Nature's magic is amazing, and the countless types of ore in the world are the products left by nature after tens of millions of years of precipitation.
Some of these products are just useless stone gravel, and some can be worth a lot, crazy fascinating, for reasons that are nothing more than precious.
Precious ore has spawned a habit of people who like to collect, and once some people sold their villas because of a piece of ore. What a bizarre story this is, let's take a look.
What is Fleshstone?
More than a decade ago, on a treasure hunting program called "Treasure Hunt", a man came to the scene with an ore shaped like "braised meat", which attracted everyone's amazement.
In order to understand the story of the man and this "braised meat", we must first understand what is "meat stone".
"Meat stone", as the name suggests, is a stone that looks like meat. At the beginning, this stone was naturally formed, because the material conditions formed were more demanding, so the number was very rare.
Nowadays, with the development of imitation technology and people's love for crafts, there is also a classification of craft meat stone, but in terms of value, natural meat stone is more precious.
Meatstone is an ore that belongs to sedimentary rocks in classification and is more distributed in Inner Mongolia, Jiangxi, Hebei, Guangxi and other regions of the mainland.
And the ore of meat stone is not mined to be valuable, only those meat stones that are particularly good in appearance or look like "pork belly" are the most collectible.
The reason is also very simple, because such fleshstone does not have too many impurities mixed in it, and it belongs to the fine products of meatstone.
As long as it is a valuable treasure, it is inevitable that there will be outlaws who will mess up in it and want to find a chance to find a million profits from it.
The same is true of meat stone, since the progress of the imitation process, the imitation of meat stone has emerged in an endless stream, becoming a dirty means for these lawbreakers to accumulate wealth.
There are also some people with superb imitation technology who will make imitations that are highly consistent with the real meatstone, and can be fake in the market, and even ore experts are difficult to distinguish quickly.
So, on this "Treasure Hunt" show, will the meat stone brought by the man be a copy, or will it be a real meat stone?
The meat stone bought by the family is actually a fake?
At the beginning of the show, the man first briefly introduced the origin of this meat stone. It turned out that the man himself was an ancient player who loved to collect, and was very interested in these strange ores on weekdays.
One day someone came to him with this piece of meat stone with a texture and color that was very similar to "braised meat", and his eyes instantly widened.
Because this piece of meat stone is very realistic, it is almost like real braised pork. He decided that it must be a very fine piece of meat, so he had the idea of buying it.
But the people who come to sell are not a simple master, and the price is half a million, which is still the price more than ten years ago.
Is it worth spending half a million for a "stone"? Presumably, most people will feel that it is not worth it, but in the eyes of this man, it is a business that can be ruined.
So the man sold the villa in his home, scraped together a total of half a million, and bought the "meat stone" from the dealer.
After buying it, the man felt a little unstable in his heart, afraid that this meat stone was fake, after all, it was too realistic, was this really possible? I heard that there was such a treasure hunting program, so I brought this meat stone to participate.
After listening to his story, the audience at the scene of the show all breathed a sigh of relief for him, because if it were not for the real meat stone, then he would have lost a lot.
In other words, if this is a piece of high-quality meatstone, its value is by no means incalculable for a simple half a million.
Several experts at the scene immediately began to identify, and soon there was a dispute over the disagreement.
Some experts believe that this is a piece of excellent meat stone of high quality, which is naturally formed by nature; others believe that this is not a real meat stone, but an imitation craft.
The atmosphere was sparked by discussions by experts. Finally, after thorough research, identification and discussion, the experts agreed.
That is: this piece of meat stone is not a pure natural meat stone, but it is not a complete imitation, but a craft meat stone processed according to a pure natural meat stone, and the quality of this meat stone before processing is very good, so after being polished by the process, it can have such a realistic effect.
The experts also gave a rough market estimate, and the price of the meatstone was about two million yuan.
This not only made the audience take a breath of cool air, but also made the owner of this meat stone excited, after all, this is enough to earn four times the price!
However, the experts did not recommend that the man sell the meat stone, but gave a recommendation that it could be handed over to the National Museum.
Because the collection value of this piece of meatstone is very high, it is the best choice to give it to the state for safekeeping.
As for whether the man finally handed in the meat stone, it is not known after the end of the show. But what is certain is that this piece of flesh stone is not the most perfect piece that has ever appeared.
The treasure of the Taipei Museum - Dongpo flesh-shaped stone
It is difficult to give a conclusive conclusion as to which piece of meat stone is the most precious in the world. But if you want to say which piece of meat stone in the world is the "Dongpo meat-shaped stone", one of the "three treasures of the town courtyard" of the Taipei Museum.
This piece of flesh stone is completely natural, produced in Inner Mongolia on the mainland, and was enshrined in the palace during the Kangxi Dynasty, and has been collected by the Qing Palace ever since.
Later, after passing through the works, this piece of meat stone went to the Taipei Museum and became one of the most precious pieces in the collection.
As for why this piece of meat stone is named "Dongpo", it is because its appearance resembles the Dongpo meat created by Su Dongpo in that year. It can be seen that the quality of this meat stone is unmatched by other meat stones.
Because this "Dongpo flesh-shaped stone" is too precious, what is exhibited at the Taipei Museum is not a genuine product, but a fake imitated according to the shape of this meatstone.
It is no wonder, after all, the value of this piece of meatstone is not only reflected in the value of its ore, but also in its value as a historical relic. From the Kangxi dynasty to the present, it is enough to be regarded as a precious cultural relic.
Summary: There are thousands of types of ore in the world, and meatstone is only one of them. With the progress of today's imitation technology, everyone can buy a piece of imitation meat stone handicraft to play with, and the value of meat stone has also been reflected in another way.
