This little kid must have owed a debt to the Internet cafe. He didn't know where he got this stone to sell. Luo Tian asked him while taking out the money: "Where did you get this stone?"
"I picked it up." The young man said impatiently: "Hurry up!"
Ding Cheng made a face behind the young man. Luo Tian glared at him and took out 600 yuan and gave it to the young man: "Okay, deal!"
The boy took the money and ran faster than a rabbit. He looked really anxious. He was probably another kid addicted to the Internet. However, Luo Tiancai didn't believe that he would randomly pick up a stone and sell it in an antique shop.
Ding Cheng came over and looked at the blood-red stone: "Wow, Brother Tian, it looks like it's stained with blood. Couldn't this red be dyed there? Are you being kind again and deliberately giving him six hundred yuan?"
Ah, today's children are really uneducated."
The chicken blood stone that Luo Tian collected was a raw stone that had not been processed in any way. It was all bright red on the surface. However, the chicken blood stone was the same as jade. Without opening the skylight, you would not know if there was red inside without looking inside, just like inside the raw stone.
Not as green.
"Ding Cheng, bring the small saw blade." Luo Tian brought the small saw blade, looked at the piece of chicken blood stone, and then cut off one-third of the right side. The small piece that was cut off was full of
No red!! Ding Cheng was stunned and blurted out: "Fake!!"
"Don't be impatient." Luo Tian took away the palm covering the other half of the bloodstone: "Look at what this is?"
The inside of that side is all red, so bright that it seems like if you move, the blood inside will flow out. Ding Cheng still doesn't believe it: "Maybe it's dyed. There are so many tricks on little brats these days. It doesn't matter.
It’s really not a good idea to use a stone just to defraud some Internet money.”
"Come on, you were like this before." Luo Tian smiled and said: "It's too simple to know whether the red color is dyed. I will prove to you now that this is a genuine soapstone.
"
"Okay." Not only Ding Cheng, but also Lao Zhang and A Yi gathered around.
"Ayi, do you have any emery cloth or sandpaper in the store? Bring some over here." Luo Tian found a place to sit down and started to give orders. Ayi found a piece of sandpaper and said, "Boss."
Luo Tian took the sandpaper and rubbed it on the soapstone. He saw red powder falling straight down. Luo Tian wiped it with his hand: "Look, even this powder is red. Only the real soapstone has been polished."
Only later will the stone appear powdery and cinnabar-red. If it is an imitation, the dust will not be red after polishing. This is the simplest identification method, and the tools are simple. You all remember it.
, if you encounter a similar situation in the future, do you know what to do?"
"Brother Tian, are there any other methods? Let me teach you them." Ding Cheng was very smart and immediately took the opportunity to learn the skills.
"Okay, there is progress. If you want to make progress, it's too late for me to be happy." Luo Tian asked the three of them to hold the chicken blood stone in their hands to weigh the weight: "The real chicken blood stone is heavier and more stable, but the fake one is light and frivolous when held in the hand.
Without such a strong sense of reality, this is the most basic method of discernment.”
Ding Cheng weighed it: "Well, it can also be said that the density is relatively high, right?"
"Well, that's right. It's easy to solve after just one click." Luo Tian praised it greatly: "Looking at the surface, the fake bloodstone has no silver spots, and the color is uneven, the lines are of different thickness, and the pattern is also very unnatural. This
It is easy to distinguish with the naked eye. In addition, the surface of real chicken bloodstone is generally smooth and smooth without many holes; while fake chicken bloodstone is often dyed by dipping. Over time, the pores on the epidermis will become thicker, so use a magnifying glass to carefully
If you look at the surface, you will find tiny brown eyes, so you can tell it is a fake."
"Boss, unlike you, we can't see it with the naked eye. What should we do?" Ayi and Ding Cheng looked at each other and smiled knowingly. The two of them now have a tacit understanding.
"It's simple. I have a way to teach you. In addition to using sandpaper and emery cloth just now, you can also use a knife to carve. The fake chicken bloodstone will turn into plastic curled stone chips after being cut with a knife. You can feel it. Then burn it with fire, and the fake chicken bloodstone will become
It has the smell of burnt glue, but real bloodstone does not; there is another method, which is also very simple, because each of us has this tool." Luo Tian looked at the three people with a smile: "That is teeth."
Lao Zhang touched his dentures and said: "I can't do this trick anymore, but two young people can use it." These words caused a burst of laughter. Lao Zhang is usually honest and honest, but unexpectedly he is also quite humorous.
"The hardness of soapstone is very low. If you bite the surface of the stone with your teeth or scratch it with a carving knife, it will leave marks. However, the hardness of quartz stone, which is similar to the stone bloodstone, is relatively high, and it is difficult for your teeth to bite it."
The three people suddenly realized, and Ding Cheng protested: "Boss, you have to teach us these things more often in the future. Only when we make progress can we be optimistic about the store. Without you, we will have more confidence."
"There's nothing wrong with this. I won't go out recently." Luo Tian said while feeling a little guilty. It's not certain whether he will go on a "business trip" or not. He might be hit with something again one day."
This piece of soapstone is a bright red lump. You can determine what kind of soapstone it is based on its hardness. However, we don’t have the equipment to test the hardness in our store. As for me, I have no way to get the result for the time being."
"Oh." The three of them responded in unison.
Ding Cheng has the most questions: "Is this piece of chicken blood stone sold directly in the store?"
"Well..." Luo Tian shook his head: "I won't sell it for now. I'll find someone to test the hardness first to see what kind of bloodstone it is, so that the value can be clear. Okay, this matter is over, you can go and get busy.
Bar."
Luo Tian looked at the chicken blood stone in his hand. In fact, chicken blood stone and jade raw materials have a lot in common. Bi Na must be very careful when cutting the material, and must not cut it rashly, otherwise it will cause huge losses. Before cutting,
First, put the raw materials of chicken blood stone into clean water and brush away the soil with a brush. Some "running nest" chicken blood stones are covered with a layer of yellow skin on the surface. This layer of skin is very hard and will damage the saw teeth, so you need to hammer it with a small hand.
Gently remove this layer of skin, with enough force to remove the skin. Do not use excessive force.
If there are many white spots on the stone, it will affect the observation of the direction of the blood vessels. Then lightly polish it with coarse sandpaper to reveal the true color. At this time, you need to carefully observe the stone in many aspects. First, look at the amount of chicken blood red.
and direction distribution. The second is to see whether the ground of the stone is warm and transparent. The third is to see the color of the stone and its possible changes. A medium-to-high-level chicken blood stone that meets these three conditions is rare.

There are those who bet on green, but are there those who bet on red?
