"The color of topaz seed material is often very light or vague. If it is rich in color, 99% of it is made from Brazilian mountain materials. ○" Gan Mingyuan explained with a smile.
Qian Mingyuan said: "Topaz is not expensive in the first place. If the color is not bright and transparent, and the value is even lower, it can still be speculated. If it were me, I would rather buy amethyst, buy peridot, buy garnet , don’t want these either.”
Wei Changqing said: "It's not easy to buy even if you want to buy it now. It's difficult to invest in topaz materials and purchase channels."
Qian Mingyuan nodded and said: "Yes! In July last year, a friend of mine once collected goods in Dure Township, Fuyun County. He said: Xinjiang is too big and too far away. It takes a month to collect goods. Time is often not enough to harvest much, and the output is too small. Every day when the sun goes down, I look forward to the herdsmen coming back to collect stones, but not many can pick them up."
Han Kongque said with a smile: "No matter whether topaz is good or not, resource scarcity exists. As long as topaz seed resources are lacking, prices will continue to rise. At present, investors purchase topaz seeds mainly through the place of origin. Direct revenue channels from the market, and more channels may be established in the near future.
Topaz will become an upstart investment. We still have opportunities now, so we’d better look for more. We will save money when the topaz is speculated and we don’t have the goods.”
Qian Mingyuan said: "Topaz is already very difficult to pick up in Duhe. In 2002, I could pick up more than ten kilograms a day in Muddleheaded. Now sometimes I can't pick up even one thumb-sized piece a day. Let alone picking up topaz. There are even very few Gobi crystals. Human power is so great!"
Wei Changqing said: "I don't know about other places. Hotan is just crazy. So, are there still stones that are not fireable now?"
Gu Tong nodded in agreement: "When people are crazy, everything is crazy."
"It's okay to go crazy for these beautiful stones." Huangshan, who usually doesn't like these things, is very optimistic about gemstones. This is mainly because gemstones are really beautiful.
Han Peacock said with a smile: "These stones with 'jewel light' are not ordinary stones, they are typical chalcedony, that is, gemstones, and they are very perfect gemstones. Such gemstones are beautiful even if they are not carved. Otherwise, I wouldn’t be so popular.”
Qian Mingyuan said: "If a gem can be carved, it should not be carved. We should try our best to maintain the plain color and luster of the original stone."
Zhaodong Ke came over at this time: "Ordinary golden silk jade is also a treasure. It cannot be carved randomly. We must try to maintain its natural form. It is best to play with the original stone, because we have not yet understood it clearly, so it is better to leave it as it is. By giving it to future generations, its value can be maximized."
"Of course golden silk jade is a good thing, but it's not that common these days." Han Peacock said regretfully.
"Golden Silk Jade" is produced in areas with a radius of 100 kilometers from Urho Devil City, Karamay City, Xinjiang, terraces, Gobi Desert, deserts and other areas. It is a jade variety with great potential for carving works of art. Because it is produced in ancient silk Luzhi jade is golden yellow with carrot patterns inside, hence its name "Jinsi Jade".
"Golden Silk Jade" is mainly produced in secondary mineral deposits that have been transported long distances by rivers. After carving, it has high ornamental and collection value. It is a unique species in China. With the continuous mining, it is now difficult to mine it. Found in the wild.
The gemstone is the best among gold and jade, so the quantity is even smaller.
Zhaodong Ke said: "Before 2003, if you went to the quarry beach, it would be no problem for one person to pick up 1,000 kilograms of 'gold silk jade' in a day. But now, you may not be able to pick up even 1 piece. Let alone high-level ones." Gemlight'."
Qian Mingyuan said: "In recent years, we have often heard golden silk jade enthusiasts say: Under such circumstances, it is not surprising that the price of 'gold silk jade' rough stones has increased significantly."
Han Kongque said: "The price increase of gold silk jade is not simply due to the scarcity of resources. Anything that can be hyped is beautiful, and gold silk jade is no exception. In fact, in recent years, the price of gold silk jade has increased. The big reason is because of the uncanny craftsmanship of Shanghai-style masters and Lingnan masters, that kind of master-level craftsmanship, which has become a pair of 'wings' for the price of gold and jade to soar."
Zhao Dongke, Wei Changqing and Qian Mingyuan all agree with Han Kongque's words. They are all insiders and are engaged in this line of business, so they naturally know why the price of gold silk and jade has increased.
Han Kongque said it right, gold silk jade is a good thing, and with the meticulous craftsmanship of some modern masters, the art produced is amazing. It is natural for such things to increase in price.
Golden silk jade is quartzite jade. Over hundreds of millions of years, golden silk jade has been baptized by the years in the Gobi Desert, which is suddenly cold and hot, and eventually grew into a very stable and excellent jade variety.
It has various colors, including red, yellow, green, black, white...the same color will also show different levels, and the appearance is very beautiful.
At the same time, its properties are very stable, unlike Huanglong jade, which will "lose water" and "lose color". It is also very hard and very suitable for being carved into various handicrafts.
But Golden Silk Jade is not without its weaknesses. Its weakness is that it has been around for too short a time. It does not have the profound historical and cultural accumulation of Hetian Jade and Jade. This is a major flaw that has been criticized by people for "Golden Silk Jade". .
But Han Kongque once saw a 1,300-year-old tiger-handled gold cup in a museum. It was made of red chalcedony, and should be the same quality jade as the so-called "gold silk jade."
This shows that the history of use of "gold silk jade" is very long, but because of the inexplicable disappearance of the ancient Loulan country, its history of use was suddenly blocked.
Or perhaps because the Gobi Desert has been inaccessible since ancient times, "golden silk jade" has not been known to the public for a long time.
"We don't want to think about things within a fixed range. As long as they are famous places, they will never wait for us to look for them now." Wei Changqing rolled his eyes and thought of other things.
According to inspections and explorations, the Xinjiang and Xinjiang Zhun and Gar basins are the main producing areas of gold and jade.
"Golden silk jade" is mainly exposed and distributed in Karamay and other areas, among which the Gobi Desert to the west of Karamay's "Devil City" is the most famous.
The products within a radius of 100 kilometers around the "Devil City" have the best quality and the smallest output.
With this limitation, those of them who enter the market late will naturally not have the possibility to stock up on large quantities of goods.
"I think we should go to Luobu Bo to have a look. Maybe we can gain something there." Qian Mingyuan said.
"Luo, Bu Nur is a large area, with harsh living conditions and few people in the past. Although we can leave something behind, the area is so large that we may not gain much from going there," Wei Changqing said.
Qian Mingyuan said: "I do know that some places in Luo Bu Bo may produce gem lights. Why don't we try our luck? Even if we can't find gem lights, it's not difficult to find some gold and jade."
Seeing that Han Kongque and Wei Changqing's eyes were focused on him, Qian Mingyuan explained: "It turned out that the reason why I didn't go was because it was too difficult to supply. The reason why Lop Nur is called the Sea of Death is because The living environment there is harsh, and as long as there are enough supplies, we humans will not have any natural enemies, so..."
Qian Mingyuan said no more, but Han Kongque and others already understood what he meant.
As long as there are Korean peacocks, they need force and force, supplies and supplies, and as long as there is no pressure on logistics, there will definitely be no life-threatening danger. If they don't take risks, then no one will dare to go.
"Let's go! Don't hesitate. We've been here for a long time and all we found was rubbish. If we had gone to Luo Bu Bo with Mr. Gan leading the way, we might have found a lot of gems by now." Wei Changqing encouraged Han. Peacock said.
Because Han Kongque had space and extremely powerful force, as long as he followed Han Kongque, he didn't have to worry about anything, so he naturally tried his best to encourage Han Kongque to go to Luo Bu'er, because in that case, it would be almost impossible for them to go encounter any risks.
"Don't think about 'jewel light' when you first come up. It's not that easy to find. If you can find some relatively complete 'gold silk jade', it will be a great gain." Qian Mingyuan immediately explained in advance, saving the money. They went there with too much hope, but couldn't find anything. It would be bad to complain about him then.
"Ah? You can't find the gem light even in Bu Bo?" Wei Changqing looked disappointed.
"If it were so easy to find, the price of gem light wouldn't be so high. You know, the price of the highest-end 'gem light' is 1 gram of 10,000 yuan." Zhaodong is old after all, so he doesn't have that many. fantasy.
"The price is so high?" Wei Changqing was really surprised this time.
Wei Changqing didn't know the price of top-quality gemstones, so he was surprised. This was entirely because the most popular gemstones on the market were gold silk jade.
The most popular ones on the market are mid-to-low-end jade. The price of such jade raw stones ranges from tens to hundreds or thousands of yuan, so compared to top-quality gems that cost tens of thousands of yuan per gram, those are really just garbage.
However, after knowing the price of the best gemstone, Wei Changqing became even more excited, so he looked at Han Peacock with more eager eyes.
Qian Mingyuan naturally understands Wei Changqing's mood. Not to mention him, even he himself is full of fantasies about the best gem light, but after decades of fantasizing, he has never picked up one of the best gem lights.
"For those who really want to get into the industry, a piece of 'gold wire jade' worth tens of yuan is the best choice. As long as you find a master who truly understands it to carve it, you still have the opportunity to 'turn a sparrow into a phoenix', so ordinary gold wire jade is the best choice." The market for jade is even broader." Qian Mingyuan said.
Qian Mingyuan has conducted in-depth research on various local gemstones, so he has a better understanding of what has the most potential in the market now.
Compared with rare gemstones, ordinary gold and silk jade has greater market potential.
But Wei Changqing didn't pay much attention to Qian Mingyuan's reminder. He was still more interested in top gems like Gemstone Light. (To be continued, please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
