Crystal ornamental stone is the most representative work of natural crystals, and it has the ornamentality that no other gemstone has. Whether it is jade or jade, it must be carved and carved to reflect its value. Crystal ornamental stone only needs to polish the surface, that is, it shows the substance wrapped in the crystal, and directly appreciate the original crystal stone.
Naturalness is the basic characteristic of crystal ornamental stones. Usually, the overall shape of crystal minerals has high ornamental value without decoration and carving. However, inclusion crystal ornamental stones often need to be properly polished, which makes it easier to see the inclusions inside the ornamental crystal.
Crystal ornamental stones are often very strange in terms of form, texture, internal characteristics, etc. Nature has infinite scenery, and can be found in the inclusion crystal seeds.
Natural crystals are non-renewable resources. With the deepening of development, the stock of natural crystals has become smaller and smaller. In order to achieve sustainable development, relevant government departments of the country have long formulated policies to protect local resources and encourage the development of overseas crystal resources. However, overseas resources are also becoming less and less. Many overseas countries have raised the threshold for mining and exporting natural crystals. Therefore, the prices of foreign crystals entering the Chinese market have soared year by year, among which ornamental crystals have risen faster than ordinary crystals.
The chemical composition of crystal is mainly silica, and the chemical stability of the crystal is quite good; the hardness of the crystal is very high, and its Moss (Moss) hardness is 7. These determine that the crystal will not rot and deteriorate, be durable, easy to store, and is very suitable for collection.
There are many mineral inclusions inside the crystal, and the various landscapes formed can be observed with the naked eye. Such crystals are inclusion crystal ornamental stones. Because the crystal itself is a gem, people call inclusion crystals "gem-level ornamental stones". Inclusion crystal ornamental stones are unique and have high appreciation and collection value.
Inclusion crystal ornamental stones can be divided into the following three types according to the order of their inclusions:
The first is "full inclusions", which encases these substances in the crystal when crystals are crystallized. Most of the various scenes formed by this type of inclusions maintain the original state of the crystal when crystallized, that is, it has been preserved for hundreds of millions of years and is rarely affected by the natural environment;
The second type is "semi-inclusion". After the crystal crystal is crystallized, some substances outside the crystal penetrate into the crystal through the cracks of the crystal. Some of them are wrapped in the crystal and the other part is exposed outside the crystal. We can see that the cracks of the substance penetrate into the crystal, which are often called "channels". The scene formed by this inclusion is relatively affected by the natural environment and time. The corresponding value is also relatively low;.
The third type is "skin scene", which is symbiotic with certain other minerals, or is attached to the crystal surface due to the erosion of other substances, or the crystal is affected by the natural environment. Eclipses appear on the crystal surface. Some scenes or patterns are formed, and this landscape exists on the crystal surface.
Crystal inclusions are rich and colorful, from gases, liquids to various minerals, and even gems, they can be contained in crystals, and the scenes formed by various inclusions are even more varied. According to the content of the inclusions, inclusion crystals are often divided into the following eight categories:
Crystal cat's eye: Common titanium crystal cat's eye, copper smooth hair cat's eye, quartz cat's eye, green hair crystal cat's eye.
Starlight crystal: visible starlight titanium crystal, starlight powder crystal, starlight quartz.
Titanium Crystal Flower: It consists of three groups of titanium crystals arranged in a plane, which are beautiful and rare.
Water gallbladder crystal: includes gaseous, liquid, and solid. Sometimes it can coexist at the same time, mostly colorless. In some cases, red, green, yellow, blue, black, etc. can be seen.
Hair crystals: including titanium crystals, copper straight hair, green hair crystals, black hair crystals, silver hair crystals, and variegated hair crystals. Among them, titanium crystals are the most precious, and a few titanium crystals are worth comparable to diamonds, rubies and sapphires and emeralds.
Rabbit hair crystal: it has red, yellow, white and other colors, and is mainly composed of subtle hair-like structures.
Ghost crystal: divided into green ghost, red ghost, white ghost, etc., and is mainly composed of green mud stone, among which green ghosts are precious species.
Landscape crystal: It is a crystal of various special shapes composed of inclusions, some like landscapes, some like characters, some like words, some like animals, plants, utensils, etc.
Crystal raw stone ornamental stone, literally, the original appearance of ornamental crystal stone, that is, the inclusion crystal and primary color crystal after polishing and peeling, have very high ornamental value and collection value without carving or pictograms.
This type of crystal ornamental stone has very high requirements for texture. The crystal crystal is transparent and clean, bright in color, and has a high value for its distinctive artistic conception. Its value characteristics are like diamonds, which are truly the value of the stone itself.
The crystal raw stone ornamental stone fully reflects the essence of natural crystal. The polished crystal raw stone ornamental stone is exquisite, crystal clear, brilliant, and unique design, which just reveals the charm of the crystal.
If you want to simply appreciate crystals, crystal rough ornamental stones are your best choice, giving people a feeling of returning to nature.
Crystal cluster crystals, this crystal ornamental stone specifically refers to crystal clusters, which are a combination of crystals that grow together in many single crystals. Crystal clusters are well-known in the crystal stone appreciation world for their crystal clear and unique shapes.
The appreciation and evaluation of this type of crystal cluster ornamental stone mainly emphasizes the integrity of the crystal, the precious variety (such as amethyst, smoke crystal, hair crystal, etc.), the unique shape, and contains precious crystals (such as chensha, matignon ore, etc.).
Crystal clusters are produced in crystal caves of ore deposits. It is rare to see perfect appearance. It is difficult to collect them intact and incompletely, so it is expensive to collect them, so the value of fine crystal clusters is expensive.
Crystal jewelry is becoming more and more popular among people. People in China, Japan, South Korea, the United States and other countries also have a special liking for crystal balls. They like to place them at home or in the office, believing that crystal balls are spiritual, can protect safety and bring wealth.
However, natural crystals are not as crystal clear as they look, and they also have flaws. We should pay attention to when purchasing accessories.
In addition, we must master the evaluation basis and purchasing methods of crystals, which can help us select the crystal we like from a wide range of crystal jewelry.
Common defects of crystals: 1 hidden cracks
In transparent crystals, hidden cracks are shiny and sometimes there is a halo effect. These cracks are some invisible cracks generated inside when the crystal is squeezed when it encounters external force during its growth. The hidden cracks are very common in hibiscus, amethyst, white crystal balls and white crystal columns. Some cracks are later filled with matter and form healing cracks, which means that the original cracks last longer. The impact of this crack on the crystal is relatively small.
2. Cotton, cloud or slag-like inclusions, impurities are foggy inside the transparent crystal or feel like there is cotton-like or slag-like inclusions. The existence of these inclusions affects the overall beauty of the crystal.
Some crystals contain dark spots or other colored spots in the crystal, which are inconsistent with the crystal as a whole and are regarded as impurities of the crystal. Crystals with this impurity are defective.
3 Cracks: After the crystal is formed, large cracks or cracks are caused by external forces or some artificial reasons. This kind of crack can be big or small, and its impact on the crystal can also be divided into size.
4 Growth defects: Some of the potholes on the surface of the crystal are deep and some are shallow. This is naturally formed by the crystal during its growth, not caused by humans.
The defect location originally contained other mineral crystals, but because the binding force between the inclusion and the crystal joint is not strong. When the surface is polished, the ore body falls off, leaving a vacant position. This defect is more common in green ghosts, titanium crystals, and blond crystals.
5 Damage: Damage refers to the damage caused by artificial damage caused by processing or accidental fall, collision, etc. It can be a break, a pit, etc.
Evaluation basis for crystal: The evaluation of crystal is mainly based on its color, transparency, size, clarity, special patterns and whether there is an optical effect. It is better to have pure color, high concentration and flawless interior.
Amethyst is the most expensive in types, followed by yellow crystals, smoke crystals, colorless crystals and hibiscus stones. Crystals with special optical effects are more expensive.
1 Color, transparency: Generally speaking, amethyst and yellow crystal are the most valuable varieties in crystals. The further classification of the two is based on the depth of their color. The darker ones are grade a, and the lighter ones are grade b.
Generally, darker colors are priced higher, but the standard is not dark. There are two colors, one is the color of the crystal itself, and the other is the color of the inner inclusion.
The color of the crystal itself should be bright, pure, and evenly distributed, not too deep or too shallow. For example, Australian jade, blue chalcedony, amethyst, and citrine, the price is high.
The colorless crystal contains the inclusions with bright colors and its price is also high, such as titanium crystals, green ghosts, and red rabbit hair. Amethyst is generally the best one with a slightly cloudy object, dark purple color and transparent crystals.
According to the transparency indicator, the more transparent the crystal is, the higher the price. The finished product produced by good transparent crystals is crystal clear and dazzling.
Crystals with high transparency can enhance the brightness of the color, otherwise they will appear dull and unspiritual. Optical crystals require full transparency, no double crystals, and no impurities. Craft crystals require transparency, few cracks and few defects. Smelted crystals require transparency and may have more cracks.
The value of the three is reduced in turn, and smelting crystal can only be used as raw materials for smelting crystal glass. Among craft crystals, those with larger crystals can be used to make crystal glasses and carve high-end handicrafts, so the price is higher.
2 Special patterns and inclusions: If the jade texture can form beautiful patterns, the price will be high. For example, the red and white color bands in the agate are arranged regularly. When the silk-wrapped agate is formed, the uneven colors in the jasper form a landscape pattern, the value of the material will increase.
When the inclusions in the crystal form beautiful patterns, such as ghost crystals, landscape crystals, or needle-like inclusions arranged in bundles, their value is higher than ordinary crystals. The more beautiful the pattern, the better the artistic conception.
The value of hair crystals depends on the color, rarity and size of hair. Generally, the hair color is bright and the price of large blocks is high. The value of water gall crystals mainly depends on the size of water gall and crystals, and the transparency. If water galls are large and have a certain shape, they can be processed into more precious handicrafts.
In addition, the water in the water gallbladder also has certain scientific research value. Through them, we can understand the composition and changes of water on the earth millions of years ago.
3 block size: The value of the crystal is also related to the block size. With the same color and clarity level, the larger the block, the more rare it is. Sometimes, although the mass level is lower, the block is large enough, and the price may be higher than that of a high-level small crystal.
4 Clarity: Colorless crystals are known for their crystalline beauty, cleanliness and transparency. The main measure of colorless crystals is to look at their purity. The purer the more transparent the better. Clean, flawless, and less impurities are of higher value. If colorless crystals are very dirty, they have no use value.
5 Texture: The fewer impurities and cracks, the better. For crystal products with good texture, there should be no gas-liquid inclusions distributed in star-like, cloud-like and floc-like shapes or particles that make up jade. If there are cracks and spots, they are defective.
6 Processing technology: Crystal and quartzite jade are medium and low-end gemstones. Although they are not as noble as diamonds and red sapphires, if they are ingenious in the processing and fine processing, they also have high value. For example, the traditional Chinese agate "shrimp plate", "dragon plate" and "water flooding gold mountains" (water gall agate ornaments) are all known as national gemstones.
The value of a crystal varies greatly depending on quality, size, beauty and output. When you encounter a good natural crystal, you must dare to start, but everyone generally wants to get a good crystal. Whether it is worth it or not depends on experience.
Due to the mining and production of natural crystals, it is difficult to obtain crystals without flaws. It is really rare to obtain pure jewelry to achieve quality comparable to synthetic crystals.
In addition, due to the characteristics of the crystal, its level will also be changed during the wear process. For example, for some reason, large cracks may gradually occur.
The ancient Greeks believed that crystal was a stone evolved by ice according to the will of God. Because it is crystal clear, transparent and flawless. When appreciating crystal, people remind people of clear, pure, and mountain springs and streams without any impurities, which is refreshing. Some people even believe that there is a mysterious power hidden in the crystal, which can bring happiness and health. Angels have always been used as a symbol of blessing, protection and prayer. Therefore, using this crystal angel as a wedding return gift, we can invite you and your guests to share this good news and good wishes.
Ancient Greece learned to believe that pure crystals can bring happiness and health, and have always been believed to hide mysterious power. And the zodiac crystals refined by Zhao Chaogang now make these fantasies a reality.
When Zhao Chaogang was still in jail, his relatives could be said to have helped his family wholeheartedly, whether from the financial perspective or the spiritual perspective, they all helped his family wholeheartedly, especially in terms of their own mother, which made Zhao Chaogang feel grateful.
When Zhao Chaogang was imprisoned, Liu Meiqing was deeply hit. She could have been said to have collapsed. If it weren't for the careful care of her aunts and aunts, and her wholehearted care, Zhao Chaogang really didn't know if her mother would be able to survive at that time. Therefore, Zhao Chaogang was sincerely grateful to her relatives.
Therefore, Zhao Chaogang had long wanted to repay these relatives. Whether as relatives or as relatives, Zhao Chaogang had to repay them sincerely for their selfless help to their family at that time.
Therefore, after Zhao Chaogang was released from prison, he first helped his relatives financially. Then, now, Zhao Chaogang has specially created some zodiac crystals. These zodiac crystals are not just very precious crystals, they are also a magic weapon.
Among these zodiac crystals, Zhao Chaogang sealed a large amount of spiritual energy, and carved a blood vessel sensing array and some protective arrays in these zodiac crystals.
As long as these relatives of Zhao Chaogang wear this crystal, they will definitely achieve a hundred times more skill when practicing martial arts in the future. As long as their relatives practice martial arts with great care, they will easily become innate warriors in the first ten years.
Once these relatives of his life become warriors in the innate stage, at a certain time, Zhao Chaogang will pass on some cultivation techniques to them.
Since I have obtained a small world and have countless cultivation techniques, it is natural to benefit my relatives.
In this way, Zhao Chaogang can not only repay the kindness of his relatives, but also receive a great help. Everyone has high fireworks and the strength of the team is always greater than that of the individual.
The protective formation engraved on the zodiac crystal can also protect Zhao Chaogang's relatives from harm. Now, as more and more people start practicing, warriors appear on the earth more and more frequently.
Although Zhao Chaogang is a cultivator, he still has the same view of ordinary people in his heart, many people begin to look down on ordinary people after becoming warriors and having more powerful than ordinary people. Therefore, when they get along with ordinary people, some very unpleasant things will happen. It can even be said directly that these warriors will use their power to suppress others.
When fighting with warriors, ordinary people will definitely suffer a great loss. Zhao Chaogang does not want his relatives to be threatened by these unscrupulous warriors or even injured by these unscrupulous warriors. These unscrupulous warriors actually appeared because of Zhao Chaogang, so it is necessary to give his relatives some precautions.
The crystal zodiac zodiac refined by Zhao Chaogang is a kind of protection for his relatives. With the zodiac crystal on his body, even if the innate warriors directly deal with their relatives, they can be safe and sound. Once someone takes action against their relatives, the blood-induced sensing formation that Zhao Chaogang refines on the zodiac crystal will make Zhao Chaogang sense this immediately. At that time, Zhao Chaogang can rescue his relatives in time.
It can be said that Zhao Chaogang is definitely sincere to his relatives and has made no regrets! (To be continued...)
