My identity as a collector was exposed by the village flower

Chapter 18 South Red Agate
Ok?baby?

At this time, a large number of viewers in the live broadcast room were clamoring to go to Yunwu Village to pick up stones.

Fang Xing took a closer look, and found that the stone was a bit strange.

He blurted out: "Strange stone? Good luck!"

Yes!It was a stone that looked exactly like a national map. If two more stones were found to represent two treasure islands, it would be even more similar.

"Master Qin also said it was a strange stone." Xu Qing said happily.

Strange stones refer to naturally formed stones with unusual shapes. Their materials, shapes, colors and patterns are unusual, which can satisfy people's curiosity or aesthetic habits, and can be used for viewing and collecting.

This kind of stone is also called strange stone, pictographic stone, elegant stone, offering stone, case stone, few stone, playing stone, clever stone, ugly stone, interesting stone, precious stone, strange stone and orphan stone in the history of our country. Etc., my country's Taiwan Island and Hong Kong and Macao are called Yashi, RB is called Shuishi, and South Korea is called Shoushi.In a broad sense, all natural stones with ornamental value can be called strange stones.

Ling Xue also expressed her own point of view: "If a small piece is broken off here, it will be more similar."

"Don't." Fang Xing shook his head.

Elder Qin also echoed: "Not bad! Breaking off a piece is more similar, but it is no longer a strange stone, it is equivalent to being processed. It is best for a strange stone to maintain its characteristics shaped by nature."

In addition to the necessary cleaning of surface sediment and dirt, there must be no purposeful artificial processing, otherwise it cannot be called a "strange stone".

Different from other ornamental stones, strange stones must be without any artificial carving and treatment, because naturalness is a natural value attribute of "strange", and any artificiality will destroy its own standard as a strange stone.

"Then how much is this stone worth?" Xu Qing asked a question that everyone cared about.

Fang Xing didn't say a word. Valuing an item is his weakness.

When Mr. Qin saw that Fang was still awake, he said, "The price of strange stones fluctuates greatly, ordinary dozens of yuan are also common, while top-notch strange stones exceed [-] million yuan.

We mainly look at its "odd", the more prominent the word "odd" stone, the more precious it is.Also, look at rarity.Play collection, play is rare. "

"Should there be no identical strange stones? This must be unique." Sister Xue believes that since it is a magical workmanship of nature, it means that every strange stone is unique!

Elder Qin did not refute: "Yes! There is no such thing as the exact same thing. But when I say rare, I mean similar products. For example, there must not be one or two stones similar to national maps in this world."

Afterwards, he gave a relatively conservative price: "For this piece, start at 1 yuan! The exact amount depends on the buyer's intentions."

In fact, there is no way to price this kind of collection, and there is no standard market price.

It is not impossible to meet a player who loves it and is generous, hundreds of thousands or millions.

Xu Qing's eyes widened with a smile, and if she took Sister Xue out for a round, she would be able to pick up treasures worth tens of thousands of yuan, she was very satisfied!However, you still have to find a way to get rid of it.

She asked again, "Where do I want to sell it?"

At this time, Ling Xue accepted the offer: "If you can accept it, transfer the 2 yuan to me."

2 to [-] yuan is just like buying a souvenir to go home, Ling Xue has no pressure at all.

have to! 2 yuan, sure shot it!

Fang Xing looked at the dozen or so stones, picked up a red one, and asked in surprise, "Is this also picked up by the river beach?"

Xu Qing and Ling Xue nodded.

Old Qin smiled and said, "It seems that there should be agate mines upstream, which are the seeds carried out by the river."

The audience in the live broadcast room was even more excited, can agate be picked up on the river beach?In their impression, agate is a kind of gemstone, so it is quite valuable!

"This belongs to Nanhong, and the material is okay. I'll help you carve it later." Fang Xing said to Xu Qing.

Xu Qing quickly corrected: "Sister Xue picked it up."

Then ask back: "Isn't it agate?"

"Nanhong is a kind of agate, a red agate. Besides Nanhong, there are Donghong and Xihong." Fang Xing explained.

East red agate is not a kind of natural agate, but a kind of burnt red agate. This kind of agate technology originated from RB. After heating the natural iron-containing agate, the color becomes more red, mainly by changing the agate. Color appearance for sale.

The color of Donghong agate is more red after being fired, but the price of the hard part is low, lacks the texture of glue, does not have much collection value, and the market price is relatively low.

Western red agate, as the name suggests, is a natural red agate from the West.

Nanhong is unique to China, and most of them come from Sichuan and Yunnan provinces.

As a special category of agate, although the name "Nanhong" has not appeared for a long time, its bright red appearance and warm and delicate touch can become very popular in a short period of time, which shows its play value and collection value.

Someone in the live broadcast room revealed: "Nanhong's price is very low, a lot of tens of dollars online."

"Dozens of dollars? How can it be a gemstone? The one on the Internet must be fake!"

"It can't be said to be fake. No matter what, there are expensive and cheap ones. The ones on the Internet are probably of poor quality."

"Actually, agate is the same as crystal. It is said to be a gemstone, but because of its amazing reserves, the price is relatively low."

……

Seeing everyone's discussion in the live broadcast room, Mr. Qin gave the answer: "Generally speaking, the price of Nanhong with different grades is more than ten yuan to tens of yuan per gram, and there are many cracks.

Medium-sized southern red agate has no obvious variegation, high integrity, and good meat quality. The gram price is about tens to one hundred yuan.

The price of top-grade Nanhong is several hundred to 1000 yuan per gram, or even higher.Full color and full flesh level, no impurities and few cracks, brocade red in the sun, and it will not be fully transparent under strong light. "

He also said that the Nanhong jewelry sold online, the kind that cost tens of dollars, are of poor material or fake.Remind everyone, when buying, we must pay attention.

"The piece you picked up is above average in quality! Xiao Fang is willing to carve it, and the value can immediately soar many times."

According to Fang Xing's carving skills, no matter what he carves, the value of the object will soar, and there may even be situations where the workmanship exceeds the expected cost.

That is to say, carvers are more valuable than materials.

As the saying goes, if jade is not carved, it cannot be made into a tool. Nanhong and jade are a bit similar. Carving can greatly enhance their value, and the beauty can be fully released.

Seeing Ling Xue looking at him, Fang Xing smiled and said, "Leave it to me, you can tell me what you want to sculpt."
