Gobi jade with gem luster has not yet been identified whether it belongs to jade or crystal. Its amazing luster and rare appearance make the price of gem luster far higher than that of Gobi jade, which is close to that of Hotan.
Mutton-fat jade, a gemstone with a diameter of 5 cm has a market price of up to hundreds of thousands of yuan.
However, the value of each piece of jade still depends on personal preference. For those who like it, it is a treasure, but for those who don't, it is just a stone.
It was because he had heard about this exquisite Gobi jade that Han Peacock entered the Gobi as his first stop after leaving the Kunlun Mountains.
The Gobi Desert is very beautiful at night. As evening approached, we drove to the vast Gobi Desert in Chagan Tunge.
The setting sun is getting closer and closer to the horizon, and the vast Gobi desert shows a different charm from the daytime due to the reflection of the setting sun. The refraction of the sun makes every stone on the Gobi desert have a layer of aperture, and the undulating hillsides are covered with blood red.
The stones of various colors, including azure blue, pure white, and orange, are crystal clear, like the witch's pearls, adding a bit of mystery to the place.
People who love stones often say that stones are about the word "destiny". Now I am standing in the Gobi Desert under the sunset, with colorful stones under my feet. Who would have thought that there are many things in these seemingly ordinary stones?
, how many crystal agates and beautiful Gobi jade are there, and which one is destined for me?
I leaned over and picked up a red stone and held it in my hand. The stone was cold. Here it watched the sunrise and sunset, enjoying the peace of thousands of years. It has gone through thousands of years of transformation to form its current beauty. Therefore, every stone has its own beauty.
It is a gift from God.
According to legend, in ancient times, there was a leak in the sky. The water from the sky poured down, Xinjiang became a vast ocean, the seasons were chaotic, and all living things were killed.
Empress Nuwa repaired the sky and collected five-color stones from the Altay Mountains, Tianshan Mountains and Kunlun Mountains in Xinjiang.
After the patching of the sky was successful, Empress Nuwa saw that the heaven and the earth were functioning normally, and she felt a sense of joy in her heart. She had mixed feelings and tears welled up in her eyes. Two tears fell down to the mortal world, and one tear fell to Hotan, Xinjiang. After this drop
The tear-moistened stone turned into beautiful Hotan jade.
When another tear fell, it passed through a rainbow over the Junggar Basin, fell into the basin, and turned into Gobi jade.
The car was driving on the Gobi Desert, and following the headlights I saw that there was no snow on the roadside.
Qian Mingyuan introduced. The climate here is desert, with little rainfall and snowfall all year round. The rare snowfall in winter has long been absorbed by the thirsty desert.
"Maybe it's because the Gobi Desert is too desolate and I'm afraid of being forgotten by the world, so God turned the Gobi stones here into beautiful jade jewelry." Listening to Qian Mingyuan's introduction, he looked at Gobi who was still sleeping outside the car and thought.
After dawn, you can see the magical Gobi jade. The Korean peacock does not feel too cold.
In the evening, they stayed one night in Chagan Tunge. There were troops stationed here and there were a lot of people. It was the location of the 184th Regiment Field. The population was only over 10,000, but there were more than 20 specialty stores selling various kinds of strange stones.
Although Gobi jade is produced in the surrounding counties of Wu, Erhe, Heshituo, Luogai, He and Feng, in terms of variety, output, and color, it is here that the most are found. However, the destination of Han Kongque and his companions is not here.
Gobi colored jade was formed on the Gobi Desert over hundreds of millions of years. The locals call it "Karamay jade", "Ehe jade" and "Urho jade" due to different places of origin. However, the texture is the same, and many of them are People collectively call these jade "Yadan jade" based on the local Yadan landform characteristics.
Gobi jade is characterized by good oiliness, high hardness, high brightness and limited origin. It is limited to a few small areas in northern Xinjiang. It is mainly colored jade with bright colors, such as red, waxy yellow, mud green, etc. .
Some small materials can be drilled directly into a simple and rough exquisite hanging, and some can be carved into handles or ornaments.
In the past, people regarded Hetian jade as jade, and Gobi jade as only Gobi stone. With the increase in scientific testing and collection of people in recent years, Gobi jade has become a new type of jade and is sought after because of its beautiful color.
Some collectors jokingly say, "If the delicate and warm Hetian jade is a charming girl, the Gobi jade that has experienced thousands of years of weathering and vicissitudes is a rugged northwest man."
"From being everywhere to being hard to find, it only took a dozen years." Qian Mingyuan sighed while saying.
Before 2005, people here did not know that the oily stone that they often played with would become Gobi jade that is worth a hundred times as much today.
Because there are many kinds of stones in the Gobi Desert, local people used to pick up some beautiful-looking agate stones just for fun.
I can pick up a few pieces of this kind of stone on the roadside everywhere, but I didn't realize at the time that I was picking up Gobi jade.
Since 2005, people have been picking up Gobi jade from other places, mostly for hobbies and collections. Slowly, as the value of Hetian jade continues to rise, people have discovered the room for appreciation of Gobi jade.
Troops of stone pickers come from all over Xinjiang and other provinces and cities across the country. Especially from April to October every year, the number of stone pickers can reach 30,000 to 50,000 in just one weekend. It has been silent for hundreds of years. The peace of the Gobi Desert was also broken.
Most of these stone pickers traveled by car, which boosted the tourism economy at that time.
Relying on natural advantages, local people have opened specialty stone shops and Gobi jade polishing and processing shops, with each shop generating an annual income of more than 100,000 yuan.
Stone pickers or stone buyers also brought a large number of local strange stones or raw Gobi jade stones to all parts of the country. However, within five years, the Gobi jade that was once everywhere on the Gobi Desert became hard to find. Even few people cared about it before. The agate stone has also become very rare.
Things are rare and valuable. At present, the price of Gobi jade has increased more than a hundred times. Therefore, although there are many Gobi jade here, more people come here to pick up Gobi jade every year. After these years of searching, no matter how much Gobi jade there is, They will also be picked up.
Picking up jade here now is just a matter of luck. Unless you are lucky, otherwise, trying to pick up gemstones is almost the same as dreaming.
Gobi jade is so rare now. Gemstone light is naturally even rarer, that is, because it is rare, Korean peacocks are more interested in it.
Gemstones are the finest among Xinjiang's gold and jade. They were born on the vast Gobi desert, under the scorching sun and strong winds, and are as hazy and enchanting as mist. They are eye-catching even without carving.
Many people are vying to pursue it, and the owner loves it as if it were a treasure.
In the beautiful Irtysh River Basin, on the northwest edge of the vast Zhungeer Basin, people discovered a stunningly beautiful stone, golden silk jade, which shone like a gem. People called it "gem" Light".
Geological and mineral experts say: The original rock of this stone is mostly distributed in the alluvial sediment gravel layer formed in the Tertiary Period. Due to its hard texture, it has been mostly used to process sculptures in recent years. It is crystal clear and brightly colored. It will be transmitted under sunlight.
It emits a strong light, which is called "gem light" by local stone friends. This stone has a large resource reserve and good development prospects.
Gemstone is a kind of chalcedony. Among the more than 40 kinds of chalcedony that have been discovered so far, the most peculiar and precious one is a kind called chalcedony. It has beautiful color and can be used as the chalcedony of gemstones.
The name comes from Karen, where it was first discovered. Due to the harsh environment and geological conditions of the Junggar Basin in Xinjiang, the most unique fluorescent chalcedony in the world is now only found in the Gobi of the Junggar Basin in Xinjiang.
Something was discovered. Very precious.
This kind of fluorescent chalcedony is orange to red translucent chalcedony, with fine texture, crystal clear, pure and thick color, high hardness, and the sound is crisp and melodious when tapped lightly. It is produced by high temperature and high pressure when meteorites hit the mining area. Among them,
The red color is caused by iron oxide impurities. It is the sister stone of ruby and is very rare.
The best quality is translucent, transparent and bright red. The color is like clouds, soft and beautiful. In addition to red, there are also orange, yellow and white.
The reserves of golden silk jade are large, but the amount of gemstone light is very small.
The output of chalcedony is not low in the world, but the output of good chalcedony, such as Australian jade and Taiwan and Taiwan sapphire, is very rare, so the price is very high.
However, as for the newly discovered red, white and yellow jade, the gemstones in golden silk jade are smooth in quality and rich in color, and each piece has a natural and moist shape polished by wind and sand. It is called jade seed material and does not require any polishing.
It is beautiful and elegant with its carvings, so it is favored by collectors all over the world.
What's more important is that this kind of beautiful chalcedony, which only exists in the Gobi Desert, has irregular and single-grain distribution, does not have any veins to search for, so its output is even less than that of Hetian jade.
Therefore, the price of gemstones is soaring, which is based on scientific evidence and is not just due to speculation among the people.
"Gemstones are really that expensive?" Huangshan asked as he walked on the desolate next door.
"For the potential of gemstone collection, you can refer to Taiwan and Taiwan sapphires, etc., and there is more room for value-added than them." Han Kongque said while looking at his feet.
Early in the morning, Han Kongque and the others entered the Gobi. They drove first. When the car couldn't move any further, they got off and walked. After dawn, when Qian Mingyuan was in the right place, they started looking for Gobi jade.
"Jade is jade. Is there really any jade that can rival gemstones?" Although Wei Changqing has been to Hotan several times, he has never personally looked for Gobi jade, let alone a top-grade jade like the magical gem light.
marrow.
"Karamay gemstones are beautiful, rare, durable, and can be processed into decorations. They completely meet the definition of natural gemstones. You can be sure that gemstones are gemstones." Han Kongque said.
"Karamay? I have only heard of Karamay jade." Huang Shan said.
"Now you know, there is also a kind of Karamay jade called gem light." Han Peacock said with a smile.
"Then I have to look carefully. This time I come out and make a lot of money out of my wife." Huang Shan said with a smile.
"Then you have to find a top-quality gemstone, otherwise no girl will be willing to marry you." Qian Mingyuan said jokingly.
Huangshan curled his lips and said: "As long as something is of the highest quality, there won't be too much of it. I won't be so greedy. Oh! Isn't this the gem light?"
