Collecting strange stones can not only give people the enjoyment of natural beauty, but like collecting antiques, calligraphy and paintings, it is also an effective investment that maintains and increases value. Strange stones, also known as ornamental stones, generally refer to stones with certain artistic value. They come from nature and are not artificial. Each piece is unique and unique. Common varieties include pumice, ink stone, pebbles, rain flower stones, Lingbi stones, Yellow River stones, stalactites, etc. Experts believe that the collection value of strange stones can be evaluated from four aspects: shape, color, quality and pattern. Shape; The stone shape is complete, multi-faceted, full of spiritual energy, and full of charm. Color: Color is the top quality, but when it is discussed in detail with the pattern as a reference, the picture shows a lady in ancient costume, the simple copper color is just right, like Chang'e flying to the moon, it is hazy and vast, so that people can suddenly feel the desolation and orchid. Sense of environment. Quality: Hardness is the key, hardness is the best, smooth and delicate when touched. Pattern: The pattern is clear, the texture is smooth, and the lines are soft, like a dragon or a snake, or a gecko climbing a wall. In short, the stone may have a strange shape, a beautiful color, a very strong quality, or a wonderful pattern. The more strange the stone, the more worthy of collection, and the more strange it is, the more economic value it has. According to reports, at a recent stone auction held in Guangzhou, two pieces of stone were sold for 560,000 yuan, seven times the price of the stone in the past two years 10 years ago. A collector of rare stones in Shanghai bought two Lingbi stones for less than 20,000 yuan and sold them for 200,000 yuan a year later, an annual return of 10 times. The booming auction of rare stones in Guangzhou has triggered an increase in prices in the strange stone market. Abroad, there is a British girl named Sphinx Di who started the stone appreciation business in China with only one thousand US dollars. Ten years later, she became an international stone appreciation master and a famous cultural businessman with assets of tens of millions of dollars. She is China's stone appreciation business. Stone not only has considerable markets in South Korea, Japan and Taiwan, but is also exported to European and American countries. High-end Chinese ornamental stones are sold for tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of dollars in the London art market. With the improvement of the material and cultural living standards of our people, urban residents are increasingly interested in strange stones that express taste and taste, and the strange stone market has shown a good momentum of development. At present, Liuzhou, Zibo, Yichang and Qingtian in my country have become the sales markets for red river stone, Zibo aragonite, Three Gorges stone, Qingtian stone and other strange stones respectively. Shanghai has always been a center for the exchange of strange stones with many collectors and good tastes. According to reports, a Hong Kong businessman engaged in real estate offered US$3 million to buy four rare stones from a Shanghai Tibetan stone house. Although the collector declined in the end, the amount of gold he could buy for the money was four rare stones. Dozens of times, it can be said that gold is valuable and strange stones are priceless.
