Chapter 646 Rare Treasures
Looking at the contents of the box, everyone was a little dumbfounded.
"What is this piece?"
"Such a large piece cannot be a sapphire."
"Look, there's actually a dragonfly inside."
"My God! Is this Amber?"
When Li Tianhe, Li Ying, Li Nianying, Wang Siya, Wang Zhuo and the people around them saw the dragonfly inside the blue transparent object, they were all stunned. They couldn't believe their eyes. It was the first time they saw such a big transparent Insect amber.
"Such a big piece of transparent amber? How is that possible?"
"The dragonflies inside are too lifelike. They look much better than the sticky mosquitoes and flies in ordinary amber."
"This is unscientific. Dragonflies are bound to struggle when they are stuck with resin. The more they struggle, the more ugly their posture will be. How can they maintain their graceful flying posture?"
"It's unbelievably perfect. Could this be some kind of imitation of modern craftsmanship?"
"Uncle, can you let me take a closer look?" A middle-aged man with a square face stepped forward a little excitedly. Many people present knew him. He was Li Tianhe's nephew, surnamed Mao, and was a professional appraiser. Some treasures, he couldn't help but appreciate them.
Li Tianhe was also attracted by the blue Po, and only regained consciousness when he heard the voice of the square-faced middle-aged man. He first glanced at Su Jing inquiringly, and when he saw that Su Jing nodded indifferently, he smiled: "Xiao Bin , then take a good look and don't look away."
"Okay." The square-faced middle-aged man stepped forward, took out tools such as a magnifying glass, and made a careful identification. His face flushed with excitement. It was more expensive than the set of antiques worth tens of millions sent by Zhao Qifeng before. More excited, "God, this should be real amber, it's amazing, Mr. Su, where did you get this amber, this is incredible, wait, this must be a dream..."
"Xiao Bin, calm down, how old you are and still frizzy, not afraid of people's jokes." Li Nianying scolded with a smile.
"Cousin, you don't know how precious this thing is, and you can't calm down if you know it." The square-faced middle-aged man said excitedly.
"Then tell me, how precious is it, and how much is it worth?" Li Nianying asked, a little surprised by his cousin's reaction. After all, my cousin is well-informed. The set of antiques worth tens of millions is very calm.
"This thing can't be measured by money at all. It's a priceless treasure. If it is auctioned at the auction house, I estimate that it can exceed 10 million, or even hundreds of millions." The middle-aged man with a square face said.
This not only exceeded Li Nianying's expectations, but even Li Ying, Li Tianhe, Wang Siya, and Wang Zhuo couldn't help but take a deep breath. Zhao Qifeng and Zhao Yuan narrowed their eyes. Everyone thought they heard it wrong, hundreds of millions? how is this possible?
"Xiao Bin, are you joking?" Li Ying looked shocked.
"It's not a joke, there are definitely a lot of rich collectors willing to spend a lot of money on it." The middle-aged man with a square face quickly explained to everyone in detail because he was too excited.
As we all know, amber is the resin dripping of coniferous plants, buried in the ground for thousands of years, and petrified under the action of pressure and heat, so it is also called "resin fossil" or "turpentine fossil". Because of its age and rarity, even ordinary amber is valuable. Some of the rarer amber easily surpasses gold.
There are six main factors affecting the value of amber.
One is fidelity. Needless to say, only genuine products are precious, and imitations are worthless.
The second is the size of the block. To collect any gems and scarce resources, the large size of the individual is always the truth that the value cannot be broken. Especially for the collection of amber raw materials, it is very important to have a large volume and a regular shape. Sometimes amber is not twice as expensive as it is twice as big, sometimes it is two or three times more expensive. Like this kind of transparent amber, most of them are small pieces, and it is extremely rare to have about three pounds.
Third, there are insects and plants. The more complete and clear the insects and plants are, the more valuable they are. For collectors and investors, only amber that contains rare creatures or plants is worth collecting. If amber treasures are rare, then the proportion of amber insects should belong to tens of thousands. Due to the extrusion of the earth's crust, amber insects are very small, and most of them can be seen clearly through a magnifying glass. Now, amber insects that are clearly visible to the naked eye are rare. As for the piece of amber that Su Jing gave, the dragonfly inside was very large and lifelike. Not to mention the ordinary naked eye, it could be seen clearly by myopic eyes.
Fourth, there is content and scenery. The richness of natural gemstones is the most beautiful, and if these contents form a colorful picture of nature, it will be of great value. This piece of blueberry looks like a blue sky, with a few white clouds floating in the sky, dragonflies flying in the sky, and the scenery is so beautiful that no matter who sees it, they can't help but love it.
The fifth is clarity. As with any gemstone, clarity is very important. The piece of amber that Su Jing presented was perfect in terms of clarity, almost surpassing all amber. It was unreasonable that such a large piece could be as flawless as glass.
The sixth is color, blue is a relatively rare color in amber, and it is very worthy of collection.
In short, this dragonfly blue opal, no matter from which point of view, is the best, on the one hand, the best is hard to come by, and it is the best in every aspect, but it is a rare treasure that cannot be found in the world. No second block. Such rare treasures can no longer be judged according to the market price, how much per gram, and it has exceeded the market price range. It can be expected that many rich people are willing to spend a lot of money for it.
"It turns out that this dragonfly blueberry is so valuable."
"The more I look at it, the more I like it. I really want to keep a piece for appreciation."
"This Su Jing really lives up to his reputation, he really is a gift-giving maniac."
"Originally, I had some opinions on his nickname of the gift-giving maniac, but now I accept it."
"This kind of top-quality product has the heart to give it away, doesn't it hurt?"
Yes, many people present felt pain for Su Jing, even Wang Siya and Wang Zhuo. Although they said from the beginning that they must give treasures, don't be stingy, but this treasure is beyond their imagination, looking at this dragonfly. Lan Po, they couldn't help but want to keep it for themselves, the entanglement in their hearts. It's not about money. Money can't buy this rare treasure.
"Xiao Su, this gift is really..." Even the well-informed Li Tianhe was a little embarrassed. Don't accept it, I really like it, accept it, it's too precious. Ordinary people give hundreds of thousands or millions of gifts, and he doesn't care much, it is equivalent to ordinary people receiving a few dozen gifts, which is normal. At most, it is good to exchange gifts and return a gift of equal value. However, the priceless treasure is another matter, and there is no way to return the gift. Once this gift is received, it is a favor.
"Uncle Li, this is just a gadget that I got by accident, just accept it." Su Jing smiled lightly, which made many people want to complain, Nima, don't call rare treasures a gadget Okay, don't bring such exciting people.
But in fact, this is indeed a gadget for Su Jing. This piece of blueberry, a piece of garbage from the time and space of "The Change of the Stars", originally had a few crooked characters engraved on it - Xiang Tianbao, which is basically a child's toy, but the handwriting was later erased by Su Jing's request. In addition to this blue aberde, Su Jing later dug up a few pieces of amber. In comparison, this blue aberde was the most common.
