Seeing through stones, the awakening of superpowers

Principal Lin shook his head angrily and continued to look at the exhibits in the exhibition hall.

After walking around Lin School, I found that the richness of the white light of the exhibits here has nothing to do with the age. Among them, the white light of paintings, calligraphy, and ancient books is generally richer. There are also some objects with precious materials that have a richer white light, and some rough pottery farm tools. Something like that, even if it's a long time ago, the white light above is very faint.

So what does white light have to do with it? Age, obviously not. Regarding the material, no, Principal Lin found that the material of some jade was not very good, but the white light was thicker than other jade from the same dynasty. What's more, in terms of richness, paper products such as calligraphy and painting are the highest.

School Lin began to analyze calligraphy and painting, and he discovered a general rule. The more famous the author of a calligraphy and painting, the more red seals there are on it, and the richer the white light of the work.

Could it be related to the creator of the antique? The more famous the creator is, the richer the antique white light will be?

However, the white light of some jade and porcelain is more intense than that of calligraphy and painting.

In ancient times, it was not ordinary people who could leave paintings, especially calligraphy, while those who made porcelain and jade were only craftsmen. This is not quite right.

Schoolmaster Lin still hasn't fully figured out the relationship between the intensity of white light and antiques, but he seems to have some ideas.

The museum here is too small, so you should go to a museum in a big city to see it.

Lin Xiao walked around the museum again and found nothing special, so he left.

There are also several jade stores in Ruicheng. Although the rough stones are not as concentrated as the wholesale market, the total number is still quite large.

School Lin originally planned to buy while live streaming and take his time, but now that the situation has changed, School Lin decided to get the best materials he could see first.

First, we came to the Jewelry City. We have been to the Jewelry City twice. School Lin wanted to see if any fish had slipped through the net this time.

After turning around, I actually came to the antique shop I passed last time.

Principal Lin didn't want to go in, but he didn't expect that the glasses shop owner actually saw him:

"Handsome guy, let's go shopping again. Come in and sit for a while. I have some good stuff here this time."

Since everyone had greeted them, Principal Lin had no choice but to go in and take a look.

"Did the handsome guy come to buy jade?"

The owner of the glasses store did not introduce the goods in the store, but asked about Principal Lin.

"Yes, I'm just here to buy jade."

"I'm just saying, well, since I can't sell anything, most of the people who come here are here for the jade."

The glasses shop owner seemed very frustrated when he said this.

Indeed, it is a bit bizarre to open an antique shop in the Emerald Jewelry City.

If it is a big city like Beijing or Haicheng, with a large flow of people, there may still be business.

But in a place like Ruicheng, most of the people who come to Jewelry City are jewelry colleagues, so who would care about this antique store full of modern handicrafts.

"Then boss, why did you open the store here?"

When Principal Lin asked, the boss smiled mysteriously:

"Actually, I mainly dealt with Lao Jade here before."

Hearing the words "Old Jade", Principal Lin couldn't help but sneer.

These three words, Lao Jade, have been spoiled by some people.

It’s not that there are no old jadeite. Jadeite is truly a high-end jade article with a history of only a few hundred years. However, due to the restriction of mining conditions in ancient times, the quality of most jadeite was very ordinary.

In the past, jadeite was only green. It didn’t matter what kind of water the texture was. As long as the color was green enough, it was valuable. Just a few decades ago, there were large jadeite families, and the stones paving their roads were all ice jadeite. Because at that time, colorless ice jade was worthless at all.

Nowadays, people are paying more and more attention to the planting water of jadeite. Jadeite with only color and no planting water can be in the mid-range at most, but never in the high-end. Therefore, even though some jade may be hundreds of years old and the color is quite bright, the planting water is too poor and the texture is too rough, and the price is not as good as modern high-water planting jade.

From the perspective of jewelry materials, it is also very scientific for people to pay more and more attention to water cultivation. The reason why high-end jewelry is high-end is that in addition to its beautiful appearance and rare stock, it is also important to have good stability. High-end jewelry such as diamonds, rubies and sapphires are hard in texture and very corrosion-resistant. As long as no major collision occurs, they can maintain their original appearance for thousands of years. As for the old jadeite in the past, because it only pursued color, its texture was rough and loose, and it was easy to be contaminated and worn. After a few hundred years, it may be beyond recognition. Jade with high water content does not have such problems, because it has fine texture, hard structure, good stability, and can be stored for a long time. This is the quality that high-end jewelry should have.

Why does Principal Lin despise Old Jade?

If it is a real old jade, although it is not in good quality due to historical limitations, it still has cultural relic value after all.

But some people have focused on this piece. They have concocted a lot of fake old jade by pickling, glue injection and other methods. Some people even make it directly from glass and claim it to be a legendary treasure to deceive people. This is what is called National Treasure Gang.

Regarding news like this, Lin had seen it when he was in college, but now it is rare.

Seeing Principal Lin's disdainful expression, the glasses shop owner quickly said:

"I have real old jade here. You can come and have a look. I won't let most people see it."

While talking, the glasses shop owner opened a small door and took out a box from inside.

There were two packages in the box, one large and one small. He took out the small package.

What was displayed in front of Schoolmaster Lin were five pieces of jadeite, two finger rings, a snuff bottle, and two pendants.

Each one is green, but the texture is rough, and some places are yellow and black. This is pollution caused by the loose texture.

"These are my top-shelf items."

The glasses shop owner said it seriously.

"What's in that big package? Let's take it out and see."

There was no change on Principal Lin's face, and he just asked lightly.

"It's all clutter there, nothing interesting to see."

The glasses shop owner smiled awkwardly and was about to put the box away.

"Boss, you're all here, let's take a look together, maybe there's something I like."

Principal Lin pressed down the box.

The glasses boss looked a little ugly:

"Okay, okay, you can take a look at them all. If you like them, I'll give you a discount."

As soon as the big package was opened, I felt "jeweled" in front of my eyes.

There was a lot of stuff inside, each one not packed individually, just piled together in such a mess.

A bracelet made of imperial purple glass, a necklace made of imperial green, a big brave made of multicolored glass, there are a lot of similar things.

If these are genuine jadeite, each piece will cause a sensation in the jadeite jewelry industry. Unfortunately, these are all fake, which is what the so-called National Treasure Gang is after.

"Hey, boss, the goods you have here are really high-end. If I take this one out, I won't be able to buy half of the jewelry city."

Principal Lin said sarcastically.

"Haha, brother, you are joking. Didn't I do a small business before? I made a batch of handicrafts. If you like it, just play with it. But those five pieces are genuine old jadeite. I can guarantee that you have it. not interested."

"Boss, are you telling the truth or not? I'm really scared."
