Gobi jade with gem light, has not been identified whether it belongs to jade or crystal, surprising luster, rare quality, so that the price of gem light is much higher than the price of Gobi jade, close to the mutton fat jade of Hetian, a gem with a diameter of 5 cm The market price is as high as more than 100,000 yuan.

However, the value of each piece of jade is still determined by personal preference, and it is a treasure for those who like it, and a stone for those who don't like it.

It was because he had heard of this exquisite Gobi jade for a long time that Han Peacock would enter the Gobi at the first stop after leaving the Kunlun Mountains.

The Gobi at night is very beautiful, and when evening approaches, drive to the vast Gobi of Chagantunge.

The sunset is getting closer and closer to the horizon, the vast Gobi shows a different charm from the day due to the reflection of the sunset, the refraction of the sunlight makes every stone on the Gobi have a layer of aperture, on the undulating hillside, covered with blood red, blue, white, orange and yellow stones, one by one crystal clear, like a witch's pearl, but also adds a little mystery to here.

Stone lovers often say, the stone is particular about a "edge" word, at this time standing in the Gobi Desert under the sunset, stepping on the colorful stones, who would have thought that these seemingly ordinary stones, how many crystal agate and beautiful Gobi jade, and which one is related to themselves?

Leaning over and picking up a red stone and holding it in his hand, the stone is cold, and it is here watching the sunrise and sunset, enjoying a thousand years of peace. After 10,000 years of transformation, the current beauty has been formed, so every stone is a gift from the gods.

According to legend, in ancient times, there were loopholes in the sky. The waters of the heavens poured down, and Xinjiang became a vast sea, and the four seasons were chaotic and creatures were suffering.

Nuwa Niangniang mends the sky, and quarries five-color stones in the new and Xinjiang Altai Mountains, Tianshan Mountains and Kunlun Mountains.

After successfully mending the sky, Nuwa Niangniang saw that the heavens and the earth were running normally, and she felt a sense of joy, mixed feelings, and tears welled up in her eyes. Two teardrops fell into the mortal world, and one tear floated to Xin, Xinjiang and Hetian, and the stone moistened by this tear turned into Hetian beautiful jade.

When another tear fell, it passed through a rainbow over the Junggar and Gar basins, and after falling into the basin, it turned into Gobi colored jade.

The car was driving on the Gobi Desert, and I saw the roadside by the headlights, and there was no snow at all.

Qian Mingyuan introduced. It has a desert climate and rarely rains or snows all year round. A rare snowfall in winter has long been absorbed by the thirsty desert.

"Maybe it's because the Gobi Desert is too desolate and I'm afraid of being forgotten by the world, so God has turned the Gobi stones here into jade jewelry." Listening to Qian Mingyuan's introduction, looking at the Gobi that was still sleeping outside the car, I thought that I would be able to see the magical Gobi jade after dawn. Han Peacock didn't even feel too cold.

In the evening, they stayed for one night in Chagan and Tunge, where there were garrisons and many people, where the 184th regiment was located. The population is just over 10,000 people, and there are more than 20 specialty stores that deal in various types of strange stones.

Although Gobi jade is produced in the surrounding Wu, Erhe, Heshituo, Luogai, He, and Feng counties, it is the most popular in terms of variety, yield, and color, but the destination of Han peacocks is not here.

Gobi colored jade is formed on the Gobi Desert after hundreds of millions of years, the local people are called "Karamay jade", "Ehe jade", "Wuerhe jade" due to different origins, but the texture is the same, many people will call these jade according to the local Yadan landform characteristics collectively called "Yadan jade".

Gobi jade is characterized by good oiliness, high hardness, high brightness and limited origin, limited to a few small areas in Xin, Xinjiang and northern Xinjiang, mainly with bright color jade, beautiful color, such as red, sallow, mud green, etc.

Some small materials can be directly punched as a simple and rough exquisite ornament, and some can be carved into handles or ornaments.

In the past, people regarded Hetian jade as jade, and Gobi jade only as Gobi stone, with the increase of scientific testing and collection of people in recent years, Gobi jade has become a new jade species because of its beautiful color and luster.

There are also people in the collector's circle who jokingly say that "if the delicate and gentle Hetian jade is a charming lady, the Gobi jade that has gone through thousands of years of weathering and vicissitudes is a rough northwest man."

"From being everywhere to finding a stone, it has only taken more than ten years." Qian Mingyuan said while sighing.

Before 2005, people here did not know that the oily stone, which was often held and played, would become a hundred times more valuable than today's Gobi jade.

Because there are many kinds of stones on the Gobi Desert, the locals used to pick up some beautiful agate stones, just for fun.

You can pick up a few pieces of this stone everywhere on the side of the road, but I didn't realize that it was Gobi jade at the time.

Beginning in 2005, some people came from other places to pick up, mostly for hobbies, collections, slowly, as the value of Hetian jade continues to rise, people have found the appreciation space of Gobi jade.

Huge armies of stone pickers from all over Singapore, Xinjiang and other provinces and cities across the country flock to the country, especially from April to October every year, when 30,000 to 50,000 stone pickers can be found in just one weekend, and the silence of the Gobi Desert for hundreds of years has also broken the peace.

Most of these stone pickers traveled by car, which drove the tourism economy at that time.

Relying on their natural advantages, the locals have opened strange stone franchise stores and Gobi jade grinding and processing shops, each of which generates an annual income of more than 100,000 yuan.

Stone pickers or stone buyers also bring a large number of local strange stones or Gobi jade rough stones to all parts of the country, but in 5 years, the Gobi jade that was originally everywhere on the Gobi Desert has become hard to find, and even the agate stone, which was rarely cared for before, has become very rare.

At present, the value of Gobi jade has risen more than 100 times, so although there are a lot of Gobi jade here, there are more people who come here to pick up Gobi jade every year.

Picking up jade here now is to try your luck, unless you are unlucky, otherwise, trying to pick up the gem light is almost the same as dreaming.

Gobi jade is so rare now. Gem light is naturally rarer, that is, because it is rare, so Han Peacock is more interested.

She was born in the vast Gobi, under the scorching sun and wind, and is as hazy and enchanting as fog, and it has already caught people's attention without carving.

Many people are vying for it. The owner is even more in love with a treasure.

In the beautiful Irtysh River Basin, on the northwest edge of the vast Jungear Basin, people found a beautiful stone - golden silk jade, in which the jewel-like light of the stone is called.

Geology and mining experts say this: the original rock of the stone species is mostly distributed in the alluvial alluvial gravel layer formed in the Tertiary period, because of the hard texture, in recent years, it is mostly used for processing carved parts, crystal clear, bright colors. It will transmit a strong light in the sun, and the local stone friends call it "gem light", the stone resource stock is very large, and the development prospect is good.

Gem light is a kind of chalcedony, in the more than 40 kinds of chalcedony that have been found so far, the most peculiar and precious is a variety called light chalcedony, the color is beautiful and can be used as a gem chalcedony.

The name is derived from Karen, where it was first discovered, due to the harsh environment and geological conditions of the Xin, Xinjiang Junggar and Er basins. It has created a more unique fluorescent chalcedony in the world, which is now only found in the Gobi in the Xin, Jiangzhun and Gar Basins. Very precious.

This fluorescent chalcedony is an orange to red translucent chalcedony, with a delicate texture, crystal clear, pure and thick color, high hardness, and a crisp and melodious sound when gently tapped. It is produced by high temperature and high pressure when meteorites hit the mining area, and the red color is caused by iron oxide impurities, which is the sister stone of ruby, which is very rare.

The quality is translucent, transparent and red. The color is like a glow, soft and beautiful, in addition to red, there are orange, yellow and white.

The reserves of golden silk jade are large, but the amount of gemstone light is very small.

The production of chalcedony in the world is not low, but the production of good chalcedony, such as Australian jade and Taiwan, Bay Blue Treasure, etc., is very scarce, so the price is very high.

However, as the newly discovered red, white and yellow jade, the gemstone light in the golden silk jade is of fine quality, rich in color, and the natural warm shape sharpened by the wind and sand, known as jade seed material, without any polishing and carving, it is beautiful and elegant, so it is deeply favored by collectors everywhere.

What's more, this beautiful chalcedony, which only exists on the Gobi Desert, has no veins to inquire about, so its yield is even less than that of Hetian jade.

Therefore, the price of gemstone light is booming, and there is a scientific basis rather than a reason for speculation as the folk legend goes.

"Is gemstone light really that expensive?" Walking next door in the desolation, Huang Shan asked.

"For the potential of gemstone light collection, you can refer to Taiwan, Bay Bluepunk, etc., and there is more room for value-added than it." Han Peacock said while looking at his feet.

Early in the morning, Han Peacock and they entered the Gobi, first by car, and when the car couldn't move, they went down and walked directly, and after dawn, when Qian Mingyuan said the place, they began to look for Gobi jade.

"Jade is jade, is there really jade that can be compared to gemstones?" Although Wei Changqing had been to Hotan a few times, he really hadn't personally looked for Gobi jade, so it was even less worth having a top-grade chalcedony like a magical gem light.

"Karamay gemstone light has the characteristics of beauty, rarity, durability, and can be processed into ornaments, which fully meets the definition of natural gemstones, and it is certain that gemstone light is a gemstone." Han Peacock said.

"Karamay? I've only heard of a Karamayi jade. "Huangshan Road.

"Then you know by now, there is also a kind of Karamay jade here called Jewel Light." Han Peacock said with a smile.

"Then I have to look carefully, this time I came out, but I have to make enough money for my wife." Huang Shan said with a smile.

"Then you have to find a superb jewel light, or no girl will want to marry you." Qian Mingyuan said jokingly.

Huang Shan pursed his lips and said: "As long as something becomes the best, there won't be much, I won't be so greedy, oops!" This can't be a jewel light, right?
