Back in the BMW, Zhang Wufeng took Suru and followed Sun Feifei's car. The past events of Zhang Zhengliang couldn't help but come to mind again.
Zhang Wufeng didn't want to think too much about Zhang Zhengliang, Zhang Zhengyou and others, but since lunch was scheduled at the Sideline Hotel this time, it didn't matter.
What can these people do if they play tricks? They won't be trampled to death by him at once.
For Zhang Zhengliang, in dreams and dreams, Zhang Wufeng may have taken it very seriously, and felt extremely angry, hateful, and even wanted to kill him.
At this moment, he took it too lightly, but he would still take revenge on the person who killed his father.
…
The Sideline Hotel is as luxurious and lively as usual.
Here, even if Sun Feifei comes, Zhang Zhengliang's people are nowhere to be seen, and the manager's attitude can only be said to be relatively good, which is very different from the best.
In the hotel, Zhang Wufeng met Sun Rongrong and Sun Weiwei.
During this meal, in addition to Lao Fang and Sun Feifei, Sun Weiwei was also present. Zhang Wufeng could only say that he was a little surprised.
"Zhang Wufeng, let me introduce you. This is Sun Rongrong, and this is Sun Weiwei. They are both my sisters."
"Yeah." Zhang Wufeng nodded. Seeing that the two people ignored him, Zhang Wufeng didn't say anything more to them.
In the eyes of the other party, he is an outsider.
"This is Suru, she is my current girlfriend. I believe you already know everything about me, there is no need for me to say more." Zhang Wufeng said with a smile.
Sun Feifei was stunned for a moment, then smiled.
"Hello Suru, my name is Sun Feifei."
"Hello, Sun Feifei. I'm Suru. Thank you so much this time."
"You're welcome, if it weren't for Zhang Wufeng who understood this, I wouldn't be able to make a big profit."
"No matter what, thank you very much."
"Suru, I understand that you once, um, had your face...where did you get it treated?"
"Wufeng treated me. He studied acupuncture for a long time because of me."
"Oh, that's it. I didn't expect him to be so good at stone gambling and so skilled in acupuncture." Sun Feifei said, with a bit of surprise flashing in her eyes.
"I don't know much, I'm only relatively proficient in antiques, calligraphy and painting, chess, calligraphy and painting, stone gambling and acupuncture."
Zhang Wufeng said casually, his words were relatively modest.
"Hey, you are really bragging about not drafting. Don't think that you know how to bet on stones when the bets are high. I am not convinced. How about you introduce some experience and let me try. I am very curious how you know how to bet on stones."
"Haha, if you want to understand Rongrong, it's not a problem." Zhang Wufeng said gently to her.
Sun Rongrong was stunned for a moment, feeling Zhang Wufeng's special gaze, and hesitated slightly. She wanted to curse a few words, but unexpectedly stopped.
"Haha, since Brother Wufeng is willing to show us a way to make money, we are naturally all ears. Come, let's talk while we eat."
"Okay, sit down, sit down..."
…
"When it comes to jade stones, the jade stones are actually the raw materials of jadeite.
Gambling stone or gambling goods means that when the jadeite is mined, it is wrapped in a layer of weathered skin. It is impossible to know the quality of the jadeite. The jadeite that needs to be cut is called gambling stone. The jadeite produced in the old factory has skin, but it is produced in the river bed.
The water stone jadeite is also the jade from the old factory, and the skin is very thin or no skin. Most jadeite from the new factory has no skin, but the jadeite produced in the slope layer has skin. The thickness or thinness of the skin mainly depends on the degree of weathering. The degree of weathering
The higher the skin, the thicker the skin. The skin of a piece of jadeite raw material is colored and the surface is very good. When you cut the first cut, you can see the green color, but the green color may disappear when you cut the second cut. This is also a common thing. When you leave the jadeite mine,
Only one in 10,000 bets (referring to color materials) will result in a bet on a rise, and the chance of a bet on a rise in the jade mine is much higher.
There are two types of raw jadeite: mountain material and young material.
The mountain material is mined directly from the jade mine. It has no skin, irregular shape, many edges and cracks, rough and loose structure, and not very good quality. It is not a gambling stone.
Aberdeen material is the gravel of jadeite. This is formed when jadeite rocks roll down hillsides after being weathered and broken, and are carried into ravines or creeks by floods or rivers. Among jadeite materials, the quality of jadeite and the thickness of the skin vary.
It is divided into three types: water boy, soil boy and water boy returned to sand. During the rolling transportation process, the edges and corners of the jadeite ore fragments are rounded, and the original cracked or loose parts are worn away or collapsed. At the same time, the surface is weathered into
A layer of outer skin of varying thicknesses, so that the jade fragments turn into approximately round or oval gravels wrapped by the outer skin. The gravels can be large or small, with large ones weighing thousands of tons, or even tens of thousands of tons, and small ones.
As big as a thumb...
The materials have a skin of different thicknesses, and the skin has different shades of color. This is because when the skin is formed by weathering and erosion on the earth's surface, the impurities contained inside each are different, and the external geological environment is different, so the color of the skin is
It is also diverse. The basic colors of jadeite skin are white, yellow, red, brown, brown, gray and black. Generally, the color is light, and the color boundary is not obvious, but it often appears as: light white, off-white, yellow-white,
Light yellow, earthy yellow, beige, dark yellow, yellow-red, etc.
Most of the jadeite raw material trading market is jadeite gravel, which is jadeite gravel. Since the surface of the gravel is blocked by a layer of weathered leather shell, the internal situation cannot be seen. People can only choose according to the characteristics of the leather shell and the "doors" opened locally.
Use your own experience to infer the quality of the jadeite inside the gambling stone. This makes it very difficult to identify the quality of the jadeite raw material in the jadeite raw material trade. Such a transaction is quite like gambling, so people will use skinned jadeite.
The raw material of jadeite is called gambling stone, gambling material or gambling goods, and this kind of business behavior is also called gambling stone. Since it is gambling, no one is sure of winning. Even experienced experts will inevitably make mistakes.
At that time, it was quite risky. However, the excitement of gambling, the mystery of gambling and the pleasure of gambling drove many people to engage in the stone gambling industry. Therefore, some people became rich overnight, and they could become millionaires from street gangsters in the blink of an eye.
;Some people can lose everything in an instant and turn from a millionaire to a pauper. This kind of thing is not uncommon.
…
Except for the shape, weight, and appearance of a piece of jade without windows, no one can tell what is inside. Only by cutting it open can we get a true conclusion. People who gamble on stones rely on their own experience and skin.
The performance on the shell is repeatedly guessed and judged. When more than two people put forward different opinions, a bet occurs. Cutting the stone is called "stone cutting" or "cutting stone" in the industry. After cutting, it appears
If the water is green, it is called "rising", and vice versa is "falling". Gambling on stones is a concrete manifestation of gambling on financial resources, wisdom, courage and personality.
As for the categories of stone gambling, in my opinion, there are only a few points.
First, bet on fog. The fog is a layer of membrane of varying thickness between the outer skin and the bottom seal. The fog should be thin and transparent. The main bets are white mist and yellow mist. If you bet on the mist, you will lose.
Second, the main type of gambling is betting on the market, because the stones in each market are different, and you may lose if you bet on the wrong market.
Third, the main bet in crack betting is whether the stone is cracked. If there are cracks, the bet will be lost.
Fourth, betting on the bottom means the bottom chapter, the term is called meat head, and the main bet is on the clarity and thickness of the bottom. If the bottom is thick, black, and messy, the bet will be lost.
Fifth, bet on the color of the jadeite flesh. If there is no color, you will lose. The main bet is on the true color of green. Green should be emerald, abundant, and alive.
As for the methods of gambling, there are three aspects.
The first is stone wiping. Stone wiping is an ancient rule, which is effective and safe. If the part is not found correctly, it will be cut in the next step. If you do it blindly, you will "unravel" the green and it is easy to lose the bet. The main reason for stone wiping is to look at the fog.
, base and color. Because you have the rub port, you can shine and look inside to judge the depth, width and shade of the green. The order of rub stones: first rub the green, second rub the dry, third rub the ringworm, fourth rub the loose flower. Rub.
The stone has only one purpose, which is to find the true green color.
The second is stone cutting. In the jargon of stone cutting, an increase is not considered an increase, only an increase is considered an increase. Stone cutting is the most critical step in stone gambling. The conclusion of losing or winning can only be determined after cutting the stone open. Some stone gambling businessmen only need to cut open the stone.
When the stone was rubbed and the price rose, he would sell it and let others gamble. Because if he continued to rub the stone or cut it with a knife, the risk would be greater. The price of rising and falling was only the slightest. It can be seen that cutting stones is no small matter. One kind is primitive.
The best cutting method is to use a bow saw to press the sand and slowly cut the stone. If it is found that the cutting cannot be continued, it is easier to take rescue measures. Another method is to use a jade cutting machine to cut the blade with an emery layer, which makes the cutting accurate and fast.
, but it is not easy to see the cutting process when the stone is soaked in oil or water with a jig. Only by cutting it completely can you know the outcome. When cutting the stone, the first step is to find the right part. Generally, the knife is cut from the scraping point or from the upper and lower sides.
The knife can also be cut through the pine flower or along the crack. When the first cut shows no color, you can also cut the second cut and the third cut. As the saying goes: One cut makes you poor, the other makes you rich. This is what it means.
The third is the grindstone. The purpose of the grindstone is for polishing, to fully express the transparency, so that people can see its color or water quality. There are two ways to gamble on the grindstone, one is secret gambling (Mengtou Gambling)
), the stone has no traces of scratches or natural fractures at all. The second is half-brightness, that is, if there are knocks, scratches, or small gaps on the stone, you can already see the color of part of the stone.
Or the bottom line, but there are other parts that are still unknown and have great potential for gambling.
…”
"What about the crystallization of the leather?" Sun Rongrong asked curiously.
"Generally speaking, the coarse leather material of jadeite gravel has large crystals, soft structure, low hardness, and poor transparency, making it a lower grade jadeite; the fine leather material has smaller crystals, tight structure, fine texture, high hardness, and good transparency. Among them,
Especially those with black or black-red luster are better. This kind of material is called "dog shit egg" in the jargon, and it is mostly the middle and top grade of jade. The properties of sand leather material are between the first two, and the quality varies greatly.
, but there is also some good stuff in it, so the 'gambling' aspect is the strongest.
To check the crystal size of leather, in addition to visual inspection, you can also use water to check. The method is to wet the jade gravel in water and take it out to check how quickly the water on the skin dries. If it dries quickly, it indicates that it is crystallized.
If it is thick, the structure is loose, or there are many cracks and pores, and the texture is poor. On the contrary, it means that the crystal is fine, the structure is dense, and the texture is good.
Another thing is to check the green color.
The amount of green and the quality of the color determine the quality and value of jadeite. Therefore, it is necessary to observe the signs of the green part of the gravel on the surface to infer the condition of the internal green. The amount of green is related to the quality of the green part.
The shape and distribution characteristics are related.
The green parts in jadeite are more valuable when they are concentrated in clusters and strips. When such green is exposed on the epidermis, it is often in the shape of clusters or lines, and sometimes in flakes. When the green appears in large shapes on the epidermis,
When the area appears in flakes, it is mostly green on the epidermis, and there is often no green inside. When green appears in lines or groups on the epidermis, especially when the green lines exposed on the epidermis are symmetrically distributed, the green will move toward the inside.
Extending, or even running through the entire piece of gravel. The value of the latter is naturally higher than that of the former. Therefore, there is a jargon saying, "Better to buy a line than a piece." The green color quality is related to the mineral composition that appears green. Generally speaking, the color of jadeite is
The color quality is better than the green color quality presented by diopside, henite and neonite. Jadeite has high hardness and strong weathering resistance. Therefore, most of them are relatively protruding on the outer skin, while other minerals are relatively concave.
The value of the former is higher than that of the latter, so there is a saying in jargon, "It is better to buy a drum than a barren". "Gu" means green appears in the bulging parts, and "barren" means green appears in the concave parts.
By.
The next step is to check for cracks. In addition to observing the skin and color, when evaluating jade raw materials, you should also pay attention to the development of cracks (commonly known as cracks). Of course, the fewer cracks, the better. In the jade raw material market, jade merchants
In order to show the texture and color of jadeite, a small part of the outer skin is often cut off and the cut is smoothed and polished. This cut is called "menzi" in the lingo. In order to make more money, jade dealers try their best to open the door.
Open in the place that can best display the texture and color of the stone. Therefore, when evaluating the door, you must carefully check the door and the surrounding situation, conduct a comprehensive comparison and analysis, and remember not to overestimate the green color displayed by the door.
Among them, you must be careful to guard against counterfeiting. Because jadeite has obvious unevenness, color and texture have great changes and differences, its authenticity and quality are difficult for ordinary people to grasp, and the quality and quality of jadeite are difficult to grasp.
There is a world of difference in their value, coupled with the strong 'gambling' nature of raw material trading, some unscrupulous businessmen often resort to any means to make fake jade raw materials in order to make huge profits. For example, if the texture and green color shown after cutting the door are
Not ideal, they would stick a piece of good jade inside the door to deceive buyers, etc.”
"Then Wu Feng, how can we distinguish between real and fake gambling stones?" Suru couldn't help but ask.
Zhang Wufeng picked up a piece of beef and brought it to Suru's mouth. Then he picked up the beer and took a sip. Then he smiled and said: "Many old pit species often have a layer of skin on the surface. Due to oxidation, the skin has turned brown-red or brown-black.
Or various other variegated colors. Generally, the true face of "Lushan" cannot be seen at a glance just from the appearance. Even with the advancement of science, today, there is no instrument that can quickly identify the "jewel" inside through this outer shell.
It is still 'bad'. Buyers of jade must judge the value of this piece of jade from the raw stone wrapped in a leather shell (sometimes a 'window' is also opened on the skin, which means that small pieces of the leather shell are wiped off to reveal the jade quality). This kind of jade
The process of buying and selling is the process of buyers and sellers comparing their opinions on a piece of skinned jade.
After Myanmar jade merchants gambled the stone, they generally did not dare to be present in person when it was actually cut and processed. Instead, they burned incense nearby and prayed for God's blessing. If the cut gemstone contains a lot of clear emerald green, it can become a gemstone overnight.
The rich man's business is called "gamble up"; if the gambling stone is actually a piece of gray sand with green outside and white inside, he will lose his fortune overnight, which is called "gamble down" in the jargon.
Since the Qing Dynasty, jadeite has become a high-end type of jade favored by Chinese people. It is also since the Qing Dynasty that various fake jadeite products, such as raw-colored, dyed, baked-colored jade, etc. that pretend to be good jade have begun to appear on the market.
Therefore, the phrase "There is no expert in jade" not only illustrates the complexity and variety of jade varieties, but also expresses the cleverness and variety of various counterfeiting techniques. In particular, the development of modern science has made some fakes look like real ones, even if they are fake.
Experts sometimes stumble upon their eyes.
When it comes to counterfeiting, the first is the counterfeiting of rough stones. Because the raw materials are often traded in gambling, which is exciting and risky, and the rough stones have skins, the methods of counterfeiting are often hidden and difficult to distinguish. They can be summarized as follows:
The first is to make leather! The texture of jadeite stones can often be seen through the leather window. Some criminals take advantage of this feature to grind some jadeite materials into sand powder, mix it with special 'glue', and glue it to some
Jade with a rough texture, or even jade that has been cut and proven to be a low-grade stone, is re-disguised as natural materials such as black black sand, yellow salt sand, etc., in order to make huge profits.
The second is dyeing and color injection. There are many methods of dyeing and color injection. One is to chemically treat the whole piece of raw material and dye it with green dye to turn the skin green to improve the grade of jade. Some stones are dyed
Afterwards, it was partially faded to cause the color to be uneven or not particularly good, but in fact this has also improved the grade a lot. The second is to strike diagonally in some jade that has a good water head but poor color.
Green dye is injected into the hole, then sealed, and a 'door' (window) is opened above, allowing buyers to see from the window that the interior of the jade is very green and has high potential value, thereby increasing the selling price.
The third is grafting. The first technique is to cut some high-grade jadeite materials, take out the essence, then fill them with inferior scraps, then re-glue them and graft them with fake skin. The second technique is to cut some inferior materials from the middle or any position.
Open it, put in or clamp a small piece of green jade or green glass, and then glue it back together. Plant the fake skin on it, and then open a window near it to create the illusion that the material has a high color.
The fourth is to pass off the fake as real. Use other low-grade jade such as Malay jade, Dushan jade, Qinghai jade and even marble for surface treatment, and then pass it off as super jade material.
The above-mentioned counterfeiting methods are just one or two, and there will be many changes in practice. The most important and effective way to avoid being deceived is to be careful and not act like an expert.
Of course, you still need to master some skills.
First of all, for any raw material with skin, you need to carefully examine the skin of the entire jade. If it is a natural stone skin, the color, crystallization, and structure will be different everywhere, even if it is a small difference, such as cracks, flaws, etc., it will definitely be different.
If the skin is extremely uniform, be careful.
You might as well tap the skin of the jade stone gently (with the permission of the seller). If it is real leather, it will generally fall off in the form of powder; if it is fake leather, it may fall off in the form of flakes.
When buying jade, you should not just look at the window. The window is generally the best part of the jade. In addition to the window, you must also look at the condition of the nearby skin and whether there is any bonding.
Secondly, carefully observe the color of the whole piece of jade. For natural gemstones, the green color of the whole piece is rarely the same. For the green in the window, you can carefully use light and observe it with a Chelsea filter. If the green turns red under the Chelsea filter, it is a color change and is bright.
Color material.
It would be best if you can also ask the seller to show the cut off window cover for comparison. However, it should be noted that due to increasingly sophisticated dyeing methods, materials that do not change red under the color filter do not necessarily mean that they are natural.
If the green on the surface of the jade is distributed like threads or claws, it is mostly a colored stone. Again, carefully observe the texture of the jade. If the jade is extremely fine and there is no stone flower or crystal flash (fly wing shape), then
Be careful if there are fakes such as Malay jade.
Let’s talk about counterfeiting, let’s talk about the choice of real jade.
If it is real jadeite, then how to judge its value? Since the formation conditions of jadeite are complex and diverse, different pits, jade skin and jade quality changes are different, so it can be said that there is no magic weapon to identify it.
It depends on experience and luck.
Some of my personal experiences: First, if a large piece of jade has a small window, it usually contains many cracks, so you need to be careful.
Second, for cracks and many defects, you should observe to see if they are connected. If they are connected, there must be cracks in them. A large piece of material can only be counted as two or several small pieces at most.
The third is to pay attention to some traditional jargon, which naturally makes sense. 'Better buy a line than a piece', which means that a line of green (visible on both sides of the stone) is often more green than a patchy and irregularly distributed green.
Potential, the reason is that if this line of green crosses both sides, it means there must be green inside. However, irregular patches of green do not necessarily indicate that there is green inside. It is possible that the green is only distributed near the surface and may disappear inside the stone.
Fourthly, the material with coarse leather is called "pine bark" and is generally rough on the inside. However, this kind of material at the entrance of some pits sometimes has high green color. This is the so-called "high green color in the shit field".
Tight-skinned materials are those with a more delicate structure, with normal water head and good ground tension. It is worth noting that experience often refers to general situations. It is not easy to achieve 'always on target'. Practice and observe carefully.
It is extremely important, especially since jade from certain factories often has its own characteristics. Trying to master these characteristics is crucial to whether you can buy good jade.
Also, in terms of technique, in my opinion, the skin is very important.
Jade shells almost all have colors, such as purple, black, white, dark green, etc., which are closely related to the interior, while red, brown, brown, etc. have no direct relationship with the interior. Because the shape and color of the jade are often similar
Some substances in nature are called sand shells with the same name. For example, if there are patches of rust color on the sand shell, people call it water turned sand.
The rough skin shell is called coarse skin stone, the fine sand shell is called fine skin stone, the sand like salt is called salt sand skin, and the green skin shell like a frog is called frog skin. As for the more common ones, I will talk about them appropriately.
Elephant skin looks like old elephant skin, light gray, wrinkled, and feels prickly when touched, which is a typical sign of weathering. The stone type of this skin is better, it is native sand shell, and it is often translucent after cutting.
The glass bottom is the best among leather cases.
Old bark, shaped like bark, yellowish brown, with brown wrinkles, rough to the eye, and prickly to the touch. After cutting, it is often seen on the white water bottom, mostly with positive color, and has strong gambling properties. This kind of bark is mostly produced in large areas
Makanchang District. Because there is a tree in Myanmar that the local people call Dena Kapi. The bark of the tree is very similar to this kind of bark, so people also call it Dena Kapi.
White sand has sand grains on the skin that look like salt. The stone is old and there is white fog under the skin. It is mainly produced at Manachangkou in Laochang District and individual farm entrances in Xinchang District. In addition, white salt sand has no fog under the skin.
, the thickness of the sand grains is not differentiated, and the feel is weak. It is common to see yellow sand after removing the white sand, which is an example of the symbiosis of secondary sand shells and primary sand shells. If there is green under the primary sand shell, it is mostly yang but not yin, and the green color is rich and vivid.
Yellow sand, the sand is like salt, is dark yellow, and the stone is old. It is mainly produced at Laochangkou. It is also produced at other Changkou. The most important difference is that the sand must be turned well and have a strong three-dimensional effect. After cutting
White water bottom is often seen, and the color is green and sunny, which is a good quality product. If the sand grains on the skin are chaotic and uneven, and there is no regular arrangement, such yellow sand skin has no fog layer and is mostly waxy bottom or bean bottom.
White gray skin, sand grains are wrapped by a layer of lime powder. If you brush off this layer of white powder, you will get white sand. This is a manifestation of surface weathering. It is mostly produced in old farm areas, and most of them have a glass bottom after cutting.
Sand shell, this is a double-layered sand shell, which is a typical species of symbiosis between primary sand shell and secondary sand shell. After one layer is peeled off, there is another layer, and the color is mostly one layer of white and the second layer of yellow or red.
The old stone type, the main site is in Dongguo. After cutting the yellow sand, it mostly has a white water bottom, with a bean color. After the red sand is cut, it mostly has a hammered bottom, which has a positive color, but is darker.
Black sandpipe: The color is gray and black, and the sand grains can be divided into three categories: coarse, medium and fine. The thicker ones are mostly coarse bean bottoms, and the thin ones are mostly fine bean bottoms. Only the medium ones have a waxy bottom, and some have a normal color after cutting.
Some are off-color, some have a strong white cat stool flavor, and some have an overly blue flavor. If it is the Ushapi produced in Pagan or Houjiangchang area, it has mostly fine bean base and is green and yellow in flavor; the glutinous ones from Mohan and Nanqichangkou
Most of them have a melted bottom, and the green color is bluish. The black sand from these four fields has wax shells, while the black black sand from other fields has wax shells rarely.
Rust skin: Rust skin is black and yellow. It can appear on sand shells of different colors. The strips vary in width, some are flakes, and some are lumpy. If the rust shell has moderate sand grains, it can be turned vigorously and neatly, and after cutting
Both the background and color are good. Don’t worry about the gray background, just colorlessness. Once there is color, the color will be green and watery.
Iron sand skin: Iron refers to tight sand, mostly earthy white, and after cutting, it has a fine bean bottom or a waxy bottom. This is a rare old species.
Water-turned sand: It is mostly an old stone type with black, yellow and gray colors, but the sand is generally not very good, because the site where this kind of water-turned sand is produced is relatively messy, and the bottom water is average. The main difference is that there are spots on the skin.
No rust. Representative ones are Pingpi water sand turning in Mamu Bay and Huika.
Red sand shell: the color is like bayberry red, also called bayberry sand. There are many places that produce this kind of sand shell, including Phangshangqiao, Xianggong, Damakan, Qionglao, Mana, Mogodi, etc., medium stone
species, often with oxblood mist, usually on the bottom of beans. If brown betel nut rust appears on the shell, the color is very bad.
Bacon skin: The skin is shaped like bacon, so it is called bacon skin. The skin can be thick or thin, and the seed bottom can be thick or thin. It is generally opaque. It is a medium jadeite and is produced in many places. Those with green color are rare.
Frog skin: Blue-gray in color, delicate and thin skin. A few frog skins have wax shells, which are easy to fall off when applied to sand-free places. Few have green color. It is mostly produced in Houjiang farm area.
Pineapple skin: Pear yellow in color, the skin is thin, and the color inside can be seen when lit. After cutting, it has a green and yellow flavor, which is bright and lively. It is the most representative block of Damakan.
Potato skin: The skin is earthy yellow and thin, mostly half mountain and half water stone. It is translucent after cutting and has a waxy bottom. It is produced in Damakan and Mobangwa Changkou.
Bamboo shoot leaf skin: The color is milky yellow and thin, with high transparency. It is a half-mountain and half-water stone. After cutting, it is green and warm. It is very distinctive on the white water bottom.
Frog skin: The skin is light green in color and has no fog layer. After cutting, water shortness is often seen.

"Then are there any blocks worth betting on?" Sun Feifei's beautiful eyes glowed with excitement as she looked at Zhang Wufeng and asked.
"The prerequisite for gambling is that the market is good, the sofa is good, and the performance is good, otherwise it is useless to gamble. It is better to buy and sell. Here I will introduce to you some gambling properties.
First, of course, we recommend Lao Pagan’s black sand stone: Pagan’s black sand is its representative stone type. The sofa is strong, the skin is as black as lacquer, the white chin is prominent, there are pine flowers on the chin, and there are tinea on the skin.
There is fog under the skin and the dead color is distinct. This is a true manifestation of high color content. If these conditions are met, there is hope for gambling.
Second, the bottom stone at the entrance of Houjiangchang: The bottom stone in the Houjiangchang area has a thin skin, a complete wax shell, and a lot of water at the bottom. Especially the garlic-skinned iron dragon, which is white and red. As long as the cracks are small, a
The bet will go up. If there is purple in the mix, don't bet, because the purple will dye the green, making it lose the rich and lively emerald green.
Third, the thin-skinned water stone from Mamu Bay: the skin is as thin as paper, the skin is waxy yellow, and the skin is thin and the flesh is thin. You can see the bottom clearly without strong light. Although there are tiny cracks, you only need to look at the green color from the bottom to distinguish the old species.
, the color is stable and bright, you will win if you bet.
There is also the semi-mountain and semi-water stone from Damakan: this kind of stone has yellow shell, yellow mist and thin skin, which makes it highly gambleable. If you have thick skin and black mist, you should not gamble. The stone will have a gray base and short water, and the green color is often bluish.
There is no rebound force. Although the water and stone parts can see color, they do not enter the inside. The food part is loose and flowery, and the colors are generally not connected.
…
At this point, we have to talk about the market area and market entrance of Myanmar jade.
Myanmar jade is produced in the northeastern part of the country, which is adjacent to Yunnan Province in China. The mining area runs through the Ulu River Basin and is sandwiched between Gaoligong Mountain and Bagai Beng Mountain. It is 70 kilometers long from north to south and 20 kilometers wide from east to west, covering an area of 1,400 square meters.
kilometers. The mineral processing center is in Longkeng. It is 136 kilometers away from Myitkyina, 360 kilometers away from Tengchong in China, and 1,200 kilometers away from Chiang Mai in Thailand. There are three major mining camps, the old field area, the Houjiang field area, and the small field area.
The climate in the mining area is hot, with an average annual rainfall of about 4,000 millimeters. Spring and summer are the times with the most rainfall, making it inconvenient to work. Therefore, mining and on-site transactions are carried out in autumn and winter. After the Mid-Autumn Festival, people from all walks of life flock to the camp.
There are more than 200,000 jade diggers, jade dealers, treasure hunters and various businessmen at the time, making the scene chaotic. Since the 1960s, this situation has become more and more intense and has not declined for a long time.
The mining of jadeite in Myanmar has at least two decades of history. It has had its ups and downs, but it is still in the ascendant. With the large-scale export of jadeite, the field area is expanding and the number of field openings is increasing. Now the scope of the mining area has expanded to the east
Heping stretches to the redwood forest in the west and is about 240 kilometers long; from Wenduo in the south to Laban in the north, it is about 170 kilometers wide. There are more than 100 potholes in the three major areas, shaped like stars, and are well-known.
There are no less than 70 of them.
The old field area, this field area includes the Pagan field area, Damakan field area, and the new field area, which are connected together due to Didan. It is located in the upper, middle and lower reaches of the Ulu River. It was discovered and mined earliest and has the largest scope.
It has the largest population and is the main source of jade in Myanmar.
Pagan Field Area, this area is an alluvial or residual-slope deposit, located in the middle reaches of the Ulu River. Mining began in the first century AD. The deepest hole currently excavated has reached the fifth layer and is about 30 meters deep.
The blocks produced in the first layer are almost all yellow sand-skin shells, the second layer is mostly red sand-skin shells with wax skin, the third layer is black sand-skin shells, the fourth layer is gray-black leather shells, and the third layer is mostly gray-black sand-skin shells.
The five layers are white and yellow skin shells, most of which have wax skin. There are obvious differences between the blocks of the field. The distinction is not easy. Only by understanding the field and remembering their respective characteristics can you become perfect and make accurate judgments.
The main venues in this area are: Lao Pagan, Ma Muwan, Huika, Shuoshangqiao, Dagudi, Chitongka, Grammo, Mengmao, Dongguo, Mana, Jiebengqiong, Molaogeng,
Wu, Laozhai Shed, Choba, Sancha River, don't dare...
Damakan field area, this field area is located in the lower reaches of the Wulu River and the west of Laochang area. It belongs to alluvial deposits. The mining time is about 200 years later than that of Pagan field area. Represented by Damakan field entrance, the famous field entrance is near
20, the excavation depth has reached the fifth level, and most of them are Guanshan half-water stone. The famous entrances are: Damakan, Huangba, Mogdie, Quebing, Molong Base, Dashanka, Nansili, Nansili
Se Bing, Xidabie, Yue Yinggong, Na Yadong, Mei Linqiang, Ku Ma, Dan Xiu.
Xinchang District is located in the upper reaches of the Wulu River and in the east of Laochang District. It was mined earlier. It is a supergene mine. You can get jadeite blocks without digging deeply, but most of them have no skin shells and are primary deposits. People
It is customary to call the blocks here Xinchang stones, hence the name Xinchang area. There are many pits in the Xinchang area, but they are used for the shortest time and are easily abandoned. The more stable pits are: Big Mobian and Xiaomobian
Houjiangchang District, Houjiang is a tributary on the north side of the Wulu River, named Kangdi River. The jadeite mining area is distributed along the river, so it is called Houjiangchang District. It is also an alluvial deposit, and the mining time is relatively late.
The area was established in the early 16th century. It includes two fields, Houjiang and Namo. Although the two places are not far apart, the jadeite blocks produced are very different. The blocks produced in Houjiang area are generally around 300
It is about 3 grams, has many varieties, is of good quality, has a thin upper shell, and has excellent humor. The current excavation depth has exceeded the sixth layer, which is about 30 meters deep. The third and fourth layers have partitions, and the first two layers are connected with the old ones.
The situation in the field area is similar. The block shells on the sixth layer are almost all yellow wax shells. The layers after the sixth layer are relatively thick, and the current ore yield rate is low. The main field entrances are: Molong, Bisidu, Ge
Mu Lin, Padoman, Hong Kong Mo, Mo Tung Kwok, Mo Di, Jiaying, Bu Ge Duo, Ge Qing Mo.
Namo field area, Namo is Burmese, meaning thunder. This field area is also called thunder field area, and the blocks produced are called thunder stones. This field area is located in the upper reaches of the Kangdi River, and is often seen as a table.
Raw ore has inferior blocks, many cracks, poor dry hardness of the bottom water, and loose texture. Most of them cannot be cut and made. Although there are green stones, most of them are variant stones and their value is very low. The reasons for the variations of thunderstone need to be further studied from the origin.
to explore whether there can be any changes in the middle and lower layers, hoping to find authentic jadeite. In recent years, people have gradually gained new views on this site. In early 1992, a high-quality jadeite as huge as a house was discovered in this site.
The block, like a miracle, caused a sensation. Currently, the only representative ones are: Namo, Qinlan Gang, and Menglan Gang.
Small field area, this field area is located in the south of Wulu River, covering an area of about 45 square kilometers, three times larger than Houjiang field area. Because there are not many field entrances, people call it small field area. This is a primary mineral deposit.
Many high-quality jadeite has been produced in the past, and it is an indispensable part of the entire Myanmar jadeite mining area. The deepest entrance in this field has reached the fourth layer, with mostly black blocks with wax shells. The most famous entrance
"Are you studying geography? Or archaeology? Are these so clear?" Sun Weiwei asked in shock.
At this time, everyone including Sun Rongrong had to admire Zhang Wufeng's knowledgeable and strong memory.
"He is an expert from Zhang Da," Sun Rongrong said with a smile.
Zhang Wufeng smiled when he heard this and did not explain much, because he himself has a strong memory, and the world of dreams within dreams has captured the memories of many experts, and he has also specialized in the entire archeology, so for these, it is really
It's a piece of cake. It's just fun to talk about, but I'm not trying to show off my knowledge.
He pondered for a moment, and then said in a magnetic voice: "A long time ago, the Burmese people could not dig out large pieces of jade from the soil, so they often burned the pieces with firewood and poured cold water on them to explode them.
Then pick up the green fragments. Because cutting is time-consuming and laborious, this method is also commonly used to break large pieces dug out of the ground. Myanmar is an agricultural country, with very few advanced excavation machinery. Today’s mining, except for a few potholes,
In addition to using hydraulic drills, most of them still follow the ancient manual excavation. They do not conduct surveys, but rely solely on experience and luck. They are not sure whether they can dig better varieties. They are superstitious that jade has aura, and as long as they have good luck, it will
You can dig out good jadeite. Even though it is very difficult, people still stay the same year after year.
The mining time in Myanmar's mining areas ranges from September of the lunar calendar every year to April of the following year. The rest of the year is the rainy season, when holes accumulate water and the climate is hot, making life and excavation very difficult. Every dry season, groups of jade workers spontaneously
Go up the mountain to look for the boss, select the entrance, use a pickaxe and crowbar, and dig deep into the ground like a well. If you find stones, small ones will be brought to the ground for identification. Large ones will be washed away with water, and the soil will be carefully judged whether it is jade or not.
Then use all your strength to lift it up to the ground. If it is not good or is not jade, avoid the stone and continue digging deeper. People call this method "digging a hole".
Another method is called "opening a pond". The jade digger does not dig vertically, but digs horizontally and shallowly to create a hole the size of a fish pond. While digging, he looks for stones. This method is often used in new areas.
The third method is the "seedling flushing method". The jade digger thinks that the soil layer on the ground is thin, so he uses a pump to divert water to flush out the seedlings. If there are exposed stones, he digs them out immediately. This method is often used in Namochang area.
The fourth method is the "salvage method". When digging for jade, you put a ventilation hose on your mouth, wear goggles and waterproof goggles, dive into rivers and ponds to identify the gravel and jade, and then fish it up to the ground, distinguish the quality from the bad, and decide to discard it. This kind of
This method is still used today along the Irrawaddy River.
