Crystal ornamental stone is the most representative work of natural crystal, and it has ornamental properties that other gemstones do not have. Whether it is jade or jadeite, it must be carved to reflect its value, and the crystal ornamental stone only needs to polish the surface, that is, to show the substance wrapped in the crystal, and directly appreciate the original crystal stone.

Naturalness is the basic characteristic of crystal ornamental stones, usually the overall shape of crystal minerals without decoration and carving has a high ornamental value, but the inclusions of crystal ornamental stones often need to be properly polished, so that it is more convenient to view the inclusions inside the crystal.

Crystal ornamental stones are often very strange in terms of shape, texture, internal characteristics, etc. Nature has infinite scenery, which can be found in the inclusion crystal species.

Natural crystal is a non-renewable resource, with the deepening of development, the stock of natural crystal has become less and less, for sustainable development, the relevant government departments of the country have long formulated a policy to protect local resources and encourage the development of overseas crystal resources, however, overseas resources are also becoming less and less, many overseas countries have raised the threshold of mining and exporting natural crystal, and therefore, the price of foreign crystal entering the Chinese market has skyrocketed year after year, among which the price of ornamental crystal is faster than that of ordinary crystal.

The chemical composition of crystal is mainly silica, and the chemical stability of crystal is quite good, and the hardness of crystal is very large, and its Mohs (Moss) hardness is 7. These determine that the crystal will not rot and deteriorate, is durable, easy to preserve, and is very suitable for collection.

There are a variety of mineral inclusions inside the crystal, and the various landscapes formed can be observed with the naked eye, and such crystals are inclusions crystal ornamental stones. Since crystals themselves are gemstones. Therefore, people call the inclusion crystal "gem-quality ornamental stone". The inclusions crystal ornamental stones are unique and have extremely high appreciation and collection value.

The crystal ornamental stone of inclusions can be divided into the following three types according to the order of the formation of its inclusions:

The first is the "total inclusion", which encapsulates these substances in the crystal when it crystallizes. Most of the various scenes formed by such inclusions remain in their original state when the crystal was crystallized, that is to say, they have been preserved for hundreds of millions of years, and are rarely affected by the natural environment;

The second type is the "semi-inclusion", after the crystallization of the crystal, due to the fissures caused by the gravitational pull of the earth, some substances outside the crystal penetrate into the crystal through the cracks of the crystal. One part is encased in the crystal, and the other part is exposed outside the crystal. We can see the cracks in the crystal, often referred to as "channels", which are inclusions that are relatively more influenced by the natural environment and time. The corresponding value is also relatively low;

The third is "skin scene", because some other minerals coexist with the crystal, or due to the erosion of other substances and adhere to the surface of the crystal, or the crystal is affected by the natural environment. Erosion on the surface of the crystal. Some scenes or patterns are formed, and this landscape is stored on the surface of the crystal.

Crystal inclusions can be contained in a wide variety of inclusions, from gases and liquids to minerals and even gemstones. According to the content of the inclusions, the inclusions are often divided into the following eight categories:

Crystal cat's eye: common titanium crystal cat's eye, copper smooth hair cat's eye. Quartz cat's eye, green hair crystal cat's eye.

Starlight Crystal: Visible Starlight Titanium Crystal. Starlight pink quartz, star quartz.

Titanium crystal flower: It is composed of three groups of titanium crystals arranged in a plane, which is very beautiful and rare.

Hydrochic crystal: including gaseous, liquid, solid, sometimes can coexist at the same time, colorless mostly, red, green, yellow, blue, black, etc. can be seen in some cases.

Hair crystal: including titanium crystal, copper hair crystal, green hair crystal, black hair crystal, silver hair crystal, variegated hair crystal, among which titanium crystal is the most precious, a few titanium crystal value comparable diamonds, rubies and sapphires and emeralds.

Rabbit hair crystal: There are red, yellow, white and other colors, mainly composed of fine hair-like structures.

Ghost Crystal: Divided into green ghosts, red ghosts, white ghosts, etc., the main composition is chlorite, of which green ghosts belong to the precious variety.

Landscape crystal: It is the crystal composed of various special shapes of the inclusion, some like landscapes, some like people, some like words, some like animals, plants, utensils and so on.

Crystal rough ornamental stone, from the literal sense: the original appearance of the ornamental crystal stone, that is, the inclusion crystal and the primary color crystal after polishing and peeling, do not need to be carved and do not seek the pictogram has a very high ornamental value and collection value.

This kind of crystal ornamental stone has very high requirements for texture, crystal crystal is transparent and clean, the color is gorgeous, the artistic conception is bright and profound, and its value characteristics are just like diamonds, and the value of the stone itself is real.

The crystal rough ornamental stone fully embodies the essence of natural crystal, and the polished crystal rough ornamental stone is exquisitely clear, crystal bright, and the unique design shows the charm of the crystal just right.

If you want to simply appreciate the crystal, the crystal rough ornamental stone is your best choice, giving people a feeling of returning to the basics.

Crystal cluster crystal, this crystal ornamental stone specifically refers to crystal crystal cluster, which is a combination of many single crystals growing together. The crystal cluster is famous in the crystal appreciation stone industry for its crystal clarity and unique shape.

The appreciation and evaluation of this kind of crystal crystal cluster ornamental stone mainly emphasizes the integrity of the crystal, the variety of precious (such as amethyst, smoky quartz, hair crystal, etc.), the peculiar shape, and the presence of precious crystals (such as cinnabar, stibnite, etc.).

Crystal clusters are produced in the geode of ore deposits, and it is rare to have perfect appearance, and it is difficult to collect them intact and undamaged, so the cost of collecting them is relatively large, and the value of high-quality crystal clusters is also expensive.

Crystal jewelry is becoming more and more popular among people, and people in China, Japan, South Korea, the United States and other countries also have a soft spot for crystal balls, and like to put them in their homes or offices, believing that crystal balls have spirituality, can keep peace and bring wealth.

However, natural crystal is not as crystal clear as it seems, and it also has flaws, so we should pay attention to it when buying jewelry.

In addition, we also need to grasp the evaluation basis and purchase method of crystal, which can help us choose the crystal we like in a dazzling array of crystal jewelry.

Common flaws of crystal: 1. Hidden cracks

In transparent crystals, the hidden cracks are in the form of shiny flakes. Sometimes there is also a halo effect. These cracks are some invisible cracks generated by external force during the growth of crystals, and hidden cracks are common in hibiscus stones, amethysts, white crystal balls and white crystal columns. Some of the cracks were later filled with substances. A healed crack is formed, that is, the original crack grows again. This crack has a relatively small effect on the crystal.

2. Cotton, cloud or slag-like inclusions, impurities in the transparent crystal foggy phenomenon or feel like cotton wool, slag-like inclusions inside, the storage of these inclusions affects the overall appearance of the crystal.

There are also crystals that contain black spots or other colored patchy substances, which are not in harmony with the crystal as a whole, and are regarded as crystal impurities, and crystals with such impurities are defective.

3. Cracks: After the crystal is formed, the crystal produces large cracks or cracks due to external force or some man-made reasons. This crack can be large or small, and the effect on the crystal can also be large or small.

4. Growth defects: the surface of the crystal is pitted, some deep. Some are shallow, which is naturally formed during the growth of the crystal, not man-made damage.

The defect was originally coated with other mineral crystals, but the binding force between the inclusions and the crystal junction was not strong. When the surface is polished. The ore body falls off, leaving an empty space. This defect is more common on green ghosts, titanium crystals, and blonde crystals.

5. Damage: Damage refers to the damage caused by the crystal due to processing or accidental falling, collision and other reasons. It can be a breach, a pit, etc.

Crystal evaluation basis: The evaluation of crystal is mainly based on its color, transparency, size, clarity, special pattern and whether there is an optical effect. It is better to have pure color, high concentration, and flawless interior.

Amethyst is the most expensive species, followed by citrine, smoky quartz, colorless crystal and hibiscus stone. Crystals with special optical effects are more expensive.

1. Color and transparency: Generally speaking, amethyst and citrine are the most valuable varieties of crystal. The two are further graded according to the shade of their color. The darker ones are grade A, and the lighter ones are grade B.

Generally, the price is higher for darker colors. But it should be not dark as the standard. There are two colors, one is the color of the crystal itself and the other is the color of the internal inclusions.

The color of the crystal itself should be bright and pure, and the distribution should be uniform, not too dark or too shallow, such as Australian jade, blue chalcedony, amethyst, citrine, and its price is high.

Colorless crystals contain inclusions that are brightly colored and have a high price, such as titanium crystals, green ghosts, and red rabbit fur. Amethyst is generally slightly cloudy, dark purple in color, and crystal transparent.

According to the transparency index, the more transparent the crystal, the higher the price, and the finished product processed by a good transparent crystal is crystal clear and dazzling.

Crystals with high transparency can enhance the brilliance of the color, otherwise it will look dull and spiritual. Optical crystals are required to be fully transparent, free of double crystals, and free of impurities. Process crystals require transparency, less cracking, and fewer flaws. Smelted crystals are required to be transparent and can have many cracks.

The value of the three decreases in turn, and smelting crystal can only be used as a raw material for smelting crystal glass. In the craft crystal, the larger crystal can be used to make crystal glasses and carve high-end handicrafts, so the price is higher.

2. Special patterns and inclusions: If the jade texture can form a beautiful pattern and pattern, its price will be high, such as the red and white ribbons in the agate are arranged regularly, forming a silk agate, and the uneven color in the jasper forms a landscape pattern, and the value of the material will increase.

When inclusions inside a crystal form a beautiful pattern, such as ghost crystals, landscape crystals, or needle-like inclusions arranged in bundles, they are all worth more than ordinary crystals. The more beautiful and meaningful the pattern, the better.

The value of hair crystals depends on the color, rarity and size of the hair, and the price is generally high for bright color and large lumps. The value of water urchin crystals mainly depends on the size and transparency of water urchs and crystals. If the water urchin is large and has a certain form, it can be processed into a more precious handicraft.

In addition, the water in the water bladder also has a certain scientific value, through which they can understand the composition and changes of water on Earth millions of years ago.

3. Block size: The value of the crystal is also related to the size of the block, the same color and clarity level, the larger the block, the rarer. Sometimes the quality level is lower, but the block is large enough, and the price may be higher than that of a high-level small crystal

4. Clarity: Colorless crystals are known for their crystal beauty, cleanliness and transparency. The colorless crystal is mainly measured by its purity, the purer and more transparent the better. Clean, flawless, and less impurities are worth more. Colorless crystals if they are dirty. There is no use value.

5. Texture: The fewer impurities and cracks, the better. For crystal products with good texture, there should be no star-like, cloud-like and flocculent distribution of gas-liquid inclusions or particles that make up jade. If there are cracks and spots, it is a defective product.

6. Processing technology: crystal and its quartzite-like jade are low-grade gems and jade. Although it is not as noble as diamonds and ruby sapphires, it is also highly valuable if it is cleverly conceived and finely processed. For example, the traditional Chinese agate "shrimp plate", "dragon plate", and "water manjin mountain" (water urchin agate ornaments) are all known as national gems and jades.

The value of crystals varies greatly depending on the quality, the size of the block, the beauty and the amount of production. When encountering a good natural crystal, you must dare to start, but everyone generally wants to get a good crystal, and whether it is worth it or not depends on experience.

Due to the mining and production of natural crystals, crystals without blemishes are hard to come by. It is really rare for pure jewelry to achieve the quality of synthetic crystal.

In addition, due to the properties of crystal. During the wearing process, the grade will also be changed, for example, for some reason, there may be a gradual development of large cracks.

The ancient Greeks believed that crystal was a stone in which ice evolved according to the will of the gods. As it is crystalline, transparent, and flawless. When appreciating the crystal, it reminds people of the clear, pure, and devoid of any impurities, which is refreshing, and some people believe that there is a mysterious power hidden in the crystal, which can bring happiness and health, and angels have always been used as a symbol of blessing, protection, and prayer. Therefore, with this Crystal Angel wedding gift, you and your guests are invited to share the good news and good wishes.

Ancient Greeks believed that pure crystals could bring happiness and health, and they were always believed to have hidden mystical powers. And now these zodiac crystals refined by Zhao Chaogang have just made these fantasies come true.

When Zhao Chaogang was still in prison before. The relatives in his family can be said to help his family wholeheartedly, whether it is financially or spiritually, they all help their family wholeheartedly, especially in the spirit of caring for their mother, which makes Zhao Chaogang grateful in his heart.

When Zhao Chaogang was imprisoned, Liu Meiqing was deeply shocked, and her whole person could be said to have collapsed, if it weren't for the careful care and wholehearted care of his aunts and aunts at that time, Zhao Chaogang really didn't know if his mother would survive at that time, so Zhao Chaogang was sincerely grateful to these relatives of his own.

is also because of this, Zhao Chaogang has long wanted to repay his relatives. Whether it is as a relative, or to repay these relatives for their selfless help to their family at that time, Zhao Chaogang has to sincerely repay them.

Therefore, after Zhao Chaogang was released from prison, he first helped his relatives financially, and then, now, Zhao Chaogang specially made some zodiac crystals, these zodiac crystals are not only very precious crystals, it is also a magic weapon.

In these zodiac crystals, Zhao Chaogang sealed a large amount of spiritual energy, and in these zodiac crystals, a bloodline induction array was engraved, as well as some protective arrays.

As long as these relatives of Zhao Chaogang wear this crystal, these relatives will definitely get a hundred times more effective with half the effort when they practice martial arts in the future. As long as their relatives practice martial arts diligently, they will easily become innate martial artists for more than ten years at most.

Once these relatives of his own become innate stage martial artists, at a certain time, Zhao Chaogang will also pass on some cultivation techniques to them.

Since he has obtained a small world, and there are countless cultivation exercises, it is only natural that he will benefit his relatives.

In this way, Zhao Chaogang can not only be regarded as repaying the kindness of his relatives, but also get a great boost. The strength of the team is always greater than the strength of the individual.

The protective formation engraved on the zodiac crystal can also protect Zhao Chaogang's relatives from harm, and now, as more and more people begin to cultivate, martial artists appear on the earth more and more frequently.

Although Zhao Chaogang is a cultivator, he still has the same opinion about ordinary people in his heart, but after many people become martial artists and have more power than ordinary people, they begin to look down on those ordinary people in their hearts, so when they get along with ordinary people, some very unpleasant things will happen, and it can even be directly said that these martial artists will oppress people with power.

Zhao Chaogang didn't want his relatives to be threatened by these unscrupulous warriors, and even hurt by these unscrupulous warriors, and these unscrupulous warriors actually appeared because of Zhao Chaogang, so it is necessary to give his relatives some precautions.

The crystal zodiac refined by Zhao Chaogang is a kind of protection that Zhao Chaogang gave to his relatives, with the zodiac crystal on his body, even if the martial artist in the innate period directly dealt with his relatives, they can be safe and sound, and once someone makes a move on his relatives, Zhao Chaogang's blood induction array refined on the zodiac crystal will make Zhao Chaogang immediately sense this, at that time, Zhao Chaogang can rescue his relatives in a timely manner.

It can be said that for those relatives of his own, Zhao Chaogang is absolutely sincere, and he pays without regrets! (To be continued......)
