Chapter 1154 Crazy Stone
"The color of topaz seeds is often very light or seemingly absent, and if the color is strong, 99% of it is polished and changed from Brazilian mountain material." Qian Mingyuan explained with a smile.
Qian Mingyuan said: "Topaz is not precious, if the color is not bright and transparent, the value is even lower, it can still be fried, if it were me, I would rather buy amethyst, buy peridot, buy garnet, than these." ”
Wei Changqing said: "It's not easy to buy even if you want to buy it now, and it's difficult to invest in topaz materials." ”
Qian Mingyuan nodded and said, "Yes!" In July last year, a friend of mine once received goods in Dure Township, Fu and Yun County, he said: Xinjiang is too big, and it is too far away, and it takes a month to receive a shipment, and often it is not much to collect, and the output is too small. ”
Han Peacock said with a smile: "Regardless of whether the topaz is good or not, the scarcity of resources is stored, as long as the topaz seed resources are lacking, the price continues to rise is certain, at present, investors buy topaz materials, mainly through the guò origin market direct channels, in the near future may establish more channels."
Topaz is expected to become an investment upstart, we still have the opportunity now, or look for more, the province of Patostone will be fried, we have no goods in hand. ”
Qian Mingyuan said: "Topaz is already difficult to pick up in Du and Heat, in 2002, I could pick up more than a dozen kilograms a day in a 'confused', and now I can't pick up a thumb-sized piece a day, not to mention picking up topaz, even Gobi crystals are very few, and the power of people is really great!" ”
Wei Changqing said: "I don't know about other places, Hetian's side, it's crazy." So, are there any stones that don't burn? ”
Gu Tong nodded in agreement: "People are crazy, everything is crazy." ”
"It's okay to be crazy for the sake of these beautiful stones." Huangshan, who usually doesn't like these things very much, is very optimistic about the gem light, which is mainly because. The jewel light is indeed beautiful.
Han Peacock said with a smile: "These stones with 'gem light' are not ordinary stones, they are typical chalcedony, that is, gemstones, and they are very perfect gemstones, such gems, even if they are not carved, they are very beautiful, otherwise they will not be wildly sought after." ”
Qian Mingyuan said: "If the gem can not be carved, it will not be carved, and the plain color and luster of the original stone should be maintained as much as possible." ”
Zhao Dongke also came over at this time: "Ordinary golden silk jade is also a treasure." It is also not carved indiscriminately, to try to maintain its natural form, play the original stone is the best, because we have not yet understood it clearly, it is better to leave it to future generations, you can develop its value to the maximum. ”
"Of course it's a good thing, but it's not a rare thing now." Han Peacock said regretfully.
"Golden Silk Jade" is produced in the 100-kilometer radius of Wuerhe Devil City, Karamay City, Xinjiang, terraces, Gobi Desert, desert and other regions. It is a very promising variety of jade that can be used to carve works of art. Because the jade produced on the ancient Silk Road is golden yellow and has a radish pattern inside, it is named "golden silk jade".
"Golden silk jade" is mainly produced in the secondary deposits transported by rivers for long distances, and has a high ornamental and collection value after carving, it is a unique variety in our country, with the continuous mining, it is now difficult to find in the wild.
And the gemstone light is the best in the golden silk jade. So there are fewer of them.
Zhao Dongke said: "Before 2003, when you went to Quarry Beach, it was not a problem for a person to pick up 1,000 catties of 'golden silk jade' a day, but now, you may not even be able to pick up 1 piece." Not to mention the high-level 'jewel light'. ”
Qian Mingyuan said: "In recent years, we have often heard golden silk jade lovers say this: under such circumstances, it is not surprising that the price of the rough stone of 'golden silk jade' has increased significantly. ”
Han Peacock said: "The price increase of golden silk jade is not simply because of the scarcity of resources, anything that can be hyped is beautiful, and golden silk jade is no exception, in fact, over the years, the price of golden silk jade has risen a big reason because of the craftsmanship level of the Shanghai School master and the Lingnan master, which is the kind of great master-level craftsmanship, which has become a pair of 'wings' for the soaring price of golden silk jade." ”
Han Peacock's words, Zhao Dongke, Wei Changqing and Qian Mingyuan all agreed, they are all insiders in the industry, they are all doing business in this industry, and they naturally know why the price of Jin Siyu has risen.
Han Peacock is right, gold silk jade is a good thing, coupled with the meticulous craftsmanship of some modern masters, the artwork produced by zuò is enough to make people marvel, such a thing, the price increase is natural.
Golden silk jade belongs to quartzite jade, in hundreds of millions of years, golden silk jade in the hot and cold Gobi Desert to receive the baptism of time, and finally grow into a very stable and excellent jade variety.
It comes in a variety of colors, including red, yellow, green, black, and white...... The same color will also show different levels, and the shape is very beautiful.
At the same time, its properties are very stable, unlike Huanglongyu, which will have the phenomenon of "water loss" and "color loss", and the hardness is also very strong, which is very suitable for being carved into various handicrafts.
But the golden silk jade is not without weaknesses, its weakness is that the advent time is "too short", and there is no deep historical and cultural accumulation like Hetian jade and jadeite, which is a major injury of "golden silk jade" that has been criticized.
But Han Peacock once saw a 1,300-year-old tiger handle gold cup in the museum, which is made of red chalcedony, and the so-called "golden silk jade" should be the same quality of jade.
This shows that the history of the use of "golden silk jade" is very long, but because of the inexplicable disappearance of the ancient kingdom of Loulan, its use history was suddenly blocked.
Or maybe because the Gobi Desert has been inaccessible since ancient times, the "golden silk jade" has been unknown for a long time.
"We don't want to think about this kind of thing within a fixed range, as long as it is a famous place, we will never wait for us to look for it now." Wei Changqing rolled his eyes and thought of something else.
According to the investigation and exploration, the Xin, Xinjiang Zhun and Gar basins are the main production areas of golden silk jade.
"Golden silk jade" is mainly exposed and distributed in Karamay and other areas, among which the Gobi Desert in the area west of Karamay's "Devil's City" is the most famous.
The best quality and minimum production within a 100-kilometer radius around the "Devil's Town".
With this kind of limitations, those of them who entered the market late naturally have no possibility of stockpiling goods in large quantities.
"I think we should go to Luo and Bu Nur to have a look, maybe we can gain something there." Qianming is far away.
"Luo and Bu Nur are not small, the living conditions are bad, and there are few people in the past, so although we can leave something, but the area is large, we may not have anything to gain." Wei Changqing said.
Qian Mingyuan said: "I do know that some places in Luo and Bu Nur may produce gem light, so it is better for us to try our luck, even if we can't find the gem light, it is not difficult to find some gold silk jade." ”
Seeing that Han Peacock and Wei Changqing's eyes were focused on themselves, Qian Mingyuan explained: "It turns out that the reason why I didn't go is because the supply is too difficult, and the reason why Lop Nur is called the Sea of Death is because the living environment there is harsh, and as long as the supply is enough, we humans don't have any natural enemies, so"
Qian Mingyuan didn't say anything more, but Han Peacock and the others already understood what he meant.
As long as there are Han Peacocks, they want to use force and force, they want to be resupplied and supplied, as long as there is no pressure on logistics, there will definitely be no danger to their lives, if they don't take risks in this way, then no one dares to go.
"Let's go! Don't hesitate, we stayed here for a long time, and all we found was garbage, if we went to Luo and Bunu, there was a dry old man to lead the way, and we might have found a lot of gems by now. Wei Changqing instigated Han Peacock to say.
Because Han Peacock has space and extremely powerful force, as long as he follows Han Peacock, he doesn't have to worry about anything, so he naturally tries his best to encourage Han Peacock to go to Luo and Bunu, because in that case, it is almost impossible for them to encounter any risks.
"Don't think about 'gem light' as soon as you come up, it's not so easy to find, if you can find some 'golden silk jade' in relatively complete condition, it will also be a great gain." Qian Mingyuan immediately explained in advance that they had too many hopes to go over, but they couldn't find anything, and it would be bad to complain about him when the time came.
"Huh? I can't find the gem light when I go to Luo and Bunu? Wei Changqing's face was full of disappointment.
"If it was so easy to find, the gem light would not have such a high price, you know, the price of the highest-grade 'gem light' is 1 gram of 10,000 yuan." Zhaodong is old after all, so he doesn't have so many illusions.
"The price is so high?" This time, Wei Changqing was really surprised.
Wei Changqing didn't know the price of the best gem light, so he was surprised, it was entirely because the most on the market was still golden silk jade.
The most on the market is still the middle and low-grade gold jade, the price of such gold silk jade rough from tens of yuan, to hundreds of thousands of yuan, so compared with the best gem light of 10,000 yuan per gram, those are really garbage.
However, after knowing the price of the best gem light, Wei Changqing was even more moved, so he looked at Han Peacock with more eager eyes.
Qian Mingyuan naturally understood Wei Changqing's mood, not to mention him, even he himself was full of illusions about the best gem light, but after fantasizing for decades, he had never picked up a top gem light.
"For those who really want to enter the industry, a piece of dozens of yuan of 'golden silk jade' is the best choice, as long as you find a master who really understands it to carve, or have the opportunity to 'sparrow into a phoenix', so the market for ordinary golden silk jade is broader." Qianming is far away.
Qian Mingyuan has a deep study of various local gemstones, so he understands better what is the most potential in the market now.
Compared with the scarce amount of gemstones, the market potential of ordinary gold silk jade is greater.
But Qian Mingyuan reminded that Wei Changqing didn't pay too much attention to it, and he was still more interested in top gems like Jewel Light. (To be continued......)
