Chapter 378 Water Gall Agate

"Chairman Chen, what Lao Zhang said is correct. Although the stones on the shelf outside have a high possibility of producing agate, the stones I keep in the cabinet are all likely to produce high-quality agate. Yes, you came here too, and if it was someone else, I would hate to let him choose from the cabinet..."

Although he was a little annoyed at Zhang Shuchun, Zhang Shuchun's words obviously made Buy Universiade very face-saving, just like Zhang Shuchun said, the agate rough placed in his cabinet is really very likely to produce high-quality agate, you know High-quality agate is a rare commodity, even rarer than Gao Cui. This is why he spent a lot of effort to get this batch of rough agate, so it is so precious, but Chen Ran is gambling if he knows this. As a novice with rough agate stones, he can feel at ease, as long as Chen Ran doesn't pick the few stones he had decided by default, it doesn't matter for Chen Ran to pick any of the other stones.

"Have you all chosen?"

Chen Ran didn't answer the words of Zhang Shuchun and Buy Universiade, looked at the stone that Zhang Shuchun and Huang Shang were holding, asked casually, and happily looked at the stone beside the wooden shelf.

"I've picked it. My piece looks pretty good. I think there will be agate out of ten." Zhang Shuchun held a stone as big as the mouth of a bowl, and followed behind Chen Ran confidently, as if his piece One hundred percent of the stone can be cut out of agate.

"Come on, don't you always feel this way every time you bet on stones, and the result." Buying Universiade curled his lips in disdain, exposing Zhang Shuchun's old background.

"It's different this time..." Zhang Shuchun wasn't angry either, he smiled and shook his head, as if I didn't know as much as you.

Chen Ran ignored them, he was more excited than Zhang Shuchun at this time, and suddenly discovered that after the upgrade of this ability, he could clearly see the situation inside the rough stone, which naturally made him think of a lot in a flash , The whole mind is filled with money.

To pick up antiques, you have to touch something. Not to mention the many people who play antiques nowadays, they are all so good. You don't have to worry about food or clothing, but obviously you can't do it if you want to make a fortune.

Now that my energy aperture can see clearly whether there is agate inside the rough stone, then I can also see clearly whether there is emerald inside the rough stone, or even crystal, bloodstone, diamond... , Wouldn't it be that God stuffed money into his hands?

Thinking about it is undoubtedly exciting. With the function of the energy aperture, why worry about not having enough money in the future?

The idea is beautiful, but the reality is cruel. While pretending to look at the stones, Chen Ran used the energy aperture to detect all the stones on the wooden shelf that were bought by Universiade as treasure eggs. As a result, the stone that produced agate was There are quite a lot, but there are no high-end agates, and the best ones are all red agates.

And red agate is now just a low-end agate.

All gemstones have good and bad, and agate is no exception. Agate is divided into four grades according to its quality. Among them, those with a block weight of more than five kilograms are super grades, those between two kilograms and five kilograms are grade one, and those between 0.5 kilograms and Those weighing less than 2 kg are grade two, and those below 0.5 kg are grade three.

It can be seen that this is mainly divided according to quality. For various grades of agate, red, blue, purple, and pink are the best.

According to the shape, agate is divided into banded agate, city walled agate, tan agate, moss agate, brocade red agate, zygote agate, soy spot agate, cypress agate, curly agate, water gall agate and other varieties.

Among them, Baizhi agate is a fine gemstone. Its origin is that the hot liquid full of silica gel after the volcanic period drills into the pores of basalt, and the surface cools first to form a cavity agate. Once the supply of mineral solution is suspended, it contains manganese. The solution takes the opportunity to infiltrate and "draw an inner painting" along the wall of the cavity, and then the mineral solution continues to supply the "inner painting" to seal it, forming agate treasures - cypress agate or moss agate.

This kind of agate is also known as fire agate or flash agate.

In the past, agate was very valuable, and there was a saying of pearl agate, but now due to the abundance of agate veins in the past 20 years, the price of agate has dropped sharply, and the agate on the market is very cheap now.

But in fact, not all agates are very cheap, the cheap ones are only low-end agates, and the exquisite agates are very valuable, but high-quality agates are very rare, and the high-end agates that appear on the market are all fakes , are all dyed, and it cannot be said to be a fake. In jargon, it is called a commercial agate. It seems to be bought in a store or a shopping mall. It is a commodity gemstone and has no collection value. , but those with collection value cannot be bought in stores or shopping malls, and are not circulated in the market at all, and only appear in auction houses, associations, and the fields held by individuals.

Among the most precious types of agate, red agate is the most inferior. In the past, red agate was very valuable. There is a saying in the industry that "agate has no red, and it will be poor forever". However, because of the stable dyeing technology now, red agate is very valuable. Agate is no longer worth much, and the higher ones are the fire agate or flash agate mentioned earlier, both of which are very expensive, and the ring face of a fire agate is over ten thousand.

The next level is the rare color of agate, such as blue, purple, green, red and pink, which are all high-end, but this kind of agate is now It is difficult to distinguish whether it is natural or dyed, so the price of agate is very low now, but if it is confirmed to be natural, the price is still very high.

The most high-grade agate is water gall agate. There is a closed cavity in the agate, which contains water or water-soluble 'liquid'. This kind of agate is called water gall agate. It gurgles when it shakes. , er, that is to say, there are more "guts" and "water".

Water gall agate with high transparency and no cracks or blemishes is an excellent material for jade carving.

Compared with other high-grade jade articles such as jadeite, Xinjiang white jade, and Central Plains Dushan jade, water gall agate is good for its bright and beautiful color; white jade is good for its fine and pure jade, and Dushan Jade is known for its ingenious carvings in white, black, green, green and purple colors.The water tank agate is known for its water performance, which is unmatched by other high-end jade articles.

Water tank agate is naturally formed agate wrapped with naturally formed water. It is especially rare in agate products and is expensive. However, many people make a very small hole in the place where the natural agate has a hole, and seal it with plastic after filling it with water. , It is difficult to distinguish with the naked eye, so if there are cheap water tank agates, be careful.

I bought stones on several rows of wooden shelves in the Universiade House, and there are quite a few agates. One piece may even be a first-class agate, but the quality is not too high. The highest is only red agate. If you buy these at a high price 'Mao' material, it will definitely lose everything.

After getting such a result, Chen Ran's excitement calmed down. It seems that the stone betting said that nine out of ten bets is true. If he cut the stones for the Universiade by himself, he would definitely spend his money on the stones. They were all lost, but this guy obviously wouldn't do that. He put the stones away, obviously with the intention of hoarding them. After hoarding them for a year or two, and then transferring the risk to other people, then not only would he not If you lose, you will make a lot of money.

After the detection, Chen Ran was naturally not interested in the stones on the shelf, and went directly to the cabinet where the Universiade was bought as a treasure. Zhang Shuchun, Huang Shang, and the Universiade also surrounded them when they saw it. Zhang Shuchun and Huang Shang Although I can't choose, but Chen Ran will choose this time, they are all excited, excitedly pointing to Chen Ran that this one is good, that one is good...Including Chen Ran, Chen Ran and Huang Shang has never gambled with rough agate, but he and Zhang Shuchun have played it. Although Zhang Shuchun has never gambled, he still has experience, and he speaks clearly.

There are not a lot of 'wool' materials in the cabinet, there are three layers, each layer is about five or six yuan, the small one is about the size of a baby's fist, and the big one is about the size of a football.

"Hey, this one is not bad, President Chen, what do you think of this one, you can choose this one, this one looks so good that it will definitely produce high-end agate..."

When Chen Ran was still choosing, Zhang Shuchun suddenly called out excitedly, which startled the other three present.

"Old Zhang, let me ask you to stop making such a fuss." Seeing the stone that Zhang Shuchun stretched out his finger on, his heart skipped a beat, and he gave Zhang Shuchun a guilty look. The piece that Zhang Shuchun pointed to Chen Ran The stone is one of the few stones he is most optimistic about, even the one he is most optimistic about. In his opinion, there is a high probability that this stone will produce agate, and at least it is of the level above red agate.

"Old buy, are you distressed? Hey, President Chen, you can choose this one. I can guarantee that this one will definitely be able to gamble up." Zhang Shuchun chuckled, because of his relationship with the Universiade , I can't know much about buying Universiade. He wasn't sure at first, but seeing Buy Universiade's expression, he can be sure that this stone can cut high-end agate.

"Let's forget it, I'll take a look..."

To Zhang Shuchun's surprise, Chen Ran glanced at the fist-sized stone he pointed at, but shook his head. Instead, he pointed to a stone on the bottom floor, looked at Mai Dayun and asked: " Old buy, how about I choose this one? But we have agreed in advance that we can count the money as much as this stone is worth."

Chen Ran's next words were automatically filtered by the three people present. Hearing Chen Ran's words, Buy Universiade, Zhang Shuchun, and Huang Shang all looked in the direction Chen Ran pointed.

Seeing the stone that Chen Ran stretched out his finger to, Buy Universiade, Zhang Shuchun, and Huang Shang all looked at each other in dismay.
