"Today's young people..." The stone analyzer shook his head and said helplessly: "Okay, whatever you want."
Grinding stones does take longer than slicing.
After about five minutes, it still didn't turn green.
At this time, the master in charge of dissecting the stone stopped working and said to Li Mu:
"How about I give you a free knife? I'll cut it directly along this cleft. Do you think so?"
He seemed to mean to make Li Mu give up.
But Li Mu refused and said with a smile:
"Grind it a little more and see."
The stone cutter cannot refuse the customer's request.
Just a minute later, the stone analyzer's expression changed and he quickly lowered his head and flushed it with a water pipe.
Then, he took out a strong flashlight, looked at it carefully, and suddenly shouted with wide eyes:
"Oh my God, the ice type!"
Ice jade refers to a kind of jade whose flesh quality is second only to that of glass jade. Its flesh characteristics, transparency and appearance are close to those of ice cubes in the refrigerator, and it is a translucent jade.
Upon hearing the word "Bing Zhong", the onlookers who were not interested immediately gathered around.
Under the illumination of a strong flashlight, the flesh of Li Mu's stone appears translucent with an icy texture.
It gives people the feeling of ice and jade, three points warm and seven points cold, the appearance is like ice and water, refreshing and comfortable, the ice is deep in the heart, and there is also a hint of hazy and implicit beauty.
Next to him, a stone buyer who was closest to the stone cutter only took one look at it and said immediately, "
"Little brother, I'll pay you 60,000 yuan for this piece of stone. What do you think?"
His voice was not loud, but he immediately attracted the attention of many onlookers around him.
Seeing that Li Mu turned a deaf ear, he continued:
"There is a big crack in your material. There may be a lot of floc and impurities in it. It's not less than 60,000 yuan. Think about it. If you cut it along the crack, it might not be worth the money."
Seeing that the stone in Li Mu's hand actually produced ice seeds, his father quickly advised:
"Boy, take it as soon as you see fit. Sixty thousand is a lot."
Li Mu looked at his father and said with a smile:
"How can that be done? Even 60,000 yuan can't be compared to a hundred times the price. It's equivalent to me losing. Let's just play with the big one."
After saying that, Li Mu looked at the stone analyzer and said with a smile:
"Master, didn't you just say you would give me a knife? Cut it along the crack and see?"
After hearing Li Mu's request, the stone analyzer who opened the ice seed said with a smile:
"Little brother, no problem."
As the water saw started to open, he cut very carefully this time.
The saw was turning rapidly, and more and more people came after hearing the news.
When the stone was cut in half, a knowledgeable onlooker nearby couldn't help shouting:
"Gao Bingzhong, this is Gao Bingzhong!"
The stone dealer who had just offered a price of 60,000 yuan suddenly turned black. He had already seen that the stone was interesting, but he didn't expect that the one he bought was of the high-ice variety!
"Seed" is one of the keys to measure the quality of jadeite.
It refers to the thickness and transparency of the jade texture. The top grade is old, the second grade is new, and the old kind has a better color after processing.
The color of jade should be checked under good conditions. This is what is said in the jargon: "laymen look at the color, experts look at the seed."
Although it was cut along the crack, there were very few impurities inside. When a strong flashlight was shined on the window opening, a few strands of blue floating flowers appeared inside.
It is said that ice seeds are hard to find, and floating flowers are even more difficult to find.
Li Mu’s material can be called a floating flower ice species with excellent water and color!
Seeing that the material was of such high quality, the stone dealer who had bid before made another offer and said:
"Little brother, I'm interested in this material. The fixed price is 250,000. We can trade it now."
The spectator next to him who was the first to call out the word Gao Bingzhong then said:
"Sell it to me. I really like this piece of material. You can take it for 350,000 yuan."
"Brother, let me tell you, if you make a pendant out of this material, you can only sell it for hundreds of thousands. If you take it out and make bracelets, you can only make a pair of them."
"Take this money, and we will treat it as friends."
Hearing the words of this elegant middle-aged onlooker, Mr. Li on the side was stunned.
He never expected that the stone Li Mu picked randomly could produce such top-notch jade.
It is a very rare thing to have such a large floating flower and high ice species cut out of ordinary stone.
Li Mu was unmoved. He held half of the material in his hand and said with a smile:
"I'm sorry, I don't want to sell."
He rejected these people’s ‘good intentions’.
The second boss's bid is actually not low, but it is for ordinary high-level ice types.
Although the large cracks and a few impurities in the middle of this material affect the price of this piece of material.
But judging by Li Mu's eyesight, the good part inside is definitely the floating flower ice species with beautiful water and color.
Moreover, if you make bracelets, you can at least make a pair, not counting the materials taken out in the middle to make pendants and jade plaques.
"Master, keep grinding and use it at full speed."
After hearing Li Mu's words, the energetic stone interpreter quickly said:
"Okay, I'll give it to you right now."
As the news about the floating flower ice seeds blooming here spread, some stone dealers who had picked up leaks in the Beimang strange stone market came here after hearing the news.
There are also some jewelry company staff who have begun to contact their bosses.
As time passed, Li Mu and his father were surrounded by jade lovers.
Everyone wanted to see if the scrap material Li Mu picked could be used to make a bracelet.
The material is almost polished, and as the stone skin is removed bit by bit, the complete picture of the entire ice seed is gradually revealed.
Even without the illumination of a strong flashlight, the crowd kept erupting in exclamations of surprise.
There are almost no stone flowers, and the green nature is even more pitiful.
As for the cracks and black spots, none of them can be seen after cutting.
Soon, a man in a suit with a crew cut came running over after hearing the news. After seeing the stone analyzer shine a spotlight on it.
He pulled Li Mu's sleeve and said breathlessly:
"Brother, make a friend and I'll give you 800,000 yuan! Without the engraving skills, our Dafu Jewelry won't make much money!"
Li Mu took the business card from the other party, saw the word "Director" written on it, and said with a smile:
"You are such a big boss, why do you come to collect the materials in person?"
Zhou Futai said with a smile:
"Where is it? I came to the stone quarry to have tea with the boss. I was passing by... passing by..."
At this time, a kind-looking old man smiled and said:
"Young man, don't let Lao Zhou fool you. This guy looks honest and honest. Your material is indeed worth 800,000, half a piece!"
Zhou Futai's expression changed and he shouted with a bitter look:
"Mr. Wei, you are so unkind! You doubled the price with just one mouthful."
The white-haired old man called Mr. Wei stared and said:
"After answering the phone call, I ran here in a hurry and knocked over a pot of good cooked Pu'er! This stone was produced here, so I'll give my little brother a price of 1.65 million!"
"Not only that, I will give you ten more quotas in the stone area. As long as the material is less than 50,000 yuan, you can take it away."
Li Mu looked at Father Li with a smile, finally nodded with satisfaction and said:
