Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Second Uncle
Hetian jade, Lantian jade, Dushan jade, Xiuyan jade, these are the four famous jade in China.
Needless to say, Hetian jade, when it comes to this, almost everyone knows that this is the first of nephrite.
The fame of Lantian jade is also great, and the heirloom jade seal made by Qin Shi Huang was carved from Lantian jade. It's just that the deposits of Lantian jade can no longer be found, and only the legend of Lantian jade is left on the rivers and lakes.
Although Dushan jade is not as big as Hetian jade and Lantian jade in the name, it has a very long history of use, more than 6,000 years.
More than 20 years ago, the price of Dushan jade was not high, because at that time, the mining of Dushan jade was disorderly mining, and the situation of indiscriminate mining was very serious. Later, in order to protect Dushan jade, the state began to restrict the mining of Dushan jade, which led to a great decline in the production of Dushan jade.
As the saying goes, scarcity is expensive, in the case of less and less Hetian jade and no trace of Lantian jade, Dushan jade began to emerge, and its price is also rising day by day.
More than ten years ago, Dushan jade was not very valuable, at least compared to Hetian jade, but in recent years, the price of Dushan jade has risen considerably.
In particular, the price of top-level Dushan jade has risen sharply. Now the collectible Dushan jade on the market has reached the price of two or three thousand yuan per gram.
In fact, don't look at Dushan jade, which is far less famous than Hetian jade, and the price is less than one-tenth of Hetian jade, but the top Dushan jade is actually very beautiful.
Judging the quality of Dushan jade is also the first thing to look at the texture, just like the "species" of jadeite.
The real top-level Dushan jade is translucent or nearly transparent, and the texture is dense, delicate, no cracks, no white tendons and impurities, the color is single and uniform, and it looks similar to the jadeite of high ice or even glass species.
But this kind of translucent or nearly transparent Dushan jade is very rare, and most of them are opaque jade species, just like the bean seeds in jadeite. And most of the Dushan jade doesn't look as oily as the bean seeds.
This affects the value of Dushan jade, if it is not for the color of Dushan jade enough, far beyond jadeite, maybe this Dushan jade will not stand in the ranks of the four famous jade......
The color of Dushan jade is colorful, and it can be said that it is the most colorful of the four famous jades, but the recognized top Dushan jade is sky blue jade.
Because the color of this jade is blue-green, green with blue, blue with green, although it is two colors, but these two colors are intertwined together to form a unique blue-green, which is extremely rare.
Lao Liu condensed this piece of sky blue jade weighing more than twenty kilograms with almost cheating means, if you look at it according to the evaluation criteria of Dushan jade, it is definitely enough to reach the category of special grade.
The so-called high-grade Dushan jade is judged from the aspects of transparency, color, texture, cracks and weight.
The higher the transparency, the more positive the color, the finer the texture, the larger the size and no cracks, the Dushan jade can be designated as a special Dushan jade.
And Dushan jade is different from Hetian jade and jadeite, Hetian jade and jadeite are good jade without large pieces, that is, the top Hetian jade or jadeite can hardly see a big one.
But Dushan jade is different. Dushan jade is large, and judging the quality of a piece of Dushan jade, in addition to transparency, color, texture, and cracks, the requirements for size are also very strict.
For example, a piece of Dushan jade is very good in other aspects, but it is small, only a few catties in weight, so I'm sorry, your piece of jade can't be rated as the top grade.
The top Dushan jade block cannot weigh less than 20 kilograms!
Therefore, it is very rare to achieve these Dushan jades at the same time, just like mutton fat jade and glass jade.
Now in front of Bai Dexing and his son, this piece of Dushan sky blue jade is such a piece of nearly transparent, pure blue-green, tight and delicate texture, no cracks, no white tendons, no cotton willow, no impurities, and a very large piece of top sky blue jade.
If it had been placed twenty or thirty years ago, such a top-grade azure jade might still be able to see a few pieces a year. But now the output of Dushan jade has plummeted from thousands of tons a year to less than 500 tons a year, and such a top material is almost impossible to see in a year.
"Good things, good things...... Bai Dexing and his son praised almost in unison, and Bai Jinbo gently stroked this piece of jade with his hand, as if he was touching his daughter-in-law......
"Little sulphur, where did you get this material? It's too rare to get this kind of material now. After the two of them complained for a while, Bai Dexing remembered to ask about the origin of this piece of material.
After all, such a piece of material is worth more than eight figures, and he can't figure out the source, even Bai Dexing doesn't dare to take it.
The state is now very strict about this.
"It's not mine. Lao Liu said very simply, "Also, Uncle Bai, if you call me a little sulfur hooligan again, I won't sell this piece of material!"
"Okay, okay, is it the uncle's mistake, okay? I'll apologize to you......" Bai Dexing was immediately taken.
Just kidding, if you can't take such a piece of excellent material, this can cost Bai Dexing's life.
He has played with jade all his life, received the imperial green of Laokeng glass, and played with the top mutton fat jade, but he has never touched such a big and good texture of sky blue jade!
Bai Jinbo gave Lao Liu an elbow, and said angrily: "Hurry up, if you kid doesn't say it, beware of brother suing your mother to ......"
", how old are you? Why are you still a brother! Why did you use the method of suing your parents when you were a child? Are you ashamed?" Lao Liu rolled his eyes and slammed back.
When he was a child, Lao Liu was not less affected by his mother's broom because of Bai Jinbo's complaint......
"Well, Uncle Bai, Brother Bai, this piece of material was left by my second uncle, I didn't find it before, and it was only rummaged out from under the bed a few days ago. As for where my second uncle got it from, I don't know, but this piece of material should be absolutely fine. ”
Anyway, the second uncle is no longer here, just shake the pot when you should shake it, you can't run down and ask my second uncle, right?
Bai Dexing nodded.
He has a good relationship with Liu Moang's family, and naturally knows Liu Dajiang. Although he hasn't seen each other for many years, he also knows that Liu Dajiang is definitely a strange person, and when he walked the rivers and lakes back then, he didn't pour out good things.
"Xiao Ang, since this is the case, then our family will not talk to each other. This piece of material is enough for the high-grade sky blue jade, and I plan to accept it. Bai Dexing only thought about it and made a decision.
"As for the price, I can give you two thousand eighty-one grams, and after a while, I will weigh it and see how much this material weighs, and I will transfer the money to you." ”
Bai Dexing's family has played jade for four generations, and his family background is very rich, and he can still get tens of millions.
