"Be careful, scrape it bit by bit!" Hou Mao Feng reminded him cautiously.
The process of cutting the stone was very important, or else a good quality stone might be damaged.
The gemcutter nodded. As a veteran, he couldn't help but feel nervous.
Of course, he was nervous because he was too excited. If he found a top-notch jade, his net worth would rise too!
Everyone looked at the delightful green through the window and couldn't help but discuss.
"This is the quality of the old pit glass type, and the color is very good too!"
"Of course, jade has always been green. This is apple green, and its price is second only to the imperial green!"
"If the color inside is even better, and there's an imperial green inside, even if it's just a small piece, it's still …"
"A small piece? You must be joking! Top-notch imperial green is priced by grams. The last time I went to Hong Kong's auction house, a ring surface was sold for more than 20 million HKD! It's been a few years since a top-notch imperial green was found in H City! "
…
The quality of jade usually depended on the "type", "color", and "head".
"Type" referred to the texture and structure of the jade. The finer the texture, the more crystal clear the jade would be. For example, the common terms in the market were glass type, ice type, glutinous type, bean type, etc. Among which, the glass type was the best. Other than that, there were also old types and new types. The old pit type was more valuable than the new type.
"Water" referred to the transparency of the jade. Although the quality of the jade usually had a higher transparency, sometimes the transparency was affected by the impurities inside the jade, such as whether the jade was clean or not, whether there was cotton, etc. Therefore, the higher the transparency, the higher the value. For example, the glass type was the most transparent jade.
"Color" referred to the color. There were all kinds of colors in jade, and sometimes the difference in color was ten times the price. Jade was green, and among the colors, there were emerald green, apple green, boxwood green, jade green, etc. Among them, emerald was also known as the imperial green, and its value was the highest.
No wonder everyone was so excited when they saw the color.
Soon, the gemcutter from Hui Cui Workshop started to cut the stone …
The gemcutter scraped along the edge bit by bit, and everyone couldn't bear to blink, afraid that they would miss the exciting scene.
"Water!" The gemcutter said.
The assistant at the side quickly washed the cut surface with water, and the cut area was finally revealed to everyone …
Looking at the raw stone after it was cut, everyone couldn't help but feel a little regretful.
Sure enough, it wasn't easy to find an imperial green.
The gemcutter continued to cut open the stone, carefully rubbing the skin of the huge stone in several places.
In the end, the more they rubbed, the more excited they became.
Although there wasn't any imperial jade, the areas that were rubbed were all green …
What did this prove?
This proved that it was very likely to be filled with jade!
"Although it's not imperial green, it's still very rare. After all, imperial green is not so easy to find!"
"That's right! Such a big stone, if it was all jade, how much would it be worth? "
"As expected of Hui Cui Workshop, it's amazing!"
…
The guests' eyes were glued to her.
At this moment, Xue Li looked at Ye Wanwan and gritted his teeth secretly. Waves of anger surged in his heart. If it wasn't for this woman, this piece of material would've been theirs by now!
"Miss Ye, are you satisfied now? Director Qin has studied the material for so long, how could it be wrong? "
The three experts from the Si family kept shaking their heads regretfully. "Ay, what a pity. Conservatively speaking, this piece of material would've increased by at least ten times. Looking at the situation now, after rubbing so many places, there's jade everywhere. It's not impossible for the price to increase by a hundred times …"
"Hahaha, Miss Ye, I really have to thank you!" Huang Shi Xin laughed heartily at Ye Wanwan when he heard the exclamations around him.
