Huang Longyu was originally called yellow wax stone. In the eyes of local people, there is the color of Tian Huang and the hardness of jade. Compared with nephrite such as Hetian jade, it has better hardness, higher transparency and brighter color. Because it was produced in Longling, and its color was mainly yellow, it was finally named Huang Longyu. Timely is a mineral resource with very stable physical and chemical properties. Quartz stone is the abbreviation of the plate produced by quartz stone plate manufacturers at present, so it is called quartz stone because its main component content is as high as 93% in time. Recently, the auction of strange stones in various places is competing for beauty, and Huanglongyu is still sought after by funds, and the price of the original stone is several million yuan; In contrast, the transaction prices of similar yellow wax stones and taishan jade are dwarfed, and most raw materials are sold at a unit price of several thousand yuan. But in fact, these strange stones with yellow texture and ordinary transparency belong to the immediate family of the same blood in geological structure, and there is no difference in texture value. For ordinary collectors, it's better to look for value depressions among their "relatives" than to pursue Huang Longyu at high prices. At the auction of strange stones held in Qingyuan last Friday, Huanglongyu, a strange stone from Yunnan, was much more active than all kinds of "native" jade in Guangdong. The unit price of raw stone is as high as 30 thousand yuan per kilogram, and many lots sell for hundreds of thousands and millions of yuan. In the same competition, the price per kilogram in taishan jade is only several thousand yuan, and the price of yellow wax stone is only several hundred yuan. Visiting the strange stone market in Guangfo and Foshan, it is found that the transaction price in Huang Longyu is 3-5 times that in taishan jade, and the price of yellow wax stone and epigraphy is 10 times. The price in Huang Longyu is three to five times that in taishan jade. Just from the appearance, ordinary collectors can't accurately distinguish taishan jade from Huanglongyu. Both of them belong to translucent semi-crystalline stone, with yellowish brown appearance, smooth skin, fine grain, loose pattern and no uniform grain pattern. There is no obvious "water head" difference between bean jadeite and glass jadeite. Xiang Xianbiao of Guangdi Jewelry said: Whether it is Huang Longyu, taishan jade or yellow wax stone, the theme composition is silica quartzite, and the texture difference is very small. It is not so much the difference of several different stone species as the difference of the same stone species. Different production conditions lead to slightly different combinations. For example, growing near water sources. In the seasonal combination, there are many water components, which makes it a Huang Longyu. If it grows on the mountain, the fiber will be coarser and it will become a low-grade yellow wax stone. Regional concept speculation widens the price distance. Then, why are the prices so different because they belong to the same family? Market participants believe that the speculation of regional concept is the most important reason to widen the price distance. In recent years, the collection market has heated up rapidly, and strange stones have been hyped with the concept of region; Collectors who are not familiar with geology think that there is a big difference, so they follow suit. From the flower, bird, fish and insect market in Fangcun, Guangzhou, it is known that today's stone collectors really attach great importance to the concept of region. When buying white jade, they must buy Xinjiang species, not Qinghai species. Asking about Huanglongyu also means that it is produced in Longling, Yunnan. The reason why "Huang Longyu" has become the object of capital speculation is mainly because it is located in Longling and has a "dragon" in its name, which conforms to the consumption psychology of China people in pursuit of good luck. But seven or eight years ago, Huang Longyu was not called by this name at all, but was called "yellow wax stone". His name changed two words, and his social status changed immediately. What is Huang Longyu's "next of kin"? What is Huang Longyu's next of kin? At present, only in Guangdong market, there are more than 65,438+00 kinds of strange stones with shapes similar to those of Huang Longyu. The famous ones are yellow wax stone and electric white gold stone in taishan jade and Hezhou. In terms of texture, taishan jade is most similar to Huang Longyu. Quartz stone has fine fibers and golden and moist color. There is no difference in appearance between taishan jade and Huanglongyu. There are many brown stripes in middle and low grade taishan jade, and the gloss is not as good as that in Huang Longyu. From the price point of view, the price of raw stone in Huang Longyu is 3~5 times that of taishan jade, and it is still in the process of strong rise, and the price of taishan jade after 20 10 also rises rapidly. At present, the price of yellow wax stone and epigraphy is hard to find, and it is still in a "depression". The price of raw stone is mainly several hundred yuan, and the transaction price of high-grade goods is only several thousand yuan. It is worth noting that although the trading in Huang Longyu is active, the price of its finished products has not risen as rapidly as rumored. From 20 1 1 to 20 12, the market has entered a high consolidation period. It's just that the price of raw stone continues to soar. At present, the price per kilogram is more than 30,000 to 50,000 yuan, which is still on the rise. The prices of ornaments, seals, jewelry pendants and other products that have been processed and shaped in Guangzhou market are several thousand yuan and ten thousand yuan, which are not much higher than those of yellow wax stones in taishan jade and Hezhou, and are basically in a price range.
