Chapter 1911 The Best in the World
The distribution area of ​​petrified wood in Xinjiang Province is large, and the distribution range is wide, and it is known as the hometown of petrified wood.

In the book "Da Tang Western Regions", it is recorded that Tang Xuanzang brought back three treasures from the Western Regions.

Buddhist scriptures, Sakyamuni's relic pills and sacred trees.

The sacred wood refers to the petrified wood, which shows how precious the petrified wood is.

There are not many silicified woods found in the world that have been preserved in large areas.

It is mainly concentrated in the ugly state of Arizona, and several counties in Xinjiang Province of my country.

The Adamara Petrified Forest National Park in Arizona is known as "the most petrified wood in the world".

my country is the country where petrified wood was discovered earlier and widely distributed in the world, and it has been discovered in Beihe, Inner Mongolia, Xinjiang and other places.

In recent years, large-scale petrified wood groups have been discovered in Xinjiang province.

Including Shishugou, Tentgou, Eaglegou, Dinosaurgou and Devil City in QT County.

Others include Wucai Bay, Nanhu Gobi, Naomao Lake, etc., and even deep in the Gobi.

Its petrified wood has a large distribution area and a wide distribution range, which is unique in the country, and is known as the hometown of petrified wood.

In these counties of Xinjiang Province, more than 20 large areas of petrified wood have been discovered, among which Shishugou in Qitai is the most.

Within an area of ​​11.65 square kilometers, there are nearly a thousand petrified woods exposed on the ground.

There are more than 100 petrified wood stumps standing on the low hills.

The silicified wood group in Qitai is a must, attracting countless domestic and foreign tourists, as well as archaeologists to visit and investigate.

In order to protect this precious historical heritage, my country spent a huge amount of money to build the "Qitai Petrified Wood Garden" in Shishugou on the northern edge of Jiangjun Gobi in Qitai in 1996.

The silicified wood in Shishugou is mostly 12.5 meters in diameter and 20 meters in length.

Some are all exposed on the ground, some are half exposed on the ground, and the other half are buried in rocks, and there are whole petrified wood.

These whole plants of petrified wood are produced in situ without external force.

And some petrified wood fragments affected by weathering are almost everywhere within a few square meters of the downstream because of the erosion of the flood.

As the saying goes: The universe cannot exist without stones, the earth cannot be firm without stones, the mountains cannot be steep without stones, the garden cannot be beautiful without stones, the house without stones cannot be restless, and the room without stones cannot be elegant.

Due to the important scientific value of petrified wood and its scarcity, its collection value and economic value have soared all the way.

Especially in recent years, petrified wood has become the new favorite of many investors and jewelers.

Most of the silicified wood found in Qitai is exposed on the ground, which naturally cannot support others to mine it, and this is all for profit.

According to local residents, businessmen from Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and other places often come here to buy petrified wood at a price of 5000-10000 yuan per ton.

The huge profits have prompted many people to start crazy theft.

They not only removed the petrified wood on the surface, some even used excavators.

Not only that, tourists who come here for sightseeing often pick up fragments of petrified wood and take them home as "souvenirs", and the smaller fossils are even swept away.

With such a large-scale "human invasion", the silicified wood in Qitai is about to be wiped out.

Later, when the protection was increased, it became much better.

Hundreds of millions of years ago it was wood, but now it is jade.

The tree-like jade in front of Chen Wenzhe is very beautiful like a rockery.

This is a yellow stone that looks like a rockery, but if you look closely, you can still see the appearance of prehistoric wood.

The next thing he saw was a tree-like jade like a phoenix.

This form is like a fire phoenix, with both red, green and blue colors, which is extremely rare.

Nature is amazing. After the silica penetrates into the wood, it makes the wood crystal clear.

But what makes the tree jade get its color?
Look at this green one, it's crystal clear!

When copper carbonate invades it, it will appear green;
There are also divalent iron compounds, which also appear blue-green.

After iron oxide invades, it will appear red and yellow, and there is also a kind of mercury sulfide, which has the same effect after invading.

When carbon enters, or when it is highly oxidized, there will be black, and ordinary ones are white, gray, and coffee.

The more silica is infiltrated, the longer the time, the denser and more transparent the stone will be.

"Is this made in Myanmar? Otherwise, the quality wouldn't be so high!"

Among the silicified woods, especially those produced in Myanmar are the best, so they are called "shuhua jade".

You know, most of the prehistoric wood has rotted away.

Of the few that remained, the great majority became peat and coal.

Among the very few that are not called coal, most of them have become calcified wood and petrified wood.

Among the silicified wood, very few can be called tree jade, which shows its rarity.

One by one, the works were brought out one by one, and Chen Wenzhe was allowed to view them at will, because he could really afford the price.

Next is a piece of green landscape decorated with red flowers. In fact, green, red, blue, and black are extremely rare colors. Generally, only one of the [-] pieces may have a rare color.

And this one has two kinds at once, which can be said to be one in a million.

In fact, the petrified wood in Xinjiang Province is also drier than that in Myanmar, which is basically the case in all parts of the world.

Comparing the wool of the tree jade from Myanmar, some of them have been opened.

Originally, it looked like a piece of dry wood after excavation, but when the stone skin was cut open, something strange was found in it.

Of course, not all materials are so good, these high-quality materials are only a few.

And the really good material is really crystal clear!

If the skin is peeled off and then polished and polished, it will be beautiful.

Let's look at a piece of Burmese tree jade, this piece is also green, with not many traces.

But the overall coordination and coordination, of course, all kinds of colors are very beautiful.

But why is there blue?The cause of blue is very strange.

There is a kind of tree jade called Molan Shuhua jade. The reason why it is called Molan is that it appears black when the color is dark, and blue when it is light.

So why is this happening?In fact, this is a very exceptional phenomenon.

A tree that was more than 1 million years ago died naturally, and then the tree fell.

After falling down, plants similar to blue algae began to infiltrate and parasitize into it.

But suddenly, a volcano not far away erupted.

Then the forest including this tree was completely covered up.

After that, it went through complicated crustal changes, drifting and so on.

Finally, he was placed in a low-temperature, high-pressure, high-silicon environment, and he was turned into gemstones together with traces of trees and blue algae.

This piece is said to be a middle piece of Molan Shuhua jade that was dug up in 05, and it was very famous before.

In the end, I heard that it was missing, but I didn't expect it to be stored here.

As soon as he saw this high-quality tree-shaped jade ornament, Chen Wenzhe knew that the tree-shaped jade here should be high-quality goods.
