The patina is actually a manifestation of the stone shell. The gravel is as fine as flour. If you pinch it gently with your hands, the fine gravel will break away. This phenomenon will only occur when the planting water reaches the extreme.
This phenomenon is called desanding.
Ye Qing carefully observed the surface of the stone shell. It was undulating and uneven. It could be seen that it was very weathered. The gravel was particularly fine and compact. When tapped gently, it was like the sword clashing, and the sound was clear and sonorous. This shows that the density of the meat inside is also very high, and the more water is planted inside, the better. This situation is an extremely rare complete desanding.
The desanding of raw jadeite is due to the fact that the stone formed a shell during hundreds of millions of years of crustal movement. It was then transported, washed, and partially fell off. However, the hardness of the material is extremely strong, and the texture has not been worn away, thus completely showing up, thus forming desanding. sand.
Of course, there are also artificially desanded rough stones, that is, using an iron brush to wash away the gravel on the surface of the stone shell, or using a high-pressure water gun to rinse the stone, causing large-area desanding. The purpose is to be more intuitive without deceiving people. Observe the texture of the meat inside.
Of course, the scrubbed stone also exposes the best parts of the stone, and the price will skyrocket.
Naturally sanded jadeite rough stones also have the possibility of variation.
However, this piece of material is completely desanded. Complete desanding is the best performance of raw jadeite.
This is because the surface of a fully desanded stone has been completely weathered away by nature, and what is left is almost all meat. Stones that reach this level are extremely old, and are either high ice or glass.
"Generally speaking, most of the desanded stones seen in the market are Mosisha, followed by Mu Na, and there are relatively few other stones." Seeing that she was looking carefully, Ye Qing didn't mind teaching her some jade fortune-telling skills. : "This layer of white stuff, in addition to gravel as fine as flour, is also fog. Especially this kind of white fog, it shows that the jade meat is clean and delicate, and it can basically gel or fluoresce."
But one thing he did not say is that there are not only true and false theories about desanding, but also misunderstandings. For example, desanding and falling sand are both sand, and they will fall off as long as they are rubbed. There is a huge difference between one word and the other.
It's just that this is the essence of Xiangyu, and not everyone can learn it.
As for this stone, he has concluded that it is completely desanded in its natural state. This is because, whether it is desanding caused by scrubbing with an iron brush or flushing with a high-pressure water gun, the surface will be smooth and clean without leaving any sand.
The desanding of this stone was not so clean, with patches of sand remaining.
Ye Qing raised his head and looked at her pretty face like a flower: "Didn't Uncle Xue tell you the value of this stone?"
Li Xinyue nodded affirmatively: "My uncle said that if you want to sell this stone, the more experienced you are in the circle, the higher the price will be."
Ye Qing nodded. Xue Shanguo didn't say how much this stone was worth. This is because this kind of completely sand-coated skin has different prices in the eyes of different stone gamblers: "I can't have this stone. It’s too expensive.”
Li Xinyue smiled playfully: "Is it comparable to this piece of imperial green?"
Ye Qing looked at her seriously: "In my eyes, they are almost the same."
Li Xinyue was also stunned: "It's so expensive."
"Of course." Ye Qing took the stone and lowered his arm slightly. The stone, which seemed to be only a dozen kilograms, actually weighed more than twenty kilograms: "Has it been weighed?"
"Twenty-six kilograms!" Li Xinyue knows this stone well. In her office, there are two treasures. One is the bottle of 52-year-old Moutai, and the second is this wooden bag. Xuangpi: "Since the value of this stone is not as good as this piece of imperial green, then I will still suffer the loss."
Li Xinyue is a very smart person. She knows that people like Ye Qing cannot take advantage of him casually, let alone take advantage of him unscrupulously and with a clear conscience.
Otherwise, you will only become farther and farther away from him.
With his family background and wealth at his level, he no longer has to think about giving face to others. Only a few big guys in Kyoto can really control him.
For him, wealth and women are the same. When fate comes, they gather together, and when fate ends, they scatter.
He gave this piece of imperial green to himself not because of his beauty, but because he was unwilling to sell this piece of imperial green to Wei Qingfeng. He was so willful and unreasonable.
If he is greedy for cheap and takes this piece of imperial green with peace of mind, he will abandon himself like worn shoes. Therefore, it is better to make an equal exchange, so that he will regard himself as a friend instead of a passerby.
When you open a restaurant or a stone betting shop, you are playing with people's hearts.
Although Li Xinyue is young, her control over people's hearts has reached the level of perfection.
Ye Qing didn't refuse. Even if several experts bid for this 26 kilogram piece of battered skin, it would only cost around 30 million. It's similar to the piece of imperial green he gave to Li Xinyue.
But some things cannot be estimated with money.
For example, two pieces of rare jadeite were sold in succession at her store where Shen Shen is stationed. If she gets a batch of high-end jadeite rough stones, it will be enough for her to make a lot of money every day.
Those who gamble on stones all believe in luck.
Not every stone gambler is proficient in the art of fortune telling. More than 90% of stone gamblers rely on luck when gambling.
The stone cutter who has cut out the imperial green in the field, and the stone cutter who personally cuts the imperial green, even if it is the stone cutter that cuts the imperial green, will be sought after by stone gamblers.
Ye Qing glanced at Li Xinyue meaningfully: "I will study this stone and cut it off right here."
"Cut it here!" Li Xinyue looked at him in shock: "I don't have a thread cutting machine here!"
No one is willing to cut precious stones with a knife, and the waste of a little bit of material is counted in the tens of thousands.
In order to save materials, the high-end ones are water-cut, and the mid-end ones are wire-cut.
For example, to decompose the piece of imperial green in Li Xinyue's hand, the first choice is water cutting, which can not only save the material to the greatest extent, but also prevent the temperature from overheating, which will have a negative impact on the jadeite.
However, for more than 20 kilograms of stone, the only option is line cutting.
"This stone is completely desanded. You don't need to slice it into pieces. You just need to peel it." Ye Qing thought for a while and turned to look at Du Yu: "Call Chen Lu and Zheng Qian and ask them to help. .”
Du Yu heard what he said solemnly and realized that this stone was extremely precious. He not only called Chen Lu and Zheng Qian, but also called Song Youqing and asked her to bring Fan Tong and Wang Jian over.
Ye Qing and Li Xinyue squatted side by side, turning on the light carefully and observing every sand-shedding spot on the stone. Due to the presence of white mist, the seed water could not be seen clearly, and the colors reflected by the light were also different.
But seeing the dazzling spring scenery, Li Xinyue said in surprise: "Violet."
