Taoyuan Little Miracle Doctor

Chapter 1685
In the jade industry, the water was not very deep in ancient times.

Basically, most of what you can see on the market are genuine.

It's just a matter of identifying where the jade comes from, and then determining its value based on grade and texture.

But in today's era of material flows, the water in this industry is deep enough to drown countless people.

Because some businesses, in order to make money and seek greater benefits, no longer only sell genuine products, but also mix in more fake products.

There are two types of fake jade.

One is to deceive others by packaging it as jade with other substances.

This substance may be some jade-colored stones, or artificially processed and synthesized stones and pigments.

The other type is the defective products in the jade mine, or the leftover materials that are processed and synthesized to produce real jade with excellent quality, color and texture.

For those who are not knowledgeable, it is easy to buy the above two kinds of fakes.

If the second type is slightly better, at least it has something to do with real jade, but if you buy the second type, you will really be taken for granted.

Apart from these, the market for real jade is also very deep.

Because jade has different origins and different qualities, the value it can bring is still very different.

And even jade from the same origin has great differences.

For example, in a new jade mine, the jade wool mined from the outer layer will definitely be defective.And if you dig deeper, it will get better and better.

Insiders often say that when buying jade, you have to buy it from Laokeng.

Laokeng refers to the jade pit that has been mined indefinitely, and 'seed' refers to the source of the jade in the pit.

If you really buy an old piece of jade, there is a high chance that you can get chalcedony.

Of course, these are just things on the surface of jade.

There are some ways to distinguish the authenticity of jade through the surface.

Lin Sen and Wang Chen once said the two simplest methods.

One is the dripping method.

To put it simply, if a drop of water is dropped on the surface of jade, and the water droplets do not scatter on the surface of the jade, and still appear crystal clear, it is a real jade. On the contrary, if the water droplets fall on the jade and scatter, it is not real.

The second is the touch method.

Real jade is cold, delicate and smooth. When you touch and rub it gently, it will feel bright between your fingers, giving you a feeling of mutton fat. Fake jade will also be cold, but not as cold as real jade. Cool, and more importantly, when gently touched and rubbed, the surface of the fake jade will have a gritty feel, which means it is not so smooth and delicate.

Now, Wang Chen used these two methods and began to distinguish the jade in front of him.

There are probably dozens of pieces of jade on this shelf. Some of them are natural jade that has not been processed. They should have been brought here directly after being mined.

As for most of them, they are old objects of different shapes.

The color, texture, and feel of ordinary jade will vary depending on the quality of the jade. In addition to these, the texture and touch of antique jade or jade pendants will also change with age. The feeling has been improved by several levels.

For example, even if a jade pendant worn by a princess in ancient times is not touched often, it will mostly come into contact with the skin, because body sweat or skin friction will make the jade pendant smoother.

As for the color, it becomes more textured in most cases.The jargon is getting meatier.

But these are based on the premise that the jade pendant has not been specially packaged.

If some jade pendants were decorated with metal accessories around them in ancient times, the color would be different.

In ancient times, especially during the Ming and Qing Dynasties, many nobles liked to inlay gold characters around jade, which is often called gold inlaid jade.

Generally speaking, gold does not rust and is difficult to fade.

However, with the baptism of time, or changes in factors such as the temperature and humidity of the environment buried underground, the originally crystal clear jade will also be stained with some colors.

This is called Qinse in the industry.

For example, the golden color of gold will penetrate into the core of jade through the extremely difficult-to-see suction holes on the surface of the jade, and mix with the original color of the jade, resulting in a color similar to morning glow red or earth yellow.

In antique jade, the color can also be faked.

But after all, the devil is as high as the Taoism.Many people have also worked out how to distinguish true and false colors.

To put it simply, the luster of real jade with a clear color will appear more three-dimensional, just like the morning glow. The clouds are not one-sided, but appear fuller under the reflection of the setting sun.

As for fake jade, after the color is artificially injected, the color on it will be uneven whether viewed from the front or the side, just like a piece of colored paper sandwiched between the jade.

After thinking of these, Wang Chen also began to sift through the dozens of ancient jade in front of him.

About ten minutes later, he smiled and said: "Brother Jiu, you are right about what you said before. There are indeed not many fakes in this kind of store. Simply speaking from this shelf, there are nearly a hundred fast jade stones, and there are only seven fake ones. There are only a dozen or so fake ancient jades."

When Wang Chen was observing just now, Gui Jiu's eyes were always looking at him.

At the moment, what Wang Chen said was almost consistent with what he saw.

Gui Jiu smiled and asked: "Of the remaining ones, can you tell which one is older and better?"

Wang Chen raised his hand and picked up the two pieces on top, and then picked up the leftmost piece: "I think these three pieces should be the best among the nearly [-] pieces. The darker one is more purple, and it should be the least dated. , but it should be hundreds of years old. Looking at the carvings and the pattern style on it, it seems to be from the late Qing Dynasty.

As for this crystal clear and pure white piece, it should be from the Song Dynasty, but if you touch it carefully, it seems to be a little worn around the edge. It should be damaged. In this way, it has lost some value, but the pattern on the jade pendant is consistent with the unique style of the royal family in the Song Dynasty. It has something to do with the pattern and must be of considerable origin, so its value should be the highest among the three. "

Gui Jiu nodded, pointed to the last piece and asked, "What about this one?"

The last one is a piece of jade that is purple in color but has some earth color.

The whole is a simplified dragon pattern.

Judging from the surface, this jade is quite old and has a very uniform color, so it should be worth a lot of money.

But Wang Chen always felt a little strange.

He thought for a while and said: "This jade is really good, but it has a very strange smell. If you really want to tell it carefully, this breath should come from the ground."

Gui Jiu nodded and said: "This should be a yin object, that is, it was obtained from tombs. Generally speaking, the vitality of this jade will be nourished better and better, and wearing it will also be beneficial to the human body, but if it is stained If you lose the energy of death, it will have bad effects.

So if you want to buy it, the ancient jade from the Song Dynasty just now is the best choice. As for the last piece, I don’t recommend you to buy it. "
