The method of using mercury sulfide to fill the bloodstone is to add blood on top of blood. This is undoubtedly the icing on the cake and will greatly increase the value of the bloodstone.
At the same time, there is falsehood within truth, and falsehood within true truth.
Therefore, for particularly good bloodstones, you must pay attention and think of the forger's methods when observing, so as to avoid the consequences of "carelessness and missing Jingzhou".
That is to say, you have to know this kind of counterfeiting method to be able to identify that what you are looking at is a fake.
For this grade of fake bloodstone, it is definitely impossible to tell whether it is genuine or fake according to the usual methods, such as weight, blood color, burning, luster, scraping, touching, etc.
"After seeing the fake ones, let me show you the real ones."
With that said, Qian Qinggu opened another wooden box again.
This time, the box contained the same Dahongpao and top-quality bloodstones, but this time it was not a seal, but twelve small animals.
"Twelve zodiac signs?"
Chen Wenzhe did not use any means, but picked it up and examined it carefully.
The color, weight, luster, etc. are all correct. After using several top-notch fraud methods, no abnormalities were found.
The most important thing is that even if I use a magnifying glass to observe, I can't find any problems inside.
You know, these twelve little animals have very obvious signs of aging, and you can tell that they are old things at a glance.
And there is no change in the interior of such a thing, which is enough to prove that these have not been impregnated and faked.
No matter how carefully I looked, I couldn't find any traces of filling.
Since no traces of fraud were found, it means that these bloodstones are not counterfeit.
Since then, the value of these twelve bloodstones has been very high.
I picked them up one by one and weighed them carefully. Each small thing weighed hundreds of grams.
The most important thing is that each of these little animals is bright red, and the chicken blood in each one accounts for more than 80%. This is definitely the best chicken blood stone.
As one of the three famous sealing stones in China, chicken blood stone has always been loved by people for its bright red color like chicken blood and its luster like jade.
Therefore, since modern times, with the gradual depletion of chicken-blood stone resources, the market for collecting chicken-blood stones has become particularly popular, and the price of chicken-blood stones has therefore increased.
Speaking of the current price of soapstone on the market, it can be said that it is one of the types of seal stones with the fastest rising prices.
Take the famous "Da Hong Pao" in the bloodstone family, its price has almost doubled in the past two years.
In the auction market, the price of the top-quality "Da Hong Pao" bloodstone is very common, not to mention millions, but tens of millions.
Let's take the best of the bloodstones - "Dahongpao" as an example. In the current collection market, the price of Dahongpao bloodstone has reached about 3,000 yuan per gram.
The price of the top-quality Dahongpao is even 100,000 yuan per gram.
Of course, this does not mean that all soapstones are expensive.
If it is a bloodstone with very little "blood volume", its texture and luster will be average, and its price will be around 100 yuan.
After all, the biggest feature of bloodstone is reflected in the word "red", so the more "bloody" bloodstones have, the higher the price will be.
And each of the twelve small animals in Qian Qinggu's hands is considered to be of the highest quality.
Not to mention a set of such things, even if you take out one alone, the price will exceed tens of millions.
Twelve, 120 million. Unexpectedly, Qian Qinggu is still a real rich man.
"I've learned a lot!"
As he spoke, Chen Wenzhe put down the small animal in his hand and picked up the set of seals again.
Qian Qinggu didn't even think about selling his collection when selling his house, so it was impossible to get something good from him.
Therefore, Chen Wenzhe directly paid attention to this set of seals.
Although this has some commemorative value, it has absolutely no collection value.
Chen Wenzhe picked up the magnifying glass and carefully observed a seal in his hand.
However, no matter how he looked, he could not see anything wrong with the stone patterns inside.
Seeing this situation, Chen Wenzhe was moved in his heart.
These seals must have been reprocessed and are definitely not what they looked like more than thirty years ago.
Sure enough, he used backtracking again and at the end, he found that Qian Qinggu was really a master at making old soapstone.
Of course, he just used the filling method again to make these soapstones beautiful.
Therefore, these six seals do not look so primitive.
However, there is no need to deliberately make the seals of the Qing Dynasty very primitive and outdated.
Looking at the six seals in his hand, if these are genuine, each one can be sold for a sky-high price, right?
He can't use this kind of thing now, but Professor Tao should be able to use it. As for how to use it, he will not comment.
Anyway, Chen Wenzhe will not do anything frivolous now.
Having an idea, Chen Wenzhe said: "Mr. Qian, I am not lying. If you give me this set of seals, I will take over your house for 39 million."
Qian Qinggu was overjoyed. An increase of three million was achieved so easily?
He took a look at the thing in Chen Wenzhe's hand. Although he bought this thing for three million, if he sells it now, can he sell it for three million?
This is really not necessarily true, but if he really does this, there will be endless troubles.
Qian Qinggu looked at Chen Wenzhe in surprise. If this thing entered the market, it might be able to sell for 60 million, or even hundreds of millions.
Because these things are not the twelve zodiac signs, they have added value. After all, the Eight Monsters of Yangzhou are not ordinary people. The seals they use have their own identity blessings.
However, it needs to be sold, and it needs to be sold as a genuine product, which is not easy.
"Don't worry, I'm giving this to someone, my teacher Professor Tao. If I give it to him, it won't easily flow into the market."
"Okay, then I'll take advantage of it. In this case, the transaction process is all on my side. You don't need to take action. Once the real estate certificate is processed, I will give it to you directly."
"Haha, this way, I can worry a lot less."
After the business was over, they exchanged their chicken blood stones again, and Chen Wenzhe also talked about his receipt.
"You are so lucky to be able to pick up leaks in the pawn shop. I am good at handling clay paint. If you can trust me, just send it over and I will help you deal with it. I will definitely clean it up for you."
"This is great. I'm worried about how to deal with it. Although I know how to deal with it, I have never done it before. And that piece of chicken blood stone mountain is very finely carved. If you accidentally damage it, it will be too much.
Pity."
"You don't have to be polite. I'll help you handle it and issue you a receipt when the time comes. We make antiques, and we should be villains first, then gentlemen, otherwise we will be in trouble in the future."
