Chapter 110 There will be blessings later
"My brother said, if it weren't for you, Brother Lin, I might..."
Lin Yuan waved his hand and interrupted her: "Don't say this, you will be lucky if you survive the disaster!"
Xiao Tai, however, did not save face for his sister and scolded her directly: "It's not about the blessings that come later. As long as she is safe in the future and doesn't cause trouble for me, I will be satisfied."
Lin Yuan smiled and said: "It's true that you will have good luck later. Where did that thing in the bag come from? Give me a look."
As soon as she sat down, Xiao Tai opened her bag to get some tissues, and Lin Yuan noticed the items in her bag.
Sister Xiao Tai was stunned, then took out the string of Buddhist beads from her bag and asked, "Brother Lin, is this what you are talking about? This was what I picked up when I was rescued."
< br>
It was supposed to be a boss thing.
"Oh? Foreigners also play this kind of thing?" The old uncle was a little surprised.
Xiao Tai's sister shook her head: "That's either a foreigner or a Chinese. I was tricked into it by a Chinese."
Lin Yuan: "..."
Good guy!
No wonder people say that when you go abroad, you must be wary of "compatriots" and "fellow villagers". Those people are often the ones who want to harm you. Don't believe that "Chinese people don't lie to Chinese people."
Lin Yuan took the string of beads and took a look at them.
Old uncle: "What? These beads are not simple?",
Lin Yuan shook his head: "The beads are very simple, nothing special. This is what is valuable."
In the middle of this string of beads, there is a special thing, an oval cylinder.
Old uncle: "This seems to be called Dzi Beads, is it true?"
Of course he knows that Dzi beads are valuable! But real Dzi beads are very rare. At least he has never seen the real ones, not even from Uncle De and Boss Lei.
"Yeah! It's true."
Dzi beads are made of agate and may have decorative symbols consisting of circles, ovals, squares, wavy or zigzag shapes, stripes, lines, rhombuses, dots and various other archetypal and symbolic patterns.
Its color ranges mainly from brown to black, and the pattern is usually ivory white. Dzi beads can appear in different colors, shapes, and sizes; the surface is usually smooth and waxy, presumably due to long-term wear and tear.
Some Dzi beads display what are called blood spots, small red dots in white areas, indicating the presence of iron. This is a highly desirable feature among collectors, but is relatively rare.
As we all know, Dzi beads are a rare gemstone, made of nine-eyed shale, containing jade and agate, and are one of the Seven Hidden Treasures.
To this day, Tibetans generally believe that Dzi beads are jewelry with special magical powers worn by gods. They are special and auspicious jewelry that gods scatter to the world to help humans overcome hardships and disasters, turn misfortunes into good fortune, and turn adversities into good fortune.
In recent years, its price has increased nearly six times due to scarce production and increased demand. A piece of dzi bead stone of good quality can be sold for several million, or even tens of millions.
"Moreover, this is an old Dzi bead." Lin Yuan added.
It can be seen that the bead body of this Dzi bead is finely polished, full in shape, full of brilliance, regular etching, precise and sharp line drawing, clear bite, and distinct color. The bead has been worn for a long time, and the texture is round and moist. The bead is There are cracks on the body, which does not affect the use and wearing.
Those who know the art should know that Dzi beads are divided into old Dzi beads and new Dzi beads.
In recent years, with the booming Dzi beads market, counterfeiting has become increasingly rampant. More and more people are using new Dzi beads or synthetic Dzi beads to make them old and pass them off as old Dzi beads.
Although the new Dzi beads are also Dzi beads, their value is very different from the old Dzi beads. During the long-term wearing and playing process, Dzi beads will form a thick and oily oxide layer, which is called patina by insiders. If there is this layer of patina on the surface of the Dzi bead and it looks more ancient, then it may have been around for a long time and is an old Dzi bead.
"Hmm! Look at the pulp, it must be old." The old uncle commented pretendingly.
"Actually, you can tell by looking at the shape." Lin Yuan said.
He explained: "In ancient times, due to backward technology, old Dzi beads were often polished by hand, so they generally showed an irregular oval shape, and the curvature was basically not particularly perfect."
< br>
This is not the case for new Dzi beads. Because its production process is mostly machine processing, although its shape is also oval, compared with the old Dzi beads, its symmetry is relatively high and the curvature is more perfect.
In fact, it is better to look at weathering patterns, which are more difficult to imitate.
Due to wearing, playing with and polishing, old Dzi beads will form some completely irregular and varying shades of crescent-shaped or horseshoe-shaped patterns on the surface, which are the so-called "weathering patterns". New Dzi beads basically do not have such patterns.
There is also cinnabar.
When old Dzi beads are exposed to the air for a long time, the iron elements inside them will oxidize, forming cinnabar dots of different sizes and scattered from the inside out. However, imitation cinnabar dots generally only float on the surface, with different colors and colors. There are also certain rules in size and distribution.
"One, two, three, four, five..." the old uncle counted.
This book was recently updated in ##六@@九@@书@@!! Updated!
Xiao Tai was happy when he saw his sister pull out a treasure from inside. In this way, it is finally not that bad. Maybe my sister will not have to fight for this thing in the rest of her life.
"Uncle, what are you counting?" Xiao Tai asked.
"Eight! Eight eyes, what a pity." The old uncle did not answer Xiao Tai's words.
Lin Yuan told him: "Count the eyes of this Dzi bead. The more eyes there are and the odd-numbered Dzi beads are rarer, so the price is higher, and the closer to nine eyes, the better."
However, if there are too many eyes on a Dzi bead, it will become a thousand-eye Dzi bead, which will greatly reduce the price. It is better if the size of each eye is similar. If the size is different, it is not considered a good Dzi bead.
"How valuable is it?" Xiao Tai couldn't help but ask.
"Although this is not a Nine-Eyed Dzi Bead, and it is an even number, the quality and coating are excellent. It is worth four to three million yuan!" Lin Yuan gave an estimate.
Now in the market, it is basically impossible for ordinary people to buy real Dzi beads because they are very expensive. Some people spend 30,000 or 50,000 to buy a Dzi bead with as many eyes as possible. This is almost impossible.
Nowadays, Dzi beads with a length of 0.5 cm and a diameter of 0.4 cm are priced at 100,000, Dzi beads with two eyes are priced at millions, and Dzi beads with nine eyes are priced at tens of millions.
In the eyes of collectors who like Dzi beads, each Dzi bead has been passed down and developed for thousands of years. It is extremely rare to be passed down to this day and preserved intact. Its historical inheritance value is very high.
Moreover, the totem of each Dzi bead has its own unique meaning. Scientists have analyzed it like the map of human DNA, which also adds an elusive veil to the mystery of Dzi beads.
Therefore, Dzi beads have risen sharply in recent years, although there is an element of speculation in it.
Hearing this, Xiaotai brother and sister were very happy.
"Brother Lin, please help me find a buyer, please." Although Xiao Tai was older than Lin Yuan, he still followed everyone and called him Brother Lin.
"Let me ask, this is a real Dzi bead, so don't worry about not having a buyer, don't worry!"
