On April 3, 2020, a seemingly ordinary day, Xu Hanzhong once again set foot on the banks of the Gulin River to quarry. However, this time, he worked hard for most of the day, but still got nothing, and the irritability in his heart couldn't help but arise.
In order to relieve his boredom, he turned the stones on the riverbed at will, hoping to catch something, although this was not the peak season for crabs, Xu Hanzhong still caught many delicious cockroaches in the water.
Just as Xu Hanzhong was about to put away his luggage and go home, his eyes were suddenly deeply attracted by a "shell" glowing with a faint green hue! When he looked closely, he was surprised to find that this was not the precious river mussel he had thought, but actually a crystal clear green stone! The outer arc of this mysterious stone showed a deep and attractive green, while the central part was even more white and flawless, as if it was the same as a green shell.
Xu Hanzhong carefully picked up this strange stone, feeling its extraordinary weight. At that time, he was already vaguely aware that the value of this stone was extraordinary, and it was very likely that it was some kind of extremely rare gemstone.
With full of excitement, he did not hesitate to take it home, and decided to go to the stone trading market in Luzhou the next day to seek professional identification and advice.
This simple and unpretentious farmer came to the riverside at will to pass the time, but he never imagined that there would be such an amazing harvest! For Xu Hanzhong, this was undoubtedly a sudden surprise.
However, he also felt that this magical greenstone must have an extraordinary origin and value, so he was eager to unravel its mystery.
Early the next morning, Xu Hanzhong came to the stone trading market in Luzhou early, expecting to find a professional to identify the green stone. He carefully presented it to an old stone friend, asking him to reveal the mystery.
I saw that the old man stared at it for a long time, and his eyes gradually became awe-inspiring.
After learning the news, Xu Hanzhong was immediately overjoyed and excited in his heart. This ordinary farmer never expected that he would be lucky enough to pick up such a precious treasure during a chance stone hunting trip.
He couldn't help but admire the chlorite in his hand over and over again, intoxicated by its mesmerizing colors and luster.
When Xu Hanzhong brought the green stone in his hand to the stone trading market in Luzhou and asked the senior old stone friend to identify it, the scene immediately caused a sensation.
The shocking truth is that in recent years, this chlorite has become the focus of competition in the collecting world. Not long ago, a group of experienced stone pickers from Xinjiang found an extremely rare piece of chlorite in Tuoxun County, and successfully sold it for an incredible 200,000 yuan in the live broadcast of a public welfare event.
However, the chlorite in Xu Hanzhong's hand is unique, its appearance is brilliant, the waxy luster is incomparable, the transparency and texture have reached the ultimate delicate and compact, and it has been unanimously recognized as a rare treasure by many experts.
When he learned the news, Xu Hanzhong's mood was instantly excited, and his heart was as magnificent as turning over the river and the sea. This simple farmer never dreamed that he would be lucky enough to pick up such a precious treasure during a chance stone-hunting trip.
He couldn't resist admiring the chlorite in his hand over and over again, soaking in its mesmerizing colors and waxy luster.
At the same time, more and more onlookers are being drawn in. Some people praised Xu Hanzhong's lucky discovery, saying that his luck and eyesight were unmatched, while others scoffed at it, believing it to be just an ordinary stone that didn't need much attention.
Despite the different opinions of the outside world, Xu Hanzhong did not waver, but felt more and more proud and confident.
At this moment, a senior stone collector from Chongqing suddenly appeared in the crowd. The collector carefully observed for a long time, and finally threw an olive branch to Xu Hanzhong: "Dear sir, this chlorite in your hand is too rare, I am willing to pay 40,000 yuan to buy it." ”
Hearing this tempting offer, Xu Hanzhong couldn't help but fall into deep thought. 40,000 yuan, which is undoubtedly a huge amount of wealth, enough for an ordinary farmer to live a rich and worry-free life.
However, he has developed a deep affection and interest in this mysterious chlorite, and at the same time, he is also full of endless curiosity about the rich cultural connotations behind it.
As an ordinary villager, Xu Hanzhong had never set foot in such an expensive and rare collection. Faced with the tempting offer of the Chongqing stone collector, he fell into hesitation and struggle for a while.
At this particular moment, Xu Hanzhong is faced with a difficult choice - should he pursue profit maximization at the expense of cultural inheritance, or should he stick to his respect for cultural traditions and give up the seemingly low-hanging fruit of monetary gain? On the one hand, he was eager to break into the market with this precious chlorite and improve his living conditions through its high price, but on the other hand, he was deeply attracted by the profound cultural heritage of this mysterious chlorite, and he was eager to explore the historical story and spiritual meaning behind it.
At this time, the surrounding onlookers also expressed their opinions. Some lamented that his good fortune was so extraordinary that he was able to inadvertently unearth such a unique treasure, while others pointed out that it was just an ordinary stone, and there was no need to be overly surprised.
After half an hour of deliberation, Xu Hanzhong resolutely decided to keep the chlorite with him for the time being, and did not choose to trade with the stone collector from Chongqing.
He sincerely explained that although the offer of 40,000 yuan is quite tempting, because he still lacks a comprehensive understanding of the cultural connotation of chlorite and the market situation, he cannot make a final decision at present.
When the green stone in Xu Hanzhong's hand was identified as a rare chlorite, it immediately sparked a craze on the scene, which was originally an ordinary stone search trip, but now it has evolved into an unprecedented auction.
Experts have conducted an in-depth analysis of the unique charm of this chlorite, which is fascinating. First of all, the color of this chlorite is extremely captivating, revealing a verdant, intense emerald green hue that is like a masterpiece of nature.
Secondly, it has an extremely dazzling waxy luster that exudes an extraordinary light, and in addition to this, the transparency and texture of this chlorite are also perfect, which is really rare in nature.
It is these excellent qualities that have made this chlorite attract the attention of the collecting community in a very short period of time. In fact, with the continuous popularity of the domestic collection market, the price of this kind of chlorite continues to rise like a surging river.
