What is a gambling stone?

What's a bet stone?

The gambling stone of jadeite is actually the original stone of jadeite.

Gambling stones or gambling products means that when jade is mined, it is wrapped in weathered leather bags, and it is impossible to know whether it is good or bad. The jade that needs to be cut is called gambling stone. The jadeites produced by the old factory are all skinned, but the water stone jadeite produced by the river bed is also the jadeite of the old factory, with thin skin or no skin. Most jadeites produced by the new factory have no skin, while those produced by the slope layer have skin. The thickness of the epidermis mainly depends on the weathering degree. The higher the weathering degree, the thicker the epidermis. A piece of jadeite raw material has a colored skin and a good surface. When you cut the first knife, you see green, but when you cut the second knife, it may disappear. This is also common. Where you leave the jade mine, the gambling rate is only one in ten thousand (referring to pigments), and the probability of gambling in the jade mine is much higher. Bet on a handful of jade and get rich overnight, but most of them end in failure. Advise people who play with jade to be careful when betting on stones.

There are two kinds of raw stones of jadeite: mountain materials and clay materials.

Mountain materials are directly collected from jade mines, with no skin, irregular shape, many cracks, rough and loose structure and poor quality, so they are not gambling stones.

In the material, that is, the gravel of jade. This is formed when jadeite, a kind of rock, is weathered and crushed and rolled down the hillside and brought into ravines or rivers by floods or rivers. According to the quality of jadeite and the thickness of skin, raw materials can be divided into three types: water, soil and water returning to sand. In the process of rolling transportation, the edges and corners of jadeite raw ore fragments are rounded, and the original cracked or loose parts are worn off or collapsed. At the same time, the surface is weathered into skins with different thicknesses, so that jade fragments become approximately round or oval gravel wrapped by skins. Gravel is large and small, with thousands or even tens of thousands of tons, as small as a thumb.

All the raw materials have a layer of skin with different thickness, and the depth of the skin is different. This is because when the epidermis is formed by surface weathering and erosion, the impurities contained in the epidermis are different and the external geological environment is different, so the color of the epidermis is also diversified. The basic colors of jadeite skin are white, yellow, red, brown, brown, gray and black. Generally, the color is light, and the color boundary is not obvious, but it is often manifested as: pale white, grayish white, yellow white, light yellow, khaki, beige, dark yellow, yellow red and so on.

In the jade raw material trading market, most of them are raw materials, that is, jade gravel. Because there is a weathering crust on the gravel surface, we can't see the inside. People can only infer the quality of jadeite in gambling stones according to the characteristics of the crust and local "gates" and their own experience. This makes it difficult to identify the quality of jade raw materials in the transaction of jade raw materials. This kind of transaction is quite similar to gambling, so people call jadeite raw materials with skins gambling stones, gambling materials or gambling goods, which is also called gambling stones. Since it is gambling, no one can be sure to win, even experienced experts will inevitably have wrong ideas, and the risks are considerable. However, the excitement, mystery and pleasure of gambling drive many people to engage in gambling stone industry. So some people get rich overnight, and they can instantly become millionaires from street hooligans; Some people can go bankrupt in an instant, from a millionaire to a pauper. This happens all the time.

The essentials of gambling on stones and the withdrawal of factories

Gambling of jadeite jade

No one can see what is in the unopened jadeite except the shape, weight and appearance. Only by cutting can we have a real conclusion. People who bet on stones repeatedly guess and judge according to their own experience and performance on the leather shell. When two or more people put forward different opinions, they will gamble and cut stones, which is called "cutting stones" or "cutting stones" in the industry. After cutting, a good water green color appears, which is called "rising" and vice versa. Gambling stones is a concrete manifestation of gambling financial resources, wisdom, courage and personality.

Types of gambling stones

1, gambling fog is a film with different thickness between the outer cover and the bottom chapter. Fog should be thin and transparent, mainly betting on white fog and yellow fog. Mist is wrong and you lose.

2. Gambling mainly depends on the entrance, because the stones at each entrance are different. If you bet on the wrong entrance, you may lose.

3, gambling cracking mainly bets on whether the stone is cracked, and if it is cracked, it will lose.

4, the meaning of the bottom is the bottom chapter, the term is called meat head, mainly the cleanliness and thickness of the bottom, if the bottom is thick, black and messy, even if the bet is lost.

5. Bet on the color in the jade meat. Without color, you lose. The main bet is that the color is green, and the green is green. The more you think about it, the more you want to live.

Gambling method

1. Rubbing stones is an ancient law, effective and safe. Because the correct part cannot be found, it will be cut next. If you move blindly, you will "solve" the green and lose it easily. Rubbing stones mainly look at fog, bottom and color. Because of the rubbing mouth, it can shine inward to judge the depth, width and shade of green. The order of rubbing stones is: one rubbing, two rubbing, three rubbing tinea and four rubbing pine flowers. There is only one purpose of wiping stones, that is, to find true green.

2. Cut the stone jargon: if it is rubbed, it will not rise, and if it is cut, it will rise. Cutting stones is the most critical step in gambling. The conclusion of winning or losing is that stones can only be identified after being cut. Some people who gamble on stones, as long as the stones are polished, will sell them and let others gamble. Because if you continue to wipe or cut with a knife, the risk will be greater, and the ups and downs will only be between the slightest. It can be seen that the stone cutting is serious. One is the original cutting method, which uses a bow saw to press the sand and slowly saws the stone. If it is found that it is impossible to continue cutting, it is convenient to take rescue measures. Another is to use a jade cutting machine to cut the blade with diamond sand layer, which is accurate and fast, but the fixture is immersed in oil or water with stones, so it is not easy to see the cutting process, and you can only know whether you win or lose if you cut it completely. When you cut the stone head, you must first find the right position. Generally, stones can be cut from the mouth, or from the mouth, or from pine flowers, or along cracks. When the color of the first knife is not visible, you can also cut the second knife and the third knife. In jargon, one knife is poor and one knife is rich, which is the truth.

3, grindstone grindstone is used for polishing, to fully show the transparency, let people see its good color or water. There are two gambling methods for grinding stones, one is dark gambling (blind gambling), and the stone has no scratches and natural fractures at all. Second, half-bright and half-gambling, that is, there are bumps, scratches or small gaps on the stone, and the color or bottom water of some stone species can already be seen, but other parts are not known, which is more gambling.

A neighborhood with strong gambling ability

The premise of gambling must be good entrance, good sofa and good performance, otherwise gambling is useless. It is better to buy and sell. Here are some famous blocks certified by experts as high gambling and reliability.

Black Wusha of old Pagan: Black Wusha of Pagan is its representative stone species. The sofa is powerful, the skin is black as paint, the white sheath is prominent, there are pine flowers on the sheath, tinea on the skin, fog under the skin and clear colors. This is the true performance of Gao Cai. If these conditions are met, there is hope for gambling.

Houjiangchang mouth sill stone: the bottom stone in Houjiangchang area has thin skin, complete wax shell and sufficient water head in the bottom chapter. In particular, garlic shells are iron dragons, which are white and red. As long as it is cracked and tiny, it will go up as soon as it is gambled. If the teacher has purple, he can't gamble, because the purple is impregnated with green, which makes him lose his rich and vivid emerald.

Thin-skinned water stone in Mamuwan: the skin is as thin as paper, the skin is sallow, and the skin is thin and thick. You can see the bottom without strong light. Although there are tiny cracks, as long as you look at the green from the bottom, distinguish the old varieties, and the color is stable and gorgeous, you will win the bet.

Damakan Mountain and Water Stone: This kind of stone has yellow shell, yellow fog, thin skin and strong gambling. You can't gamble if you are thick-skinned and see flowers in the fog. The bottom of the bet is short of grey water, green and often blue, and there is no rebound. Although the water stone part can see color, it does not enter the room. The eating part is pine flowers, and the colors are generally not connected.

Emerald mining in Myanmar

A long time ago, Burmese people could not dig out large pieces of jade from the soil. They often burn wood blocks thoroughly with firewood, pour cold water on them to make them explode, and then pick up green fragments. Because cutting is time-consuming and laborious, this method is often used to break large pieces dug out of the ground. Myanmar is an agricultural country with few advanced digging machines. Today, except for a few potholes that use hydraulic drills, most of them still use ancient manual excavation. Instead of exploring, they rely on experience and luck to find better varieties. They have no idea. They believe that jade has aura, and as long as they are lucky, they can find good jade. Although it is very hard, people are still the same year after year.

The mining time in Myanmar mining area is from September of the lunar calendar to April of the following year. The rest is rainy season, potholes and hot climate, which makes life and excavation very difficult. Every dry season, groups of jade workers spontaneously go up the mountain to find the boss, choose the entrance, and dig deep underground with pickaxe crowbar like a well. If they dig a stone, the small one will be sent to the ground to distinguish, and the big one will wash away the soil with water, carefully judge whether it is jade or not, and then lift it to the ground with all its strength. If it is not good or jade, they will avoid the stone and continue to dig deep. People call this method "digging a hole".

Another method is called "opening a pond", in which the jade digger digs a pit the size of a fish pond horizontally instead of deep development. Digging and looking for stones. This method is often used in new sites.

The third method is "seedling flushing". Jade diggers think that the soil layer on the ground is thin, so they use a water pump to divert water and wash it. If they find stones exposed, they will dig them out at once. This method is often used in nanometer field.

The fourth is the "salvage method". Jade diggers, armed with ventilation hoses, goggles and waterproof mirrors, dive into rivers and ponds to identify broken stones and jade, and then salvage them to the ground to identify the pros and cons and decide to abandon them. This method is still used in fields along the Irrawaddy River.

The Field and Mouth of Burmese Emerald

Burmese jadeite is produced in the northeast of the country, adjacent to Yunnan Province, China. The mining area runs through the Ulu River basin and is sandwiched between Gaoligong Mountain and Bagaibeng Mountain. It is 70km long from north to south and 20km wide from east to west, with an area of1.400km2.. The mineral processing center is in Longken. It is 36km from Myitkyina/Kloc-0, 360km from Tengchong, China and 0/200km from Chiang Mai, Thailand. There are three main mining areas, namely, old mining area, Houjiang mining area and small mining area.

The mining area has a hot climate with an average annual rainfall of about 4000mm. Spring and summer are the wettest days, which brings inconvenience to work. Therefore, mining and field trading are carried out in autumn and winter. After every Mid-Autumn Festival, people from all walks of life poured into the camp separately, including jade diggers, jade sellers, treasure hunters and various businessmen. At the climax, it can reach more than 200 thousand, and the scene is chaotic Since the 1960s, this situation has intensified.

There are at least two kinds of jadeite mining history in Myanmar for many years. There used to be ups and downs, but now it is still in the ascendant. With the large output of jadeite, the area of the field is expanding and the field mouth is increasing. Now the mining area has been expanded to Heping in the east and Sequoia forest in the west, with a length of about 240 kilometers. From Wenduo in the south to Laban in the north, it is about170km wide. There are more than 0/00 potholes in three major fields, and more than 70 well-known potholes.

The old site, including Paganchang, Damanchang and Xinchang, is located in the upper, middle and lower reaches of the Wulu River, with the earliest discovery and mining time, the largest scope and the largest number of sites. It is the main producing area of Burmese jadeite.

Paganchang area is an alluvial or eluvial deposit located in the middle reaches of the Ulu River, and its mining time began in the first century. At present, the deepest pit has reached the fifth floor, about 30 meters deep. The blocks from the first floor are almost all yellow sand shells, the second floor is mostly red sand shells with wax skin, the third floor is black sand shells, the fourth floor is gray-black shells, and the fifth floor is white-yellow shells with wax skin. There are obvious differences between blocks in the field, and the difference is not easy. Only by understanding the characteristics of each field and remembering their own characteristics can we strive for perfection and make accurate judgments. The main entrances of this station are: Laopagan, Mamuwan, Huika, Shangdangqiao, Dagudi, Chitongka, Gramo, Mengmao, Dongguo, Mana, Jiebenqiong, Molaogeng, Xiandong, Xianggong, Qiongpiao, Nanying, Yuma, Geyinqiong, Dongmo, Gramova and Paer.

Damakan mine field is located in the lower reaches of the Wulu River and in the west of the old mine field. It belongs to alluvial deposit, and its mining time is about 200 years later than Paganchang. There are nearly 20 famous entrances, represented by the entrance of Damakan, and the excavation depth reaches the fifth floor, and most of them are semi-water stones in Guanshan. The famous venues are: Damakan, Ba Huang, Mojidi, Quebing, Mo Long Base, Dasanka, Nanxili, Nansaibing, Northwest China, Zhuoyinggong, Nayadong, Meilinqiang, Kumar and Danxiu.

Xinchang area is located in the upper reaches of the Wulu River, east of the old area, and was mined earlier. This is a supergene deposit, and jadeite blocks can be obtained without deep excavation, but most of them have no hard shell and belong to primary deposits. People used to call the stones here new field stones, hence the name new field area. The new site has many pits, but it has the shortest service time and is easy to be abandoned. Relatively stable locations are Damobia, Xiao Mo, Gedimo, Bogon, Moxisha, Bannon, Martha, Sankamo, Calamo, Sanktang and Mobanwa.

Houjiangchang District, Houjiang is a tributary of the north side of Lu Wu, named Kangdijiang. Emerald mining area is located on the riverside, so it is called Houjiangchang area. It is also an alluvial deposit, which was mined late and had a large area in the early 16th century. This includes two areas: Houjiang and Namo. Although the two places are not far apart, the jadeite blocks produced are quite different. The blocks produced in Houjiangchang District are generally about 300 grams, with many products, excellent texture, thin upper shell and excellent humor. At present, the excavation depth has exceeded the sixth floor, about 30 meters deep. There are barriers on the third and fourth floors. The situation of the first two floors is similar to that of the old yard. The block shells in the sixth floor are almost all yellow wax shells, and the interlayer after the sixth floor is relatively thick, so the ore yield is low at present. The main venues are: Mo Long, Bistu, Gemulin, Padman, Gangmo, Modongguo, Modi, Jiaying, Buguedo and Geqingmo.

Namo is Burmese, which means thunder. This field is also called a minefield, and the resulting block is called a thunderstone. The site is located in the upper reaches of Kangdi, mostly supergene mines, with poor fragmentation, many cracks, poor bottom water hardness and loose texture, and most of them cannot be cut and made. Although it is green, most of it belongs to variant stones, and its value is very low. The reason for the variation of radar stone needs to be further explored from the origin to see if the lower layer can change, hoping to produce authentic jadeite. In recent years, people gradually have a new view on this field. At the beginning of 1992, a piece of high-quality land as huge as a house was found on this site, which was like a miracle and caused a sensation for a while. At present, the only representative venues are Namo, Qinlan Gang and Menglan Gang.

Xiaochang District is located in the south of Lu Wu River, with an area of about 45 square kilometers, which is three times larger than Houjiang District. Because there are not many entrances, people call it Xiaochang District. This is a primary mineral deposit, and the postal service has produced many high-quality jadeites, which is an indispensable part of the entire jadeite mining area in Myanmar. The deepest entrance of this field has been controlled to the fourth floor, and most of them are black blocks and waxed shells. The most famous entrances are Nanqi, Nanmo, Liu Mo, Shimo, Mohan, Nanxiong, Wuqi Palace, Nahei, Tongdong, Liu Mo and Mogdi.
