked at it viciously for a while before sighing.

He had never cut out such material before, but as the second son of the Xia family, he had learned from the elders in the family since he was a child, and he had seen the sample, but he didn't expect to cut out a piece in his store today, and it was in the pile of cheap wool that he picked out, and he couldn't help but sigh a little. In this situation, how can it not be seen more than once, and hurt more often.

"Hehe, don't worry!" Xia Ziming saw Kong Si's mouth move, and raised his hand to interrupt him, "Do you want to ask, how is this an emerald again?" ”

"Don't sell it! Yes, you talk about yours, you don't need to set up questions and rhetorical questions, just use declarative sentences! Kong Si interrupted him with a roar, "Don't rush this tea, come here!" "He doesn't know how to make kung fu tea, just holding that tea cup will be hot!

"Hehe, okay." Xia Ziming is not sloppy, "Among the types of gems and jade in this world, there are seven kinds of precious gems known as 'five emperors, one king and one queen', and the five emperors are the five major gemstones, namely: diamonds, rubies, sapphires, emeralds, golden green cat's eyes, referred to as cat's eyes; In addition, one king and one queen refer to jadeite and pearls. ”

"So, this emerald has nothing to do with jadeite." Wu Chen looked at the piece of raw material in Xia Ziming's hand again.

"It doesn't matter! These two, both of which are very different in terms of chemical and physical properties, are two completely different substances. To put it simply, jadeite is a rock, and emerald is a mineral; Jadeite is jadeite, translucent, and emerald is beryl, which is more transparent and has a vitreous luster, which is the top of emeralds. The origin of jadeite is mainly in Myanmar, and the origin of emerald is more, Colombia, Brazil and Zambia, etc., there are many classifications, but I don't know much about it, so I won't say much. Xia Ziming first made up his mind, strictly distinguishing between the two, and Wu Chen nodded again and again after hearing the words, this buddy's logic is still very clear, not the kind that makes people stunned after chirping for a long time.

"Back to jadeite, it refers to jadeite produced in Myanmar, and there is basically no jadeite in other places, which can be ignored. Xia Ziming looked at Wu Chen making tea and asked deliberately.

"Do you need to ask? The ancients said that 'red is jade, green is emerald', emerald has always been the most important color in jadeite, you see that the calcite cut up is also called seeing green, you know that green is king in the jadeite. Kong Si hurriedly replied.

"That's right! The reason for the formation of green color is the presence of chromium ions. It can be said that as the chromium ions increase, the green color becomes more intense! ”

"Therefore, the color in jadeite, in terms of green alone, is divided into many kinds, among which bright green, blue green, emerald green, yang green, etc. are all high emerald materials, which are worth a lot of money, and the lower grade emerald has light green, turbid green, dark green, black green, etc." Xia Ziming drank a cup of tea and continued, these things have been accumulated by him for a long time to study, and they are condensed as much as possible so that they can be understood by the two of them.

"It can be said that imperial green is the best color and the highest value green in jadeite, and there are four criteria for judging the color of jadeite: pure and concentrated; These are perfectly reflected in the imperial green, because its concentration is about 65%, the saturation is high, and the naked eye feels that the green has a blue hue, but it is not colored, and it is different from the blueish green! It is a unique color, which appears a dignified lake green in daylight, similar to lake blue at first glance, emerald green under strong light, and yang green under digital flash, which is really unpredictable! Xia Ziming pointed to the piece of jade as he spoke, showing them the characteristics of it.

"Because this color characteristic of imperial green is the same as emerald, it is also called 'emerald', or 'emerald' for short." Xia Ziming said leisurely, "So, this emerald refers to the color of this jadeite, and it can't match the gemstone emerald eight poles." ”

"I see!" Wu Chen and Kong Si nodded their heads at the same time, and Kong Si patted Xia Ziming's shoulder and said, "I can't see that my buddy is really an expert!" ”

"Damn! Get your bear claws out of the way! Xia Ziming's small body couldn't stand the slapping of this goods, and he scolded while flashing.

"Hehe, Brother Xia, in your opinion, how much is this thing worth?" Wu Chen had to ask a very cheesy question.

"Well, it's hard to say." Xia Ziming pondered for a while, "Just now I just talked about color, to say that this imperial green, it is rare on the market, and the glutinous imperial green, has belonged to the best in modern jadeite, its material structure is silky, through the light, the texture is fine, the crystal flashes, the green silk is suspended, and there is no crystal refraction sense of modern jadeite on the surface after polishing, giving people a dignified and valuable insider." ”

"Let me give you a reference, I have seen a waxy imperial green ring the size of a thumbnail, priced at more than 1.8 million, that was a few years ago, you also know that the raw materials of jadeite have increased several times in recent years."

Wu Chen smacked his tongue when he heard it, the glutinous seed can reach this price, so what price should this one that is biased towards glass seed!

Sure enough, after Xia Ziming finished speaking, he picked up a highlight, put it on the material, and then said: "Look, this piece of material is no longer glutinous. The texture is pure, delicate, free of impurities, cotton grain, and no graininess or emerald can be observed. The transparency is high, and the light almost reaches that side, and the overall feeling is as clear and transparent as glass, which is the characteristic of the glass species! It's almost impossible! ”

"What can't be?" Xia Ziming didn't finish speaking, the flashlight had already been snatched by Kong Si.

"If I hadn't untied it myself, I wouldn't have been sure if it was real, because it was too perfect to be fake!" Xia Ziyang didn't care either, and said a little distractedly: "You must know that the natural law of jadeite is that if the color goes up, it will come down, and if it is planted, the color will fade." Therefore, there is also a saying in the industry that there is no good seed in Yanglu, and the water is clear and does not raise fish, etc., from which you can also see the natural laws in the jadeite. The meaning and value of Gao Cui is that in the anti-natural law, the color saturation is very high, the texture is very low, dense and delicate. ”

"Like this one, if I have to estimate it, I can only say that it is priceless!" Xia Ziming said most firmly!
