For those who like bracelets and Wan Wen, frequent visits to jewelry stores are their best choice. A few days ago, when Ms. Zhang was shopping, she met a beautiful bracelet and attracted her. This is a bracelet called "Shu Du Lai", with purple luster and unique style that people can't put it down. Shu Zulai Stone is still a stranger to ordinary Tibetan friends in our city. It is a gem that sells well in the field of collection in recent years.
Where did the Laishi in Shudu come from? How can I become the new favorite of collectors? Yesterday, the reporter visited some shopping malls in our city and many jewelry stores such as Student Road and Heping Street. It is understood that Shu Zulai stone is a kind of jade, also known as "Millennium stone". In 1960s, a Japanese geologist discovered that Shuzulai stone belongs to a new kind of ore compared with ruby, sapphire and crystal, and its producing area is relatively small. At present, there are only China, South Africa, Japan, Canada and Canada in the world. "Like other gems, color, moisture and transparency are all important factors affecting the value of Shudulai stone." The owner of a shop on Student Road said that the colors of the stone in Shudu are roughly divided into dark blue, red purple and blue purple, and the state is transparent, translucent and opaque. Among them, royal purple and cherry blossom powder are the most valuable colors, and translucent and transparent cherry blossom powder is the most rare. Elegant and comfortable stones can make people fall in love at first sight.
It is understood that Shu Du Lai Shi is called a national treasure in South Africa. In the past two years, due to export restrictions in South Africa, its price has been rising all the way, becoming a star variety in the jewelry and jade industry. "In the past six months, the price of raw materials for Shujulai stone has increased by about 30%, and the price of its finished products has increased even more, doubling that of last year." A shopkeeper said.
The biggest misunderstanding for consumers to buy Lai Shi in Shudu is that it is difficult to distinguish it from Zilongjing. In fact, the biggest difference between the two is the pattern. According to an industry insider, the pattern of purple dragon crystal is strip-shaped, similar to dragon pattern, while the stripe of Shudu Laishi is block-shaped, mostly in the shape of cherry petals.
The proliferation of counterfeit goods is a big problem in the jewelry and jade market, and Shu Zulai has not escaped the bad luck of being copied. At present, the market is full of a large number of dyed fake Shudu Laishi, and the best way to identify its authenticity is to look at the color. According to insiders, most fake stones are dyed purple, with floating colors and dull luster, and the price is below 100 yuan. In addition, it is worth noting that because many characteristics of Shu Zulai stone are similar to jade and jadeite, its color and touch will change with the wearer's mood and health, especially the Shu Zulai stone with high transparency, which changes faster. Generally, jade and jadeite ornaments will not change until they are worn for at least 3 years, but only a few weeks after they are worn, which is one of the ways to distinguish their authenticity.
