The stone collector of Cai Xi, a folk collector
In the stone world, Kistler is known as "silent poetry, three-dimensional painting, rhyming songs, intoxicating wine." A small piece of stone can condense flowers, birds, fish, human figures and so on. There is a vast array of worlds, and there are thousands of worlds.
Because of the subtle and unique beauty of Kistler, more and more Tibetans are dumping it, and Caixi collector Cai Xi is one of them. As a collector of antique pens, he has played a stone in the "half-way home". In the days when he was with the stone for more than 10 years, he has collected a lot of strange stones, among which the agate series of stone is doubled and dazzling.
Recently, the reporter went to Cai Xi’s home to admire the various agate stones and listen to the stories he told about the strange stones.
Why collect
Both husband and wife are strange stone lovers
Cai Xi is famous for his pen collection. His collection of four antique pens, such as pens, pencils, fountain pens and ballpoint pens, is famous all over the country. However, many people do not know that his agate stone collection is not inferior.
The fat and thin, the color of the "Five Pork", open the wings like a penguin who welcomes guests from afar, the first and the tail, the dragons and phoenixes that match each other... Most of these various agate stones in Cai Xi’s collection are ten Come to the head stone around the cent. Different from the common garden stone and hall stone, the head stone is small and exquisite, each one can be played in the hands and can be placed on the table as a small object.
Speaking of his experience in the collection of strange stones, Cai Xixiao said that it was mainly influenced by his wife. In the early years, playing stone is still a rare thing. Kistler is also a small collection. His wife has always been fond of this. The family still harbors small stones that his wife "snapped" from the riverside many years ago.
Under his wife's "education", when he went on a business trip more than 10 years ago, Cai Xi scoured a fossil of mollusks 3 billion years ago from a local antique shop. After hundreds of millions of years of tempering, the shell and limb outlines of mollusks are still clearly visible.
One to two, he was attracted by the natural beauty of the stone, and it was out of control. This made the stone-collecting house full of stone houses. Among them, agate stone is loved by Cai Xi for its magnificent color and tough texture. In his stone collection, agate stone accounts for half of the country, and hundreds of them are rare boutiques.
What are the charms of these agate stones that once "the bed of life, the roadside abandoned"? Cai Xi said that agate stone, also known as aragonite and horse brain, is itself one of the traditional "four treasures" (pearl, agate, crystal, jade), and the agate stone is formed after years of sandstorming or river wash. The treasure of nature, "I have more water stones in my collection, and the water stone is more round and full. We all know that most of the stones washed by the river are not angular, so these different forms of agate stone are really picking First, it is extremely rare."
In Cai Xi's view, the most important thing is that each piece of agate stone can be tried for a long time. Different angles can show different images and artistic conception. In the process of constantly trying to figure out the best image, this process is full of fun. Every time he finds Kistler, he and his wife often sit in front of the stone and taste some of them. These stones are more like a symbol of love between him and his wife. "It is not gold, not silver, but it is a work of nature. There will be no counterfeits, and no one will do it..."
How to collect
Collection of strange stones, the most fate
"Flowers are like a lot of things, and stone can't be said to be the most human." The spirits of people and stones are not easy to obtain. People who play with stones also pay special attention to fate. In the eyes of Cai Xi, Kistler is spiritual, and behind each piece is a story, and the most he is talking about is the hard-won "Kowloon lion".
"Kowloon Opera Lion" is a boutique in the collection of Cai Xiqi Stone. The stone weighs 149.9 grams and is only the size of a palm. It looks like a lion and looks like a lion. Looking at it, there are nine dragons hovering over it, vividly presenting the picture of the "Kowloon lion". Among them, the biggest dragon is glaring, his mouth is wide, and his teeth and tongue are clearly visible. The majestic momentum is coming.
Going to the place of origin to find the best quality stone, Cai Xi always thinks so. In the antique world, there is a saying that "the world agate looks at China, and the Chinese agate looks at the Xunke". The quality of the agate stone produced by Xunke is evident. And this stone is exactly what he brought back from Xunke.
A few years ago, Cai Xi went to Xunke “Taobaoâ€. Because there is a local Kashi shop in the vicinity of the hotel, there is nothing to do. He always likes to go to the store for two laps, so he also has a lot of good. goods.
One day, the boss politely invited him to go to his own warehouse. I didn't think that the eye-catching Cai Xi dug the "treasure" in the corner. "I just faintly saw the animal's pictogram, which is a rare treasure. At that time, when the boss saw it, his face changed and he said that he only gave it to him."
Cai Xi had a problem. When he hit a good stone, he "cannot move his feet, can't open his eyes, and can't keep his heart." Immediately, he took out all the cash from his body, and he wanted to buy the stone for more than a thousand dollars. Unable to hold back his soft and hard foam, the boss finally reluctantly gave the stone to him.
Going home and his wife, in addition to the first lion found out, Cai Xi actually found nine dragons from the stone of this square. "A good pictogram is more rare. It needs a thousand picks. The pictograms are very rare and can't be met."

How to judge the value of Kistler
According to Cai Xi, compared with the market of calligraphy and painting, Kistler is produced in nature, close to nature, and it is most likely to evoke the most original feelings in people's hearts. At present, more and more Taizhou people are immersed in the mystery of "the room is stoneless and indecent". The Tibetan stone began to become a wind, and the price of the stone has soared. The good price of the South Red Agate stone is as good as 10 years ago. A gram of a hundred dollars soared to tens of thousands.
"The stone looks very complicated, and it is very simple. Some are cheaper to a few yuan, and there are also hundreds of millions of dollars." Kistler comes from nature, style and material are diverse. Unlike artificial art and antiques, the value system of Kistler is A vague system. According to reports, in the international market, only jade has a clear price standard, so many laymen have always had a sense of fog in the Kistler market.
So how to judge the value of a strange stone? This problem has also plagued many collectors.
"If there is real material, art has a foundation, and there is room for preservation and appreciation. This is the principle that is universally applicable." Cai Xi said that the most important point in judging the value of the stone collection is the naturalness of the stone. Whether the material is genuine or not, "In the case of agate stone, you can choose to use light to illuminate. The agate stone has a texture inside the light, between transparent and opaque."
In addition, he believes that the identification of Kistler's value is a gradual process. Collectors should learn from the aspects of calligraphy and painting art and improve their eyesight. "There is a saying that it is difficult to buy a good heart, and there is no value in collecting stones." It's worth it, only you don't like it. As long as you practice your eyesight, you can do it when you buy it."
