"Are there any pearls of this condition? It's okay to be a little bit worse, we can put it in the store to fill the façade, and the company still needs something new to regain its popularity. Yang Tianfu said, pointing to the pearls in the silk bag.

"There are really no more of them, there are only a few, and if they are such a big one, there are still some of them." Yang Tianfu is now his own person, so Han Peacock doesn't hide it from him.

"Then what else are you talking about, hurry up and take it out! You kid is really, you don't speak with a lot of gasp! Yang Tianfu glanced at Han Peacock, the ten-millimeter beads are gone, and there are still a lot of thirteen or four-millimeter ones, this kid won't rob the Dragon Palace of the Dragon King of the East China Sea!

Han Peacock shrugged his shoulders and took out a bag of pearls from his backpack disapprovingly.

Han Peacock's backpack is a treasure bag, it seems that there are all treasures in it, however, Yang Tianfu is very distressed, the hardness of pearls is not high, so it is all packed in a backpack, bumps and bumps must be indispensable, these are all treasures, how can you treat them like this?

"I said you, you! Won't you take a box and put it in well? It's a shame that there is wear and tear like this. Yang Tianfu was distressed enough, and began to count Han Peacocks again.

He has the pearl piercing tools here, as well as some K gold and sterling silver accessories, which are ready-made in his studio, so he doesn't need to go to the company's warehouse to receive them, and now there is no work left or right, Yang Tianfu simply processed it directly for Han Peacock.

Han Peacock was bored when he sat on the side, so he followed Yang Tianfu to learn processing, which is not difficult to watch. But it's a technical job, Han Peacock has also seen Yang Tianfu do it before, but he didn't study too seriously at that time, so for some small pearls, Han Peacock's hands, for this kind of big pearl, he was reluctant, afraid of playing bad.

Watching Yang Tianfu carefully punch the pearl, Han Peacock felt bored again. He took out the undersea rock himself. I got a carving knife and started to rest.

The Han peacock was first trimmed into the shape of a flower pot, and then a hole was chiseled out to inlay the prepared coral. In order to fix the coral. Han Peacock thought a little hard. This small hole was made into a slight curve, and it stuck directly in the coral.

After getting stuck, Han Peacock shook a little. It felt very firm, so I looked at it carefully, and felt that the flower pot was a little monotonous, and Han Peacock carved some flowers, trees, and rocks on it according to the shape of the flower pot.

However, the cyan flower pot and the scarlet coral tree still look very beautiful, and the biggest feature of this coral bonsai is nature.

The coral selected by Han Peacock is a small red tree that is alive, which is pure natural and without any carving, so although Han Peacock simply completed a bonsai, the value is definitely not low.

Han Peacock has completed the task here, and Yang Tianfu has done almost it over there, pearl punching is simple and simple, especially for a skilled master like Yang Tianfu, there is no difficulty at all, so when Han Peacock made zuò coral bonsai, more than 100 golden pearls, Yang Tianfu has completed the punching, and there is no failure.

"Xiao Li, you string these pearls." After punching the hole, Yang Tianfu directly asked his assistant to string the pearls to finish, after all, such a simple job does not need to be completed by a master like him.

For this kind of top-grade pearl, there is really no need to add other things, but such a string of gold pearls is a treasure, and there is really no need to use other things to add brilliance to it, so Yang Tianfu did not plan to bother, but simply strung it together.

"That's it? So fast? Looking at the small holes drilled out of the golden pearls, none of the golden pearls deviated, Han Peacock was surprised.

Yang Tianfu said with a smile: "If it weren't for the fact that these gold pearls were good, I wouldn't have needed to punch the holes myself." ”

Han Peacock smiled and said, "Jiang is still old and spicy." ”

Yang Tianfu said: "You better say a few words less about this kind of flattery, if you really look up to my old man, give me more precious materials, like clams, tortoiseshell, jade, coral, pearls, if there is chalcedony or something, it would be better." ”

"Chalcedony?" Han Peacock has everything else, he really doesn't have chalcedony, he doesn't know how Yang Tianfu would think that he has chalcedony in his hand.

Yang Tianfu glanced at Han Peacock in surprise and said, "You don't know about chalcedony, right?" Chalcedony has always been considered to be the essence of jade, is made of agar jade liquid condensation, its particles are fine, its main mineral component is cryptocrystalline quartz, the shape and size are different, the luster is mostly glass or waxy, translucent or slightly transparent, you see, I have two pieces here, a carnelian and a blue chalcedony. ”

As he spoke, Yang Tianfu took out two stones like ice cubes from the drawer under his workbench, one was red and the other was blue.

Maybe it was because he saw Han Peacock's surprised look, Yang Tianfu smiled and said, "You don't think this is jadeite, right?" ”

Han Peacock guessed something at this time, so he was even more surprised: "These can't be produced in the undersea vein we found, right?" ”

Yang Tianfu said with a smile: "It's produced there, these two pieces are top-grade chalcedony, you won't really see it as jadeite, right?" ”

Han Peacock smiled and said, "I've been there for a short time, and I haven't seen much ore, but if you hadn't sued me, I would have thought this was jadeite." ”

Yang Tianfu said with a smile: "I finally know that you are not omnipotent, the color of chalcedony is also very rich, there are dark green, apple green, blue, etc., among which green is the most beautiful, but often some people can't tell the difference between chalcedony and jade, and the difference between chalcedony and jade is still very big."

First of all, to figure out the definition of the two, in mineralogy, the strict definition of jade only includes a very small number of jade varieties, such as jadeite, Hetian jade, etc., which does not have chalcedony, but the concept of "jade" is much larger, chalcedony is one of the jade.

Secondly, the composition of chalcedony and jade is different, which is an important reason for the difference between the two, the main components of jade are Ca2 (Mg, Fe)5Si8O22 (OH)2); The main component of chalcedony is silica, which is an aggregate of cryptocrystalline quartz, so it seems that they are not the same kind of substance.

In jade, the jade that is easy to be confused with chalcedony is aventurine stone, dense jade, jasper, etc., so it is especially necessary to pay attention to it when purchasing, and they can be distinguished from the texture and color.

Green jadeite, turquoise, etc., are also easy to be confused with chalcedony, and they can also be carefully observed and identified, green jadeite is fibrous, chalcedony does not; Turquoise, low transparency, low hardness, porcelain luster.

But because there are many types of jade, it cannot be compared with commonality and chalcedony, so there are really many jade similar to chalcedony, like chrysoprase and green jadeite, the surface of chrysoprase is bright and the texture is delicate. The color is usually apple green, and you can see different shades of dù, which is translucent.

Chrysoprase is brittle and can fade when heated or exposed to sunlight. Green jadeite has a variable speckle crystal interweaving structure, spotted or fibrous jadeite crystals can be seen, the appearance is vitreous, mostly translucent or transparent, and the emerald color is rich and pure. In terms of weight, chrysoprase with a specific gravity of 2.60 is much lighter than jadeite with a specific gravity of 3.24~3.43. ”

"The best is chrysoprase? Do we have any output there? Han Peacock listened to Yang Tianfu babble a lot, but he was only interested in the key points.

Yang Tianfu said: "Chrysoprase is mostly produced in Australia. Therefore, chrysoprase is also known as Australian jade, because it contains nickel inside, so it appears green, and chrysoprase is mostly lumpy when it is produced, and it is irregular plate-like.

And blue chalcedony is mostly produced in the eastern part of China's bend island, what is blue chalcedony? The color of blue chalcedony is blue, and the color is not only beautiful but also very distinct, mostly translucent. Because the quantity of blue chalcedony is very scarce, it is also relatively expensive.

Carnelian is mostly produced in India, Brazil, Japan, Gansu, Su and Ning, Xia and other places in China, carnelian because it contains trace iron oxide to color, but because the concentration of trace iron oxide is different, so carnelian has light red and dark red and maroon and other reds.

Perhaps because your territory is close to the island and Japan, I only found blue chalcedony and carnelian among the raw jade ore that was transported, and not chrysoprase. ”

"Chalcedony is agate?" After listening to so much, Han Peacock also felt a little taste.

Yang Tianfu laughed when he heard it, he was already able to determine at this time that Han Peacock really didn't know much about chalcedony, so he smiled and popularized Han Peacock again: "The correct concept is that agate contains chalcedony, so chalcedony must belong to a type of agate, but agate is not all chalcedony, like the famous Huanglong jade, which is chalcedony."

Chalcedony is known as the sister jade of agate, few people know this, and when we choose jewelry made of agate and chalcedony, how to distinguish whether we see chalcedony or agate?

Agate is a low-grade jade raw material, with an anaphthic structure (that is, no crystalline particles can be seen), with obvious banded stripes, glass luster, which is easy to distinguish, while chalcedony is microcrystalline, without band-like texture, glass to grease luster. ”

"Just tell me about the value of this thing." What Han Peacock wants to know most now is whether this thing is worth anything or not.

Yang Tianfu said unhappily: "We are also artists, and you are also half an artist, how can you only see money?" ”

Han Peacock said with a smile: "If the value is not high, there is no need to spend a huge price to mine, after all, it is a vein in the ocean, and the mining cost still needs to be considered." (To be continued......)
