This rough stone was fished out of the water. After countless years of erosion by the river, the shell is very clean and smooth, without any rough feeling at all.
Moreover, the color of the shell is very yellow, just like a salted duck egg, but the yellow fluid is not a wax shell.
Ye Qing touched it with his hand and found that it didn't turn or remove the sand. He raised his head and glanced at Wang Hong: "Nan Qi top grade material!"
"Brother, you have good eyesight!" Wang Hong gave a thumbs up and praised: "You don't dare to smuggle this kind of rough stone. Once you are caught, you will be shot. This rough stone was obtained from a public sale by my brother-in-law and I three years ago. When I came back, I felt itchy, but I was afraid of losing and didn’t dare to cut it myself, so I let my brother play with it while I also see what’s inside.”
Ye Qing nodded, recognizing him even more deeply.
Although Myanmar is the origin of jadeite rough stones, only a 100-kilometer narrow strip of land produces rough stones. After so many years of mining, good rough stones have become increasingly scarce. Yangon has also tightened its control, not only shutting down some old sites. , and also cracked down on smugglers.
This has made it harder and harder to find good stones on the market, and collectors have kept them in safes, waiting for prices to rise.
Nanqi is also a small market, but the rough stones produced in the small market are top-notch. Either they are not shipped, or the goods are overpriced, and it is possible to find glass species.
Shen Junyi and Bai Hu squatted beside Ye Qing to watch carefully.
Wang Hong squatted opposite and took out a flashlight: "Brother, look, it's very transparent inside and has a very yellow sheen. I didn't lie to you!"
Shen Junyi asked curiously: "Then why don't you bet yourself!"
Wang Hong had a bitter look on his face: "Seven years ago, my brother-in-law and I took a big gamble at a public auction in Yangon and bought a piece of material worth 60 million yuan. When the window was opened, it was apple green, but when cut open, it turned out to be dog shit. The color of the earth is high, the dragon has water everywhere, the color band is part of the ice waxy variety, the color has not changed, it is still apple green, but the rest of it is all rotten shit.
I could get twenty bracelets by digging them out. One bracelet was worth two to three hundred thousand, but it was worth six to seven million at most. I got it back in a fit of anger and put it on the office table as a coffee table.
Looking at it every day, I tell myself to stop gambling. This is a lesson. From then on, I opened a quarry and my brother-in-law opened a stone betting shop in Delong. "
The two girls who heard this pursed their lips and smiled.
But I also understand that you really can’t rely on luck when betting on stones. Sixty million yuan turned into a coffee table in one afternoon!
You can still afford it, if you can't afford it you just jump off the building.
Ye Qing frowned. Nanqi is one of the most important small ports. It is located in the south of the Damakan area, on the left side of Lake Endo. Most of Myanmar's rough stones come from Lake Endo and the Ulu River.
The first layer of yellow sand, the second layer of yellow and red sand, and the third layer of black sand at the entrance of Nanqi Changkou.
Yellow sand skin is a semi-mountain and semi-water material, with water and stone, and black sand skin has a thin shell, is generally foggy, and has stripes of green and yellow plus green. It is also the most valuable variety at this site. The green jadeite is formed because it contains a lot of iron, so it appears blue-green.
Southern Qi generally produces blue water materials, sea and sky blue and sea water blue, and the planting water is generally older.
Moreover, the Nanqi material with skin is old and the skin is young, so this kind of Nanqi material with skin is easy to bet on. Although you bet on color, as long as it is good, there will be no problem in growing water.
However, Nanqichangkou is located in the lower reaches of Daozhi River. The gravel has been transported over a long distance, so the stones are relatively small. Due to the high iron content, they often form yellow and green things.
This kind of stone is a hot commodity as soon as it appears. Because it is often sold out, Nanqi's materials are surprisingly expensive.
Wang Hong moved this rough stone out just to sell it at a high price!
Ye Qing looked at the material and asked casually: "Brother Wang, I have been collecting this material for several years!"
"Four or five years ago!" Wang Hong knew what he was asking. Nan Qi had small materials, and such large materials were rare.
Ye Qing looked at the mildew spots on it, wiped it with a piece of moss, dug at it with his nails, and then pulled off a small piece.
The moss root system has been firmly attached to the surface of the original stone. If it were something from the past two years, the moss would not be so strong.
Wang Hong saw him picking at moss and said with a smile: "Brother, it's not just luck!" '
"What do you mean?" Shen Junyi raised her head in surprise.
"Moss that is one or two years old can be wiped off easily, and moss that has grown for three or four years can only be picked with your nails!" Wang Hong admired: "Brother is using this method to judge whether this stone is the same as what I said. .”
Ye Qing smiled: "This stone is not cheap, so be careful, Brother Wang, don't be offended!"
Wang Hong said with a smile: "It is also its luck to meet a master with good material. How can it be strange!" He stood up and brought three more small pieces of material: "This was taken with it, it should be a swarm of bees!"
"What is a swarm of bees!" Shen Junyi asked curiously.
Wang Hong said with a smile: "These small pieces of material and this big piece of material were mined in the same place. The color of the water should be about the same, so they are called a swarm of bees."
"Brother Wang, give me a price!" Ye Qing glanced at the small material. The color was the same as the large material. The leather shell was tight and delicate. He turned on the light and tried to see if it was transparent.
Wang Hong pondered for a moment: "Three small pieces, each weighing about five kilograms. Each piece cost 30,000 euros. The larger one was more than 20 kilograms. The bidding was very strong, and it cost a total of 700,000 euros."
Ye Qing nodded. Although he said a little more, according to the current market, the price has increased by more than three times. Moreover, twenty kilograms of material has no shortage of bracelet space. Even if it cannot produce sea and sky blue, it can produce blue water. Once it reaches For a high-end person, one bracelet is worth a million.
Such a large piece of material costs 200 yuan for a brand. If there are no cracks inside, the bracelet can be made into 30 or 40 pieces, which is even more expensive.
Ye Qing once again turned on the light to look at the leather shell. An undetectable sand python was entangled in it. He had already concluded that there was a lot of gambling involved in growing water. I removed the flashlight and turned on the light to look at three small ones. There were traces of pythons, but the pine flowers and moss were missing.
I frowned and thought for a while. It should be that the pile of stones was constantly rolling under the push of the river water, and the pine flowers and moss were slowly worn away. However, the sand python is made of jade and is very hard, so it was not worn away. Lose.
Wang Hong and Boss Qi probably saw the sand snake and bid at a high price.
But it also shows that these four rough stones are the best in his safe, and the best ones are of course the most expensive.
Ye Qing turned on the light again, but this time he looked at the fog. Generally, there is fog under the shell of raw stone, but fog can also be very deceptive.
Fog means it will be great, but fog is also very particular.
The fog layer is a layer of semi-oxidized, semi-weathered jadeite between the original stone shell and the jadeite.
But it cannot be regarded as jade, and its value is not high. It can only be regarded as the transition between jade and leather.
It is also a process of semi-weathering and semi-jade turning into jadeite.
Moreover, fog is also divided into white fog, yellow fog, red fog, gray fog and black fog, etc.
