Chapter 964: Alexandrite Cat's Eye

The next little thing made Luo Tian tremble. Seeing his strange expression, the third child was a little worried: "What's wrong? Have you found a fake?"

"No, I just discovered that today is probably the most valuable thing." Luo Tian said, "And there are actually a lot of them."

What Luo Tian said was that there were nine cats' eyes in this box. Each one weighed nine carats. Among them, there were three yellow cats' eyes and five pink cats' eyes.

, one of the most precious stones has the dual characteristics of alexandrite and cat's eye stone, "cat's eye stone. The light phenomenon exhibited by cat's eye stone is the same as that of a cat's eye. It is flexible and bright, and can change with the intensity of light. In fact, cat's eye stone

It is not the name of the gemstone, chrysoberyl is its real name. Cat's eye is just a phenomenon. For high-quality cat's eye gemstones, the cat's eye line should be thin and narrow, with clear boundaries; the eyes should open and close flexibly to show vitality; cat's eye

The color should be in sharp contrast with the background; and the cat eyeliner should be located in the center of the curved surface. The most important thing to mention is this one."

Luo Tian singled out the cat's eye stone with alexandrite properties: "This one is the most precious among these cat's eye stones. In addition to having the cat's eye effect, it also has the properties of alexandrite. Alexandrite is also called alexandrite.

Because Alexandrite contains trace amounts of chromium oxide, chrysoberyl, also known as cat's eye, has a special discoloration effect of appearing red under candlelight and tungsten light, and green under sunlight. Therefore, it is also known as 'the stone of daytime'.

Emerald, the ruby ​​in the night, this one alone is worth 1.5 million, and the others are slightly less valuable, but they are also worth more than one million yuan, so this box..."

"Tens of tens of millions?" Lao San has always been calm, but now he is also adding words. No wonder, Luo Tian said that he may have found the most valuable thing today. I see, but these cats' eye stones are worth more than ten million yuan...



"I'm really curious, are these the wealth left behind by the Kingdom of Heaven?" Luo Tian sighed: "It is quite difficult to flee with so much wealth, unless..."

"Unless what?" After Luo Tianyi said, the third child also felt that the escape, the hiding place, and these antiques were a bit... mysterious.

"Unless they have foreseen the failure, they have made preparations in advance to send a group of people out to preserve the blood of the Kingdom of Heaven. These are all preparations made in advance, so they have such a thorough location. When I came down,

It feels suspicious. Such a huge project cannot be completed temporarily during the escape. It must take a long time of planning. Just transporting supplies will consume a lot of manpower, material resources, and most importantly - time.

." Luo Tian said: "When you are on the run, will you have so much time to build such a large project?"

Luo Tian's analysis was completely reasonable, and the third child was also stunned. Luo Tian waved his hand: "Okay, let's not mention this matter for now, let's read these things first, but I have a request."

"Say." Lao San said happily: "With me here, what else can't you achieve?"

"My curiosity has risen. I'm wondering if there are any clues in Master Jiu's study. After that, how about you let me go to Master Jiu's study to have a look?" Luo Tian said: "It stands to reason that outside

I charge a fee for estimating people’s eyes, but today it’s all free of charge!”

The third child immediately felt that the man in front of him was very sinister. The three million he received last time, plus a blood diamond, was enough, right? Now he can still talk to himself about "free of charge".

Patting himself on the head: "I really can't help it. What you said has made me curious. Okay, I promise you, it's just a study, so you can continue first."

"Rice brick tea," Luo Tian said: "This thing appears here a bit unexpectedly."

"How do you say it?" The third child knows nothing about these things, and now he has completely become a primary school student.

"The Kingdom of Heaven was destroyed in 1864, and this rice brick tea was produced in the 1870s, so the time doesn't match up." Luo Tian said, "Unless it was purchased from outside after coming here, it has been preserved, but

According to what you said before, you brought these with you when you fled, isn't this a conflict?"

"I see, the smell smells like tea." The third child breathed out, finally meeting something he knew.

"In the 1870s, a tea factory was set up in Hankou, where rice bricks were pressed mechanically and shipped to Russia for re-export. 1888 was the heyday of rice brick production and export. Rice brick tea has a smooth surface, dark color, gentle aroma and mellow taste.

.Due to the beautiful shape of rice bricks, some Westerners put rice bricks with frames in their living rooms and display them as handicrafts. Rice bricks are a kind of red brick tea made by steaming and pressing katami tea of ​​black tea. Its sprinkled noodles and

The rice bricks are all made of green tea, so they are called rice bricks. The rice bricks have beautiful appearance, sharp edges and corners, clear and beautiful grain patterns, bright black color, thick red soup inside, pure fragrance and mellow taste."

Luo Tian roughly gestured the size of the brick tea with his hands: "The rice bricks were originally divided into two specifications: 72-meter bricks and 48-meter bricks, that is, each basket contains 72 and 48 bricks of tea. These are the specifications of the 48-meter bricks, which are well preserved.

, estimated at 120,000. The price of tea changes every year. This fluctuation is relatively large, but for tea and rice bricks, it will only rise and will definitely not fall in the short term, but it must be kept well. All these

Collections are all the same. If they lose their appearance, their value will decline. Do you understand?"

"I understand." The third child took a deep breath.

"Tea bricks are different from ordinary antiques, so the preservation methods must be in place. Brick tea is generally not made from the young leaves of tea, but from old leaves. The fluorine content of brick tea is higher than that of other teas. Do not

Drinking it will not do any good to the body, and the tea bricks should be stored in a ventilated and dry place. The environment here is not suitable for the storage of brick tea. It is underground and closed and damp." Luo Tian said: "If necessary.

It’s better to save it somewhere else.”

"I understand." Lao San said.

"Porcelain pillow, from the Tang Dynasty." Luo Tian hurriedly went to Jiuye's study and subconsciously sped up his movements: "This is a porcelain pillow made from the Changsha kiln in the Tang Dynasty."

Changsha Kiln, also known as Tongguan Kiln, was one of the largest celadon kilns in the south during the Tang Dynasty. It began in the early Tang Dynasty and flourished in the middle and late Tang Dynasty. The porcelain produced by it is rich in variety, beautiful and exquisite, and highly practical. These porcelains

Adding colorful patterns under the celadon glaze broke the monochromatic celadon glaze that dominated the world before the Tang Dynasty.

Changsha kiln products can be divided into porcelain bodies and pottery bodies. The soil of the pottery bodies is impure and sandy. After firing, it is brown or iron-gray, with a rough cross-section and high water absorption. It is commonly called a cylinder tile body. Most of the porcelain bodies are off-white or fragrant gray.

, blue-grey, the characteristics of Changsha kiln glaze are obviously reflected in the rough texture of the product in the early Tang Dynasty, not hard, dark red, slightly gray-yellow-gray-green, the glaze layer is thin, the glaze color is yellow in the blue, and has a tendency of ginger.

.

In the middle and late Tang Dynasty, the color of the fetus was basically dark gray or light gray, the texture of the fetus was harder and finer than before, the degree of bonding between the fetus and glaze was greatly improved, and the degree of porcelain was quite high. The carcass of Changsha kiln was generally coarse

Thick, the difference is obvious compared with the fetal bones of Xing kiln at the same time. The glaze color is mainly cyan glaze, in addition to white glaze and brown glaze. Cyan glaze is divided into two types: cyan yellow and cyan green. The glaze is fine and translucent.

When you observe the glaze, you can see that the surface is covered with colorless fine fragments, which are dense, even, and softly distributed. The surface of the glaze is often uneven, and the uneven thickness of the glaze layer can be seen in an object.

Most of the glazes are colored, and a few products apply a slightly cyan white glaze on the gray-white body. Some also apply a thin layer of white or light gray cosmetic powder on the body first, and then apply the glaze to increase the brightness of the glaze and set off the painted patterns.

Decoration effect. The main methods of glazing are: glaze dipping, dipping glaze, pouring glaze, dripping glaze and coating. Glazes include green, sauce, white, green, red and three-color glaze.
