As soon as he parked the car in front of Avon Zhai, Fang Ming found that Zhou Yafang had already walked out quickly.

"How? What did you buy back? ”

Fang Ming knew that Zhou Yafang was worried that he had been deceived, so he pointed to the trunk of the car and said, "I bought a bluestone plate and came back, and it was in the trunk of the car." ”

Zhou Yafang immediately rushed to the back of the car when she heard this, and after opening the trunk of the car, she found that there was indeed a bluestone plate lying there quietly.

"That's it?"

Zhou Yafang was stunned.

Fang Ming nodded and said, "Yes, it's this bluestone plate." ”

"Move things to the store, I'll take a look."

Fang Ming moved the bluestone plate to the store, Zhou Yafang circled it for a long time, and then took out the magnifying glass and looked at it over and over again, the more he looked at it, the more gloomy his face became, and finally sighed and said, "Fang Ming, how much did you spend on this thing?" ”

Scratching his hair, Fang Ming said:

"5,000 yuan, I think it's worth the money."

"5,000 pieces? 500 is about the same. Fang Ming, I see if you have missed too much, so you think everything is missing? ”

Zhou Yafang was angry for a while, great value for money? It's worth the money for 5,000 bucks on this thing?

Fang Ming remembered the seven bead-like "things" that he had "seen" before, as well as the half-moon-shaped "things"**a**book**read. Novel YBDU, no matter what it is, he doesn't feel like it's going to lose money.

"Sister Avon, wait a minute.

Fang Ming remembered that there was a toolbox in the store, so he immediately went to look for it, and finally turned out a hammer and a chisel.

"Fang Ming, what are you doing here? Chisel stones? What is there to chisel this stone? ”

Zhou Yafang looked puzzled, sitting in front of the stone with a hammer and a chisel in the other, what else could she do besides chiseling stones?

"Heh, you'll know what I'm chiseling in a moment."

Picking up the chisel, Fang Ming made a few strokes and placed it on the left of the center of the bluestone plate, and then picked up the hammer and struck it "ding".

Although he was holding a hammer, Fang Ming's movements were very careful, as if he was not a stone but a piece of tofu under his chisel - and he still wanted to carve flowers on it!

The stone chips were chiseled down little by little, and beads of sweat slowly appeared on Fang Ming's forehead, it was easier to smash a stone, but it was even more tiring to chisel little by little like this.

10 minutes, 20 minutes...... Thirty minutes, Fang Zilan was young after all, and she couldn't sit still anymore after her curiosity passed, so she went to play by herself.

As for Luo Cui and Fang Hao, they were still around Fang Ming.

"Smack!"

Suddenly, Fang Ming heard a soft sound, and the chisel in his hand also fell down as if it had been hollowed out, because he had been prepared for a long time, the falling hammer suddenly fell lightly on the chisel as if it had lost all its strength, and this chisel did not get down even a little stone chipping.

"Whew!"

Fang Ming let out a breath and blew aside all the stone chips on the bluestone plate.

As the stone chips became less and less, small pits were slowly revealed on the surface, and a faint glimmer of light was seen through.

"What is this?"

Zhou Yafang noticed the light, and a shocked look appeared on her face, even a fool understood that it was normal to have such a light in a stone.

Shaking his head, Fang Ming said, "I don't know what it is. Let me see. ”

Fang Ming stretched out his hand and wanted to pick it, but before he could reach it, he was slapped aside by Zhou Yafang, who had reacted.

"What for? How can you touch it like this? Go get a brush, I remember there's one in the toolbox. ”

"Good!"

Fang Ming quickly found the brush.

"Give it to me."

Touching his chin, Fang Ming helplessly handed the brush to Zhou Yafang, this bluestone plate was bought by himself, shouldn't it be brushed by himself? But there must be no place to reason at this time.

Taking the brush, Zhou Yafang carefully brushed it, and as the stone chips were finally cleaned up, half of the beads were exposed, and the sun shimmered seductively, like the eyes of a little baby.

"Rub!"

Even though Fang Ming had already prepared in his heart, he was still stunned when he saw this bead.

When he bought the bluestone plate before, he had actually "seen" the situation inside the stone, and knew that there were seven glowing things, but he didn't expect that it would be beads, and in his imagination it should be something like jade.

"How about picking it up and seeing?"

Zhou Yafang was taken aback, only then did she realize that she was too distracted, and the beads were still stuck in the stone and didn't take them out.

Because of the nervous excitement, the palms of the hands were already sweating, but at this time, I couldn't care about it, and my hand rubbed it on the clothes and stretched out the beads.

"Goo!"

I don't know if it's an illusion, but when my hand just touched the bead and then gently pressed it, the bead fell out as if it had been oiled.

Without any preparation for this, Zhou Yafang was startled, and hurriedly grabbed several handfuls but did not catch the beads.

, Fang Ming on the side saw that something was wrong, and hurriedly stretched out his hand, and finally caught the bead before it fell to the ground.

"Whew!"

A layer of sweat appeared on Zhou Yafang's forehead, this bead was dug out of the stone, it was not a simple thing without thinking about it, what if it fell to the ground and bumped into it? Fortunately, Fang Ming caught it.

Picking up the beads, Fang Ming squinted his eyes and looked at them carefully.

The beads are not big, the size of a finger, and there is a trace of blood-red in the pale white, divided into small pieces like fish scales, although opaque, but holding it gives people a heavy and moist feel.

What is this?

After watching it for a long time, Fang Ming was stunned and couldn't recognize what this thing was.

"These beads are so beautiful! But what is coming from? ”

Taking the beads from Fang Ming's hand, he sighed after looking at them for a while, Zhou Yafang said: "This is amber, your grain is opaque, so it is the beeswax in amber, a kind of natural gemstone, it is a good thing." ”

Amber is a fossilized pine resin that is more than 40 million years old, and it is known as one of the three major organic gemstones, along with pearls and coral. In addition, amber is also a very valuable medicinal material, the great physicians of the past generations have attached great importance to its role, for example, Li Shizhen's "Compendium of Materia Medica" includes the role of amber: amber can calm the mind, calm the five organs, clear the mind, and calm the mind.

In Buddhism, it is called the Seven Treasures of Buddhism with gold, silver, coral, clams, glass and agate, it is said that the practice of amber can help people to produce concentration, and it is used to bless the treasure of the practitioner, so it is corresponding to the "precepts, concentration, and wisdom", which means that if you want to get the true transmission and cultivate yourself to become a Buddha, in addition to long-term practice, you must also stand the test to be able to become enlightened.

One of the classification methods of amber is based on its degree of transparency, in which the transparent one is called transparent amber, opaque amber, and the other is in between, called flower amber, and opaque amber is also called beeswax.

Thousands of amber 10,000 years of beeswax, which not only tells the relationship between amber and beeswax, but also shows who is more valuable.

At this time, what was in Zhou Yafang's hands was amber, and it was a rare "old honey", that is, opaque amber beeswax that was very old, and the whole was reddish-orange.

"It turned out to be amber, the kind of rosin that dripped down and became a fossil after thousands of years?"

Zhou Yafang played with the beads in her hand and carefully identified them.

Amber is of course a favorite of many collectors, but the fakes of this thing are also very large, especially after the development of technology and the increase in the level of counterfeiting. For example, some counterfeiters and counterfeiters say that the baked wax is old wax, and the price is often quite amazing.

The beads gently rolled back and forth between Zhou Yafang's palms and fingers, and most people saw it and thought she was just playing, but in fact she was "testing" its feel. Amber is a natural gemstone and is organic, so it won't get hot when worn in the summer and won't feel cold in the winter, making it a mild, neutral gemstone.

If it's fake, the temperature will change as long as you play with it in your hand for a while.

"Sister Avon, are you trying to verify whether it's real?"

Fang Ming saw Zhou Yafangjia's serious and solemn face, guessing that she should be appraising, although he had already known that this bead must be true through the ability, he still wanted to hear how Zhou Yafang identified the amber - in fact, the ability has performed quite well so far, but he was always worried that the ability would leave him after waking up one day, so Fang Ming decided to learn more and learn as much as possible about everything related to antique collection, and there was a good opportunity in front of him.

"Well, yes, this amber should be real in terms of feel."

Zhou Yafang said and lifted the amber beads in her hand, and continued while looking at the light: "Amber has scales, and the scales of natural amber feel different from no longer the angle, this is because natural things are in the process of formation and then ' Random, and this kind of scale will give people a feeling of being full of aura, but fake amber is not like this at all, because it is artificial, so either there are no scales or even if there are scales from different angles, they are the same, and there is no aura. ”

"Amber has bubbles, and the bubbles in natural amber are mostly round, while the bubbles in amber pressed by technology are often long and flattened."

……

Looking at Zhou Yafang's explanations like a number of treasures, Fang Ming once again felt that the knowledge of antique collecting was so broad and profound, basically he had never heard of it.

"It seems that I will have to study more in the future."

Fang Ming thought to himself.

"In addition to what I said above, there are other ways, such as judging by the aroma and testing the density by soaking in salt water...... In short, there are a lot of fake amber now, so you must be careful when collecting and selling. ”

"I really didn't expect that there was so much knowledge about amber alone."

"Well, yes, this is actually the reason why there are so many holes and leaks in antique collections, there are so many things involved, and ordinary people may be more familiar with some aspects, but they are not familiar with other fields, so they are eye-catching."

Zhou Yafang has a deeper understanding of this, she herself comes from a family of collectors, and she has seen much more than ordinary people who play antique collecting, but even so, there are times when she is looking away - not to mention, just the previous wrench is blind.

"I'll be careful later, but since this bead is real, then everything else is real."

When Zhou Yafang heard the surprise, she said, "Isn't it just this one? Anything else? ”
