Fortunately, Sima Dilong didn't take out a few small jade boxes from the jade box, otherwise everyone would have been dumbfounded and just placed the jade boxes in the middle of the long table and walked aside.
The white-headed man opened his eyes and took a look, then closed them again without saying anything. The sad face on the far right reached out and opened the jade box, and took out a red jade Buddha from it, about six or seven centimeters high and four centimeters tall.
It is wide and three to four centimeters thick, crystal clear, dazzling red, and very eye-catching.
When I saw it, I immediately became energetic. I just thought this thing looked cool. I have seen a lot of Jade Buddhas. Although I can’t afford it, it’s free to go to a jade shop. It doesn’t matter if you look at it. Sapphire, white jade, topaz, etc.
I have seen the black jade one before, but this is the first time I have seen the red jade one.
The eyes of all the spectators in the audience were also brightened, and two of them swallowed their saliva. They looked at it with a sad face, nodded and praised a few words, and handed it to the two judges sitting on the left.
The fat old man in Tang suit took it, "tsk tsk" twice, stood up, took the jade box first and said: "Okay, the best among jade, it is Xinjiang Hetian jade, Hetian jade is third grade, first grade seed material, usually
Formed in the river bed, it has been washed by the river water for a long time, removing its dross and leaving its essence, making it moist, soft and delicate in texture."
"Second-grade mountain water generally refers to mountain materials originally growing at high altitudes that are peeled off and rolled down by natural factors, such as earthquakes, low-shell changes, natural weathering and collapse, etc., and are washed and transported by natural factors such as rain and torrents.
The surface of jade formed in the upper and middle parts of the river is relatively smooth, shiny and moist, second only to the seed material."
"The third grade is mountain material. Mountain material is also called Gaibaoyu, which refers to the original jade ore produced in the mountains. Its quality is far inferior to that of seed material and mountain water. Strictly speaking, it means that the mountain material has always been hidden deep in the mountain.
In the mountains, it has not been baptized by nature and has not absorbed the essence of the sun and the moon, so it is very different from the seed material in terms of the delicate texture and luster."
"And this jade box is carved from the finest seed material. Needless to say, the value of such a large piece of seed material. There are five bats carved on the four sides and the bottom of the box, and a unicorn is carved on the lid. The unicorn is an auspicious beast.
, the homophonic pronunciation is five blessings and auspiciousness, which is a good omen."
Having said this, he raised the Jade Buddha in his other hand and said: "Although Hetian Jade is good, it is not the best. After all, with your wealth, everyone has one or two pieces, but this thing is rare."
Already."
"This is a piece of chalcedony, also known as jade paste. It is one of the oldest varieties of jade in my country. It has already appeared as jewelry in the Neolithic Age and has continued through the generations to this day."
"Chalcedony, as the name suggests, is the essence of jade. Most of them are white or transparent. Red, green, blue, purple, yellow, and black are rare, but they are not particularly rare. But this blood-colored chalcedony is
It is extremely rare. There is a saying in the industry, which is called half a tael of blood for ten thousand catties of precious jade, which refers to this kind of blood chalcedony, which shows its high value. And this jade Buddha is so big, it is not just half a tael. As for the value! Everyone
Weigh it yourself!"
After finishing speaking, the fat old man in Tang suit put the blood chalcedony Buddha statue back into the jade box and sat back down. He seemed quite proud of the knowledge he had just shown off, and his smiling face, which was already full of red, was
His smile is as good as that of Maitreya Buddha.
As soon as he sat down, someone in the audience shouted: "Although blood chalcedony is rare, it still has a measurable price. Compared with the night pearl just now, I think it is not as good as the nine Apocalypse Emperors.
If you put together a hand-made sandalwood box, today's antiques would be worth several times as much if they were touched by a famous person, let alone something made by the emperor of the Ming Dynasty himself."
