The jade carving was soaked in the water.

Zhao Jianbo rubbed his hands and said impatiently: "I'll ask the waiter to prepare it right away!"

After that, he went out excitedly and told the waiter to go.

After a while.

The waiter came in with a basin of warm water.

Su An soaked the jade carving in the water.

Just a few minutes after soaking, the clear warm water turned slightly gray, and the stone on the jade carving was falling off.

"It started to fall off so quickly? It seems that the stone on the jade carving has not been on for a long time."

Zhao Jianbo was surprised when he saw this scene.

He had heard from a friend before that under normal circumstances, the dirt and dust on the jade would need to be soaked for several hours before it would loosen!

This stone fell off too quickly, and the time it was stained must not exceed two months!

Thinking of this, he suddenly became curious.

"Su An, I saw your live broadcast. This jade carving was a stone carving before it was scraped off. Did you buy it in the small workshop you went into before you went off the live broadcast?"

In that small factory, Su An did not live broadcast.

Therefore, Zhao Jianbo did not know where this stone carving came from.

Su An did not hide it and nodded in response: "Yes."

"That's strange. How can there be jade carvings in a stone carving workshop? And from your live broadcast room, the stone powder on this jade carving is also very rough. It is completely different from this jade carving except that it is also a pig. The rough technique looks like there is no skill at all, as if it was casually applied by an outsider, but the stone carving factory is full of old employees, and the technique should not be so bad. Most importantly, why did they cover the jade carving with stone? The price of jade carving is much more expensive than that of stone carving. I really don't know what their purpose is in doing this."

Zhao Jianbo expressed his doubts.

Su An shrugged: "I don't know what their purpose is, but you are right about one thing. The stone material on the outside of this stone sculpture is indeed not from the stone carving factory employees, but from the customers who ordered the stone sculpture from them."

"Isn't it from the stone carving factory? But from the customer?!"

Zhao Jianbo was even more surprised, and couldn't help but worry: "Why did you buy this thing if it's not from the stone carving boss? What if the real owner comes back, won't you have to return it?"

Su An waved his hand indifferently: "Not really, I heard from the employees that these stone sculptures have been piled up for a long time, and it is estimated that the deadline for paying the balance has long exceeded. And since the boss dared to sell it to me, it means that he can guarantee that these stone sculptures are theirs, otherwise he would not sell it to me."

The boss is definitely not a person who will suffer losses. This time the customization is a small batch, and he must have taken the opportunity to sign a contract with the previous real owner that is beneficial to him. If the balance is not paid after the deadline, not only the deposit, but also the two templates will belong to the boss.

Zhao Jianbo was relieved after hearing this.

Although the value of this jade carving is unknown, it must be worth at least 10,000 yuan to be favored by Su An. Moreover, the jades worth hundreds of thousands of yuan that he had seen from his friends were not as beautiful as this jade, so the value of this jade carving is definitely not low.

The two chatted for a while and saw that the clear water in the basin was becoming more and more turbid.

Su An fished out the jade carving and wiped it carefully with cotton cloth.

Just then.

Ma Wenjun and Shi Jun rushed to the box.

Only the two of them came this time, and no one else was brought.

"Is this the jade carving?"

As soon as Ma Wenjun came in, his eyes scanned everywhere, and then fell on Su An's hand.

Su An smiled and said, "Yes, do you want to see it?"

Ma Wenjun came over immediately, picked up the jade carving, and almost glued his eyes to it, and exclaimed, "Sure enough, it's completely different to see it through the mobile phone screen and in person. The color and texture are so beautiful!"

Shi Jun also nodded in agreement, "The color is so pure."

Zhao Jianbo was also shocked by the color of the jade carving that had been wiped clean, and said, "The color is too pure. I always feel like I've seen it somewhere before, and it's a bit fake."

Hearing this,

Shi Jun smiled and explained, "Authentic Hetian yellow jade is very rare. Most people see fake Hetian yellow jade. Those fake ones are usually artificially processed quartzite, glass, marble, etc. These are particularly easy to be confused with yellow jade by people who don't understand. There is also a new type of jade discovered more than ten years ago, Huanglong jade. As a jade, it is a relatively high-end counterfeit and even more difficult to distinguish. So if you think it's fake, it's probably because you saw a lot of counterfeit glass jade pendants and bracelets on the stalls." Ma Wenjun, who was admiring the jade carvings, said disdainfully, "Huanglong jade? Although the premium of that thing has increased by hundreds of times in recent years, reaching a price of thousands per gram, it is still very different from Hetian yellow jade.

The jades are totally incomparable, and only those who don't know the business will make a mistake. In my opinion, there is a huge difference between the two. Huanglong jade is completely inferior to Hetian yellow jade!"

Shi Jun agreed: "That's right."

Then he asked: "How do you see it? Are you sure?"

Ma Wenjun didn't say anything, but deliberately kept it a secret, handed the jade carving to Shi Jun, and said: "I remember you are also very knowledgeable about jade. Take a look, is this real or fake?"

Shi Jun laughed and said: "You are testing me. If I can see that it is real, don't fight with me later."

Ma Wenjun laughed and said: "I am also afraid that your eyes will be dazzled after not using them for a long time."

Shi Jun shook his head and said no more. He picked up the stone carving and studied it attentively, and said while looking at it:

"The color is clean and pure, uniform, without variegated colors and spots, not bad! "

Then, he held up the jade carving and pointed his hand at the light. Under the light, the jade carving showed a sense of transparency: "The light transmittance is very good. Well, it feels a bit special to the touch, delicate and warm, and the hardness is also very high, without scratches."

He remembered that Su An used a knife to scrape off the stone outside the jade carving. Normally, ordinary jade will have some scratches, but this jade carving is very complete, without any scratches.

Finally, he clasped his index fingers together and tapped the jade carving lightly.

A wonderful sound rang out, like the residual sound of knocking on gold and stone, far and deep, and slowly ended.

"This sound is right! "

Shi Jun became more and more excited as he identified it.

From the perspective of the transparent color, texture, and sound, there is no doubt that this is Hetian yellow jade.

If you look more carefully, you can also use a microscope to check that the interior of Hetian yellow jade presents a micro-felt structure, which is mainly composed of tremolite metamorphic crystals, apatite, and white titanium stone.

But that is what outsiders do. For him and Ma Wenjun, there is no need to use a microscope at all. Just by color, texture, and sound, you can tell whether Hetian yellow jade is real or fake!

Zhao Jianbo saw Shi Jun put down the jade carving and couldn't wait to ask: "Teacher Shi, is this jade carving Hetian yellow jade?"

Ma Wenjun also said: "Old Shi, have you identified the result? Tell me if it is true or not."

Shi Jun ignored Ma Wenjun. He could see that Ma Wenjun, who was more knowledgeable about jade, must have recognized it long ago.

"It is Hetian yellow jade."
