Chapter 35: Cutting Stones
Liu Hao did not respond, but this kind of place is also his ideal place to live. But this may be the family business of his wife's lover, so he is somewhat uncomfortable, perhaps, this is jealousy!
In the courtyard, under the grape trellises, there are a lot of stones, there are more than a dozen people picking and sorting, and there are two stone cutters on the side, surrounded by a group of people, it seems that someone is cutting stones on the machine.
Gambling stone is very mysterious, jadeite after mining, there is a layer of weathered skin wrapping, can not know the quality of it, need to cut to know whether it contains jadeite, if there is, and the color is very good, you can make a lot of money, it is called a gambling stone. And now the cutting in front of you is the so-called calcite.
You can get rich overnight, but the vast majority end in failure, so you can play a little and not overdo it.
Unprocessed jadeite rough on the market is called "wool". In the jadeite trading market, the wool is also called "stone", the wool full of green is called "color goods", the uneven green wool is called "flower brand material", and the large wool without high emerald is called "brick material".
The most lucrative and tempting jade trade, but also the most risky, is the gambling stone. There is a saying in the jewelry world: gambling on stones is like gambling on life. If you win the bet, you will earn ten times and a hundred times, and you will become a monopoly overnight; The gamble collapsed, and everything went to zero. Compared to gambling stone trading, stocks, real estate, etc. are dwarfed.
With a "click", a piece of the correct stone was cut off.
Everyone looked over, and someone wailed: "Collapsed ......"
The voice is miserable and inaudible!
"Immortals can't break an inch of jade, who can tell clearly in the stone? It's also normal to cut down. One man spoke up and comforted.
It's really 360 lines, leading, shouting, comforting, and facilitating transactions, all of which are learning.
The owner who bought the stone was a little unwilling, and said to the master of the stone: "Master, I will cut it myself." ”
The master gave way to the space, and the man picked up the leftover stone and began to polish it slowly, but someone was impatient and said, "Boss, like you, when will it be?" ”
The man didn't care, continued to polish, and after a while, his hand was sore, so he still gave it to the master, and drew the line for the master to cut.
It's really easier said than done!
Someone brought another stone, the skin of this wool is good, and when he asked if he needed 150,000 yuan, the man hesitated and looked at the stone again, Liu Hao and Wu Yuqing were also standing next to him, and they were also looking at this piece of wool.
This piece of jadeite rough stone has a jaw, and the performance looks good, but after Liu Hao finished reading it, he shook his head slightly, and Wu Yuqing saw it and made a silent gesture.
Eventually, the man made up his mind, took out his card, paid for it, fixed the stone, and cut it off the edge.
The machine made an extremely harsh sound, but it did not hinder the mood of everyone to watch. Watching the calcite is a very exciting process, following the calcite knife up and down, and the mood is the same as riding a roller coaster.
In about ten seconds, the jadeite rough was cut into a small piece by the calcing machine.
"Huh! It's foggy. ”
"It's up."
I saw that some white flocculent stones appeared in the incision, which everyone called white mist. The fog is often a layer that covers the jadeite, as if to protect the jadeite from being seen by others.
It is very likely that there will be jade out of the fog, which is the consensus of everyone. As a result, the onlookers began to get a little agitated.
"200,000 or not for sale?" Someone asked.
"I'll pay 500,000 yuan, will I sell it?" There are people who want to buy it at a high price.
The owner of the jadeite rough shook his head and refused, people, always greedy and insufficient.
This is the psychology of gamblers, who want to win more when they win, and want to win back when they lose. Therefore, gamblers generally do not have good results, after all, people's luck cannot be so good, and it is normal to lose nine out of ten bets.
Everyone was interested all at once, and even the people in the stone pile gathered around, and at this point, the people who were careful were not cut, and most of them used wiping. Fix the stone in the other direction of the machine and start grinding it off little by little with a grinding wheel.
Rubbing stones is an ancient rule that works well and is safe. The part is not accurate, it is cut with a knife, it is a blind movement, it will "unravel" the green, and it is often easy to lose the bet, which is a taboo for gambling stones.
Rubbing the stone to see the fog, looking at the bottom and looking at the color, is one of the tricks to judge jade.
With the wipe, you can light and look inside, and judge the depth, width, and shade of green. If the wipe mouth is small, you can continue to wipe wide, as long as there is green, even if the area of the wipe is expanded, even if the whole leather shell is wiped off, the exposed △ is all green.
Master Jie Shi was very careful in his movements, and his mind was highly concentrated. He wiped about 0.2 centimeters into it, and suddenly noticed that there was green, and immediately stopped.
Then, the incision is washed with water, and a touch of green appears in front of everyone's eyes.
"It's green."
"Big rise."
"It looks like a hibiscus seed!"
The overall feeling of hibiscus jadeite is as soft and delicate as a hibiscus flower out of water, pure and clear, and jadeite insiders refer to this kind of jadeite as "hibiscus seed" for short.
The water of this jadeite is worse than that of ice jadeite, the crystal is slightly coarse, the jadeite is visible to the naked eye, the light transmission ability is poor, between weak transparency and translucency, the color is light green, and the green hue is relatively pure.
Although the color and water are not very good, the light green and soft meat texture give the whole an elegant and elegant delicateness, which makes people feel very warm.
In the past, hibiscus jadeite belongs to low-grade jadeite, but in the modern jadeite market is mid-range jadeite, the smaller size of the hibiscus pendant is general, the price is about a few thousand yuan, and the price is slightly higher than the color is slightly stronger. If it is a hibiscus jade bracelet, its price will be much higher, between tens of thousands of yuan and hundreds of thousands of yuan.
After rubbing another part, everyone saw a large area of green, and the people who had been clamoring before quieted down, and it seemed that there was no interest in an instant.
Someone asked, puzzled, "Isn't it more valuable?" ”
Some people even said with a wry smile: "This is called 'I'd rather buy a line than a piece!'" ’。 ”
Then some people popularized science, when the green appears in a large area of flakes on the epidermis, it is mostly epidermal green, and its interior is often no green; And when the green color appears in a linear or clumpy shape on the epidermis, especially when the green lines exposed on the epidermis are symmetrically distributed, the green lines will extend inward, even through the whole gravel.
I quickly came to the conclusion that a cut was made on the other side, and I didn't see any white, green, ordinary stone.
"It's broken!"
"I can produce at most 30,000 or 40,000 yuan, and I lose money."
The two of them saw that there was no excitement, so they went to the side to pick a stone.
Liu Hao saw that most of these gambling stone wool are the materials of the new field, there is a difference between the old field and the new field, the new field is mainly the recently mined field, the new field is characterized by no skin or less skin, the internal and external changes are not large, the texture is relatively coarse, and the high value is not much.
