As a unique gemstone variety in China, the bloodstone is named for its bright red-like cinnabar (cinnabar). The bright and colorful bloodstone has always been cherished by people and is known as the “Queen of Stones”. In recent years, the price of bloodstone has soared, and the rate of increase has continued, and a new round of "blood stone storm" has been staged. It is understood that the auction price of a piece of bloodstone just 10 years ago was 30 million yuan, and it can be cut into more than 30 standard "Dahongpao" seals of 3 cm in size, according to each "Dahongpao" seal of 3 million to 500. The price of 10,000 yuan, its value has been around 100 million yuan.

Good luck, bloody stone, beautiful and beautiful

As one of the four national stones in China, the bloodstone is the same as Shoushan Stone, Qingtian Stone and Bahrain Stone. The bloodstone is produced in Changhua Town, Lin'an City, Zhejiang Province, Bahrain Right Banner, Chifeng City, Inner Mongolia, and Xunyang County, Shaanxi Province. The most famous ones are Changhua Bloodstone and Bahrain Bloodstone.

According to research, the mining of bloodstone began in the Song Dynasty. It was famous in the Qing Dynasty. Emperors such as Kangxi, Qianlong and Jiaqing appreciated the bloodstone and used it as the chapter of Baodi. In the "Zhejiang Tongzhi" compiled by the Qing Emperor Qianlong, it was recorded: "Changhua County produces stamp stones, red spots such as cinnabar, and there are also blue-purple scorpions, good and lovely, and close to rare." It is Changhua Bloodstone. Folklore believes that the bloodstone will bring Hong (red) to the head, the people can hide their homes to avoid evil, and the emperor can hide the country and the country. The biggest feature of the bloodstone is concentrated on the word "red". Since ancient times, red has always been a symbol of joy, auspiciousness and prosperity in Chinese culture, and the bloodstone is an excellent material for seals or craft sculptures, so it has been favored by literati.

The bloodstone consists of two parts: “ground” and “blood”. The mineral component of "blood" is mainly cinnabar, and the composition of "ground" is not the same. It is based on red, warm and luxurious, crystal clear. The color of the bloodstone is bright red, reddish, purple, dark red, etc. The most valuable is the active red blood. The amount and color of the bloodstone of the bloodstone directly determines its price, and it is better to have fresh, bright, condensed, thick and thick blood. If the bloodstone square, the wall is full of red on all sides of the wall (also known as "six sides to see the blood", that is, more than 70% of the six sides of the rectangular seal are covered with red), which is a rare "Dahongpao", very precious.

A stone is hard to find the price of bloodstone, there is still room

Turning over the history of bloodstone, there have been many "red stones" that have been dumped into the river as Gongga mine waste. Nowadays, it has become a treasure of merchants and collectors. "One stone is hard to find" and "good stone is hard to find" has become The status quo of the industry collection, the price of bloodstone has risen rapidly in a few years, increasing the industry's expectation of appreciation of the bloodstone. Throughout the relevant experts in the industry, they all agree that the price of bloodstone will “go up again” and the current price is still at a basically reasonable stage.

Due to the scarcity of resources and the non-renewability of bloodstone, the bloodstone market continues to rise. According to the incomplete statistics of the Yachang Art Market Monitoring Center, from January 2000 to September 2012, the total number of bloodstones was 3048, and the number of transactions was 1,228, with a total turnover of 2,552,678 yuan (including repeated works). Among them, 4 pieces of 10 million yuan, 5 pieces of 5 million yuan to 10 million yuan, and 36 pieces of 1 million yuan to 5 million yuan. Before the spring of 2007, the bloodstone was mainly operated by private transactions and cultural relics stores, and there were few records of entering the auction. Since the fall of 2007, the transaction in the bloodstone market has begun to increase. At the 2007 Hanhai Autumn Auction in Beijing, a piece of “Chenkesi Changhua Bloodstone Stone Pavilion” was sold for 13.44 million yuan, which is the highest price of the bloodstone auction. By the autumn of 2011, its market conditions reached a record high, with 870 pieces in the quarter and 420 transactions, with a turnover of 74.935 million yuan. From 2013 to the present, the number of lottery items of more than one million yuan is 10 pieces.

For the sales situation in the first-line trading market, Mr. Lin, who sells bloodstone in Beijing, admits that the market here is not as good as the place of production. Because the price of the boutique is too high, many collectors do not dare to easily deal with the square chapters that are moving millions of dollars. Generally, they mainly buy small and medium-sized carvings. There are very few fine bloodstones on the market, and they are usually in the hands of collectors. Commonly found in the market are generally "steel chicken blood", and like some fine seals, usually placed in the home or locked in the safe, easy to not look for laymen.

For the two channels of auctions and private transactions, the industry believes that the difference is not big. The auction may be relatively reassuring, and it is best for the public to consult a professional who is familiar with the bloodstone. The main thing is to look at the quality of things. As the price of bloodstone is getting higher and higher, there are more and more fake bloodstones on the market. In the general market, if you don't know the relevant knowledge, it is difficult to buy a boutique.

To falsify the true colors, crafts, and maintenance are indispensable

For the selection of bloodstone, the color is the first, and the color of the chicken blood is bright red. In the purchase, collection, the first thing is to pay attention to the coverage of the blood in the whole stone. Take the "Dahongpao" bloodstone as an example. If you encounter the "Dahongpao" bloodstone that can't be polished, or if there are many hard shards on the stone surface, this is the hard-shelled bloodstone containing a large amount of silica sand, and the value will be greatly reduced.

In addition to the blood color, the bloodstone's ground and craft are also the benchmark for measuring the price of bloodstone. According to industry insiders, the land of Changhua Bloodstone is relatively soft, like the Changhua Bloodstone of the former Yuhua, and now it is very rare. The bloodstone of Bahrain has only risen in the past twenty years, and the land is transparent, but not much blood. Another example is the bloodstone in Guizhou, where the ground is dark, the hardness is high, and the price is relatively low.

At the same time, the superb processing technology will also give a lot of extra points to the bloodstone. After the original stone of the bloodstone enters the factory, it will be engraved according to the characteristics of the raw materials. For example, the sculptures in the mountains and waters will be carved in the place where there is no blood, and the pavilions will be paved to make the blood more prominent. In different regions, the craft will be different. The landscape is generally better for Qingtian, and the dragon and the ancient beast are generally in Changhua or Fujian. The master craftsman engraves a bloodstone ornament, which often takes a year or two, and the work will be quite collectible.

Industry experts said that the collection of bloodstone should also pay attention to distinguishing fake products. At present, the counterfeit products of Changhua Bloodstone, which is constantly rising in price, are emerging in the market. Among them, the more common methods of counterfeiting are “paint staining”. Take a piece of bloodstone based on real stone as an example. The bright color of the blood above is to use paint to strengthen the color. Usually, the fake "blood" looks red, but the metal is not strong enough. The "chicken blood" dyed by the paint is red only on the surface and cannot penetrate into the inside of the bloodstone. In addition, if the natural bloodstone is lightly scraped with a knife, the powder is white; while the red paint counterfeit bloodstone has toughness, the knife is not easy to be scraped into powder, and the powder is also red. Some counterfeiters use mercury sulphide, the original component of sulphur, to counterfeit the real thing, which needs to be tested by instruments. It is difficult to distinguish it from experts, and it is necessary to pay more attention to the purchase.

In addition, the collection of bloodstone should also pay attention to "nurturing blood." According to the collector's introduction, the bloodstone should avoid being placed under the sun or the lamp for a long time, so as to prevent the bloodstone from decreasing due to the darkening of the red part. Usually, it should be rubbed or immersed in good oil, reducing the possibility of stone cracking due to temperature difference changes, and also increasing the warmth of stone. Also avoid collisions. If there is time, the bloodstone should be properly played and rubbed, so that it can be "old light", but the carvings should avoid excessive play, so as not to damage the engraver and make it beyond recognition.
