There are many evaluation factors for the quality of jadeite. The two most important factors are the seeding water and color of the jadeite. The seeding water refers to the texture and transparency of the jadeite, and the color refers to the color of the jadeite.

Seed water can be divided into species and water. The species is the texture, which is generally determined by the thickness of the jadeite crystals. The quality of the species will affect the gloss of the jadeite after polishing; the water is the water head, which refers to the transparency of the jadeite.

In the previous jadeite industry, there were many names for planting water, as many as dozens, which was very confusing, such as gold thread species, hibiscus species, snot species, egg white species and so on.

Although the names of these seed waters are very vivid, but there is no clear order, which is very unfavorable to the value evaluation of jadeite. Later, Mr. Ma Chongwen, the king of jadeite, proposed the concept of waxy water, and all mid-range jade seed waters are classified according to the degree of waxy water. To judge, this makes the evaluation of emerald water much easier.

The worst kind of emerald seed water is bean seeds, whose internal crystal particles are very thick, and the outline of the crystal can be seen with the naked eye. The length of the thickest crystal particles can reach 3 mm, and it is completely opaque.

Because the value of bean seeds is too low, there is basically no processing value, and they are called seedless or paving materials by stone gamblers. Most people understand that bean seed jadeites are discarded as waste.

The ones that are a little taller than the bean seeds are representative of the waxy seeds. The waxy jadeite has a cottony feel inside, giving people a feeling of cooked glutinous rice. You can see the crystal particles inside, and the transparency is very low.

The first cut of this Mowanji rough stone by Lao Zhou showed waxy seeds.

Waxy jadeite generally does not have much processing value. If the color is very good and you own a processing factory, you can process it.

Further up is the glutinous rice. It can be imagined that the glutinous rice is boiled with water until it turns into glutinous rice porridge.

Waxing is very important for jadeite, because without waxing, this jadeite is low-grade jadeite, or middle-low-grade jadeite. As long as it is waxy, it will enter the category of mid-range jadeite, and the price will vary greatly.

As for the gray base mentioned by Lao Zhou, it is actually green, but it is so gray that it is a visual effect. The jade with such a base color will still look gray after it is made into a finished product, which is not beautiful. With a gray background, this piece of jade has basically no use value.

The old chief Zhou took a breath, gritted his teeth, and said through gritted teeth: "Death is death!" He reached out and grabbed the stone base of the chain saw, and pulled it hard, pulling the base that fixed the black black sand and stones away. come out.

Without the cover of the saw blade, the incision of the black black sandstone is exposed to everyone. The incision is a little bigger than a palm, with a gray background, and the green can be seen by pressing the light. However, anyone who often plays with stones knows that this There is no need to plant green hair, as long as the jadeite with a gray background, the pressure lamp has green color.

"Alas..." Lao Zhou shook his head and sighed, obviously disappointed with the performance of Tang Mian.

The friend next to me persuaded: "Cut two more cuts, maybe there will be changes, cut the ribbon to see if the ribbon runs through, the color must have entered."

"Yeah." Lao Zhou nodded, and said to Jie Shi's master, "Master Jiang, give me a knife directly next to the middle ribbon, so that it can be seen at a glance."

"Okay." Master Jiang adjusted the position of the black black sand and stone, aligned the color band in the middle of the stone with the saw blade, then closed the glass cover, pressed the button switch, and the chain saw buzzed. Shake the handle of the base outside, the base is slowly pushed forward, and there is the sound of stone cutting.

Lao Zhou and the others were not in the mood to smoke this time, and just stared blankly at the chainsaw, the atmosphere was a bit depressing.

It would take a long time to unravel the stones. Pei Miao had nothing to do, so he decided to go to look at the stones under the awning. Walking all the way, he saw stones all over the place. Most of them were made of wool, but most of the cut wool was It is waxy or waxy, and its performance is generally not very good.

Seeing all this, Pei Miao frowned and murmured, wondering whether these stones could be poor stones selected by Legendary Jade Company. After all, Legendary Jadeite was founded by Mr. Ma, the Jade King. If there is no strong betting stone in the company Experts, no one will believe what they say.

Thinking according to common sense, if Pei Miao has a good rough jadeite and he has superb stone gambling skills, why should he sell it and untie it by himself?

And Pei Miao took a rough look at the stones at the scene. The lowest price was 300, and the highest price was 40. Most of the stones were priced within [-], and stones exceeding [-] were relatively rare. of.

This further confirmed Pei Miao's guess.

Thinking that he had to choose the rough stones from the remaining stones picked by the stone gambling experts, Pei Miao's mood suddenly became a little depressed, but since everyone came, he still decided to take a good look at these rough stones.

Pei Miao walked into the middle of the two rows of rough stones, activated the ability of his right hand, and walked forward slowly, so that the two rows of raw materials were covered within the range of his ability.

The awning is about 20 meters long. After walking down the 20 meters, Pei Miao has checked about 500 yuan of rough stones with his ability. Among the 500 yuan of rough stones, there are still a few pieces that can produce high-value emeralds, but he plans to use the other two The row was finished, so he entered the northernmost lane, activated the ability of his right hand, and walked slowly all the way forward. After 10 minutes, he reached the end of the lane, and the remaining hundreds of rough stones were also taken by him. finish watching.

For a rough stone worth nearly 1000 yuan, Pei Miao only saw one piece of ice-seeded jadeite, and none of the other pieces could reach the ice-seeded jadeite, and the flesh of that piece of ice-seeded jadeite was not that big, which made Pei Miao somewhat disappointed. He originally thought about using his ability to unlock the glass-type emperor green jadeite, but now it seems that he doesn't even think about the ice-type emperor green.

But Pei Miao soon felt relieved, because he knew that there were too few good wools here. If he went to Ruili, Yingjiang or Pingzhou, there would be a lot of rough stones and a lot of good wools. Quality emerald.

At this moment, the sound of the stone-dissolving machine stopped, and Pei Miao decided to go over to see how the black-black sand stone was doing. He had heard Shulong say that Mowanji's black-black sand stone was very Famous, so he is full of curiosity about the result of this black black sand stone.

Pei Miao walked over, still watching from three or four meters behind, without approaching.

Lao Zhou lifted the glass cover and found that although the stone was cut from the middle, there was still a bit of skin sticking to it, and it was not separated.

Lao Zhou pulled out the base that fixed the stone, then picked up the screwdriver next to it, inserted it a little through the cut gap, pushed it hard, and the stone was separated, and half of it fell off.

"Damn!" Before Lao Zhou could speak, all his friends shouted in disappointment.

This knife was cut right next to the winding ribbon, but when I cut it, I found that the ribbon was wrapped around the stone like a trouser belt. It went in, but it only went in at a depth of more than one centimeter. As a product, there is also a little bit of green in the middle, but the green is very ethereal and light, the usable value is not high, and the variety is also poor. The most important thing is that there are cracks in all directions on this cut surface.

The only one-centimeter-thick ribbon has no chance to take the bracelet. The ingenious combination of various unfavorable factors has already sentenced this stone to death.

"There are still so many cracks! It doesn't matter if the color band isn't deep enough, there are so many cracks, even the bracelet is gone." Old Zhou's eyebrows were furrowed, feeling extremely depressed.

A friend of Lao Zhou picked up half of the stone, inspected it carefully, shook his head and sighed: "If it is not cracked, take it back and put it in my workshop to process it into a bracelet, to comfort myself, now that it is cracked like this, there is no processing at all." worth it."

Lao Zhou took out the flashlight from his trouser pocket again, and unwillingly took a photo of the half-rock shell, muttering in his mouth: "There is no crack on the outside, why is it cracked like this on the inside? Mo Wanji is not Houjiang... "

"This is internal cracking." A friend of Lao Zhou shook his head helplessly, "So it is said that it is difficult for a god to break an inch of jade. As long as there is internal cracking, no matter how powerful a stone gambling expert is, he will admit it."

Master Jiang, who solved the stone, asked: "Boss Zhou, do you want to continue cutting?"

Although seeing the behavior of the stone after it was cut open, he was basically determined to be dead, but Lao Zhou felt that he must be careful to sail for ten thousand years, so he stretched out his hand and gestured on half of the stone, saying: "Take these two pieces, each A knife in the middle."

"Okay." Master Jiang adjusted the position of the stone, closed the glass cover, and started the chainsaw again.

Although Pei Miao didn't take a closer look, he also felt that the black black sandstone was basically finished, and there was no point in looking any further, so he went back to pick out the rough stone under the awning.

He first picked out the only rough stone with ice jade in it.

This is a piece of bayberry leather shell wool from Nachangkou, weighing about 4 kg. There is no window, and you can’t see any good performance when you press the light. There is only a coin-sized place where you can see the greenness. It is quite old, but the sand grains are not uniform, some places are thick and some places are thin. Such stones are sold poorly. If the shell of the stone at the mouth of the wood does not show, then it depends on whether the shell is old enough. , Whether the sand grains are uniform, so that it can be internalized, but if the sand grains are uneven, there is a great risk of mutation, so of course no one will buy it.

Pei Miao approached the salesperson next to him and asked about the price, and the salesperson told him that the price of this stone was 5000.

Pei Miao didn't know whether the price was expensive or cheap. He tried to bargain and asked if he could sell it for 1000. The salesperson called the management staff and reported the stone number. He quickly got a reply that it could be sold for 1000.

Pei Miao was a little confused, so he cut off 4000 casually, and he should have cut more.

Pei Miao directly scanned the QR code to pay, the transaction was successful, and the stone belonged to Pei Miao.

Excitedly holding the stone, Pei Miao came to the chainsaw and asked Master Xie Shi, "Master, can you cut the stone for me?"

Master Jiang looked at the stone in his hand, and said with a smile: "Your stone is not big, you can use the water saw to remove it by yourself."

Pei Miao scratched her head in embarrassment and said, "I won't."

This sentence "I don't know how to do it" immediately attracted the attention of everyone present. Hearing this, the old Zhou walked up to Pei Miao quickly and asked, "Handsome, are you a novice?"

Pei Miao nodded, "That's right."

Lao Zhou took a look at what he was wearing, Hongxing Erke shoes, off-brand slacks bought online, a big goose black down jacket that looked fake at first glance, and he didn't bring any valuable accessories such as watches and bracelets.

Pei Miao's economic level can be roughly seen at a glance, Lao Zhou asked: "Your rock, can you show me?"

"Of course." Pei Miao generously handed the stone in his hand to Lao Zhou.

Lao Zhou looked through the leather case carefully, then avoided the sun, looked at the lamp with his hand for a while, and asked, "How much did you pay for it?"

Pei Miao replied: "1000."

"It's a bit expensive." Lao Zhou said lightly, and then asked, "Do you know what kind of stone this is?"

"This is... Muna's red bayberry shell..." Pei Miao's tone was full of unconfidence, which showed that he also relied on guessing. Even though he guessed right, it also showed that he didn't know much about Changkou.

Lao Zhou and his friends all sighed secretly when they heard the words, they had seen many such people.

Lao Zhou handed the stone back to Pei Miao, and persuaded him, "Handsome boy, listen to my advice, gambling with stones is not suitable for you."

Pei Miao asked in bewilderment, "Why do you say that?"

"I'm doing this for your own good." Old Zhou said, "You don't know anything about stones or how to play games. You are just a beginner who doesn't know anything. You bought 1000 stones as soon as you made a move, which means you are very addicted to gambling." , but your skills can't keep up with your ambitions, and you will only lose miserably in the end. I have been playing rocks for ten years. Although I haven't made much money, I haven't lost much. Betting on rocks should be done according to one's ability , You have to master the skills, this is not buying the Mark Six lottery, it all depends on luck."

Lao Zhou's friend also persuaded him: "Yeah, handsome guy, maybe you don't like to hear what we say, but it's really for your own good. In your situation, it's obviously a bit of a superiority. Stop now, there's still time, otherwise It’s just going to get deeper and deeper.”
