Everyone was a little dumbfounded when they looked at the contents in the box.
"What is this piece?"
"Such a big piece, it can't be sapphire."
"Look, there's a dragonfly inside."
"Oh my god! Is this amber?"
Li Tianhe, Li Ying, Li Nianying, Wang Siya, Wang Zhuo and everyone around them were stunned when they saw clearly the dragonfly inside the blue transparent object. They couldn't believe their eyes. This was the first time they had seen such a large transparent object. Insect amber.
"Such a big piece of transparent amber? How is it possible?"
"The dragonflies inside are so lifelike. They are much prettier than the slimy lumps of mosquitoes and flies inside ordinary amber."
"This is unscientific. If a dragonfly is stuck with resin, it will definitely struggle. The more it struggles, the uglier its posture becomes. How can it maintain the graceful posture of flying?"
"Incredibly perfect, could this be some imitation of modern craftsmanship?"
"Uncle, can you let me take a closer look?" A middle-aged man with a square face walked forward excitedly. Many people present knew this man. He is Li Tianhe's nephew, surnamed Mao, and he is a professional appraiser. He couldn't help but admire some important treasures.
Li Tianhe was also attracted by the blue amber. He came back to his senses when he heard the voice of the middle-aged man with a square face. He first looked at Su Jing inquiringly, and when Su Jing nodded without mind, he smiled and said: "Xiao Bin , then take a good look and don’t look away.”
"Okay." The square-faced middle-aged man stepped forward, took out a magnifying glass and other tools, and examined it carefully. His face turned red with excitement. It was even more expensive than when he saw the set of antiques worth tens of millions given by Zhao Qifeng. He became more excited, "Oh my God, this must be real amber. It's incredible. Mr. Su, where did you get this amber? It's incredible. Wait, this must be a dream..."
"Xiao Bin, calm down, no matter how old you are, you are still irritable and you are not afraid of people's jokes." Li Nianying laughed and scolded.
"Cousin, you don't know how precious this thing is, and you can't calm down even if you know it." The square-faced middle-aged man said excitedly.
"Then tell me, why is it so precious? How much is it worth?" Li Nianying asked, a little surprised by her cousin's reaction. After all, her cousin is well-informed. What kind of treasures have she never seen? I just saw Zhao Qifeng give it to me. The set of antiques worth tens of millions are very calm.
"This thing cannot be measured by money at all. It is simply priceless. If it is sold at an auction house, I estimate it can easily exceed tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions." said the square-faced middle-aged man.
Not only were these words beyond Li Nianying's expectations, but Li Ying, Li Tianhe, Wang Siya, and Wang Zhuo couldn't help but take a deep breath. Zhao Qifeng and Zhao Yuan narrowed their eyes. Everyone thought they had heard wrong. Hundreds of millions? How can it be
"Xiao Bin, are you kidding me?" Li Ying looked shocked.
"It's no joke. There are definitely many wealthy collectors who are willing to spend huge sums of money for it." The square-faced middle-aged man was so excited that he explained it to everyone in detail very quickly.
As we all know, amber is the resin drop of coniferous plants. It has been buried underground for thousands of years and petrified under the action of pressure and heat. Therefore, it is also called "resin fossil" or "rosin fossil". Because of its age and rarity, even ordinary amber is valuable. Some relatively rare ambers are easily more expensive than gold.
There are six main factors that affect the value of amber.
The first is authenticity. Needless to say, only genuine products are precious, and imitations are of little value.
The second is to be big. For collecting any gems and scarce resources, being big is always the truth that the value can be preserved. Especially for amber raw material collection, large size and regular shape are very important. Sometimes amber is not twice as expensive as it is twice its size, but sometimes it is two or three times more expensive. Most of the transparent ambers like this are small pieces, about three kilograms are extremely rare.
Third, there are insects and plants. The more complete and clear the insects and plants, the more valuable they are. For collectors and investors, only amber containing rare organisms or plants is worth collecting. If amber treasures are rare, then the proportion of amber insects should be tens of thousands. Due to the compression of the earth's crust, amber insects are very small, and most can only be seen clearly through a magnifying glass. Nowadays, there are very few amber insects that can be seen clearly with the naked eye. As for the piece of amber given by Su Jing, the dragonfly inside is so big and lifelike that even an 800-degree myopic eye can see it clearly, let alone the ordinary naked eye.
Fourth, it has content and scenery. Natural gemstones are the most beautiful in their rich content given by God. If these contents form a colorful natural picture, they will certainly be worth a lot of money. This piece of amber looks like a blue sky, with a few white clouds floating in the sky, and dragonflies spreading their wings and flying in the sky. The scenery is so beautiful that no matter who sees it, they can't help but fall in love with it.
Fifth is clarity. As with any gemstone, clarity is very important. This piece of amber given by Su Jing is perfect in terms of clarity, almost surpassing all ambers. It is simply unreasonable that such a large piece can be as flawless as glass.
Sixth, color. Blue is a rare color in amber and is worth collecting.
In short, this piece of dragonfly blue amber is the best in every aspect. On the one hand, it is hard to come by if it is the best. If it is the best in all aspects, it is a rare treasure that is unique and can be found anywhere in the world. No second piece. Such a rare treasure can no longer be measured according to the market price, how much it costs per gram. It has exceeded the market price. It can be expected that many rich people are willing to spend a lot of money for it.
"So this dragonfly amber is so valuable."
"The more I look at it, the more I like it. I really want to keep a piece of it for appreciation."
"This Su Jing is indeed well-deserved. She is really a gift-giving madman."
"Originally I had some objections to his nickname of the gift-giving madman, but now I'm convinced."
"Isn't it painful that you have the heart to give away such a top-notch product?"
Yes, many people present felt heartache for Su Jing, even Wang Siya and Wang Zhuo were no exception. Although they said from the beginning that they must give away treasures and not be stingy, this treasure exceeded their imagination. Looking at this dragonfly Lan Amber, they couldn't help but want to collect it themselves, and they were so entangled in their hearts. This is not a question of money. Even if you have money, you can't buy this kind of rare treasure.
"Xiao Su, this gift is really..." Even the well-informed Li Tianhe was a little embarrassed, don't accept it, I really like it so much, accept it, it's too precious. When ordinary people give gifts worth hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars, he doesn't pay much attention to them. It is equivalent to ordinary people receiving gifts worth dozens of yuan, which is normal. At most, reciprocity is the best way to return a gift of equal value. However, priceless treasures are a different matter. There is no way to return the gift. Once this gift is received, it is just a favor.
"Uncle Li, this is just a gadget I got accidentally. Just accept it." Su Jing smiled lightly, making many people want to complain. Don't call rare treasures a gadget. Okay, don’t bring something so exciting.
But in fact, to Su Jing, this is indeed a gadget. This piece of blue amber was a piece of garbage from the time and space of "The Change of Stars". It was originally engraved with a few crooked characters - Xiang Tianbao. It was basically a child's toy. Later, Su Jing asked someone to erase the writing. In addition to this piece of blue amber, Su Jing later found several pieces of amber. In comparison, this piece of blue amber was the most common.
