Chapter 1298: Crystal Pendant

The wedding gift of the wall calendar is a kind of wedding gift that comes with the exhibition of modern society, but for Chinese, the most representative wedding gift is the wedding cake gift box, which has been passed down in China for thousands of years...... Read the latest and most complete novels

The wedding cake gift box in the wedding gift is different from the ordinary sugar cake gift box (such as birthdays, birthdays, etc., there will also be candy cake gift boxes in these festive days), usually large in size, and there is a luxurious packaging, and this packaging can be reused.

For example, it can be used as a container for small objects, or as an outer packaging for wrapping gifts. Such gift boxes will contain high-end candies and wedding cakes.

This kind of gift box can be used as a game prize, but also as a gift for important guests, some guests may not be able to attend the wedding, can not come to the wedding drink, so send a bag of magnificent candy, wedding cakes to share the happiness of the newlywed with them.

Zhao Chaogang, Li Liping, and Liu Jingjing prepared the high-end candy and cakes in the gift box of the candy cakes prepared by Zhao Chaogang himself, and the candy cakes made by himself are more sincere, and to be honest, the delicious cakes made by Zhao Chaogang are higher than the delicious cakes of the highest-end sugar cakes bought outside.

Besides, even if the candy cakes made by Zhao Chaogang are not as good as those high-end candy cakes bought outside, at least the hygienic condition of the sugar cakes made by Zhao Chaogang is definitely far better than those sold outside.

Now in order to earn enough profits, there is nothing that those merchants dare not do. Even the milk powder that children drink is made with toxic chemicals like melamine. There's nothing that those black-hearted merchants can't do.

The candy cake gift box prepared by Zhao Chaogang is not only a delicious candy cake, but inside, Zhao Chaogang is also based on the distance of the relationship between the two parties. Prepare some different kinds or different amounts of pills.

For example, those who are just business partners in the Jingjing family, in the gift box of candy cakes prepared by Zhao Chaogang, there is only a small bottle of the most basic Xiaohuandan, and the number in it is not much, only eight.

And if the relationship is closer, like Zhao Chaogang. Li Liping, Liu Jingjing's friends or classmates in Anxi City. Although the number and type of pills in the gift box have not changed much, the pills inside have changed, and the pills inside are the inferior small pills.

Of course. There is a difference. For classmates like Cai Chanjuan and Qin Lei, the pill that Zhao Chaogang prepared for them was a medium-grade Xiaohuandan, and there were eighteen of them.

There are also those relatives of Zhao Chaogang who got the same number of pills and pills, as well as Shi Zhengming, Sheng Zheng, and Zheng Qiushi, who are friends in the officialdom.

It's not that Zhao Chaogang is stingy and refuses to give his relatives better and more pills. Zhao Chaogang did not give his relatives better and more pills. The main reason is for the safety of these relatives.

You must know that Zhao Chaogang now has many relatives (including Liu Jingjing and Li Liping's relatives), they are all ordinary people, if they are known, in their hands, there are a lot of high-grade pills, this is not to help them, but to harm them.

People who are too greedy will not be afraid of life and death, and come to steal or take away these pills. At that time, Zhao Chaogang was beyond the reach of the whip at all, and Zhao Chaogang's ordinary relatives encountered these dangers, and the ending would definitely not be very good.

Therefore, the types and quantities of pills that Zhao Chaogang gave to his relatives were actually very ordinary, just such a number and types of pills, coupled with his own careful advice, I believe that these relatives of his would not have any trouble coming to the door.

For these relatives of his own, Zhao Chaogang didn't want to do bad things with good intentions.

The candy cake gift box is a traditional wedding gift that our Chinese have inherited for thousands of years, so Zhao Chaogang is very well prepared, but there is another gift in the wedding return gift prepared by Zhao Chaogang, that is, the crystal pendant of the zodiac zodiac refined by Zhao Chaogang.

Crystal (rockcrysta1), a rare mineral, a kind of gemstone, quartz crystal, belongs to the quartz group in mineralogy, the main chemical component is silicon dioxide, the chemical formula is private O2, when pure, it forms a colorless and transparent crystal, when it contains trace elements A1, Fe, etc., it is purple, yellow, brown, etc., and the irradiation of trace elements forms different types of color centers, producing different colors, such as purple, yellow, brown, pink, etc.

Containing associated inclusions of minerals are called inclusion crystals, such as crystals, green ghosts, etc., and the inclusions are rutile, tourmaline, actinolite, mica, chlorite, etc.

Crystal (rockcrysta1) is a quartz crystalline mineral, its main chemical component is silica, and the chemical formula is private O2. Western countries believe that as long as it is transparent, it is crystal (crysta1), so the word crystal includes colorless transparent glass (K9 class, ordinary glass blue), and also includes natural crystal ore.

The ancient Chinese crystal names are more than 10 kinds of names such as water spirit, water blue, water jade, and spar, which are purified in the "He Han Sancai Tuhui".

Therefore, in order to facilitate distinction, the international usually (rockcrysta1) refers specifically to natural crystals.

A well-cultivated single crystal is a hexagonal cone, so it is usually a block or granular aggregate, generally colorless, gray, milky white, and purple, red, smoke, tea, etc. when containing other mineral elements.

When the crystallization of silica is perfect, it is crystal, and when the crystallization is imperfect, it is quartz: after silica gelatinization and dehydration, it is agate, and when the colloidal body containing water in silica solidifies, it becomes opal, and when the silica grain is less than a few microns, it forms chalcedony, flint, and secondary quartzite.

Mineral composition: goethite, hematite, rutile, magnetite, tourmaline, garnet, mica, chlorite, etc. form inclusions crystals, such as crystals, titanium crystals, green ghosts, etc., and crystals contain inclusions of needle-like minerals visible to the naked eye.

Those containing manganese and iron are called amethyst, those containing iron (golden yellow or lemon color) are called citrine, those containing manganese and titanium are rose-colored are called rose quartz, that is, pink crystal, smoke-colored ones are called smoky quartz, brown ones are called citrine, and black transparent ones are called ink quartz.

Structure and morphology: Crystal crystals with perfect crystals belong to the trigonal crystal system. Often hexagonal crystals, cylindrical striated culture. The cylinder is pointed at one end or two at the end, and a number of long cylinders are connected together, commonly known as crystal clusters, which are beautiful and spectacular, and the shape can be described as a thousand postures.

Optical properties: Color: The color of the crystal can be colorless, purple, yellow, pink, green, blue and different degrees of brown until black.

Gloss and transparency: glass luster, fracture can have grease luster. Transparent, with the increase of inclusions or the deepening of the color of colored crystals. Reduced transparency.

Photogenicity: One-axis crystal positive photogenicity, the one-axis crystal interference pattern seen under orthogonal polarization is unique, and its black cross arm does not reach the center. A hollow pattern is formed, commonly known as a bull's-eye interferogram. The central part is usually pale green or pale pink.

Refractive index and birefringence index: refractive index 1., birefringence index o.oo9. Dispersion o.o13.

Pleochroism: Colorless crystals do not have pleochroism. Colored crystals have weak to strong pleochroism.

Mechanical properties: cleavage: no cleavage, with typical shell-like fractures. Cleavage refers to the property of a mineral that cracks regularly in a certain direction to form a smooth plane when it is struck.

According to the process of cleavage, it can be divided into five categories: extremely complete cleavage, complete cleavage, medium cleavage, incomplete cleavage, and no cleavage. Crystals belong to the non-cleavage.

Hardness: 7 on the Mohs scale. It is Mohs hardness, which is equivalent to the hardness of a steel file.

Density: 2.66(o.o3,o.o2)g/cm3. This means that the weight of a certain volume of crystal is 2.2 times the weight of the same volume of water, and the density of the block variant crystal may be slightly higher.

Piezoelectricity: When the crystal is subjected to pressure, it will produce an electric charge, and conversely, when it is subjected to voltage, the crystal will produce a very frequent vibration. Crystals have the ability to transfer pressure and charge to each other, which is called piezoelectricity.

Sleep strip color: colorless, the color of mineral powder is called streak, it can eliminate false color, weaken other color. The preservation of self-color is one of the more reliable identification characteristics than the color of minerals.

Transparency criteria: Crystal transparency is related to the quality and quantity of light passing through it. When the light is transparent over crystal fragments or flakes with a thickness of more than 1 cm, the reflected image can be clearly seen. If the base image is not clear enough and only the outline is visible, it is translucent.

Crystal luster: glass luster, grease luster at the fracture.

Luster, an optical property of light reflected on the surface of a gemstone. Crystals do not reflect beautiful star-shaped stripes like star sapphires and star gemstones, nor do they shine like moonstones, nor do they shine like opals.

Observe the luster of the crystal, you can hold it in your hand, and see the reflection of the surface with the light cast by the light or the window, the brightness of the transparent crystal is related to the strength of the luster.

Crystals are mostly underground, in caves, need to have a rich source of groundwater, groundwater contains saturated silica, and the pressure needs to be about two to three times the atmospheric pressure, the temperature needs to be between 55o-6ooc, and then given the appropriate time, the crystal will be in accordance with the natural law of the hexagonal crystal system, and crystallize into a hexagonal columnar crystal.

In general, in an ideal environment controlled by man-made, that is, under the condition that the physical and chemical conditions meet the above conditions, the raw length of crystals is about o.8 millimeters (mm) per day. This is also the standard production level of many man-made crystal chambers and factories.

The crystals thus cultivated are the so-called artificial crystals (syntheticquartz), which are usually cut into chips for the use of electronics, computers, and communication industries, and are also called cu1tivatedquartz (cu1turedquatrtz), although they use different terms, but they actually talk about the same thing.

Generally, the thickness of artificial crystal for industrial use is about three centimeters, that is, 3omm, and it takes about 4o days to grow, and if it is used for the jewelry industry to grind into crystal balls of more than 10 centimeters (1oomm), it usually takes about 12o~18o days.

However, this is all in the most ideal environment under human control. It is possible to have such a degree, and in nature, the situation is not so optimistic. Because the conditions of raw materials, water quality, temperature, pressure, etc., are constantly changing, it is difficult to achieve the ideal situation, and it usually takes tens of thousands or millions of times longer to achieve the same growth.

This is why the geological age is calculated on the basis of millions of years, which is why natural crystals (natura1crysta1) are precious.

When normal crystals grow, they can often show growth lines (groth1ines) parallel to the cylindrical tip of the wheel. Due to the narrow growth space in the underground and caverns, especially in the event of an earthquake. Or when the earth's crust changes, it is even easy to be squeezed by other ores, which often compresses and produces different crystal planes.

And also. When the crystal is still in a liquid state, it is often coated with other ores and marls to crystallize and grow, such as rutile (later turned into crystals), volcanic marl (later turned into phantom crystals) and so on. All of this is part of nature. Please do not consider it a flaw.

Crystals are evaluated differently than high-end gemstones. Most high-end gemstones put color at the top of their evaluation. When it comes to crystal, color and clarity (known in the crystal industry as crystals) are almost equally important factors:

Color: Color is very important in any gemstone, and crystal is no exception. If the crystal is colored, such as pink crystal, citrine, amethyst, etc., the highest standard of color evaluation is bright and moving, without gray, black, brown and other hues.

Such as pink crystal, the color is preferably pink; The required color is fresh purple, pure and not black, citrine. The required color does not contain green, lemon tones, and kumquat is preferred.

For crystals, the color of the crystals is also very important. The gold crystal of the same silk, the crystal is completely colorless (white crystal) and the crystal is slightly brown, and the visual perception of the naked eye is also different, so the price of the former will be higher than the latter.

Clarity: Crystals have very different clarity requirements than high-grade gemstones. High-grade gemstones are rare and rare, so people generally do not demand too much about the clarity of high-grade gemstones. The yield of crystals is really amazing, so people usually ask for the clarity of the crystal, the better, and try to avoid crystals with obvious inclusions.

Impurities: If there are the shapes of legendary characters in the impurities inside the crystal, such as Buddha, constellation, zodiac, etc., the value may be higher than that of crystals of the same color and clarity.

The state has not yet provided a specific standard for the classification of natural crystals, and there are many varieties of crystals, each of which has different evaluation criteria.

Crystal identification: touch the crystal with your hands, the temperature of natural crystal is usually much cooler than that of artificial crystal, and observe with your eyes, natural crystal usually has cotton wool-like inclusions, which is not found in artificial crystal.

For monochromatic crystals such as amethyst citrine, it is usually necessary to observe its dichroism, even the top amethyst citrine is also chromatic, and this method can be used to identify whether color is added. These are the easiest ways to do it, simple and easy to understand.

Crystal is divided into color grades, and there are many factors that affect the price of crystal, unlike diamonds that can be judged by 4C, so everyone has to listen and see more to really distinguish them.

The general criterion is that the larger the crystal, the more transparent the better, the more delicate the color the better, and the more typical the shape the better. However, the most important thing is to like it, and there are roughly the following ways to identify the authenticity when purchasing:

1. Look: In the process of formation, natural crystal is often affected by the environment and always contains some impurities, and when observing the sun, you can see a faint uniform fine horizontal stripe or catkins. The fake crystal is mostly smelted with residual crystal slag and glass slag, polished and colored, and there are no uniform stripes and catkins.

2 Tongue Licking: Even on dog days in the hot summer, licking the surface of the natural crystal with your tongue gives you a cold and cool feeling. Fake crystals, there is no cooling feeling.

3 Illumination: Natural crystal is placed vertically in the sun, no matter which angle you look at it, it can emit a beautiful brilliance. Fake crystals cannot.

4. Hardness: Natural crystal is hard, with a crushed stone on the jewelry lightly, will not leave traces, if there are streaks, it is a fake crystal.

5. Check with a polarizer: under the polarizer rotate 36o degrees, there are four bright and four dark changes are natural crystals, and no changes are false crystals.

6. Check with dicolor: natural amethyst has dichroism, and false crystal has no dichroism.

7. Check with a magnifying glass: Check with a ten-fold magnifying glass under the transmitted light, and the bubbles that can be found can basically be determined as false crystals.

8. Check with the head wire: limited to the round crystal ball. If the crystal ball is placed on a head wire, and the human eye can see the double shadow of the head wire through the crystal, it is a crystal ball. Mainly because crystals are birefringent. However, this cannot distinguish between natural crystals, cultivated crystals and smelted crystals. Only other substances such as glass can be distinguished.

9. Detection with thermal conductivity meter: adjust the thermal conductivity meter to green 4 grids to test gemstones, natural crystals can rise to yellow 2 grids, and false crystals do not rise, when the area is large, rise to yellow 1 grid.

Crystal culture has a long history, and the ancients once gave it a string of extremely beautiful nicknames: water jade, water essence, water blue, etc.

The oldest name for water jade in China is called water jade, which means jade like water, and it is also said to be "transformed by ice for thousands of years". The Tang Dynasty poet Wen Tingyun wrote in "The Secluded Residence of Li Shishi": "The water hosta has a white horn scarf, and the Yaoqin is silent and dusty."

The word water jade is the earliest and most frequently derived from the "Classic of Mountains and Seas": "Three hundred miles to the east, the mountain of the sun...... Multi-water jade";" Danshan out of Yan, southeast flow into Luoshui, which has a lot of water jade";" Chase the water out of Yan, the north flow is injected into Wei, and there is a lot of water jade in it".

Sima Xiangru "Shanglin Fu" said: "Water Yulei River". The crystal is named water jade, and the ancients valued the texture of "its crystal clear like water, and its hard as jade".

In Shuibi's "Classic of Mountains and Seas", the crystal is also called Shuibi: "Three hundred miles to the south, Rigeng Mountain, no grass and trees, more water and blue", Guo Pu's note: "Yishui jade".

This title is often quoted by literati, and Guo Jingchun of the Jin Dynasty said in "Pujiang Fu": "Ghosts, water and blue diving". Crystal is called jade ying. "Fu Rui Tu" contains "beautiful stone like jade, water essence is called jade Ying." ”

Water Spirit: Why is crystal called Water Spirit? "Guangya" has a clever explanation: "The spirit of water is also"; Li Shizhen said: "Crystal light is like the elite of water".

A water spirit, first seen in Buddhist books, later translated by the Han Dynasty Zhiyao's "Sutra with Bright Determination", said: "The way it does is as colorful as a water spirit." ”。

Quartz. "Guangya" said that the crystal is called quartz, and the color is as white as the white. It is an attached special-shaped character. Sima Xiangru has the sentence "female yellow and white" in "Zi Xufu". Surin explained: "White, white quartz also".

Other descriptions: "The Strange Names of the Commonwealth" says: "The water spirit came out of the Great Qin State, and it was difficult to live." ”。

The crystal crystal with complete crystals is like jagged horseteeth, so people call it horsetooth stone. The ancestors first used it to grind into spectacle lenses, so they gave it the nickname of spectacle stone.

Crystal has a common name and a common name. The area of Guangzhou is called crystal jade, also known as fish brain jelly; the mountain people in Donghai County, Jiangsu Province now have the crystal will "channel the flames", so they give it the common name of the shining stone.

It is not surprising that there are many things in the world, and it is rare for crystals to have so many nicknames. Look, from water jade, water blue, white jade, jade ying, water spirit quartz, Li Nan, crystal jade to Bodhisattva stone, horse tooth stone, spectacle stone, light stone, thousand-year-old ice, alpine jelly, fish brain jelly, etc., it simply constitutes a history of strange stone appreciation.

Yuying and water jade are both other names for the early days of crystal. Legend has it that in ancient times, the red pine nut had been served, in order to teach Shennong and jump into the fire to burn his own immortal crystal, a clear body, and a spirit of the world.

It contains the spirit of heaven and earth, the majestic charm of the universe, and the cultural plot of the ancient civilization. The exquisite stone can sing, and the singing stone can inspire the inker to indulge in the crystal singing.

Stone and crystal have become the objects of Chu Sao, Han Fu, Tang poems, Song Ci, and Yuan Qu, urging many immortal poems in the history of Chinese literature.

"The Classic of Mountains and Seas" and "The Legend of Differences" deify crystals, and "Han Feizi" and "Taizhen Gaiden" deify crystals.

According to rough statistics, as a cultural aspect, there are 3oo poems related to crystal in history, including nearly 100 Tang poems, 100 Song poems, and more than 100 poems from Jin, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties to modern times.

Like Qu Yuan, Sima Xiangru, Li Bai, Du Fu, Wei Yingwu, Wang Jian, Luo Wei Li went to Kunlun Mountain, and even the youngest daughter of Emperor Yan Shennong followed him according to this method. (To be continued......)
