Chapter 66: Tree Turning Jade
Beechcraft Chinese permanent website, please keep in mind!
Click, click! Although Chinese the voice was soft, it was really good in the ears, and everyone immediately calmed down and saw the stone slab that was still intact just now. Everyone saw that there was a crack in the stone slab, and it was infinitely magnifying and spreading. As for Xu Yang, he was also watching.
The slate finally shattered and fell to the ground as if the shell of an egg had been peeled off. But is it still jade? Finally someone shouted, "What is this? Look what is that?"
Lu Fang also rushed over with a brisk step, don't look at this person's age, but the speed is not slow, and the other old people also rushed over. So what is in the wool? jade, jade, or what?
"Dad, you are so amazing, so beautiful!" The Li brothers were also stupid, what the hell is this? No one can tell them. In fact, in addition to gambling on stones, the two brothers really don't know anything about jade. The two looked at it for a while and suddenly laughed: "Haha, I thought it was something." It wasn't jadeite. Xu Yang, you're going to lose! How much is this thing worth except for being pretty. Eighteen thousand?"
"Ignorance!" Xu Yang hadn't spoken yet, an old man who came with Lu Fang snorted coldly, obviously this old man is not a small one in the Jade Gate, Xu Yang doesn't know him, and the other old man is Shi Zhang, his face is not very good, it seems that he should be very sad recently, and after seeing this "jade" that Xu Yang has solved, he is also excited.
"Oh no, no!" several people shouted. The Li brothers felt a little as if their brains were not full of circuits, what was the situation? Could it be that this thing that looked like a tree was valuable? In short, the two of them had some bad premonitions in their hearts!
What Xu Yang carved out is indeed a tree. A tree about half a meter long, with stems, branches, leaves, and of course, insects. There are vines and knots! If you look at it from a distance, it's a tree! It's a real tree, but it's jade!
Xu Yang knew what this thing was called. But he didn't say it, because this thing was still better for Lu Fang and the others to say, in fact, with this thing in hand, he would have won the other party. If you don't say that you are still a master and apprentice, finally Lu Fang spoke: "You two are also from the Jade Sect." Don't worry, I'm not an old man who doesn't help my relatives, I know you two made a bet, I'll tell you what I know now. It seems that you don't know what this thing is.
This thing has a nice name called "Tree Jade". Tree jade is a jade petrified wood. It belongs to petrified wood, and it is different from ordinary petrified wood because of its crystal clear appearance. Over the course of its long history, vast tracts of primeval forests have been buried underground by the vast forces of nature. Under the environment of high pressure, low temperature and oxygen-free immersion in silica, the carbon element in the tree is gradually replaced by silica, and partially retains some of the original characteristics of the tree, and incorporates some mineral elements of the surrounding rock layer to form a colorful substance, which is petrified wood, also known as wood fossil. After a long geological period, in the continuous change of temperature and pressure, the petrified wood underwent differential metamorphism, recrystallization, and the main component was converted into opal chalcedony, which is the tree jade, also called wood jade.
Tree jade has a strong magnetic field, which is very beneficial to the human body. Muhua jade not only shows the wealth of jade with its value, but also records and provides some information about the distant era of beautiful growth rings and the vicissitudes of tree bark. It not only has high economic value, but also has extremely rare ornamental value and scientific research value. It belongs to the perfect fusion of jade, strange stones, and fossils. ”
Lu Fang said this, looked at the tree jade that Xu Yang had solved, and said with a sigh: "How to say it, the tree jade found in the past is just a branch or a tree pole, I have been the master of this jade gate for decades, and I have not heard of a complete tree jade in the world in the past few decades, but today I saw it, even if I die, I am happy." Lu Fang's words were recognized by others, and the Li family brothers' faces changed greatly, and it looked like they were going to lose!
At this time, Lu Fang continued, as if he was talking to the Li brothers, but in fact, a person was talking to himself to explain the tree jade: "The earliest wood fossil so far is the fossil of a naked fern in the early Carboniferous period. The latest is petrified wood from the Late Cretaceous period 65 million years ago. It was about 350 million years ago today!"
"There are three types of tree-shaped jade: the first type is the tree-shaped jade rough stone. It is a tree jade that has not undergone any artificial processing. This kind of tree jade is relatively difficult to find on the market, because only tree jade with a particularly good shape is not processed, and it is rare to find a tree jade with a particularly good shape.
The second type is peeling, polishing, polishing, and turning jade. Because the wood jade itself is the fossil of the tree, the tree has bark, the color of these bark is white and boring and very unsightly, only by peeling off this layer of surface bark, and then grinding and polishing it, can it show the beauty of tree jade.
The third type is sandblasting and processing tree jade. In recent years, people have come up with the idea of spraying the surface of the tree jade with emery high air pressure, spraying off the bark and impurities on the surface, leaving the jade layer in it. In this way, the tree jade can maintain the original natural shape, and the delicacy of the jade inside the tree jade can be revealed. However, due to the limitations of the current sandblasting process, the tree jade processed by this method needs to be sprayed with water or wax water in order to achieve the finish of the polishing material.
Needless to say, everyone knows what kind of tree jade you see now, it is indeed the first type, and it is also the most exquisite type of tree jade! Then I'll tell you about it, and when the time comes, you can evaluate the value of this tree jade yourself!
What I just said about classification by processing, in fact, you can also look at the material classification. This should be able to send four categories according to the material. The first type is a kind of water tree jade, this kind of tree jade is like jade, which needs to be carefully carved to reflect the exquisiteness of its jade. It is suitable for grinding and polishing, and the unique shape is suitable for sandblasting.
The second type is dry material tree jade, the so-called dry material refers to the appearance of little water, to win the shape of tree jade. It is more common in brown, less common in yellow, rarely in red, and will not be green at all. Suitable for sandblasting.
The third type is brittle tree jade, which has a color like amber and is also a little transparent, but in fact, it is completely jade. Be very careful when processing and transporting, otherwise it will break. It is now uncommon, because there is no market demand, and the Myanmar side does not provide it to Huaxia.
The fourth type is water flush tree jade, because it has been on the ground for a long time, there is basically no water, and the shape is not good. The only tree jade wholesale market in the country - Yucheng Shuhua jade market in Ruili City, Yunnan Province can not see this kind of material.
The formation of tree jade requires extremely harsh geological environmental conditions. The probability of the formation of paleontological fossils is only one in a million, and the probability of forming arboretic jade is even lower. As the world's largest producer of jade jadeite, Myanmar has unique conditions for the formation of tree jade, and it is also the country with the richest storage of tree jade found in the world. Due to the non-renewable particularity of natural fossils, one mining in the world will store one less underground, which cannot but be said to be a loss for human beings. It is also one of the national treasures of Myanmar, which has immeasurable scientific research value for the study of the meteorology, geography, plants, animals and the history of the development of the earth in ancient Myanmar.
Just take the current tree into jade, the variety of this tree is unknown to everyone, and everyone look at the little insects on it, this should also be an ancient creature! Alas, if this is to explain the matter of tree jade to everyone, even if it is said here for three days, it will not be finished. I have said so much about his worth. In this way, this tree jade is also divided into good and bad, I am telling you how to distinguish the good and bad of this tree jade.
Just now I have told you about the classification of tree jade, so now I will tell you about the identification elements of tree jade. The identification of this tree jade should be able to reflect the integrity, aesthetics, charm and collection value of the tree jade as the general principle. Specifically, it is divided into basic elements and auxiliary elements.
The second is the basic elements: color, water, and shape! The third is the auxiliary elements: insects, vines, knots, knots, crystals, growth rings, etc., transverse cracks, impurities, and purity defects, propositions, descriptions, rhymes, and matching. These three elements are also the criteria for identifying this tree jade. Of course, there are many more to come, and I said that there would be too much explanation about this tree jade. I won't say them one by one, by the way, this tree jade is the best ice seed in the tree jade planting water! The best tree water is the ice seed! I remember a sentence that best describes the value of this superb tree jade. It's called a piece of jade like a billion! A hundred million is a billion of billions!"
What else to say, Xu Yang's thing is simply priceless, and this one thing is enough to win the other party. How could the two brothers of the Li family agree, it was a treasure worth 200 million. Just kidding, so the two looked at each other and had an idea, Boss Li said: "Door master, this tree jade is indeed a priceless treasure, but today we are only betting on the value of jadeite, and this thing is no longer jadeite." How do we price it? Even if it's worth hundreds of billions, what's the point of today's gamble?"
Lu Fang frowned, Xu Yang had been smiling, it was really Xu Yang who couldn't bear it just now, he was afraid that this thing would be bought by others, and now it has indeed become the handle of the other party!
