My system is not decent

Chapter 765 Thousands of Agates and Thousands of Jade

There are more lucky people who can pick up the leaks in Taobao. With them as role models, the market will be more active and attract more people to enter the antique market.

Under the virtuous circle, the market will prosper.

As long as the market thrives, everyone benefits.

"Boss, how much is your teapot?"

"The teapot with water gall and silk agate is made of a lot of materials, and it is very rare. You can give me [-] yuan!"

Chen Wenzhe was speechless. Although this looks like a teapot from the Qing Dynasty, you can't sell it as a famous product!

"Boss, the price is too high, I can offer up to three hundred! Even so, you still have to take that red agate triangular cup as your head!"

"Hey! The young man haggles hard enough?"

The boss looked at Chen Wenzhe, does he understand?
He treasured the triangular cup by his side, but the teapot in Chen Wenzhe's hand was casually placed on the booth.

Will he give up a valued triangular cup for a neglected teapot?
It's just that all inquiries are good customers, and those who can return the price are real customers.

Three hundred yuan is a lot, and many people's daily wages are not even three hundred yuan!
Besides, most people really can't say such a price casually.

"If you're in the agate business, you naturally know that even if the triangular cup was sent to the auction house, it would only sell for two to three thousand yuan. As for the water gall and silk agate, it is not so rare. It is not a famous product, nor is it being auctioned. Okay, your price of [-] yuan is too high."

The boss looked at Chen Wenzhe seriously, did he really meet a knowledgeable person?
"The [-] was in [-], and now more than ten years have passed, and everything has appreciated in value."

"Agate is different. With the changes of the times, the technology is becoming more and more developed. The cost of mining agate has dropped a lot. Besides, the advancement of technology has allowed more agate to be mined. This is a relatively rare water tank. Silk-wrapped agate, the price is not high."

"Do you really understand silk agate?" The boss looked at Chen Wenzhe in surprise.

Chen Wenzhe smiled lightly and said, "I have a little understanding, isn't it red onyx?"

There are thousands of agates and thousands of jades, and red onyx is one of them.

Among the red onyx, there is a kind of onyx with red and white onyx stripes like silk, which is called silk agate.

To play this kind of thing, you should first understand the definition of silk agate.

If the onyx is a flesh-red color band, or a parallel band of white and black, it is called silk-wrapped agate, and it was also called "cut agate" in ancient times.

The formation of filaments is formed after the volcanic eruption, due to the difference in cooling speed and volatilization speed inside and outside, and the infiltration of minerals at the same time.

The main producing areas of silk-wrapped agate are in Xiba, Asan, Masca Island, Uguay and other regions, and some people call it "Persian agate".

After a general understanding of the definition of silk-wrapped agate, let's take a look at what exactly is silk-wrapped agate.

It is a kind of gemstone with red and white, black and white, blue and white stripes, or wide or narrow stripes intertwined together to form a unique visual impact.

Silk-wrapped agate is the same as most agates in texture. It is warm and delicate, has a gelatinous texture, and its hardness can reach between 7 and 7.5. It is a commonly used carving variety.

Because of the uniqueness of its formation, the production of silk-wrapped agate is relatively small.

And high-quality silk-wrapped agate is even rarer.

For example, the top-quality silk-wrapped agate contains water in the closed cavity inside the silk-wrapped agate. When it is shaken, there will be a sound of water, and you can see the flow of water inside.

Of course, even if the quantity of ordinary silk-wrapped agate is relatively small compared to other agates, the price is not expensive.

The current overall price of silk-wrapped agate is still relatively low.

A bunch of good quality ones usually cost several hundred yuan, and cheap ones can be even dozens of yuan.

The more famous one, that is, in the 2007 auction market, the silk-wrapped agate teapot with water gallbladder from the Qing Dynasty just mentioned was sold at a price of 69000.

That's already considered a high price, but the teapot in front of me is far worse than that one.

Chen Wenzhe put down the teapot casually, and picked up another one, this one was made of water gall and agate.

The two utensils are about the same size, both of which are medium-sized, squat small teapots.

It is not easy to make such a regular teapot out of agate, not to mention that the button on the lid of this pot has a water bladder in it.

This time, Chen Wenzhe didn't play tricks, what he took was the real thing from the Qing Dynasty, and it was no longer a synthetic agate product.

The origin of silk-wrapped agate is still very rare, so a large number of fake silk-wrapped agates on the market are mainly synthetic agate.

Although it looks similar, it does not have collection value.

Seeing Chen Wenzhe pick up another teapot made of water gall and silk agate, the boss's old face finally couldn't help but blush.

"Okay, if you really want it, just take one for [-]. This triangular cup will not be sold if it is less than [-]!"

Chen Wenzhe laughed. The boss is also a half bottle of vinegar, but he didn't recognize that the teapot in his hand was genuine and not a fake?
In fact, it is still very easy to identify silk-wrapped agate with water gallbladder, first look at the color.

Natural silk agate is bright in color and lustrous; synthetic agate may not be as bright in color.

The second is to look at the texture. The natural silk-wrapped agate stripes are distinct in color, obvious in texture, lively and full of aura;
Synthetic agate is consistent in color, lifeless, and dull in texture.

The third is to look at the texture. The hardness of natural silk-wrapped agate has reached seven, while synthetic agate will not be so high, and you can see it with a hard object.

Then look at the transparency. Natural silk-wrapped agate will be full of gelatinous texture like other agates in terms of transparency, and some can even see the waterline;

The synthetic agate is extremely transparent, like glass.

Finally, after touching, feel the touch.

Natural silk-wrapped agate will be more delicate in touch, and the temperature is a unique constant temperature;

Synthetic agate is like glass, and its temperature will change significantly with the external temperature.

In terms of function, silk-wrapped agate is often used as the raw material of Go chess pieces. This kind of chess pieces are generally expensive and have a certain collection value.

In addition, it is also used as jewelry such as bracelets, bracelets, pendants, necklaces, etc., which is also of great ornamental value.

Chen Wenzhe smiled and held the precious water gall teapot in his hand, and looked at the red agate triangular cup in the boss's hand again.

This thing looks so beautiful, he likes it very much, even if it is not a leak, he would like to take it.

Thinking that he had already taken advantage, there was no need to continue pestering, so Chen Wenzhe agreed to the boss's price.

After paying [-] yuan and getting two items worth [-] to [-] yuan, Chen Wenzhe was still very happy.

However, after leaving like this, will the boss know who he is in the future, will he hate him?
Therefore, Chen Wenzhe planned to make a good relationship.
