Agate, chalcedony family is very huge, including the quartzite jade with the above fraud, in fact, is also the home.
What is the difference between a family that is worth a fortune and a family that is worth nothing?
Expensive heaven, cheap into the ground chalcedony and agate, although the name is different, but essentially belong to quartz jade, have a very close blood relationship.
And they have something in common: variety.
Some of them are rare, but the quality is extraordinary, the price can soar to break through the sky;
And some passers-by do not leave, cheap to the dust.
1 chalcedony, investment value: u u u chalcedony world colorful, it is usually according to the classification varieties of color, have white, colorless, red, yellow, purple, green, blue and black.
We are more familiar with, may be colorless chalcedony, transparent texture, good quality will emit fluorescence, like ice jade.
In fact, colorless chalcedony itself glass texture ice refreshing, but also inexpensive.
Red chalcedony is also popular, bright red, crystal thick is, the surface with beautiful texture, meaning is also very auspicious.
Still, many people despise them for one reason: they’re too cheap.
Colorless, red, and green chalcedony can still get some attention for its beauty, while topchalcedony can also get some status support for its rarity, with white chalcedony often reduced to the bleakest bargain.
But in fact, if white chalcedony has a little more special pattern, it can instantly become a fairy, and even the noble blue and purple chalcedony will be subordinate. This is: Marine chalcedony.
¢Ù Marine chalcedony: big benefits, big risks Marine chalcedony is also called sea jade, crystal inside the chalcedony, distributed with a variety of beautiful, inclusions composed of patterns, patterns.
Once these patterns can be given special meaning by the human imagination, this piece of Marine chalcedony is almost as valuable as you want it to be.
However, such unique chalcedony can not be found, so the risk of collection and purchase is also great.
In contrast, with a high value and relatively stable value, or blue, purple chalcedony.
¢Ú Blue and purple chalcedony: it is worth collecting blue chalcedony and purple chalcedony, but the internal iron content difference: many purple chalcedony will have a blue tone, blue chalcedony may also have a purple tone.
There is a kind of “noble” – Taiwan blue chalcedony, the price can reach 1,000 yuan or even 10,000 yuan per gram.
Taiwan blue chalcedony is also called Taiwan blue treasure, which is often rich and clear blue.
Gemstone grade blue chalcedony yield is rare, Turkish blue chalcedony relative color good, pure, fluorescent enough, the price in 1000 yuan/gram.
Translucent to TRANSPARENT chalcedony, dark, flawless, bright color for the best, purple often looks very much like violet emerald, mainly from Brazil.
2 agate, investment value: Nan Hong as a classification of agate, it can be said that once born, the stone is broken!
Before 2014 and 2015, Nanhong was unknown, it is said that the market is carrying the burden of selling jin, but in 2014, Nanhong began to show signs of “soaring”, low quality grams of hundreds of thousands of good prices.
Fast-forward to 2015, and Nanhong has joined the list of “crazy rocks.”
Do you still remember the Baoshan South Red bead with a diameter of 2.2cm and a weight of 15 grams?
That year with the price of 1 million transactions, gram price reached 66 thousand, instant brush screen jewelry circle of friends.
In the following years, Nanhong’s rise was even higher.
The most popular, Baoshan Nanhong, although revered for its beautiful persimmon, is limited in its exploitation and market share because of its “ten reds and nine cracks”.
Compared with Sichuan Liangshan South red, it is tough, and the color and luster are not inferior to Baoshan South Red, can make a splash or rely on strength.
At present, the south red market has passed the previous “stir fry” period, slowly restored to the normal level, good quality gram price is basically stable in a few thousand yuan, began to be more and more suitable for ordinary, love red gem friends investment.
¡ï¡ï¡î But, agate family in addition to Nan Hong, is there no one?
Of course not!
Since ancient times in China, agate has been ranked among the top 3 jewelry and jade. It has always been a symbol of beauty and auspice.
The biggest advantage of agate is that its beauty is too characteristic, because it is a rare gem with complex natural patterns.
In the course of thousands of years, agate has developed its unique textures, and these textures must be as different and unique as there are no two identical leaves in the world.
Onyx and sardonyx are common onyx, and some of them are highly prized, such as the Warring States Red.
Chinese red for respect, yellow for expensive, and the Warring States red collection of red and yellow, the composition of a strange cloud day phase, the price is naturally expensive.
So, it can also be understood that as long as the texture of the shape, color is special enough, this agate will stand out.
The so-called “eye of heaven” beads, medicine beads, etc., are the cheap of the texture oh ~ there are many small agate is worth money, mainly because it is similar to “stone”.
Strange stone collection, often have the myth of overnight wealth, by the pattern of the “odd”, or the “odd” shape.
The world’s most expensive Gobi agate, a price of 130 million yuan at auction, is this famous “chick shell” : it is strange, this shape, is naturally formed but this kind of fantastic stone is not everyone can find.
Compared with the strange shape, the strange pattern is relatively more reasonable, but also more common, so the price is much lower, if the collection is recommended to choose a string of jewelry with good color: 4 siliconized jade, investment value: ¡ï¡ï¡ï¡ï quartz jade, there is a special classification – fossil class!
These include silicified wood, silicified coral and silicified jade.
Silicified wood is the fossil of wood. If the history is longer and the conditions are more special, and jade is likely to occur, it will become silicified jade (that is, jade wood) : Although silicified wood is a fossil, its appearance is not good enough, and its main value lies in scientific research.
Jade wood is not only have research value, more will form like jade bright appearance, rich in color, the appearance level of each different shape, this value is extraordinary.
The larger ones often cost hundreds of millions of dollars. Silicified corals are fossilized corals for the same reason.
Bao elder sister can give you popular science it, this is the legend of “rich jade” – coral jade oh!
Dragon born nine children, each have different, quartz quality jade in both south Hong, water grass agate, silicified jade such people….
There are also quartzite (including Beijing white jade, Dongling jade and so on), such a “professional double”.
These two own value is not big, but also like to rely on the appearance of a few minutes similar, posing as brothers and sisters, and even across the varieties to do jade, and Tian jade double.
It can be said that the Beijing white jade posing as Hetian jade, white and fine texture, pure, few impurities, and crystal white.
Such a description, it seems that really with Hetian jade exactly the same ah: pity, “double” how can completely replace the main?
Although Jingbai jade looks like Hetian jade, the nature of quartz makes it far different from Hetian jade — ¢Ù Quartz is abundant, there is no problem of rarity, and it is completely worthless. ¢Ú Although it looks like Hetian jade at first glance, the internal structure of Jingbai jade is loose and not dense at all. ¢Û Jingbai jade’s luster is glass.
And Hetian jade is oil luster say another often posing as jade quartzite – Dongling jade.
In fact, it should be called Dongling stone. Beauty is called “jade” because it takes advantage of the “turquoise” appearance.
Moreover, quartzite structure is loose, easy pickling glue injection, it is easier to pretend to be jade.
However, because texture and Hetian jade, jade difference is obvious, so it is not difficult to distinguish.
As for Bite, as the south of the red associated ore, but have the courage to replace the Lord, conscience really won’t hurt?
It can be seen that although the stone is red, but the stone is heavy, which is also mixed with impurities, most made of ordinary ornaments, not much collection value.
The latest market dynamics at any time to see, please pay attention to.
