A few people were about to go out when Mr. Ma walked in.

He looked ashamed and said: "Boss Liu told me that you would help him choose the stone, so I won't come forward. However, I still have to put in some effort. I will teach you a lesson and pass on my lifelong knowledge to you."

"

Hu Shengsong was very reluctant: "Old man, you'd better carve out our bracelet pendant as soon as possible. In terms of experience, I'm not as good as you, but after last night's battle, I think the actual combat experience of our two brothers is not much different."

One sentence made Mr. Ma feel a little unable to step down. Li Moyang hurriedly stopped Hu Shengsong. He let Mr. Ma into the guest room, sat on the sofa, made tea and water, and treated him respectfully, which gave Mr. Ma enough face. He smiled and said: "Ma

Sir, to be honest, we really don’t have any theoretical experience, so I’ll spare you some time and teach us juniors some lessons so that we can gain some knowledge.”

Mr. Ma's face finally became clear. In fact, he came here because he felt sorry for Boss Liu Qing and wanted to make up for Liu Qing. In short, it was not appropriate for him to go out and collect rough stones from various companies. He could only use this method.

Helping Li Moyang and the others can be regarded as helping Liu Qing in a curve.

"Okay, actually, I'm very optimistic about you. Youth is the greatest capital, so let me tell you, what is gambling on stones?" Mr. Ma took a sip of tea and started talking.

"We have a saying in the industry that "It's hard for a fairy to break an inch of jade." The quality and color of jadeite wool is very difficult to distinguish. It can be said that no expert can definitely tell whether the jadeite wool is filled with fine material or waste material. Therefore, everyone in the industry considers it

Buying wool is called "gamble on stones".

In fact, I have been doing this since I was a child. I often follow the adults to choose wool materials. Back then, the people who came to sell jadeite wool were Burmese Chinese. Many of them usually mined their own mines and transported stones to sell, so I could find good materials there.

The most direct channel."

Li Moyang asked modestly: "Do you have any experience in stone betting?"

Ma Lao did not hide his secret and said: "I usually judge the quality of jadeite from four points. First of all, you need to understand the origin of jadeite, that is, which mine in Myanmar comes from. Different origins have different characteristics.

If the jade from some production sites has too tender water, which is not good, and if the jade from other production sites has old water, the value of the jade will be much higher.

Secondly, it also depends on whether there are "python belts" and "pine flowers" on the outside of the jadeite wool. If there are patterns like python skin or patterns like pine flowers, or both, it is a good material.

In addition, there is a saying in the industry that "green follows black". If there is a black part on the outside of the jade material, it is likely to be green jade underneath. Emerald green is the top grade of jade. In addition, use a high-brightness flashlight to shine on the stone to see how it looks.

How is the light transmittance? The more light transmittance, the higher the "water" and the higher the quality of the jadeite."

Li Moyang understood something: "I see, then how should we identify the jade stalls?"

Mr. Ma took a sip of tea and continued: "Usually when we look at jade, we measure the value of a jade work of art from its five aspects: "seed", "water", "ground", "color" and "work"." Water

"Zhong" means different things in different schools, but the most commonly used one here is: "Zhong"

"Nuo type", "Nuo Bing type", "Ice type" and "Glass type" refer to the thickness of the crystal particles. Generally speaking, the smaller the crystal particles and the finer texture, the better the quality.

On the contrary, the larger the crystal particles, the worse the jadeite. "Glass jadeite" is the top-grade jadeite species.

"Water" is usually divided into one part water, two parts water and three parts water. Usually, a flashlight is used to illuminate it to see how many millimeters the light can pass through. The higher the number of millimeters, the greater the "water head" of the jade product.

Both the base and the color consider the overall quality of jadeite. The "base" is the "tray" that sets off the green, and is a comprehensive consideration of some water species other than green. The "color" is based on "green" being the most valuable, and green is the most valuable.

For your respect, emerald green is the highest state of jadeite.

"Work" naturally refers to the workmanship of jade products, which must be identified from two aspects: "shape" and "spirit". If it is also a dragon carving, the details of the carving process must be examined, such as the dragon whiskers and the fineness of the dragon scales.

If you can carve a dragon's beard into hair, it will not take several years of craftsmanship. What "gods" look at is the expressiveness of the sculpture and its "aura".

When Mr. Ma said that, he became more interested here, and without any secrets, he started to talk a lot. Hu Shengsong, Song Yiming, and Li Moyang, who had been very interested from the beginning, were all fascinated.

Jadeite gambling techniques mainly focus on color. Jadeite gambling is actually the jadeite raw material. There are two kinds of jadeite raw stone: mountain material and jadeite material. Mountain material is mined directly from the jadeite mine.

It has no skin, irregular shape, many edges and cracks, rough and loose structure, not very good quality, and is not a gambling stone.

The gravel is the gravel of jadeite. This is formed when jadeite rocks roll down the hillside after being weathered and broken, and are carried into ravines or streams by floods or rivers. During the rolling and transportation process, the edges and corners of the jadeite ore fragments are rounded.

, the original cracked or loose parts were ground

Fall off or collapse. At the same time, the surface is weathered into a layer of skin of varying thicknesses, so that the jade fragments turn into approximately round or oval gravels wrapped by the skin. The gravels can be large or small, and some can be several large.

Thousands of tons, or even tens of thousands of tons, as small as the size of a thumb.

Most of the jadeite raw material trading market is jadeite gravel, which is jadeite gravel. Since the surface of the gravel is blocked by a layer of weathered leather shell, the internal situation cannot be seen. People can only choose according to the characteristics of the leather shell and the "doors" opened locally.

Use your own experience to infer the quality of the jade inside the stone.

This makes it very difficult to identify the quality of jadeite raw materials in the jade raw material trade. Such transactions are quite similar to gambling, so people call the skinned jade raw materials gambling stones, gambling materials or gambling goods.

This kind of business behavior is also called stone gambling. Since it is gambling, no one is sure of winning. Even experienced experts will inevitably make mistakes sometimes, which is quite risky.

However, the excitement of gambling, the mystery of gambling and the pleasure of gambling drive many people to engage in stone gambling. Therefore, some people can become rich overnight, and they can turn from street gangsters into millionaires in an instant; some people can go bankrupt in an instant.

Going from a millionaire to a pauper happens all the time.

Betting on stones is usually based on color, betting on true colors. In addition, there is betting on the species, the species must be good, the species must be old, and the species must be alive; the bet on the land is to bet on its fineness, water, and cleanness;

There are bets on cracks, fog, and ringworm. It is difficult to bet well, so people say "nine times out of ten you bet, you lose." In the jade trading market, most of the jadeite is jadeite, that is, jadeite gravel.

Since the surface of the gravel is blocked by a layer of weathered crust, the inside of the stone cannot be seen. Even today with advanced science and technology, there is no instrument that can penetrate the crust and see clearly the quality of the jadeite inside the block. Therefore,

In transactions, people can only rely on betting to judge whether it is good or bad inside, so there is

The concept of "gamble on stone" has been introduced. Therefore, people call the raw material of jadeite with skin as gambling stone. Since it is gambling, no one is sure of winning. Even experienced experts will inevitably make mistakes, which is quite risky.

Sex. However, the mystery and fun of stone gambling make many people choose the stone gambling industry.

Although stone gambling is a kind of civilized "gamble", outsiders call stone gambling a "madman's" business: "A madman buys, a madman sells, and another madman is waiting." It can be said that it describes the true state of this industry in a profound way.

.In the stone gambling circle, people often hear that someone made a fortune by gambling on a big stone. It is rare to hear that someone went bankrupt, went crazy, or committed suicide because of gambling. This is because people in this circle are accustomed to only

We talk too much about success and rarely talk about failure.

In the past, I often saw a crazy man in his 30s on the streets of Tengchong. He didn't speak, his clothes were dirty, and he just waved his hands and made signs of chopping things. It turned out that he spent more than 20,000 yuan at the expense of his own money.

I bought a jadeite rough stone with high hopes, but please explain the jadeite stone.

Gong cut it open with a knife, but it turned out to be a stone, not worth a penny. More than 20,000 yuan of blood was gently ruined by this knife. This knife severely damaged his brain nerves. He went crazy and could not return home.

, and then he slashed and gestured with his hands left and right, it was terrible to see.

When Mr. Ma said this, everyone was sighing. Hu Shengsong said with lingering fear: "Betting on stones is risky, so please be careful when entering this industry!"

Hu Shengsong's attitude just now was a bit repulsive, but now Mr. Ma finally recognized Hu Shengsong.

"Time is tight, and you still have to go out to select rough stones. I will mainly talk about how to distinguish between real and fake stones. Remember, this is the most important thing." Mr. Ma has an old habit and cannot change it, so he starts to act arrogant again.

Li Moyang didn't care in his heart. He had remote sensing capabilities, and fakes couldn't fool him, but it was always right to learn more knowledge. Hu Shengsong and Song Yiming also put aside their contempt at this time and listened to the lecture with an open mind.

Mr. Ma was very satisfied with the state of the three young people. He explained in detail the method of distinguishing true and false gambling stones.

The sale of raw jadeite is the most mysterious transaction in the jewelry world. Her mystery lies in the word "gamble", so buyers also have the saying of gambling on jade or gambling on stones.

Many Laokeng species often have a layer of skin on the surface. Due to oxidation, the skin has turned into brownish red, brownish black or other various colors. Generally, it is not possible to tell its true "Lushan" appearance just from the appearance. Even if it is scientifically

Changming, today, there is no

An instrument can quickly determine through this shell whether it is "precious jade" or "bad jade". Buyers of jade must start from the rough stone wrapped in a leather shell, and sometimes open a "window" in the skin and wipe off small pieces.

The jade quality is exposed from the leather shell to judge the value of the jade.

This kind of buying and selling process is a process in which buyers and sellers compare their opinions on a piece of skinned jade. After Myanmar jade merchants bet on the stone, when it is actually cut and processed, they generally do not dare to be present in person. Instead, they burn incense nearby and pray for God's blessing.

If there is a lot of clear emerald green inside the cut gambling stone, you can become a millionaire overnight, which is called "gamble increase"; if the gambling stone is cut into a piece of gray sand and is green on the outside and white on the inside.

, you will lose your fortune overnight, which is called in jargon.

Since the Qing Dynasty, jadeite has become a high-end type of jade favored by Chinese people. It is also since the Qing Dynasty that various fake jadeite products, such as raw-colored, dyed, baked-colored jade, etc. that pretend to be good jade have begun to appear on the market.

Therefore, the phrase "There is no expert in jade" except

In addition to explaining the complexity and variety of jadeite varieties, it also reveals the cleverness and variety of various counterfeiting techniques. In particular, the development of modern science has made some fakes look like real ones. Even connoisseurs sometimes have their "eyes" dropped.
