Last year, I bought a seed material weighing 2.7 kg. I confiscated the material for a long time. I can’t help it.
It looks like a big piece of white meat in the middle of the material, but the whole material is dirty, stiff and cracked, especially the big crack on the right. No one can say what is inside, white meat or pitaya? It’s said that immortals can’t keep jade. Let’s bet.
Start cutting from the place with the greatest risk on the right. After the first knife is cut, the jade meat is dirty and gray. It’s expected. Continue to cut in the second knife, and it is still a large area of dirty Qin. If it goes on like this, even the beads can’t come out of the car. Will hundreds of thousands of gambles just drift away?
The third knife changed to the knife and cut from the side. This knife was terrible again. Continue to cut the fourth knife inward. Dirt and stiffness occupied most of the cutting surface, but a small piece of white meat finally appeared near the middle of the material, and the small flames of hope suddenly strung up again.
Then cut it in from the direction of the first and second knives. The master of this knife was cruel and cut off a thick piece. So far, most of the material has been cut off. Fortunately, after the fifth knife was cut, there was a large area of white meat, which was startled and settled. Fortunately, he didn’t lose everything.
Although the remaining material of more than one kilogram brings some water and grass, the white meat part is delicate and oily, and the whiteness can reach lanolin, which is quite rare. In recent years, kg seed materials are becoming more and more rare. Yulong Kashgar river has been dug over and over for dozens of times, and fine small seeds are difficult to find, let alone fine large materials.
The top-level materials weighing kilograms dug up in earlier years often cost millions or tens of millions. Most of them are hidden in safes by collectors and entrepreneurs. “Rare goods can live” is the investment wisdom handed down by the ancients. The price of large materials with defects and gambling is not low. In recent years, in order to quickly return funds, merchants have bought bracelets if they can, and cut brands and car beads if they can’t.
The stock of kilogram seed material market is small, and there are few transactions, and few are really carved into ornaments. Although the circulation of bracelets, brands and bracelets is generally better, from the perspective of value preservation and appreciation and art collection, ornaments are obviously better.
This is not difficult to understand. You can see that most of the winners are ornaments at large appraisal exhibitions such as “Tiangong Award” and “Shengong Award”. At major auctions, those who can win high prices are often ornaments. Based on the value, I decided to make this hard won material into a decoration.
One in ten thousand materials must be safe. I took the materials to find the jade carving master Yang Guang. Yang Guang is a master of jade carving in China, a celebrity of Arts and crafts in Jiangsu Province, a master of Arts and crafts in Yangzhou, and a representative inheritor of the intangible cultural heritage Yangzhou jade carving. Many of his works have won national evaluation awards such as “Tiangong Award” and “Hundred Flowers Award”.

If the jade material is handed over to him, it is equivalent to buying insurance.
When master Yang got the material, he first dug the dirt and removed the lock.
After the material was shaped, the ideas in master Yang’s mind gradually shaped. He painted a pine tree on the flat side of the material.
On the other side, the undulating peaks are carved by the concave convex of jade material. A vigorous leopard leaps between mountains, majestic. The water and grass on the original stone are skillfully carved into leopard spots, turning flaws into jade. The leopard has strong limbs and vigorous posture. It seems to shake the mountains.
In order to be more pleasing, master Yang also carved a pair of magpies on the branches of the lush pine tree. The leopard itself is the incarnation of an evil animal. It has the moral of avoiding evil and worshiping evil and turning evil into good luck. It is homonymous with the magpie, and the “good news” is a symbol of good luck and beauty.
After master Yang’s ingenious design and carving, a unique and natural seed material decoration was born.
This finished product amazed everyone who had seen jade material at the beginning. Its texture is as white as fat and moist as fat. Master Yang uses the characteristics of jade material to perfectly combine mountains, gods and animals, flowers and birds. The whole device has beautiful shape, meticulous carving, broad composition and clear layers. It is a solemn and elegant art of hall furnishings.
Boutique ornaments have high price and high value. They are often the first choice for the collection of stars, rich people, large collectors, entrepreneurs and other groups. For this group, what they lack is not money, but boutiques. Boutique ornaments are works of art with luxury attributes in their rooms, and are also safe assets that are easy to store and anti inflation.
