Unparalleled Treasures

It's not that Zhang Can didn't see it right, but he couldn't help but make a second perspective.

These three stones, especially the purple, green and blue pebbles, aroused his interest. In just a few seconds in the black and white world, Zhang Can affirmed the previous perspective results, and these three stones were real. Hetian jade, top grade, especially the three-color Hetian jade, is even more rare!

Hetian jade is nephrite. Its hardness is only [-] to [-], which is similar to that of glass, and some are even softer than glass. It is commonly known as real jade. Generally speaking, jade in a narrow sense refers to Xinjiang Hetian jade. Together with Lantian jade in Shaanxi, Nanyang jade in Henan, Jiuquan jade in Gansu, and Xiuyan jade in Liaoning, it is also known as the five famous jades in China.

Unlike jade, Hetian jade was discovered and used early, and was transported and exchanged between the East and the West as a treasure and a medium of friendship. This is the "Jade Road" of China's oldest Hetian jade transportation channel, which is later "Silk Road", but domestic appraisal merchants generally refer to Hetian jade more widely. Hetian jade, Qinghai jade, Kunlun jade, and Russian nephrite are collectively referred to as Hetian jade. It is very high, and although the value of jadeite is also extremely high, in the period before Qing Dynasty, jadeite was not loved and treasured by people at that time, and its value was very ordinary. Out of control, it has become one of people's favorite jewelry.

A piece of Hetian jade seed material, in fact, is similar to the raw stone wool of jadeite. It has a layer of skin. A good Hetian jade seed material can be called only if its shape, whiteness, skin color and moistness are excellent. It is a high-quality product, and the seed material is formed after thousands of years of continuous grinding and scouring in the river bed, so a piece of seed material with excellent shape and few defects is very rare.

Zheng Dabao was stunned for a long time, then came to his senses, stared at Zhang Can and asked, "Xiao Zhang, I don't think there is any difference between these few dollars and those ten dollars, how can you conclude that these three dollars are real? Are those ten dollars fake?"

Zhang Can said with a smile: "Mr. Zheng, I think you must have tested me, so I'll just talk about it and make a fool of myself. Let me say it first. I don't know much about Hetian jade, so just talk about it casually. Don't be angry if you're wrong."

"Don't be angry, don't be angry, just say it!" Zheng Dabao smiled, shook his hands, and urged Zhang Can to speak quickly, and it was too late for him.

"As the saying goes, if you can't cut jade, you can't make it into a tool. This is not very appropriate to apply to the beautiful seed jade. It can be carved into various exquisite devices, and the same thing can be made into many things. It is different from jade. Others It is not easy to get good jade or jadeite, and after getting it, there is still a process, that is, carving workmanship. Only when it is carved with superb technology, can it be worth a lot of money. If the carving work is poor, the jade carving will be broken. , the price will come down significantly.”

While Zhang Can was talking, he stroked his throat again. He talked too much, and his throat was a little dry. Zheng Dabao quickly lifted the teapot, filled Zhang Can's bowl with a bowl of milk tea, and said, "Xiao Zhang, drink, drink." Let's have some milk tea!"

Although he wanted to hear what Zhang Can had to say, Zheng Dabao tried his best to suppress it, and asked Zhang Can to drink milk tea to moisten his throat before speaking.

Zhang Can was not too polite, he picked up the milk tea and took a big sip. At this time, the milk tea was not as hot as it was at the beginning, it was a little warm, but the fragrance was still strong, and it tasted the same.

After drinking the milk tea, Zhang Can felt his throat moistened, and Zhang Can said again: "The better the shape and the more beautiful the shape of the seed material like Hetian jade, the engraver is actually reluctant to take a look at it, and usually uses The original shape of the seed material is preserved in the form of gold inlaid package and silver inlaid package, etc. Naturally, the Hetian jade seed material is an exquisite pendant without carving, and this kind of good-shaped seed material is better than any master's masterpiece."

"The body and skin of Hetian jade, that is, the original skin of the protective layer of Hetian jade, the skin color is the external characteristics of Hetian jade. This kind of Hetian jade with jade stone or uncarved characteristics is called 'pu', and the jade skin is also called "pu". There are different shades of color and different subdivisions. Jade articles of different colors are called "Qin" or "Zip", and the color of the seed material is called Qin color. The skin of most jade is ferrous oxide in Hetian jade after a long period of time. Various skin colors formed on the outside of the seed material by soaking and other conditions. This skin color has various shapes, and it can be said that they are not the same. Some are like clouds, some are like arcs, some are like scattered spots, or Big or small, round or square, long or short, or irregular, its colors are also rich and colorful, such as autumn pear skin, bay red skin, tiger skin, sunflower skin, golden skin, crow skin, deer skin, sweet-scented osmanthus skin , reed skin, etc..."

Zhu Senlin and Wang Qian didn't know much about jade, but Zhang Can was dazed by what they said, but Zhang Can didn't seem to get to the point. What Zheng Dabao asked seemed to be the real difference between the three pieces Zhang Can never mentioned the difference between the dozen or so pieces of fake jade.

This was naturally done by Zhang Can on purpose. In fact, his ability to distinguish Hetian jade was not strong, and he only relied on the perspective ability of black and white eyes. Dabao's attention was distracted, and then he said it in other ways, which seemed plausible, and Zheng Dabao couldn't help but not believe it.

Sure enough, Zheng Dabao was stunned, and then asked: "Then... what is the difference between real and fake? I don't think there is a big difference between these ten yuan?"

However, Zheng Dabao still appreciates Zhang Can's understanding of Hetian jade, which is not a lie.

Zhang Can smiled again and said: "Actually, it's not difficult to understand. Hetian jade belongs to tremolite. There are two types of amphibole: tremolite and actinolite. The mineral content of tremolite in Hetian jade is extremely high, and the content of impurity minerals is extremely high. It is very small, and the grain size is extremely fine, which is very obvious under a microscope, but some people with excellent eyesight can tell it as long as they have experience, and moreover, the voice of real jade and fake jade is different..."

As he said that, Zhang Can lightly flicked the jade with his fingertips again, and there was a "clang" sound, and the sound was quite crisp, and then he picked up one of the dozen pieces of fake jade and knocked it, with a "thump" sound. There was a slight sound, which was very dull, and the two were indeed very different.

There is no need for Zhang Can to explain this, everyone present understands.

Zheng Dabao froze, he really couldn't believe how this young man could have such good eyesight?

Zhang Can put two different stones on his face again, and said: "The temperature of the real and fake jade is also different. The temperature of real jade is higher, while the temperature of fake jade or glass is slightly lower."

Zheng Dabao picked up two different pieces of jade and put them on his face, and they were indeed different. It’s not that he’s never heard of them, but he’s just not familiar with them. It’s a coincidence that Zhang Can gathered them together, but Facts are facts, no matter what, Zhang Can can tell the truth from the fake at a glance, and his eyesight really amazed him.

Zhang Can put the three pieces of real jade together again, pointed to the one with mixed colors and said, "Mr. White jade is the best, followed by other colors, but mixed-color jade is generally only yellow and white, while three-color jade is very rare, especially like this piece, which is purple, green and blue, among Hetian jade, green jasper It is common with sapphire, blue belongs to jasper, but purple is rare, and it is rare to see these three colors mixed together!"

Zheng Dabao slapped his thigh and said excitedly: "Really? Someone once offered hundreds of thousands of yuan to buy my mixed-color stone. They said they thought it looked good, not because it was of high value. At that time, I wanted to sell this white one. , I thought the white one was the best, and offered 100 million yuan, but he didn’t want the white one, so the deal didn’t work out, Xiao Zhang, you said the mixed-color one is the best, how much can it sell for?”

Zhang Can smiled and said: "I'm not very accurate, I can only give a general idea, like a piece of extremely high-quality pure white Hetian jade, its value must be several million, or even tens of millions, and this piece Three-color stone, no matter what, I think it will exceed 1000 million."

Speaking of this, Zhang Can just laughed and said nothing. No one can accurately say how much a piece of jade or an antique is worth. There are many condensation factors, among which the operation of the merchant is especially important. Zheng Dabao must understand this aspect, and Zhu Senlin and Wang Qian must understand it. As long as it operates well, some things are only worth 100 million. Can sell for 500 million, or higher.

Zheng Dabao also smiled comprehendingly, but the bearded face on his face was especially ferocious and terrifying when he smiled. Fortunately, Zhang Can understood that he was Wang Qian's friend, so there was no need to worry about him having any bad intentions. .

Wang Qian and Zhu Senlin once again saw Zhang Can's ability, now there is no need for Zheng Dabao to say it again, it is almost certain that Zhang Can is right, if he is wrong, Zheng Dabao would have said it long ago, how could it be as it is now? Such a convincing expression?

Regarding Zhang Can's ability in this area, only Su Xue knew the least. She only saw it when Zhang Can recognized the rosewood Buddhist beads in her hand, but it was only one time. Zhang Can's physique is the best. During the deep-sea diving and this storm accident, Zhang Can accurately saw the occurrence of the disaster, which shocked her too much.

Zheng Dabao couldn't stop thinking about it, he looked around the room, and then said: "Xiao Zhang, take a look again, what is valuable in the things in my room?"

As soon as the words came out, Wang Qian, Zhu Sen, and Su Xue all looked up and looked around. In Zheng Dabao's living room, there were many hanging ornaments on the four walls, including animal bones, horns, and tiger claws. , snake skin, ivory, etc. Wang Qian and the other three almost all set their sights on the two pieces of tiger claws and ivory. In this era, of course, these most precious animals are the most valuable.

After Zheng Dabao finished speaking, he stared at Zhang Can to see how he could distinguish and what he thought.

While looking at these pendants on the wall, Zhang Can used his black and white eyes to see through, and squinted his eyes slightly. In the black and white world, he already had a score in his heart, and smiled and said, "Mr. Zheng, are you not afraid of me telling the truth?"

Zheng Dabao also waved his hands with a smile and said, "Just say yes, don't worry."

Zhang Can nodded immediately, then pointed to the west wall and said, "As I said, among the pendants in this room, only the little yellow dot is the most valuable!"
