Mu Tianlan had been to Star City several times, and her uncle had a few friends here who were interested in playing with strange stones, so Mu Tianlan thought about cutting up Wang Ding's stone and taking a look.
Mu Tianlan's thoughts are not so alone. On the one hand, she can help Wang Ding to see the value of the stone by cutting the Tianhuang stone. On the other hand, she can go to Taobao based on the value, because she and Wang Ding have a competition.
You must never give up easily.
"Are you going or not?"
Seeing Mu Tianlan's enthusiasm, Wang Ding couldn't refuse. "Okay, if you know the place where the stone is cut, why not cut this Tianhuang stone into pieces. I also want to see what grade of Tianhuang stone it is.
Woolen cloth."
As Wang Ding said, Tianhuang stone is actually similar to raw jadeite, that is, they both have a layer of stone skin, but the skin of Tianhuangstone is much thinner than that of raw jadeite, which is basically invisible to the naked eye.
, in the former, you can slightly see that some of the stone skin is so thin that it has almost receded. However, if you don’t cut the stone, you can’t see at all whether the Tianhuang stone is the same on the outside? Or will the stone inside be more stunning?
After agreeing to unravel the stone, Mu Tianlan took Wang Ding and walked to the west of the street. After walking in the bottomless clear water pond for about ten minutes, Mu Tianlan led Wang Ding to an antique shop.
inside.
This shop is called Stone Carving Hall, and it is a shop that specializes in breaking down stones and making carvings. Although it is almost early in the morning, the shop is still very busy.
Many customers who bought stones from the stall asked for the stone to be analyzed in the store, while young men who looked like apprentices looked at the stones and commented on them.
Mu Tianlan explained to Wang Ding coldly, "The customers you see now give the stones they bought today to the masters of the Stone Carving Hall, and then carve them. But the Stone Carving Hall does not accept every order.
Because the cost of carving is not cheap, if the stone carver sees that the stone does not have that price, he will not accept the order at all, so won’t the lady leave disappointed?"
Mu Tianlan pointed at a woman casually. Wang Ding looked over and saw a woman holding a stone as red as chicken blood and sighing as she walked out.
Looking through the stone again, its color is as red as chicken blood, but the layer of grout on the surface reveals that its original color is gray.
"I understand, so only good stones can be selected by the masters of the Stone Carving Hall to interpret stone carvings. This is not bad. If they want to interpret my stone, in a certain sense, it means that this stone is still valuable.
.But there are so many people now, it seems we have to wait for a while."
"No need to wait!" Mu Tianlan shook her head, then motioned to Wang Ding to follow her, and walked to the counter to talk to the shopkeeper sitting in the hall.
Sitting in the store was a man in his fifties. This man looked like a collector. He wore thick glasses. He had a well-proportioned figure and slightly white hair.
"Uncle Zhou, I, Xiao Mu, I'm here to see you again."
"Oh?" Zhou Shiyang raised his head slightly at this moment, saw the handsome Mu Tianlan, and smiled. "Xiao Mu is here. Why don't you tell Uncle Zhou in advance so that I can pick you up."
"It's okay, the driver brought me here. Uncle Zhou, I have something to trouble you with when I come here this time." Mu Tianlan said, giving up a seat, and Wang Ding hurried forward half a step forward.
"This is my friend, his name is Wang Ding. Today in Qingshuitang, he took out a Tianhuang stone, but we don't know how much the Tianhuang stone is worth, so we want to ask Uncle Zhou to help us figure it out?"
"Is that so? It's actually very rare to find stones like Tianhuang Stone in Qingshui Pond. If little brother really finds Tianhuang Stone, it won't be easy. Please take it out first and let me take a look."
Zhou Shiyang has been in the Stone Carving Hall for so many years, and countless people have said that they have bought Tianhuang stones, but as everyone knows, as Tianhuang stones become more and more scarce, many people cannot buy Tianhuang stones. What's more, more and more people are buying Tianhuang stones on the market.
Imitation of Qitian Huangshi.
Zhou Shiyang couldn't help but feel that it was very possible that this young man in his twenties had bought such a stone like others.
The Tianhuang Stone held by Wang Ding was packed in a bag. He told Mr. Zhou that he wanted to see it, so Wang Ding took the Tianhuang Stone out of the bag and presented it end-to-end in front of Zhou Shiyang.
This stone is as big as a fist, and its surface is covered with black leather, but there is obviously yellow embedded in the black, making it a black-yellow color.
Tianhuang stone is undoubtedly based on yellow. Although Tianhuang stone has appeared in white, red, and black, it is still white, red, or black. It must still be based on yellow.
Zhou Shiyang had his eye on the Tianhuang stone. Before he touched it, he could feel that the surface was still exquisite. Under the light, Zhou Shiyang found that there were detailed and dense radish silk patterns in the Tianhuang stone. These patterns were not chaotic.
This is also one of the most important elements of appreciation of Tian Huangshi.
The radish pattern of Tianhuang stone is one of the factors to consider the authenticity of Tianhuang stone, but Zhou Shiyang knows better that the radish pattern of good Tianhuang stone is not only dense and thin, but more importantly, it is orderly and not chaotic.
Then Zhou Shiyang touched the Tianhuang stone and felt the warmth and smoothness of the stone. Could it be that this is really a good Tianhuang stone?
‘This is indeed Tian Huang Stone.”
Zhou Shiyang finally confirmed after a long time, "In addition to looking at the quality, color, shape and skin of the Tianhuang stone, the texture is also very important. You see, in the exposed yellow part of the Tianhuang stone, we can vaguely see the delicate and dense radish patterns inside.
, and there are red veins appearing on this stone. These are all formed after Tianhuang stone separated from its parent Shoushan stone.
It was formed during the process of rolling down the mountain stream. In fact, this was originally a small crack, but due to the long-term oxidation behind it, a grid pattern was formed. A good Tianhuang stone must have a fine, dense, and smooth grid pattern, and the color must not be different.
If it is too deep, it will destroy the purity of the entire stone, and the red veins must not be too much. The best condition is to have few traces of blood."
Listening to Zhou Shiyang's tasting, Wang Ding now knew how to judge the quality of Tian Huangshi. He couldn't help but sigh that there was still a gap between himself and Mr. Zhou in identifying Tian Huangshi.
Zhou Shiyang's voice was not loud, but in this stone carving hall, several pairs of eyes were still looking at him like hawks.
Several men who looked like businessmen quietly came over and said to themselves, "Tian Huang Stone, that is an extinct thing from Qingshui Pond. Did this guy really find a priceless Tian Huang Stone?"
