Chapter seven hundred and ninety fourth weathering erosion
He Jinfa and others were stunned when they heard this, and then laughed disdainfully.
He Ming sarcastically said: "Any fool can see that your yellow-green glass is far less valuable than my dad's true green glass, so why is it necessary to have it appraised?
What's the use of procrastinating?
Do you think this can save you from losing?"
Chen Hao said calmly: "Let me ask you, before I made a bet with you, did we agree that if the jadeite is found, the official appraiser of the organizer will conduct a value appraisal?
Then your dad said he would make a bet with me no matter how I made a bet with you.
So what’s wrong with me now proposing to appraise the value of the jade based on the bet?”
He Ming said angrily: "Chen Hao, you must be sick."
At this moment, he was so anxious that he wished he could have Chen Hao kneel down, kowtow, and slap himself in the face. He didn't want to delay it any longer.
He Jinfa smiled slightly and advised: "Son, since the bet has been agreed, let's go and appraise it. Anyway, we are sure to win, so there is no need to rush.
Besides, there are more people in the main exhibition area, wouldn’t it be better to let this hanging silk fulfill its bet in public?”
When he said this, He Ming had no choice but to suppress the anger and urgency in his heart and glared at Chen Hao fiercely: "Yes, Dad."
He Jinjin stretched out his hand with a leisurely expression: "Then please, Mr. Chen, Boss Xu."
Suddenly, Wu Liang said coldly: "Wait a minute."
Everyone looked at him.
Wu Liang walked up to Chen Hao: "Your bet with Boss He needs an appraisal, but my bet with you doesn't.
Now that your bet stone has been solved, it is the yellow-green glass type I mentioned, so if you lose, should you fulfill your bet immediately?"
Hearing this, He Jinfa and others' eyes suddenly lit up.
"Yes, Chen Hao, if you lose the bet with Mr. Wu, please slap yourself in the face."
"Let's see what else you have to say this time."
"Haha, even though it's just a slap in the face, it can be considered as collecting some interest first."
... Chen Hao smiled: "You'd better take a look again to see if the solution obtained by my gambling stone is yellow-green glass."
Wu Liang showed contempt: "Why do you want to be so shameless?
In broad daylight, with everyone seeing it with their own eyes, you still want to tell lies and call a deer a horse?"
As soon as he finished speaking, suddenly, the shocked voice of the stone-extraction personnel came from the side: "Hey, what's going on?"
When everyone heard this, they turned around and were shocked.
Only the stone cutters were putting Chen Hao's jadeite into the cleaning pool and rinsing it with water pipes.
When the original yellow-green glass jadeite was washed with clean water, the yellow color inside disappeared quickly at a speed visible to the naked eye! Also disappearing were the flaws and impurities in the jadeite. The originally high transparency became even more crystal clear.
As clear as the clearest stream.
The green inside is also changing. Not only has it become extremely positive, but it has also become intense, uniform, and bright, and the green fluid seems to be about to drip out.
"Holy shit, this is imperial green! Imperial green!"
"Not only is it imperial green, but all defects and impurities have disappeared, and light can be transmitted from one side to the other without any hindrance. This is the highest level of transparency!"
"I'll take the color, water, seed, and bottom to the highest level... This is the best jade that's rare to see in a thousand years!"
"It was clearly a yellow-green glass species just now, how could there be such a change?"
"Yeah, how is this possible?"
...Everyone's eyes were about to pop out, and they exclaimed in unison.
Wu Liang and others were stunned and froze on the spot, speechless.
The stone removal personnel even took the water pipes and forgot to flush them.
For a moment, there was a strange silence around the seventh stone dissolving machine.
"Weathering and erosion! This is the legendary weathering and erosion!"
Suddenly, a shocked, excited and excited voice broke the silence.
Everyone turned around and saw an old man wearing a brown Tang suit with a long beard. He looked at Chen Hao's jadeite with shock on his face, and his eyes looked as excited as if he was witnessing history.
"Professor Pang, you are here too!"
"Nice to meet you."
"Professor Pang?
For what?”
"Are you ignorant?
Professor Pang's full name is Pang Jiahua. He is a professor of mineral resources at Lingnan University. He specializes in the study of jadeite. He has published many important papers and books, using scientific theories to systematically explain the formation process of jadeite. Many famous jadeites are
All stone experts are his fans and he is very influential in the stone gambling world."
"So awesome!"
Immediately, many people recognized the old man in brown Tang suit and said one after another.
"Hello everyone."
Pang Jiahua waved in response, but his fiery eyes never left Chen Hao's jadeite.
At this time, all the yellow in the jade has disappeared, and the bright and intense emerald is evenly distributed in the extremely clear jade flesh. Under the background of the sunlight and water droplets, it shines faintly and looks beautiful, like a piece of jewelry.
Ingenious art treasures.
Someone asked: "Professor Pang, what do you mean by weathering and erosion just now?"
Everyone also looked at Pang Jiahua curiously.
Pang Jiahua reluctantly withdrew his gaze and explained: "Weathering and erosion specifically means that the appearance and interior of an object will change under the physical or chemical effects of the outside world.
For example, iron will rust after being stored for a long time, wood will rot after being stored for a long time, food will deteriorate after being stored for a long time, and so on, it is a kind of weathering erosion."
The person who asked the question didn’t know why and said, “How does the weathering and erosion of jadeite happen?”
Pang Jiahua said: "We know that the reason why jadeite shows different colors is because it contains different chemical elements, that is, various ions.
For example, the green color is caused by chromium ions. The more chromium ions there are, the more positive and intense the green color will be. If there are more iron ions, the green color will change and become dark green, or yellow-green, bean green, melon skin green, etc.
.”
"The reason why Mr. Chen's jadeite appears yellow-green at first is because it contains a small amount of iron ions."
"This is a normal phenomenon, because minerals are very rich deep underground and changes in nature are random, so most jadeite will show a collection of multiple colors, and there are very few true pure-color jadeites."
"Originally, jadeite is a stone polycrystalline aggregate formed deep underground after a long period of high temperature and pressure. It is relatively stable. Even if it is dug out and exposed to the outside world, it will generally not be weathered or eroded."
"But there are exceptions to everything. When the jadeite meets certain harsh conditions, such as there are extremely small gaps on the surface that are invisible to the naked eye, or there is some kind of pressure inside the stone and other unknown factors, etc., after the jadeite is decomposed,
, the original conditions disappear, and when exposed to new conditions, weathering and erosion will occur, causing rapid changes."
"It's like the Terracotta Warriors.
The terracotta warriors and horses we see on TV and in pictures are all gray statues with no color.
But this is not the case. When the terracotta warriors and horses were first unearthed, they had extremely bright colors and lifelike colors. However, the colors quickly disappeared within a short period of time after they were unearthed.
We didn’t know it at the time and had no protective measures, so we could only watch this scene happen, which was very heartbreaking.”
