Chapter 585 Appreciating the Rough Stone
Bai Ning and the others came to a small two-story western-style building. There are many similar buildings here. It may be because there are many people living here, but there is not much open space available. Most of the places in this mining area are second-floor buildings. The floor kind.
"It's here, please come in!" After finishing speaking, the young assistant stepped forward and knocked on the door, and after getting a response from inside, he signaled to Bai Ning and the others that they could enter.
After Bai Ning entered the room, he saw several stones placed on the floor of the living room. Some of the stones were all stone-colored, and some of the stones could faintly reveal a trace of jade-colored.
This should be the rough stone in the mouth of Hadijiang.
When Bai Ning got closer, he looked at those few stones.
Zhou Ruhai smiled at Bai Ning and said, "Come on! Have a look! How about these pieces of material?"
"Yes, young people, let's take a look, how about these pieces of material?" Ha Dijiang also said to Bai Ning with a smile.
Looking at their expressions, Bai Ning knew that these pieces of materials should be good materials.
It's just that they can see that these are good materials, so why should they show them to themselves?
"This should be a test for myself!" Bai Ning said in his heart.
While looking at these pieces of material, Bai Ning thought for a while, then smiled and said to the two people: "You two big brothers, I really don't see much of this Hetian jade. Buy wool, usually mostly jadeite, so I have some experience in jadeite, but this is the first time I have seen and appreciated the rough Hetian jade. If I really let me say it, I am afraid I can only talk on paper!"
After Bai Ning said this, he was still a little embarrassed. Although he knew some knowledge of Hetian jade appreciation and had seen some finished products made of Hetian jade before, this was the first time he had seen wool. He was also afraid that he couldn't speak well, so he explained everything to the other party first, so that he would not be in trouble if he revealed his secrets.
"It's okay, it's okay, whoever is born can understand all the knowledge of jade in the world, try to talk about it, say what you know, don't blame those who don't know!" Mr. Zhou waved his hand and signaled Bai Ning to go ahead and say it. Don't be afraid.
But this was also something he had discussed with Ha Dijiang. If he wanted to test Bai Ning, it would not be so easy to become the partner of King Hetian at a young age!
"Yeah, let's talk about it. It's true that there are not many Hetian jades in the mainland, especially in the north, where jadeite jade is more common. Our nephrite jade is generally only available in the south or abroad." Ah Tejiang said. There is also some melancholy here.
He is telling the truth. He has been shopping for Hetian jade for so many years, but the market in the north has never been opened, and it is not because of him. It may simply be that the northerners have a tougher personality and prefer jadeite. type of jadeite, and southern women are more gentle and intellectual, so they may prefer nephrite such as Hetian jade and mutton jade.
Bai Ning also knew about this situation!
There is nothing wrong with this thing, but it is caused by reasons such as geography and customs, just like the fact that down jackets bought in the south are not as good as those in the north.
"Hehe, then I'll make a bold show and take a look at these rough stones." Bai Ning said to the two people.
"But it's okay to say!" Ha Dijiang said briskly.
Bai Ning got permission from several people, so he went forward and carefully observed the woolen materials.
This is the first time for Bai Ning to observe the wool of Hetian jade at close range. He has always looked at the wool of jade before, whether it is bright or dark. , is also a good learning opportunity for Bai Ning.
The wool that can be seen by Hotan, and it is also displayed, which obviously has goods in it. As for what goods are available, Bai Ning can't say.
While observing the wool, Bai Ning searched for knowledge about Hetian jade in his mind.
It is said that to look at jadeite, you have to look at the outer skin. The rough jadeite is jadeite. This jadeite is hard both from the jade inside and the outer skin. Therefore, if you want to know what is inside the jadeite, you must use a cutting machine. , drilling machine, grinding wheel grinding to know what is inside.
Since even the most advanced X-ray machine in the world can't find out what is inside the rough jadeite and whether there is any jade material, so if you want to know what's inside the rough jadeite, you have to cut it out. , so there is gambling stone.
Jadeite is different from Hetian jade. Without exception, all jadeites have outer skins. People generally judge by the outer skin of this jadeite.
People can guess according to the performance of the jadeite skin whether there is jadeite inside, how much jadeite there is, whether the jadeite is good or not, and the distribution of jadeite in the rough stone, where there is jadeite and where there is no jadeite, these are all very important.
Therefore, experts generally judge the jadeite inside according to the outer skin of the original stone.
In fact, there is no original clear material, that is to say, after the material is produced from the mine, it is all dark material. The clear material is the window opened by the masters of the factory later, and the price is used to increase the price according to the performance of opening the window.
Of course, when opening the window, there are also differences between opening it well and opening it badly.
What is placed in front of Bai Ning now is the wool of Hetian jade, which is very different from that of jadeite.
Hetian jade is the representative of nephrite jade. There are not many types of nephrite jade in the world, the most famous of which is our Hetian jade.
This nephrite is reflected in not only the softness of his jade, but also the soft skin, so unlike jadeite, the surface of this Hetian jade does not necessarily have a skin, some Hetian jade has a skin, and they The outer skin of the jade is also very easy to peel off, and a part of Hetian jade is directly exposed outside. Without the outer skin, it is the jade meat inside, which can be easily found by people.
At the beginning, many jade pickers were able to pick up a lot of Hetian jade on the mountain or on the shore without digging and bending over. Under the mining, it is almost impossible to find it now, and most of them still rely on jade mining.
Also, the difference between Hetian jade and jadeite is that the origin of jadeite generally comes from Myanmar, and our current jade materials generally need to be imported, so when we encountered this raw material crisis, we were at a loss in an instant. Cut it off and we're completely blinded.
