Chapter 68: Jade Mountain
This fist-sized jade mountain condensed from the hourglass of the earth is indeed a piece of pure and flawless mutton fat jade!
Lao Liu understands antiques, although he is not very proficient, let alone everyone, but he also grew up in the antique market since he was a child, and he followed his grandfather to tinker with those antiques when he was a child.
Next door to his hotel, there is a jade shop called "Stone Record", which specializes in all kinds of nephrite jadeite, mainly jadeite and Kunlun jade.
This stone is very famous in the Tianqu antique shop, the scale is also very large, the current boss is the son inherits the father's business, it is said that the current boss ancestor was the shopkeeper of a big pawnshop in Sijiu City, and has a very deep skill in identifying this piece.
Because the two families are close to each other, Lao Liu and the little boss of Shishiji have played with each other since they were young, so he has seen a lot of high-quality jade in Shiji.
When Lao Liu visited some museums in the capital, he also saw a lot of good jade, but no matter what aspect it was, Lao Liu felt that among all the white jade he had seen before, none of them could compare to the "jade mountain" in front of him.
Even if Lao Liu has seen a 3A collectible Hetian jade worth more than 30,000 grams in Shishiji, it is the treasure of Shiji's town, but that jade is far inferior to the "jade mountain" in front of him in terms of color and size.
Although mutton fat jade also belongs to the category of 3A collectible Hetian jade, 3A grade and 3A grade are not the same, and the jade in front of you is obviously the best in 3A grade.
It is no exaggeration to say that the highest grade of Hetian jade is the 3A collection grade, and if there is a 4A collection grade, this piece of jade definitely belongs to that category.
Lao Liu suppressed the excitement in his heart, put his hands into the cold river water, and gently picked up this fist-sized jade.
Washed with this clear river water and then held in your hand, the visual sensation is incomparable.
Anyone who plays antique jade knows that jadeite is the king green of the glass species of Myanmar, and nephrite jade is the king of Hetian sheep fat jade.
The meaning of this is very simple, jadeite is the most valuable imperial green in Laokeng glass, and nephrite jade is the most valuable in white jade.
It's a pity that whether it is the old pit glass imperial green or the Hetian sheep fat jade, it is something that cannot be found.
And since ancient times, it is good jade without large pieces, it is said that whether it is jadeite or Hetian jade, the better the quality of the jade, the smaller it is.
Take Hetian jade as an example, if the real mutton fat jade can make a jade card in size, it will definitely be an eye-opener.
Most of the ones that can reach the quality of mutton fat jade can produce a pendant at most.
Of course, there are also many Hetian jade that can be made into large ornaments, but they are not up to the quality of mutton fat jade.
The same applies to jadeite jadeite.
It's like the famous jade cabbage, in fact, the jade jade used is general, not to mention the glass species, even the ice species can't reach it.
Especially in modern times, the large volume of the best white jade or jadeite is even rarer.
And the piece of sheep fat jade in front of him, which is the size of a fist, if the wind is released, it will definitely be able to cause a sensation in the circle.
A fist-sized piece of jade is enough to carve a medium-sized ornament.
The most important thing is that this piece of jade is not only of excellent quality, but also of excellent appearance. No matter from that point of view, this piece of jade is a miniature small mountain, the shape is almost exactly the same as the Nianqing Tanggula Peak, and even the naturally formed traces on the jade are like the edges and corners of the mountain.
It can even be said with certainty that this piece of mutton fat jade does not need to be carved at all, and it is a vivid ornament when placed there!
That's the best!
Artificially carved jade, even if you let the best jade carving master carve it, it is definitely not as valuable as the natural formation!
Lao Liu looked at the jade mountain in the palm of his hands, he liked and was excited in his heart, and at the same time he also felt a trace of doubt.
Excitement and liking are naturally needless to mention, and anyone who suddenly gets such a large piece of the best mutton fat jade will probably be like this.
"Could it be that the reason why the hourglass of the earth was able to condense this piece of jade is also directly related to the thoughts of his own host?" Lao Liu thought with a constipated expression blinking his eyes.
"I guess there is a direct relationship. When I used the Hourglass of Earth just now, didn't I think that I would come to a jade mountain? And when I used the Hourglass of Water before, it seemed that I was very thirsty and wanted to drink water, so I thought that it would be best to have a mountain spring......
"As a result, the hourglass of water condensed a magical spring for itself, and the hourglass of earth condensed this jade mountain for itself!"
"Could it be that this Five Elements Jade can still condense what he thinks? If that's the case, wouldn't Lao Tzu be famous?"
"That miraculous spring water can't make money for you at the moment, but this piece of jade is enough to make you a lot of money. In terms of the quality and appearance of this piece of jade, if it is auctioned, the price ......"
Lao Liu, who knows something about this aspect, naturally knows that if this piece of jade is auctioned, he will definitely be able to auction a price that makes him unable to breathe!
"If the hourglass of earth can condense good jade, then what about the hourglass of gold? Will it be able to condense a huge piece of dog-headed gold for itself? What about the hourglass of wood? Will it be able to condense a piece of building wood for itself?"
Well, building wood or something is pure nonsense, but according to the hourglass of water and earth, this hourglass of wood can also condense good things.
"Well, there's an hourglass of fire, which seems a bit tricky. Don't let the hourglass of fire condense a little sun or a mini phoenix for yourself. If you really come up with this, I guess Lao Tzu should be pulled to slice......"
In a short period of time, countless thoughts crossed Lao Liu's mind, and his brain hurt a little.
Shaking his head, Lao Liu tried to stop thinking about this aspect of things.
Now Lao Liu is short of money, he is not lacking, and he is not lacking. If the hourglass of the earth can condense similar mutton fat jade or jade in the future, then Lao Liu is destined to be not short of money in the future.
But Lao Liu also knows very well that this grade of top-grade mutton fat jade can't be taken out casually, and he has to find a suitable reason to give this piece of jade a qualified source.
"Alas, it looks like maybe I have to make a trip to Hotan......" Lao Liu sighed.
This piece of jade is not small, and it weighs almost a kilogram. Even if it is not sold according to natural ornaments, it is sold according to the number of grams, and this piece of jade must be worth tens of millions!
Last year, a piece of Hetian jade, which was nearly twice as small as this piece of jade, was sold for 2.8 million yuan, and it was still just an ordinary Hetian jade rough stone with sugar skin.
But this piece of jade is all serious jade meat, and there is no variegation at all!
Although people who play jade now begin to like to play with color and skin, it is because pure white jade is becoming more and more rare. Jade is respected by white, if there is a good white jade, who the sister still plays with skin and color?
