Just as Chen Wenzhe packed up his things, Mo Chengfang spoke again.

"The bezoar and musk that you entrusted me to find have also been heard. An old Chinese medicine store has gone bankrupt and is in the process of liquidating its capital. His family has a collection of many authentic Chinese medicines, and some valuable ones are still kept. Many of the things you want are available. You can buy it there."

"It shouldn't be hard to buy cinnabar or something, I'll figure it out myself!"

They were about to leave, but the appraiser just finished his work, he raised his head and said, "There is a large piece of cinnabar over there, let's take a look!"

"Cinnabar? We also have it here?" Mo Chengfang asked strangely.

The appraiser smiled and said, "Soapstone!"

Mo Chengfang suddenly realized that the chicken blood stone is the dickite in the cinnabar strip.

It is named for the bright red cinnabar (cinnabar) that resembles chicken blood.

Chicken blood stone is juxtaposed with Shoushan stone, Qingtian stone, and Balin stone, and enjoys the reputation of China's "Four National Stones". Chen Wenzhe naturally knows it, but he really didn't expect that chicken blood stone contains cinnabar.

Although he has never seen it, Chen Wenzhe knows that the formation of bloodstone is very rare.

At this time, he became more aware that the formation of bloodstone requires cinnabar (mercury sulfide) to penetrate into kaolinite, slowly blend in dickite, and become a symbiotic natural gemstone.

Therefore, bloodstone actually contains natural mercury sulfide, which is cinnabar!

You must know that this thing is poisonous, but bloodstone is widely loved for its magnificent, exquisite, elegant and colorful features, and is even known as the "Queen of Stones".

If this thing is beautiful, it will be famous, and naturally there will be many fakes.

The bloodstone mentioned by the appraiser is naturally not a fake, but a broken carving.

It was not that big at first, and it was smashed to pieces, so it was naturally worthless.

No matter what, Chen Wenzhe got his kindness. Besides, he was really curious and wanted to see what the bloodstone looked like.

Walking in, I found that there are indeed a lot of bloodstones here.

It can be seen that these fragments should have been two large pieces, one blood-red, and kept intact, but the redness is a bit abnormal.

Another large piece was broken, but this piece must have been fake because it was smashed.

Those small fragments are chicken blood stones, but the big ones are fake. This is a glued chicken blood stone carving.

That is to say, some fragmentary chicken blood stones are selected with good colors, screened out, compressed and bonded, made into large pieces, and then carved on them.

Such things will naturally start to pulverize after a long time, so after they are broken, they are crushed.

"This kind of thing can also be stored in the warehouse?"

Chen Wenzhe was very suspicious. Was the appraiser of the Gold Medal Pawn Shop just picking on the inside and the outside?Otherwise, the quality is too bad, right?

"More than 30 years ago, the industry was quite chaotic! At that time, I remember a novice collector who spent 1200 yuan to find a piece of Changhua chicken blood stone weighing 5500 grams, which was identified as a sky-high price by experts."

"The lucky one has an appraisal certificate issued by an expert. The certificate shows that the Changhua chicken blood stone weighs 5500 grams and is a product of the Republic of China."

"Later, another expert appraised that the time should be earlier, close to the craftsmanship of craftsmen in the late Qing Dynasty, and the value is at least 200 million to 300 million!"

"More than ten years ago, I spent a thousand yuan and earned two or three million yuan. How sensational? That's why a large number of fake bloodstones were born. For example, this relatively complete piece was dyed during that period."

"If it's real, even if the quality is lower, you can still get some materials and make some small seals. It's a pity that these fakes are too thorough and completely useless."

Chen Wenzhe fiddled with some of those fragments, which should be real chicken blood stones, but the quality is very poor.

But no matter how bad it is, it doesn't affect the cinnabar inside, it's all mercury sulfide anyway!

These bloodstones are more useful to Chen Wenzhe.

I just don't know if the cinnabar used in traditional Chinese medicine is this natural mineral.

Anyway, the value of these things is not high anyway, buy them and keep them, in case they are useful?

Gathering the fragments together, Chen Wenzhe looked at the complete chicken-blood stone carving again, what happened to it?

If it's dyed by other stones, it's completely useless, if it's not, and it does contain bloodstone, then he can still use it.

It was only after seeing the bloodstone that Chen Wenzhe realized that he didn't have a good seal.

As a young artist, this is incredible.

Therefore, he should pay attention to the bloodstone market in the future, maybe he can get some good bloodstones?

Anyway, the method of identifying jade is not much different from the method of identifying bloodstone, and both have to use golden fingers.

If you find a lot of bloodstones, you can also make some carvings!

Bloodstone is a good thing, mainly used for engraving, especially seals.

Now Chen Wenzhe is very good at engraving. Seal engraving is not a problem for him, but seal engraving, he is almost ready for it.

If he really had a chicken blood stone in his hand, Chen Wenzhe really wouldn't dare to use it for practice.

Because bloodstone is very rare and the output is limited, the market price is also very gratifying.

Just like the piece that is more than 30 meters high in front of you, how come it weighs seven or eight kilograms, so big, if it is genuine, it can't be sold for four to five million yuan?

Too bad it's dyed!Chen Wenzhe couldn't help touching it.

Even if it was dyed, he found that the carving of this bloodstone was also very good.

And just touching it like this made him feel that the pictures he vaguely saw were a bit wrong!

"This seems to be a genuine chicken blood stone. I don't know why, but the outside has been specially painted with a color. Is this a genuine chicken blood stone carving, intentionally made fake?"

Chen Wenzhe looked at it carefully for a while, and then realized that it was actually faked in [-].

At that time, the little devil was still in Dahai City. In order to preserve this thing, its owner at that time made a layer of camouflage.

Unexpectedly, it didn't fall into the hands of the devil, but was taken by his descendants in the end.

Now it's here, it's considered a fake, and it's almost trashed.

It turned out that Chen Wenzhe had heard of this kind of story of picking up leaks. Unexpectedly, he experienced it himself today.

However, this is always his unit, and he can't pick up mistakes here.

So Chen Wenzhe raised his eyebrows and opened his mouth to say something!

But at this moment, Mo Chengfang interrupted him!

"What? Like this thing? Just keep it if you like it. It's garbage anyway."

Mo Chengfang stood by the side without saying a word. What does he mean by saying that now?

"The carving is good. There is just such an ornament in the living room at home. If you buy it and put it there, you won't be afraid of being dropped by a brat!"

"Haha, don't tell me I haven't noticed yet. This is a Yangzhou carver, right? There is a particularly delicate style of carver over there. It looks good, and it's not expensive anyway. Just like you said, put it in the living room It is not afraid of damage, and it just realizes its value."
