Chapter 659: The Gambling Stone Competition Is in Progress
Yun An's condition was not very good. When choosing jade, he chose a stone in less than ten minutes. It was as big as a fist. Shen Qianshu helped him check it out. The jade was not bad. "Why don't you consider it and choose another stone?"
"This is it. Which one do you want to choose?"
After the appraiser selected the stone, he put his name on it and put it away. Shen Qianshu had not chosen yet. She had taken a fancy to several stones and was hesitant. There is a characteristic of gambling on jade. Professional knowledge accounts for 70% and luck accounts for 30%.
Some jades that look very good are not so good after opening.
Some stones that look very ordinary can open a very good jade.
There are many appraisers present, and some children of Feng Shui families. Half an hour is about to end. Shen Qianshu also selected a fist-sized stone and put his name on it.
Shen Qianshu walked all over the venue and touched every stone in Yun An's puzzled eyes.
All the appraisers in the venue have chosen stones.
The host shouted excitedly, "The exciting moment has arrived. All the appraisers have selected their stones. Now, we have to see who has selected the best stone. What do you think? Are you looking forward to it?"
"Looking forward to it!"
There was thunderous applause from all directions.
This is a very huge project. After selecting the jade, it must be opened and then handed over to the eight appraisers of the organizer for scoring. In the finals, Lu Mengxi's stone was the first to be opened. It was very beautiful. It was a piece of jade without any impurities. It was the best among the jades. She looked at Shen Qianshu proudly and stood aside.
Yun An said, "Lu Mengxi's stone is better than ours."
Shen Qianshu was silent for a moment, "Yeah."
Although the stone had not been cut yet, Shen Qianshu knew that Lu Mengxi's stone was better than the one she had chosen. This stone looked nothing special on the outside. Shen Qianshu's stone showed green on the first cut, and it was a very emerald green with very good water head. The jade cut from a fist-sized stone was not particularly large, and there were some impurities around it, but it could be made into a jade pendant, and the purity and clarity were also good.
Yun An had the most unique vision and cut a piece of imperial green.
The water head was very good.
The only regret was that there were not many emeralds.
Other people's jades were large and small, and of all kinds. One of them cut out red jade, which was unique. Shen Qianshu's jade was not the best, but it was not bad either. She didn't pay much attention to how others cut out.
Soon, the appraisal party gave the data.
When jade is cut, in addition to purity and clarity, weight is also a very important indicator.
Especially the weight indicator of purity.
Yun'an's stone has better water head than Lu Mengxi's. However, he has less jade, not as much as Lu Mengxi. After cutting the surface of Lu Mengxi's jade, the whole stone is almost jade, and there is no impurity.
"The first place is Miss Lu Mengxi. Miss Lu is worthy of being a star in the appraisal industry. She is professional and unique. The stone after cutting is bright and colorful. It is a rare gem. Congratulations to Miss Lu Mengxi!"
There was thunderous applause on the field.
The little boy listened to the people praising Lu Mengxi expressionlessly.
"Lu Mengxi is young, but he has such professional knowledge and unique vision. It's amazing."
"The domestic people have been praising Shen Qianshu. This competition shows the difference. Shen Qianshu is not as good as Lu Mengxi at all."
"She looks good, but the media is praising her blindly."
