厚古不薄今 当代艺术品投资时代到来 Antique ear has arrived

中南海紫光阁定制的陈设瓷、工艺美术大师的鸡血石雕刻……翰海2007年秋季拍卖会上，当代工艺美术品专场首次与历代古玩同台竞拍，捧场 的藏家们则为95件作品砸下了5100多万元。相比之下，虽然616万元的成交额并不高，北京博观2007年秋季翡翠白玉精品拍卖会更是一次当代玉石雕刻 界名家名品的大型展示会，数件曾获得中国玉石雕刻最高奖之称的“天工奖”的获奖作品令人大开眼界。
当代工艺美术品不仅在去年秋季的拍卖市场上大出风头，2008年伊始，500余件包括鸡血王、羊脂白鸡血、福黄石在内的巴林石精品，亮相北京爱家国 际收藏品市场，“草原瑰宝”巴林石吸引了大批的京城收藏者。业内人士认为，工艺美术作品已不仅仅是人们的赏玩之物，大师精品同样也进入了收藏投资品范畴。
候选国石一马当先
一件现代的昌化鸡血石雕楼阁山子为什么能创造1344万元的纪录？除了国家级雕刻大师牛克思的巧夺天工，还在于所用鸡血材料之大、血色之纯正饱满， 难得一见。新疆和田玉、辽宁岫岩玉、内蒙古巴林石、福建寿山石、浙江青田石面临枯竭的候选国石资源，因历代不断开采，上好品质的石品近乎凤毛麟角。如今， 昌化鸡血石一旦在收藏市场上露面就被海内外藏家抢购，而其他候选国石也都是当代工艺美术收藏中的热门。
虽然昌化鸡血石收藏在民间很热，但一直没有准确的市场定位。翰海去年秋拍尝试推出的“国石”专场中，10件昌化鸡血石原石、摆件中，有5件的成交价 过了百万元。“通过公开拍卖，为鸡血石乃至国石，特别是工艺大师的作品指引了一个未来的市场定位。”翰海拍卖公司副总张跃进表示。
巴林石是近期石品收藏圈中的又一明星，“一块3000元的石头，一年之间就涨到2万元”。据了解，巴林石去年的涨幅在5倍到6倍左右，在北京翰海去年秋拍中上拍的3件巴林石雕工艺品全部成交，其中巴林石巧雕章鱼摆件拍出了89.6万元。
市场视线转移厚古不薄今
“往往收藏者拿到一件东西，先要看年代是否久远，够不够年份，只要是‘大新活’，则不屑一顾。”厚古薄今，这是长期以来中国的传统收藏理念。“如果 当年康雍乾三代帝王也是‘玉必商周、瓷必宋元’，对‘新活’不屑一顾，就不会出现清三代艺术品的鼎盛局面，就不会有如此多的艺术珍品流传至今”，收藏者已 经意识到了收藏理念的“短腿”。
“一个新的工艺美术的鼎盛时期即将来临。”工艺美术界的大师和专家们断言。上世纪80年代以来，随着我国社会稳定，经济发展，尤其是民间收藏和艺术 品市场的不断升温，沉寂已久的工艺美术行业早已萌发出新的生命力。“无论从工艺手段、题材选择、精细程度等方面，当代工艺美术品都突破了前人。”
以当代玉石雕刻为例，奥岩认为“中国玉石雕刻正步入一个艺术的高峰期”，原料玉质日臻完美，工艺更加精湛，玉雕大家辈出，“中国当代玉雕艺术品不仅正在成为收藏品，更是在成为一种新的投资”。
“昌化鸡血雕楼阁山子创出天价以及专场优秀的成交表现，市场已经释放出一个信号。”张跃进表示，新工艺品也有一批实力不菲的收藏群体，而这个群体一 直是被拍卖市场所忽视的。“这次拍卖让我们发现了这个群体，并且引导他们收藏当代工艺大师的优秀作品，原只在民间交易的当代工艺品完全可以进入拍卖市场并 获得好价格。”
中国工艺美术协会秘书长王山把收藏人群按经济能力分为三档，月收入5000元以下为一档，5000元至1万元为一档，1万元以上为一档。他认为，现 在文物收藏市场已经不是月收入1万元以下的人可以接受得了的，一方面价格昂贵，另一方面真伪存在疑惑，风险性高。“如果把同样的钱投到当代工艺美术品，那 么不仅物真、人真，而且大师作品的艺术价值与收藏潜力也都非常好，这就是收藏视点迁移的原因。”
爱家收藏市场大辽石社王黎明做了数十年的巴林石生意，“巴林石价格一直在涨，只是幅度大小和频率快慢问题，现在一块印章料价格在5000至1万元左 右，但按国际价格来换算，一两上品鸡血石就要达到15万美元，如果将这个价格与国内价格相比，国内价格还没有达到与国际接轨，更不要说达到顶点了”。他介 绍，巴林石只产于内蒙古巴林右旗，主要品种为鸡血石、冻石和彩石，同样作为不可再生的矿产，巴林石同寿山石、青田石、昌化石相比，资源开发开采时间短，为 收藏价值上升埋下伏笔。
当代工艺美术品市场最明显上涨的当属翠、玉等名贵石材工艺品，有人将这种现象戏称为藏界上演的“疯狂的石头”。中国珠宝玉石首饰行业协会玉石分会秘 书长奥岩说，2007年是玉石原料及玉石成品市场动荡的一年，包括翡翠与白玉在内的玉石原料市场火爆，带动了成品市场价格的拉升，尤其是名家名品，整个玉 石原料及成品市场都呈“牛市”。
奥岩认为，当代名家名品与同级别的旧玉件相比不但价格较低，还具有很高的人文价值和投资空间，也是当代玉雕艺术品得以热卖的原因。
大师精品绝活潜力看好
大批工美行业的老企业倒闭，工艺美术大师大量流散，许多技艺濒于失传……工艺美术传承曾经岌岌可危，更何谈收藏市场？如今在保护、聚集了102位工 艺美术大师的北京百工坊博物馆，副馆长张新超说，工艺美术大师们像北京雕漆一类工艺精深、资源紧俏的作品，已经到了有钱也难买的地步。
2003年，一对雕漆大师的八棱梅花葫芦瓶要价只有800元，现如今，同样大小的八棱梅花葫芦瓶就算流水线生产的，一只就得1万元。至于大瓶，即使出到10万元也未必拿得下来了。
景泰蓝、紫砂、织绣、竹雕、木雕等当代工艺美术品也频频看涨。工艺美术大师们的订单应接不暇。一些名望高、年纪大的大师级人物所接到的订单之多，在其有生之年恐怕都难以完成。
再看看拍卖市场，已经有了当代的紫砂器、瓷器、玉雕、砚雕、漆器、缂丝、古琴、紫檀家具的身影。比如被列为世界非物质文化遗产的古琴和缂丝，在翰海 去年秋拍中，当代制琴工艺大师王鹏历时两年多完成的蕉叶琴以11.2万元成交；由苏州刺绣研究所已故国家级工艺大师徐绍青设计，5位高级工艺师历时一年多 共同完成的缂丝作品《牡丹通景屏》获得藏家的追捧，以112万元成交。
任何一种艺术品的市场火了，造假也就开始跟进，仿佛已是收藏市场的定律。各种冠以某某工艺美术大师之名的艺术品在藏品交易市场随处可见，而且每件都 价格不菲。事实上，中国工艺美术大师是我国授予传统工艺美术产业工作者的最高荣誉称号，自1979年组织评审以来，共进行了5届，去年共有161人获得第 五届中国工艺美术大师称号，至此，评出的中国工艺美术大师一共有365位。
张新超认为，为了迎合市场，当代工艺品讨巧市场的倾向同样非常普遍，低档仿品的艺术水准相去甚远，有工艺美术之名，无工艺美术之实。
“如果你买进的是真正大师级的作品，也许现在的价格较市场偏高，但几年之后，它的‘含金量’必然会体现。因为通过历来精品市场成交来看，大师级的工艺美术作品具有非常好的投资和升值潜力。”

 Zhongnanhai custom furnishings porcelain, arts and crafts masters of soapstone carving ...... Hanhai autumn auction in 2007, the first concert of contemporary arts and crafts and ancient antiques auction on the same stage, to join the collectors who works spending, compared with 95 5,100 million. In contrast, although 6.16 million yuan turnover is not high, Beijing Bo Concept 2007 autumn auction jade white Collectibles is a large-scale exhibition of contemporary jade carving circles of famous masters, the number has received the highest award of Chinese jade carving He said the "Heavenly Prize" winning entries eye-opener.

Contemporary arts and crafts not only in the limelight last autumn auction market, the beginning of 2008, more than 500 pieces including chicken king, suet white chicken, including Fu Yellowstone Balin boutique, unveiled Beijing love international collectibles market "prairie gem" Balin capital attracted a large number of collectors. The industry believes that arts and crafts works is not only people's admiration of things, master of fine also entered the collection of investment goods category.

Stone took the lead in the candidate countries

Changhua soapstone carving of a modern pavilion rockery Why create a record 13.44 million yuan? In addition to the national cattle sculptor Marx's talent, but also in that of the big chicken materials, pure and full of color, rare. Xinjiang Hetian jade, Liaoning Xiuyan, Inner Mongolia Balin, Fujian Shoushan stone, Qingtian stone facing the candidate countries stone resource depletion, because the ancient mining continues, having a good quality stone products almost rare. Today, Bloodstone once appeared on the collector market was abroad collectors snapped up, while the other candidate countries are also stone collection of contemporary arts and popular.

Although Bloodstone hot in private collections, but there has been no accurate market positioning. Hanhai autumn auction last year to try to launch the "National Stone" special, a 10 Bloodstone original stone ornaments, there are five sold over a million dollars. "Through a public auction, as well as National Stone Bloodstone, particularly craft masters guidance of a future market position." Hanhai auction company vice president Zhang Yuejin representation.

Balin is a recent collection of stone products in another circle star, "a stone of 3,000 yuan, a year rose to between 20,000 yuan." It is understood that Balin last year rose about five times to six times, at Beijing Hanhai autumn auction last year in Bahrain on shot three stone crafts all transactions, which Balin Qiaodiao octopus ornaments sold for 896,000 yuan.

Market shift our attention not thin thick old today

"Collectors often get a thing, first to see whether the old year, enough years, as long as the 'Dah Sing live' is dismissive." Thin thick old today, this is the long-standing Chinese tradition of collection of ideas. "If it was three generations of emperors Kangxi is 'will the Shang and Zhou Yu, Song and Yuan porcelain will' of the 'new living' dismissive, it will not appear in the heyday of art Qing Dynasties situation, there would be so many artistic treasures spread So far, "a collection of collectors have realized the concept of" short-legged. "

"Heyday of a new arts and crafts upcoming." Arts and crafts field masters and experts assert. Since the 1980s, as China's social stability, economic development, especially in private collections and the art market continues to heat up, the long-silent arts and crafts industry has long sprout new vitality. "In terms of technical means, the choice of themes, and other aspects of sophistication, contemporary arts and crafts have exceeded their predecessors."

Contemporary jade carving, for example, Austrian rock that "Chinese jade carving is entering the peak of an artistic" raw jade becoming more perfect, more sophisticated technology, we jade men, "Chinese jade carving contemporary art not only becoming collectibles, it is becoming a new investment. "

"Changhua chicken blood son carved pavilion Hill hit a special price and good trading performance, the market has released a signal." Zhang Yuejin said that the new arts and crafts are also a lot of money, a number of powerful collection of groups, and this group has been the auction market ignored. "This auction that we find this group, and guide them to collect contemporary master craftsman of outstanding works of contemporary folk handicrafts original only in transactions can enter the auction market and get a good price."

China Arts and Crafts Association Secretary-General Wang Shan groups according to the economic capacity of the collection is divided into third gear, the monthly income of 5,000 yuan as a file, 5000-10000 yuan as a file, a file of more than 10,000 yuan. He believes that now is not the collection of cultural relics market monthly income of less than $ 10,000 one can accept this, on one hand is expensive, on the other hand there is confusion authenticity, high risk. "If the same money invested in contemporary arts and crafts, not only was it true, people really, and artistic value and collection potential masters are also very good, which is the collection point of view the reasons for migration."

Loving collection market Liao Wang Liming stone club did decades Balin business, "Balin prices have been rising, but the frequency and magnitude of the speed problem, and now a piece of seal material prices in the 5000-10000 yuan, but the press international price conversion, one or two will reach the top grade soapstone $ 150,000, if the price compared with the domestic prices, domestic prices have not yet reached international standards, let alone reach the apex. " He explained that only produced in Balin Balin Right Banner, Inner Mongolia, the main varieties of soapstone, steatite and color stone, the same as a non-renewable mineral resources, compared with Shoushan stone, Qingtian stone, Chang fossils, mining resources development short time Balin, as favorites value rises foreshadowed.

Contemporary arts and crafts market was undoubtedly the most significant rise in emerald, jade and other precious stone crafts, this phenomenon was dubbed the Tibetan community staged "Crazy Stone." China Gems & Jewelry Trade Association of the Austrian jade Branch Secretary Yan said that in 2007 the jade materials and jade markets finished a turbulent year, including jade and white jade raw materials, including hot market, led the market price of the finished product pulled up, especially famous is famous throughout the jade raw materials and finished products were tested market "bull."

Austrian rock believed, famous contemporary artists with the same level compared to the old jade pieces not only lower prices, but also has a high humanistic values ​​and investment in space, but also to contemporary jade carving artwork selling reasons.

Master of fine optimistic about the potential of unique skills

A large number of workers of the old US industry business failures, a lot of arts and crafts masters diaspora, many skills on the brink of extinction ...... Arts and Crafts tradition once in jeopardy, but what about collection market? Now in protection, brought together 102 arts and crafts masters of Beijing hundred Museum Workshop, deputy director Zhang said, the arts and crafts masters like Beijing carved lacquer craft a kind of deep, tight resources work, has come to the point where money can not buy .

In 2003, a pair of octagonal plum lacquer master asking price is only 800 yuan a bottle gourd, is now the same size bottle gourd even octagonal plum production lines, one would have $ 10,000. As for the big bottle, even out to 10 million can not get too down.

Cloisonne, purple, embroidery, bamboo, wood carving and other contemporary arts and crafts also frequently call. Arts and crafts masters orders overwhelmed. Some high fame, older masters of the orders received as much in his lifetime I am afraid that difficult to complete.

Look at the auction market, we have contemporary Yixing, porcelain, jade, Yan carving, lacquer ware, tapestry, guqin, red sandalwood furniture figure. For example, is listed as the guqin and tapestry world intangible cultural heritage, in Hanhai autumn auction last year, the contemporary violin master craftsman Peng lasted more than two years to complete the banana leaf piano to 112,000 yuan turnover; by the Suzhou Embroidery Research Institute the late national arts master Xu Shaoqing design, advanced technology division five more than a year together to complete tapestry work, "Peony Michikage screen" for collectors sought after of 112 million yuan turnover.

Any kind of art market fire, fraud also began to follow up, as if we are the laws of collection market. Various works of art known as a master craftsman in the name of so and so everywhere in the collection market, and each piece is expensive. In fact, the Chinese Arts is the highest honor awarded our traditional arts and crafts industry workers, since 1979 organizational review, a total of five sessions, a total of 161 people was the fifth Chinese arts and crafts masters title last year, so far, Top Chinese arts and crafts masters, a total of 365.

Zhang Xin chao, in order to meet the market, the tendency of contemporary arts and crafts market the easy way out is also very common, low-grade imitations of artistic standards far, the name of arts and crafts, arts and crafts without reality.

"If you're buying is the real masterpieces, perhaps now higher than the market price, but after a few years, it's 'gold' is bound to reflect, because by historical boutique market turnover of view, master of arts and crafts It works with a very good investment and appreciation potential. "

三年涨十倍“帝后合一”最罕见 Bloodstone 10 times value in 3 years

鸡血石那一抹鲜活纯正、淋漓如血的红色，华贵而不失朴实，艳丽而不失典雅。清代皇帝康熙、乾隆都曾拿它做自己的印玺，慈禧太后更对其钟爱有加。 1972年中日建交，周恩来总理精心挑选了一对“大红袍”鸡血石赠送给前来访问的日本首相田中角荣，立刻引发了一场鸡血石收藏热潮，其余波所及，又在香 港、台湾和东南亚地区引起巨大反响。为何看似普通的鸡血石会受到如此高的礼遇呢？千百年来它的价值到底体现在哪里？

“帝后合一”品种值得关注
夏增昆告诉记者，1999年昌化出了一种极其罕见的鸡血石——鸡血石和田黄石生在一起的原石，被藏界尊称为“帝后合一”，近10年来共发现千余块， 弥补了鸡血石的一个空白，目前是鸡血石中最为罕见的品种之一。比如夏增昆手里藏有一块比较普通的“帝后合一”原石，2006年由胡建康大师雕刻出一件“帝 后合一”的作品，于2008年4月23日在央视《鉴宝》栏目被专家估价80万元。2007年昌化一个石农挖出三块“帝后合一”的顶尖原石，当时就被藏家出 价8000万元购得。
鸡血石价格由“色”而定
到底哪些是决定鸡血石价格高低的主要因素？收藏投资时如何选择？有多年收藏和投资经验的鸡血石资深藏家裴岑告诉记者，主要考虑颜色、血量和硬度。首 先颜色是第一位的，因为鸡血石尊鲜红者为贵，品评鸡血石，首先是看“血”的红色，以其鲜、凝、厚为佳。鲜者红如淋漓之鲜血，凝者聚而不散，厚者指有厚度有 层次深透于石层中。颜色越鲜红越艳丽则越受追捧，但是强调要鲜，仿佛是刚流出的鸡血，那种死板呆滞的干红价格就大打折扣。其次，看血量。鸡血石讲究血量不 仅要多，而且要分布集中。一般一块石头含70%的血量即被认为上品，70%到80%之间被誉为“大红袍”，80%以上为极品鸡血石。连续片状分布的血就比 较贵，线状血次之，散点血更次。最后看硬度，由于鸡血石绝大多数是用来篆刻作印章使用的，因此硬度很重要。同等条件下，硬度越低的越利于篆刻，而且石质更 细腻温润，价格自然就高。一般把硬度低于3度的鸡血石归为软，硬度高于3度的称为硬。鸡血石里又硬又干红的品种较差，达不到收藏级别。
巴林鸡血石VS昌化鸡血石
史洪岳指出，很多初级入门的鸡血石收藏者往往有些误区。巴林鸡血石几乎都是硬度偏软的，所以显得也比昌化鸡血石温润透亮。因此，初玩鸡血石的人会比 较喜欢巴林鸡血石，因为巴林鸡血石一看就要比昌化鸡血石透亮温润且显得更红，因此同样尺寸的低端巴林鸡血石要比昌化鸡血石贵几倍。但由于巴林石颜色不稳 定，随着时间的推移会逐渐褪色，原来鲜红的颜色会变淡变黑，因此高端收藏者花大价钱一般不会选择巴林鸡血石。相比之下，昌化鸡血石就比较稳定，高端的鸡血 石领域，昌化鸡血石价格就远远高于巴林鸡血石。巴林鸡血石里最好的是“鸡血王”，“地”很黑，血十分鲜红。
鸡血石收藏讲求“血”和“地”
中国珠宝玉石首饰行业协会玉石专家史洪岳告诉记者，鸡血石在宝玉石分类中属玉类，是玉石之中的佼佼者。目前，最著名的鸡血石按产地命名分别是昌化鸡 血石和巴林鸡血石。宝玉石在世界各地均有产出，唯鸡血石为中国独有。昌化位于浙江临安。昌化鸡血石是辰砂与高岭石、地开石、叶蜡石等多矿物共生的集合体。 巴林位于内蒙古赤峰，其主要成分是高岭石和硬水铝石。鸡血石由“地”和“血”两部组成。辰砂，俗称朱砂、丹砂，是鸡血石“血”的主要成分，有鲜红、大红、 紫红、淡红等。鸡血石没有固定的形状，它的色状有块血、条血、梅花血、浮云血。块血分布没有规律，有的块石表面有一大块红色，而里面一点红的都没有，有的 恰恰相反，所以购买鸡血石毛料风险很大。梅花血像梅花开放一样，整个石头都是星星点。浮云血生在宽带或条带的间接处，既像条血又像梅花血。“血”讲究要连 续鲜红凝厚。
从其质地来看，冻地鸡血石为上品，软地鸡血石次之，硬钢板地最次，因为其硬度过大不适合手工篆刻，而且产量最大。冻地鸡血石又有田黄冻、刘关张、牛角冻、羊脂冻、桃花冻等多种质地色别，其中田黄冻、牛角冻及羊脂冻鸡血石最为珍贵。

鸡血石质地变化多端，肌理纹路及血色分布的景观是其他玉类所无法比拟的。因此千百年来鸡血石在治印、工艺雕刻、珍藏赏玩等领域，以其自身价值构成了“鸡血石文化”，同寿山田黄并列，享有“印石之宝”的美称。

Bloodstone that touch of pure fresh, dripping blood as red, luxurious yet simple, gorgeous yet elegant. Qing Dynasty Emperor Kangxi and Qianlong had to do their own carries this seal, the Empress Dowager Cixi more plus their favorite. Japan established diplomatic relations in 1972, Premier Zhou Enlai carefully selected a pair of "Big Red" Bloodstone presented to Japanese Prime Minister Tanaka's visit, and immediately sparked a wave of collection Bloodstone, remaining wave clinics, but also in Hong Kong, and Taiwan Southeast Asia caused great repercussions. Why seemingly ordinary soapstone will be such a high courtesy it? For thousands of years its value in the end is reflected in where?

"Empress one" species of concern

Xiazeng Kun told reporters that in 1999 out of an extremely rare Changhua Bloodstone - Bloodstone Hotan Shi-Sheng Huang with original stone, the Tibetan community is known as "Empress unity" in the past 10 years, it was found more than a thousand pieces, make up soapstone is a blank, is currently one of the most rare species heliotrope. For example, possession of a hand Xia Zengkun more general "Empress one" stone, in 2006 by carving out a master 胡建康 "Empress one" works on April 23, 2008 in CCTV "Kam-Po" section experts estimate is 800,000 yuan. 2007 Changhua a stone dug up three agricultural "Empress one" top of the original stone, at the time was 80 million yuan bid collectors bought.

Bloodstone price by the "color" may be,

Which in the end is to determine the price level of the main factors Bloodstone? How to choose when the collection of investment? Has many years of experience in the collection and investment soapstone experienced collectors Pei Cen told reporters that the main consideration color, blood and hardness. First Color is the first, because soapstone statue red by the expensive tasting Bloodstone, first look "blood" red, with its fresh, condensate, thick better. The fresh are dripping red as blood, the condensate and leave together, it refers to the thickness of the thick layered deep penetration in the stone layer. The more red the color the more beautiful the more popular these days, but stressed the need to fresh, as if just out of the chicken, the kind of rigid sluggish red prices greatly reduced. Secondly, look at the blood. Bloodstone pay attention not only to be more blood, but also the distribution of concentration. Usually a stone containing 70% of the blood is considered the top grade, known as 70% to 80% "Big Red", more than 80% of the best soapstone. Blood continuous sheet distributed to more expensive, followed by linear blood, blood scatter more times. Finally look at the hardness, since the vast majority of soapstone carving for use as a seal, so the hardness is very important. Under the same conditions, the lower the hardness of the more beneficial carving, stone and more delicate and moist, the price of natural high. Usually the hardness of less than 3 degrees soapstone classified as soft, hardness higher than 3 degrees called hard. Soapstone was hard and red varieties poor, reach collection levels.

VS Bahrain Bloodstone Bloodstone

History Kogaku pointed out that many of the primary entry soapstone collectors often some misunderstanding. Bahrain Soapstone almost all soft hardness, it also appears moist translucent than Bloodstone. Therefore, early play Bloodstone people would prefer Bahrain Bloodstone, because Bahrain Soapstone will look bright and moist than Bloodstone and redder, so the same size than the low-end Bahrain Bloodstone Bloodstone several times more expensive. However, due to the color Balin unstable over time it will gradually fade, the original bright red color fades to black, so the high-end collectors generally do not choose to spend millions Bahrain Bloodstone. In contrast, Bloodstone is more stable, high-end field Bloodstone, Bloodstone Bloodstone price is much higher than Bahrain. Soapstone is the best in Bahrain "chicken king", "earth" very dark, very bright red blood.

Bloodstone collection emphasizes "blood" and "ground"

China Gems & Jewelry Trade Association, Shi Kogaku jade experts told reporters that the case Bloodstone gem jade class category, is the leader among the jade. Currently, the most famous are named according to origin Bloodstone Bloodstone Bloodstone and Bahrain. Gem output throughout the world, the only soapstone is unique to China. Changhua Lin'an in Zhejiang. Bloodstone is cinnabar and kaolinite, dickite, pyrophyllite, and other minerals symbiotic aggregate. Bahrain is located in Chifeng in Inner Mongolia, whose main component is kaolinite and diaspore. Bloodstone by the "ground" and "blood" two components. Cinnabar, commonly known as cinnabar, cinnabar, soapstone is the "blood" of the main ingredients, there are red, red, purple, pink and so on. Bloodstone no fixed shape, its color like a block of blood, pieces of blood, blood plum, clouds of blood. Block blood distribution is no law, and some have a large red stone surface, and which are not a little red, and some on the contrary, it is very risky to purchase soapstone wool. Plum plum blood like open, the entire stones are the stars points. Indirect blood born in clouds at broadband or strips, both blood like a slice plum blood. "Blood" pay attention to continuous red coagulation thick.

Its texture, the frozen ground soapstone for the top grade, soapstone soft ground, followed by a hard steel to most times because of its hardness is too large is not suitable for hand-carving, and the maximum yield. Frozen ground soapstone have Tianhuang frozen, Liu Guan, horns frozen, frozen mutton tallow, frozen peach color do other texture, which Tianhuang frozen, frozen horns and suet frozen soapstone most precious.

Bloodstone varied texture, landscape fabric texture and color distribution is the other kind of jade can not match. So for thousands of years in Indian governance soapstone, carving, and other areas of the Mid-Autumn collection, with its own values ​​constitutes a "heliotrope culture", tied with Shoushan Tianhuang enjoy "Indian stone treasure" reputation.

鸡血石受拍卖公司追捧 Bloodstone favored by auction company

昌化石、巴林石、寿山石、青田石并称为中国四大名石。1972年中日建交，周恩来馈赠给田中角荣一对昌化鸡血石精品印章。从此，鸡血石名 扬海内外，很快在日本、香港、台湾以及东南亚掀起了鸡血石热。上世纪80年代以来，“石商”、“石农”开始进行掠夺性开发。为了抢夺鸡血石，人们甚至在矿 洞里大动干戈。
最著名的鸡血石按产地命名分别是昌化鸡血石和巴林鸡血石。鸡血石的颜色有鲜红、淡红、紫红、暗红等，最可贵的是带有活性的鲜红血形。按质地一般主要 分为4大类：冻地鸡血石、软地鸡血石、软钢板地鸡血石和硬钢板地鸡血石。它同寿山田黄并列，享有“印石皇后”的美称，为中国印文化的发展作出了巨大贡献。 鸡血石因石头中具有鲜红色似鸡血的辰砂(朱砂)而得名。
杭州西边的昌化镇盛产一种石头，叫鸡血石。形成于7500万年前的火山活动，发现与开采已有一千多年历史。世界上已发现的鸡血石产地只有浙江昌化和内蒙古赤峰两处， 由于长期开采，存量已非常稀少。
矿区位于海拔1300米的玉岩山西北坡，这里所产的印石被统称为昌化石。昌化石颜色分为红、黄、褐、藕白、天蓝、豆青、肉膏、荸荠诸色，以灰白色居 多。凡其中间夹朱砂、质纯净、色鲜红如凝冻的鸡血者，称为“鸡血石”，历来跟玛瑙、翡翠、钻石一样被人们所珍视。一扇鸡血石屏风曾创下9100万人民币的 交易天价。
该区曾被定为禁区，但由于经济利益的巨大诱惑，几经封洞护矿均未成功。1991-1994年间，上山人数最多时达3000人/天，挖掘了大小矿洞近百个。机械化开发加速了鸡血石资源枯竭。一位已在矿区工作了二十多年的老工人说，近两年，鸡血石越来越难挖了。
古时人们相传，古代有一种神鸟，叫做“鸟狮”，生性很好斗。一天，觅食飞过玉岩山，见一凰正在孵蛋，顿生恶念，向其发起攻击。毫无准备的凰被咬断了 腿。凤闻讯赶到，同仇敌忾，一起战胜了“鸟狮”。凤凰虽然胜利了，但凰鲜血直流，染红了整个玉岩山，遂成了光泽莹透如美玉的鸡血石。

据博中国鸡血石网（www.jixueshi.com.cn)考证，鸡血石的开采始于宋代时期，而盛名于清代，康熙、乾隆、嘉庆等皇帝十分赏识昌化鸡血石，并将其作为宝玺的主要章料。国家邮政局日前发行的一套《鸡血石印》特种邮票印的就是两方宝玺。
由于昌化鸡血石闻名遐迩、历史悠久，历来备受文人墨客青睐，因此受欢迎程度以及价值都高于巴林鸡血石，为此存在鸡血石产地的鉴别问题。一般来看，昌 化鸡血石的血色为纯浓艳色，而巴林鸡血石的血色偏暗，多呈暗红色。昌化鸡血石的血形多呈条带状、片状和团块状，略具方向性，而巴林鸡血石的血形多呈棉絮 状、云雾 状，无方向性;昌化鸡血石的血浓集，而巴林鸡血石的血清散;昌化鸡血石不易褪色，而巴林鸡血石易褪色。此外，其在质地、硬度、韧度等方面也存在差异，只要 有经验，不难将其区别。

鸡血石价格连年飙升，但真正的上品一石难求，造假者就动手了。最初级的，是在普通的昌化石上涂红色颜料，再上一层透明树脂，或者真假拼接镶嵌;高级 的造假手段，是用石粉、颜料和树脂高压合成，这样的假鸡血石具有更大的欺骗性。如果您想投资鸡血石，博纳古董拍卖网建议您专门到玉山村。“这里的行家多， 假鸡血石在这里无法生存。”

Changhua fossils, Balin, Shoushan stone, Qingtian stone and known as China's four famous stone. 1972 Sino-Japanese diplomatic relations, Zhou Enlai Tanaka gifts to one pair Bloodstone Gifts seal. Since then, Yang Bloodstone name at home and abroad, and soon in Japan, Hong Kong, Taiwan and Southeast Asia set off a soapstone heat. Since the 1980s, "Stone business", "Stone farmers" begin predatory exploitation. To snatch Bloodstone, people even go to war in the mine cave.
The most famous are named according to origin Bloodstone Bloodstone Bloodstone and Bahrain. Bloodstone colors are red, pink, purple, dark red, the most valuable is shaped bright red blood with activity. Press texture generally divided into four categories: frozen ground soapstone, soapstone soft ground, mild steel and hard steel ground to Bloodstone Bloodstone. It tied with Shoushan Tianhuang enjoy "Indian Stone Queen" reputation, as China and India cultural development has made great contributions. Bloodstone because stones have bright red with blood like cinnabar (vermilion) named.
Changhua town west of Hangzhou, a rich stone, called soapstone. Formed in volcanic activity 75 million years ago, Discovery and exploitation of more than a thousand years of history. The world has discovered the origin Bloodstone Changhua, Zhejiang and Inner Mongolia Chifeng only two, due to the long exploitation, the stock has been very scarce.
Mine is located 1300 meters above sea jade rock Shanxi Mountains, where OVL produced collectively referred to as Chang fossils. Chang fossils color into red, yellow, brown, white lotus, sky blue, green beans, meat extract, water chestnuts various colors to gray home more. Where the intermediate folder cinnabar, Pure, color red with blood as Freezing who called "Bloodstone", always with agate, jade, diamonds are cherished. A soapstone screen has a record trading price of 91 million yuan.
The area has been designated as the restricted area, but because of the great temptation of economic interests, several seal retaining hole mine without success. 1991--1994 years, when the largest number of mountains over 3,000 person / day, and tap the size of the mined nearly a hundred. Accelerate the development of mechanization heliotrope resource depletion. Who has worked for twenty years in the mining area of ​​older workers said that in recent years, more and more difficult to dig Bloodstone.
According to legend, the ancient people, ancient there is a divine bird, called "bird lion", naturally good fight. One day, foraging flying jade rock, see a phoenix are hatching, sudden and devastating evil, its attack. Unprepared Phoenix was biting his leg. Phoenix heard the news arrived, against the common enemy, beat together the "bird lion." While Phoenix won, but Phoenix bled red jade rock the whole, then it became gloss Ying through as jade bloodstone.

According to Bo Chinese Soapstone Network (www.jixueshi.com.cn) research, soapstone mining began in the Song period, and reputation in the Qing Dynasty Emperor Kangxi and Qianlong, Jiaqing and so very appreciated Bloodstone, and as the Bao Xi The main chapter material. State Post Bureau recently issued a set of "Soapstone India" special stamps is printed on both sides Bao Xi.
Since Bloodstone famous, historic, traditionally highly favored men of letters, so the popularity and the value is higher than Bahrain Soapstone, discrimination exists for this problem Bloodstone origin. Generally, the Chang of Bloodstone Scarlet pure rich and gaudy colors, and Bahrain Bloodstone Scarlet dim, more dark red. Bloodstone blood mostly shaped strip, sheet and agglomerate, with little direction, while Bahrain Soapstone blood shaped mostly cotton wool, cloudy, no direction; Bloodstone blood concentration, Bloodstone and Bahrain serum scattered; Bloodstone not fade, while Bahrain soapstone fugitive. In addition, there are also differences in their texture, hardness, toughness, etc., as long as the experience, it is easy to distinguish it.

Bloodstone soaring prices in recent years, but the real top grade hard to find a stone, on the hands of counterfeiters. The most junior, is coated on a conventional fossil-chang red pigment, then a layer of transparent resin, or true and false mosaic mosaic; sophisticated means of fraud is the use of powder, pigment and resin pressure synthesis, so having a larger fake soapstone deceptive. If you want to invest in soapstone, Bona Antiques Auctions recommend you specifically to Yushan village. "There's more expert, false Bloodstone here can not survive."

432克田黄石拍出400万 买家笑称至少赚千万 Yellowstone sold for profits of 10 million RMB

该田黄石昨天以400万元底价拍卖成交

昨天，一块重仅432克、起拍价为400万元的田黄石现身佛山的一场艺术拍卖会，最终由买家梁女士竞得这块天价田黄石。

    据悉，最近几年，产于福建省寿山乡的田黄石价格一路看涨，田黄石属于寿山石中极为名贵的品种，田黄在清代就有“一两田黄三两金”的说法。

    据收藏专业人士陈先生介绍，2005年底田黄石平均价格是4000元/克，这比当年5月已经高出了40%，而到了2006年，田黄石的市场平均价格已达到了8000元/克，其中有些精品的价格甚至超过了1万元/克。

    随着田黄石身价暴涨，也屡屡在拍卖市场创下纪录，2006年10月份在香港举办一场秋季艺术品拍卖会上，一块重量超过200克的“明17世纪田黄石雕瑞狮纸镇”以4167.92万元被一买家获得，创下了寿山石雕世界拍卖纪录。

    另外一方田黄石雕狮钮方章，成交价也达到了297.648万元。而在去年北京举办的春季拍卖会上，顺德藏家的一块田黄石拍出了6500多万元的高价，平均每克田黄石价格达到了数万元。

    田黄石雕起拍价400万

    昨天的拍卖会共有60多件拍品，除元代元均釉酒杯、南宋均鸡心形水注、竹节留竹形手柄青釉壶等瓷制品外，还有几块标价在28万元到500万元之间的田黄石雕。其中首先竞拍的是一块重仅432克、起拍价为400万元的田黄石雕。

    中年女士成功竞得拍品

    记者看到，这块田黄石微微透明，色泽有点像橘子皮，外形呈卵石状，表面光嫩圆滑，并没有明显的棱角。最后由一位中年女士夺得了该项竞拍品。

    拍卖会结束后，该买家接受记者采访时透露她姓梁，家族世代从事珠宝生意，这块田黄石是早就看好了的。采访中，梁女士称，这块石头是珍宝，她自见到起就想将其收入囊中。

    昨天采访中，梁女士还打开随身携带的手电，教记者田黄石的鉴定之道。当手电光打在石头上时，石头马上变成了橘黄色，石头里面出现了些微的黑点和淡淡的细纹。梁女士说，黑点叫芝麻粒，细纹则是萝卜纹，这些都是上等黄石的特征。

    “这块石头没买贵，我至少挣了一千万。”针对记者提出的田黄石是否价格太高的问题，梁女士连连摇头。“反正不会贬值，我打算收藏，遇到合适的买家，也可能出手。”梁女士已经为这块田黄石找好了出路。

    昨天，记者也采访到石头的持有者陈先生。陈先生是中南大学精细化研究所和艾通新材料研究所的教授。陈先生告诉记者，这块石头是他家的传家宝，为搞科研他才卖掉石头。

    小知识：

    鉴别田黄石

   看红筋、萝卜纹、卷花

    福建寿山田黄石、浙江青田石、昌化鸡血石等被誉为“印石三宝”，其中田黄石更由于石质极佳且寓意吉祥，更被誉为“印石之冠”、“万石之王”、“帝石”等。

    自古田黄石就有“一两田黄三两金”之说，且“黄金易得，田黄难求”，自2006年初开始田黄石更是身价暴涨，价格达到数万元/克，屡屡创下拍卖天价。

    在去年北京举办的春季拍卖会上，顺德藏家的一块田黄石拍出了6500多万元的高价，平均每克田黄石价格达到了数万元。

    随着田黄石身价暴涨，仿制假冒田黄石牟取巨额暴利的现象也屡见不鲜。收藏专家表示，由于“红筋”与“萝卜纹”是田黄石与众不同的特殊肌理，再加上田黄石质地温润细腻，刀刻下去有卷花等，因此鉴别田黄石主要从这“红筋”、“萝卜纹”与刀刻卷花等三方面入手。

    此外，由于目前田黄石价格奇高，因此收藏专家建议交易时最好请专家帮忙把脉

鸡血石以“血”论价 Bloodstone is valued by BLOOD

2008中国嘉德秋拍中一块昌化鸡血石山子摆件拍得1,792,000元，是近年来嘉德拍卖中拍价最高的一块鸡血石作品。让人不禁感叹鸡血石的价格正在向 着与其“石后”的身份相符的方向前进。清代民间就流传有“一两田黄三两金，昌化鸡血石没有价”。作为传统印章中的“印料之王”的鸡血石已成为收藏家眼中的 “上上品”。到底哪些是决定鸡血石价格高低的主要因素?收藏投资时如何选择?本刊记者采访了相关人士。

　　开采历史已有千年


　　鸡血石被称为“石后”，一因稀少，二因用处特殊。


　　稀少，是因为世界只有中国有，我国最早发现的鸡血石是浙江昌化玉岩山鸡血石。后来又发现了内蒙古赤峰市巴林右旗的巴林鸡血石。20世纪90年代又在陕 西、甘肃、四川、湖南、云南等地发现了鸡血石。由于现在的昌化朱砂(汞矿)已近尾声，所以出产的鸡血石产量相当有限，所以昌化鸡血石因开采历史长，存世量 少而最为珍贵。


　　出产于浙江省临安市浙西大峡谷源头玉岩山的昌化鸡血石，形成于7500万年前的火山活动，发现和开采已有1000多年历史。清乾隆年间所修的《浙江通 志》记载："昌化县产图章石，红点若朱砂，亦有青紫如玳瑁，良可爱玩，近则罕得矣"，由此一方面可见当时昌化鸡血石在民间的流行与影响;另一方面也从中得 知那时候就开采得差不多了。


　　而用处，一般用于印章和雕刻品，达官显贵的印章，尤其是国玺，以及国际之间的友谊赠品。如康熙、乾隆、咸丰、同治、宣统皇帝、慈禧太后均以鸡血石为宝 玺，毛泽东主席也曾经使用和珍藏昌化鸡血石。1784年，乾隆下江南，临安天目山禅源寺主持曾献8厘米昌化石一方，乾隆大喜，即刻"乾隆之宝"四字，并注 明"昌化鸡血石"。1972年，中日恢复邦交，周恩来总理选用昌化鸡血石作为国礼，馈赠日本田中角荣首相珍品印章一对。


　　鸡血石价格每年平稳增长


　　专家分析认为，鸡血石从古至今被人们喜欢的原因有几个：首先，鸡血石的颜色红艳如鸡血，民间一直就有用鸡血驱鬼避邪的说法;其次，鸡血石红艳似火，有 象征红红火火之意;但最主要的原因是鸡血石产量现在越来越少，精品更是十分难得。由于鸡血石矿中含有汞，国家曾经大规模采矿炼汞，现在剩余的鸡血石量就很 少。


　　近年来鸡血石价格的攀升在拍卖市场上体现得十分明显，2003年5月北京翰海拍卖会上一件清代鸡血石方章成交价仅为8000元，2005年12月品质 相当的一件清代鸡血石方章价格迅速涨到120000元，2007年12月，北京翰海秋季拍卖会举办了“日精月华——国石艺术”专场拍卖，一块由国家级雕刻 大师牛克思所雕的“昌化鸡血石雕楼阁山子”更是以1344万元人民币成交，创下了当时中国当代工艺品的最高价格纪录。


　　曾经有媒体报道，鸡血石3年涨10倍，一位做鸡血石买卖多年的老板告诉记者，这种说法有炒作之嫌，鸡血石的市场价格没有出现短时间暴涨的情形，而是比 较平缓的增长。近几年，尤以鸡血石和田黄石市场走势越来越高。一方面，鸡血石的总体产量和精品数量大不如昔，而另一方面，收藏队伍的逐渐扩大，导致其价格 逐年攀升。正是由于其资源的极缺性，有眼力和能力的收藏投资者收藏鸡血石定会有不错的回报。


　　鲜血淋漓价最高


　　有多年收藏和投资经验的鸡血石资深藏家告诉记者，收藏鸡血石主要考虑颜色、血量和硬度。首先颜色是第一位的，因为鸡血石尊鲜红者为贵，品评鸡血石，首 先是看“血”的红色，以其鲜、凝、厚为佳。鲜者红如淋漓之鲜血，凝者聚而不散，厚者指有厚度有层次深透于石层中。颜色越鲜红越艳丽则越受追捧，但是强调要 鲜，仿佛是刚流出的鸡血，那种死板呆滞的干红价格就大打折扣。其次，看血量。鸡血石讲究血量不仅要多，而且要分布集中。一般一块石头含70%的血量即被认 为上品，70%到80%之间被誉为“大红袍”，80%以上为极品鸡血石。连续片状分布的血就比较贵，线状血次之，散点血更次。最后看硬度，由于鸡血石绝大 多数是用来篆刻作印章使用的，因此硬度很重要。同等条件下，硬度越低的越利于篆刻，而且石质更细腻温润，价格自然就高。一般把硬度低于3度的鸡血石归为 软，硬度高于3度的称为硬。鸡血石里又硬又干红的品种较差，达不到收藏级别。

另外鸡血石的地也是判断鸡血石的重要依据。地就是红色染在什么样的石头上。鸡血石的地以纯净、半透明，无钉与血之鲜红色彩交相辉映者为上品。鸡血石的品样可分为方形、长方形、椭圆形、圆形、畸形，尺寸大致以5——2厘米的径边为宜。


　　鸡血石的质地细腻，带韧性，结构紧密，受刀不崩，是做印章的上佳材料。专家表示，好的鸡血石都不加雕琢。红色“鸡血”以外，底色尚有黑、白、黄、绿、 蓝、灰褐、紫、青等基本颜色，再加上浓淡深浅不一的各种色彩相互融合，天然浑成，不须人工雕凿，已构成一幅幅自然美丽的图案。“可以这么说，凡是加雕刻的 鸡血一般都为遮掩其疵，是不足为贵的。”

　　选购鸡血石毛料风险大

　按质地，鸡血石一般分为冻地鸡血石、软地鸡血石、软钢板地鸡血石和硬钢板地鸡血石4大类。顾名思义，从色状上分类，有块血、条血、梅花血、浮云血等几种 类型。"块血"的分布没有规律，东生-块、西生一块，有的块石表面有一大块红色，而里面面一点红的都没有;有的恰拾相反，所以购买鸡血石毛科风险很大。" 条血"的分布相对有规律。"梅花血"则象梅被开放一样，整个石头都是星星点。"浮云血"生在宽带或条带的间接处，即象条血又象梅花血，更象天上的浮云一 样。鸡血石的颜色有鲜红、淡红、紫红、暗红等，最可贵的是带有活性的鲜红血形。

　　懂行收藏者偏爱昌化鸡血石

　　昌化鸡血石闻名于世之后，在内蒙古巴林右旗也发现了鸡血石。但是两地的鸡血石石质不同。巴林鸡血石，透明度好、质地温润、颜色更鲜嫩。如果两块刚开采 不久的昌化石和巴林石放在一起，人们都会认为巴林鸡血石的颜色更好看，所以一般不太懂行的人都会选择购买巴林鸡血石，但是巴林鸡血石有个致命弱点，它的颜 色不稳定，随着时间的推移会逐渐褪色，原来鲜红的颜色会变淡变黑，因此高端收藏者花大价钱一般不会选择巴林鸡血石。相比之下，昌化鸡血石就比较稳定，高端 的鸡血石领域，昌化鸡血石价格就远远高于巴林鸡血石。

　　作伪方法有4招

　　物一稀，作伪者就多了起来，有几种作伪的方法比较常见。

　　镶嵌法，采一质地较好的昌化石章，选择几面醒目的地方，分别挖出一个个深浅不一的小坑，然后用红色的流化汞涂料嵌入，待其自然阴干后，再磨光上蜡。不过，这种嵌入的鸡血(硫化汞)没有层次，同时血与昌化石的交接处色泽生硬，没有过渡。

　　浸渍法，取一方昌化石，在需要的地方涂上硫化汞，阴干再涂，再阴干，使其血稍有层次，然后放在透明的树脂里浸渍，务使周身浸到，拾起晾干，再用细水沙打光即成。用这种方法因树脂易老化，日久表皮会泛黄，与内部的石色不相协调;同时树脂表皮的毛孔比较粗。

　　切片贴皮法，用切割机把石章的六个平面分别切割出薄如纸的六面。在需要的地方涂上硫化汞。待晾干后再用热烫的办法和以胶水把原来切割下来的六个薄片按 原样贴回去，然后把薄片与胶合处的线角磨光。这样鸡血的红色看起来生在石章里面，而且自然分布。但血的层次毕竟只能停留在一个平面上。

　　添补法，这是在真鸡血石上，再添加硫化汞，并在添加的部分表面罩上一层极薄的树脂，磨光后即成。这类方法是在血上加血，无疑是锦上添花，价值大增。同时真中有假、假假真真。

　　如何鉴别

　　鉴别鸡血石真假，一般用眼观、手摸、雕刻或打磨就基本可以立判真伪。

　　1、假鸡血没有银斑，色度深浅不匀，线条粗细不一，花纹不自然，排列不符合鸡血赋存规律，肉眼细观极易区别。

　　2 、质地，有的鸡血石用塑胶化合物假造，完全没有石感，用刀刻也没有石屑粉。用砂布细磨，真鸡血石材会呈石粉状而有朱砂红之现象，化合物则没有;用刀雕刻，假鸡血石下刀后呈塑质之卷曲碎屑，能感觉出来;用火烧，假鸡血石会有烧焦的胶臭味，真鸡血石则不会;

　　3 、重量：真鸡血石的重量较沉稳，假鸡血的重量较轻浮

 2008 China Jia Deqiu shot in a Changhua chicken Dan Shanzi ornaments photograph 1,792,000 yuan, in recent years, shot the highest price in the auction Guardian piece of soapstone works. People can not help but sigh Bloodstone price is moving towards its "stone" after befitting direction. Qing Dynasty folk to spread the "twelve tianhuang thirty-two gold, Bloodstone no price." As a traditional seal of the "King of printed materials," the soapstone has become the eyes of collectors, "the top grade." Which in the end is to determine the price level of the main factors Bloodstone? How to choose when collection of investment? Our reporter interviewed stakeholders.

Mining has thousands of years of history


Bloodstone is known as "post-rock", due to a rare, two due to use special.


Scarce, because the world has only China, the earliest discovered soapstone jade rock Zhejiang Changhua soapstone. Later it was found in Inner Mongolia Chifeng City Balinyouqi Bahrain Bloodstone. In the 1990s and in Shaanxi, Gansu, Sichuan, Hunan, Yunnan and other places discovered soapstone. Now that the Changhua cinnabar (mercury) is almost complete, so Bloodstone yield produced is quite limited, so long mining history because Bloodstone, survive in the world less and most precious.


Produced in Lin'an City, Zhejiang Grand Canyon West Zhejiang jade source rock of Bloodstone, formed in volcanic activity 75 million years ago, the discovery and exploitation of more than 1,000 years of history. Qingqionglongniujian the repair of "Zhejiang Annals" record: "Changhua County seal stone production, if cinnabar red spots, such as the hawksbill also bruising, lovely play good, too near the rare men", which on the one hand was visible Chang prevalence and impact of soapstone in the private sector; the other hand, from that time on mined almost the same.


The use, generally used for seals and carvings, dignitaries seal, especially the Great Seal, and the friendship between the international gifts. Such as the Kangxi and Qianlong, Xianfeng, Tongzhi, Xuantong emperor, Empress Dowager Cixi are soapstone as Bao Xi, Chairman Mao Zedong also had the use and collection Bloodstone. In 1784, Emperor Qianlong down the south, the source of Zen Temple Lin'an Tianmu has presided offer 8 cm Chang fossils party Qianlong overjoyed instantly "Qianlong Treasure" words, and marked "Bloodstone." In 1972, the Sino-Japanese rapprochement, Premier Zhou Enlai Bloodstone chosen as a national gift, gift Japanese Prime Minister Tanaka treasures Along couple.


Bloodstone prices steady annual growth


Experts believe that, since ancient times by people like soapstone for several reasons: First, heliotrope color Hongyan, such as chicken, with chicken folk have been saying evil exorcism; secondly, heliotrope Hongyan fire, symbolic Italy's booming; but the main reason is soapstone now yield less and less quality is very rare. Since soapstone ore containing mercury, mercury refining countries have large-scale mining, and now the remaining amount of soapstone rarely.


In recent years, the rising price of soapstone in the auction market - was evident, in May 2003 Beijing Hanhai auction, a Qing Dynasty Soapstone party chapter sold only 8,000 yuan, in December 2005 quality quite a Qing Dynasty Bloodstone party chapter price quickly rose to 120,000 yuan, in December 2007, Beijing Hanhai autumn auction held "Nissei Yuet Wah - national stone Art" special auction, a piece of the sculptor carved by the national cattle Marx's "Bloodstone Thai pavilion mountain child "more is 13.44 million yuan turnover, setting a record at that time the highest price of Chinese contemporary arts and crafts.


There have been media reports, heliotrope 3 years up to 10 times, do a soapstone business owner for many years, told reporters, this argument has suspected of speculation, there is no market price situation Soapstone short spikes appear, but more moderate growth. In recent years, especially in soapstone Wada Yellowstone market trend is increasing. On the one hand, the overall yield and a large number of fine soapstone not ever, but on the other hand, gradually expanding collection team, resulting in prices rising year by year. It is precisely because of the scarcity, discerning its resources and capabilities to Favorites investor favorites soapstone there will be a good return.


Blood dripping highest price


Has many years of experience in the collection and investment soapstone experienced collectors, told reporters that the main consideration Bloodstone collection color, blood and hardness. First Color is the first, because soapstone statue red by the expensive tasting Bloodstone, first look "blood" red, with its fresh, condensate, thick better. The fresh are dripping red as blood, the condensate and leave together, it refers to the thickness of the thick layered deep penetration in the stone layer. The more red the color the more beautiful the more popular these days, but stressed the need to fresh, as if just out of the chicken, the kind of rigid sluggish red prices greatly reduced. Secondly, look at the blood. Bloodstone pay attention not only to be more blood, but also the distribution of concentration. Usually a stone containing 70% of the blood is considered the top grade, known as 70% to 80% "Big Red", more than 80% of the best soapstone. Blood continuous sheet distributed to more expensive, followed by linear blood, blood scatter more times. Finally look at the hardness, since the vast majority of soapstone carving for use as a seal, so the hardness is very important. Under the same conditions, the lower the hardness of the more beneficial carving, stone and more delicate and moist, the price of natural high. Usually the hardness of less than 3 degrees soapstone classified as soft, hardness higher than 3 degrees called hard. Soapstone was hard and red varieties poor, reach collection levels.

In addition to the Bloodstone Bloodstone it is also an important basis for judgment. Red dye on the ground is what kind of stone. Soapstone ground in pure, translucent, red color of blood and no nails each other for the top grade. Bloodstone product samples can be divided into square, rectangular, oval, round, deformity, roughly the size of 5-2 cm in diameter edge is appropriate.


Bloodstone fine texture, with toughness, structure, by knife does not collapse, it is doing a good seal material. Experts said the increase is not good soapstone carving. Other than red "chicken", there are background black, white, yellow, green, blue, gray brown, purple, blue and other basic colors, coupled with various shades of shades of color are blended into muddy natural, not to be artificial carving, depicting the natural beauty constituted a pattern. "It can be said, who added carved chicken are generally cover their faults, are insufficient to expensive."

Optional soapstone wool risks

Press texture generally divided into frozen ground soapstone soapstone, soapstone soft ground, mild steel and hard steel ground to Bloodstone Bloodstone four categories. As the name suggests, from the color classification like, a block of blood, pieces of blood, blood plum, clouds of blood and other types. "Block blood" irregular distribution, East Health - block, a born West, and some have a large red stone surface, while the inside surface of a little red are not; some just pick the contrary, so the purchase is risk soapstone gross Branch Big. "Article blood" distribution is relatively regular. "Plum Blood" is like plum are open, the entire stones are the stars points. "Cloud blood" born at broadband or indirect strip, that strip as blood and blood like plum, more like clouds in the sky the same. Bloodstone colors are red, pink, purple, dark red, the most valuable is shaped bright red blood with activity.

Knowledgeable collectors prefer Bloodstone

After Bloodstone famous, also found in Inner Mongolia Balinyouqi heliotrope. However different the two of soapstone stone. Bahrain Soapstone, transparency, moist texture, the color is more fresh. If the two newly mined near Chang fossils and Balin together, people will think Bahrain Soapstone colors look better, it is generally less knowledgeable people will choose to buy Bahrain Soapstone, but Bahrain Soapstone has a fatal weakness, its color unstable over time will gradually fade, the original bright red color fades to black, so the high-end collectors generally do not choose to spend millions Bahrain Bloodstone. In contrast, Bloodstone is more stable, high-end field Bloodstone, Bloodstone Bloodstone price is much higher than Bahrain.

Fake method 4 strokes

Was a thin, fake were up more, there are several fake way more common.

Mosaic Law, a better quality of mining Chang fossils chapter, select a few faces conspicuous places, one shades were dug pits, then embed streaming red mercury paint, let it dry naturally after, regrinding light wax. However, this embedded with blood (mercury sulfide) no hierarchy, while blood and Chang fossil junction color blunt, no transition.

Dipping, take one of Chang fossils, where needed mercury sulfide coated, dried and then cover, and then dried, so that blood levels slightly, and then placed in a transparent resin impregnated 务使 whole body immersed in, pick up dry , then fine polish Serve water and sediment. In this way because the resin easy to aging, long time, the skin will be yellow, stone color with the internal lack of coordination; while the relatively thick resin skin pores.

Slice skinning method, with stone cutting machine the six planes were cut out of chapter six-sided paper-thin. Where needed Apply mercury sulfide. Blanching to be dried and then used to glue the ways and cut down the six original sheet as is posted back, then line the sheet with glue at the corner finish. Such raw chicken blood red stone chapter looks inside, and natural distribution. But after all the blood level can only stay on a plane.

Fill method, which is the true heliotrope, add mercury sulfide, and added to the surface of the cover portion of a very thin layer of resin, polished Serve. Such methods are added to the blood in the blood, is undoubtedly the icing on the cake, the value increase. At the same time there is really false, false true.

How to identify

Bloodstone true and false identification, usually with sharp eyes, hands touch, engraving or grinding can basically established contractors authenticity.

1, no fake chicken silver spots, uneven color shades, lines of varying thickness, the pattern is not natural, the arrangement does not meet the chicken Preservative Law, meso easily distinguish visually.

2, texture, some soapstone with fake plastic compound, there is no sense of stone, with stone chips Daoke nor powder. Fine grinding with emery cloth, really Bloodstone powdered stone material will be presented and there is the phenomenon of red cinnabar, the compound is not; carving knife, the knife was a fake soapstone after plastic mass of curly debris can feel it; by fire, false Bloodstone have charred plastic smell, heliotrope is not true;

3, weight: Bloodstone true weight more sedate, lighter weight fake chicken floating

5斤重鸡血石卖了500万元 5kg bloodstone worth 5 million RMB

最近玉石收藏界热点不断，先是全国翡翠价格暴涨，而后又是黄龙玉横空出世。而沈阳收藏市场上却反应冷淡，与南方一些城市爆炒黄龙玉相比，沈阳收藏者更热衷鸡血石、寿山石、青田石等名石。
“疯狂石头”不只是黄龙玉
昨日上午11点，笔者来到鲁园古玩城，在一家玉石店内，一位高姓老板介绍说，“黄龙玉本是名不见经传的chr(39)小人物’，之所以在云南会涨 价，是因为在黄龙玉中发现了水胆，并且疑似水胆内有chr(39)活虫’，所以便被炒了起来，与和田玉和寿山石相比，它还算是新成员。”
此外，他还信誓旦旦地表示，黄龙玉的涨价不会对沈城市场造成任何冲击。现在鲁园古玩城只有一家商户从广州进了一块黄龙玉，约250克，出售价为500元。
而另一位女业主干脆直言说：“炒黄龙玉的根本就是外行，那玩意就是二氧化硅。玉讲究硬度，由于黄龙玉硬度与玉器较为相似，因此chr(39)混到’了玉器之中，沈阳的商户是不会接待这种chr(39)外来物’的。”
2.5公斤鸡血石卖到500万
沈阳一家玉石厂的李经理表示：“现在沈城市场并未受到黄龙玉的影响，沈阳古玩家喜欢什么就收藏什么，鸡血石、青田石和寿山石才是沈阳玩家的最爱。”
目前，沈阳市场上四大名石的价格却在不断走高，“3年前的寿山石印章才40万，现在一枚寿山石印章的市场价已达到200万，涨了4倍；而纯粹的田黄 石50克现在也可卖到40万的高价，究其原因，主要是因为这些名石在数量上的稀缺，仅仅2.5公斤的鸡血石就可出手500万。”
李经理分析说，除了一部分炒作的原因之外，最重要的是由于四大系名石属于稀缺资源，随着时间的推移，真正的精品开始逐渐稀缺，所以品种好的名石“一石难求”。
有趣的是，在以四大系名石为原料的产品中，印章比摆件等其他产品的价格更高。这主要是因为现在收藏者已经越来越重视石头自身的品质，不希望有太多后天雕刻的痕迹，所以名石印章虽小，价格却远在摆件等其他产品之上。
投资石头有风险需谨慎
“石头”的价格成十倍，甚至百倍的上涨，这样的收益足以吸引多数人的眼球。据介绍，并不是所有的石头价格都能大幅上涨，前提必须是本身品质好的名石，否则价格上涨的空间非常有限。只有品质好的名石，才能做到真正的有价有市。
对于如何正确理智地收藏玉器，业内人士均表示，从以往的经验来看，购买名石的人多数都作为收藏，从事专业投资的人并不多。
而且，名石和玉石的产品相对复杂，风险也比较大。普通人很少能在短时间内鉴别其真假、成色、品质和价值等等。在众多的玉石和名石产品中，能够升值的产品毕竟有限，所以没有一定的基本功，盲目出手，就极少有机会买到“货真价实”或者升值空间大的产品。

业内人士建议，“石头”风险较大，无论是决定投资还是收藏，都应该货比三家，同时三思而后行，切勿盲目跟风。

Recently jade collectors continue to focus, first national jade price spikes, and later the HuangLongYu turned out. The Shenyang collection market has reacted coolly, compared with some southern cities stir Huanglong, Shenyang collectors keener bloodstone, Shoushan stone, Qingtian stone of stone.
"Crazy Stone" is not just HuangLongYu
11:00 yesterday, I went to Lu Antique garden, in a jade shop, a high name owner, said, "This is HuangLongYu unknown chr (39) little people ', the reason will be price increases in Yunnan, because the water tank is found in Huanglong, and suspected in the water tank has a chr (39) live insects', so they fired up, and nephrite and Shoushan stone compared it be regarded as a new member. "
In addition, he vowed, HuangLongYu prices will not cause any impact on the Shenyang market. Now Lu Antique Market Garden only one business from Guangzhou into a piece of Huanglong, about 250 grams, the price of 500 yuan.
And another proprietress altogether bluntly said: "speculation HuangLongYu simply laymen, that thing is exquisite jade hardness silica, since Huanglong jade hardness is similar, therefore chr (39) mingled 'of the jade. the Shenyang business is not received such a chr (39) foreign matter 'is. "
2.5 kg soapstone sold 5 million
Shenyang, a jade factory Li said: "Now the market has not been affected HuangLongYu Shenyang, the Shenyang Old players like what you What, heliotrope, and Qingtian stone Shoushan stone is Shenyang favorite players."
Currently, the price of Shenyang on the market of the four famous stone has been constantly higher, "three years ago Shoushan stone seal was 400,000, now 一枚 Shoushan stone seal market price has reached 2 million, up 4 times; and pure Yellowstone 50 g now also sold 400,000 high prices, the reason is mainly because these famous stone in the number of rare, only 2.5 kg of soapstone can sell five million. "
Li analysts say, in addition to part of the reason speculation, most importantly, because of the four lines of stone are scarce resources, over time, began to truly boutique scarce, so a good variety of stone, "a stone is hard to find . "
Interestingly, in four major lines of stone-based products, the seal is higher than the price of other products such as ornaments. This is mainly because collectors have been increasing emphasis on the quality of the stone itself, does not want to have too many traces acquired sculpting of stone seal is small, the price is far above the ornaments and other products.
Stone Investment risks need to be cautious
"Stone" price tenfold, up or even a hundred, so income enough to attract most people's attention. According to reports, not all stones can be sharp price rise, the premise must be in itself a good quality of stone, otherwise prices space is very limited. Only good quality of stone, in order to be truly market has a price.
For proper sensible collection of jade, industry sources have said that from past experience, most people buy are as famous stone collection of specialized investment, not many people.
Moreover, of stone and jade products is relatively complex, the risk is relatively large. Few ordinary people can identify the true and false, purity, quality and value, and so in a short time. Among the many names of jade and stone products, it is possible to appreciate the products is limited, so there is no certain basic skills, blind shots, they rarely have the opportunity to buy a large "genuine" or appreciation of space products and services.
Industry insiders suggested that the "stone" risky, is to decide whether to invest or collection, should shop around, but think twice, do not blindly follow the trend.

大红袍鸡血石升值空间大解析 Bloodstone value appreciation analysis

中国四大名石之称的“石中皇后”鸡血石，是中国特有的珍贵石材，因其中的辰砂色泽艳丽，红色如鸡血，因此得名鸡血石。中国的鸡血石以浙江昌化鸡血最为出名。
当今盛产鸡血石的浙江昌化玉岩山基本已被掏空，山上基本无产量，其资源已近枯竭，有些矿主几年挖不到一块鸡血石。为保护稀缺资源，政府早在2002年就开始禁止鸡血石矿的开采。因此价格这几年呈几何级数上升，一二年翻一番、十来年上涨几十倍已习以为常。

石中“绝色”——大红袍鸡血石升值空间大
鸡血石最早于明代初期发现于浙江昌北龙岗镇囯石村。到了清朝，乾隆下江南，天目山禅源寺主持曾献8厘米高的一方昌化鸡血石印章，乾隆皇帝十分喜欢，制成“乾隆之宝”印，经常把玩。
为什么鸡血石会有这样大的升值空间呢?
有专家说，鸡血石的颜色艳如鸡血，民间一直有用鸡血驱鬼避邪的说法，并有鸡血的红红火火，象征事业兴旺、喜气之意，成为人间的吉祥之物。而它的珍贵 最主要的原因还是物以稀为贵，由于鸡血石矿中含有汞，国家曾经大规模采矿炼汞，当前剩余的鸡血石少之又少，精品更是十分难得，因此价格急剧蹿升成为理所当 然。
昌化鸡血石的硬度为摩氏2-2.5度，蜡状光泽，以血色、血形、血量和地子四方面评价原石的价值。血色具备“鲜、活、凝、厚”的为上品：鲜，指血色 的艳丽亮泽;活，指血色有灵气，像刚宰杀的鸡流淌下来鲜红淋漓的活血;凝，指血色聚而不散，成块面而不是零星的斑斑点点;厚，指血色有厚度、有层次、有深 度。若鸡血石方章，章璧六面满地皆红(也称六面见血，长方形印章六个面70%以上都布满红色血)，就是罕见的“大红袍”，十分珍贵。

一方“六面血”鸡血石章，就是印石界中说的“大红袍”，属于珍稀品种，一二百万人民币价格交易不足为奇，以后的升值空间应该还很大。

China's four famous stone called "post 石中皇" Bloodstone, precious stone is unique to China, because of which the cinnabar bright color, such as red with blood, hence the name bloodstone. China's Zhejiang Bloodstone Changhua chicken blood the most famous.
Today's Zhejiang Changhua Bloodstone rich jade rock has been substantially emptied, the mountain almost no yield nearly exhausted its resources, some years, miners dig a heliotrope. For the protection of scarce resources, the Government early in 2002 banned mining soapstone mine. So prices rise exponentially in recent years, doubling in 2012, ten years have become accustomed to rise several times.

Stone "stunning" - Bloodstone appreciation Dahongpao large space
Soapstone was first discovered in the early Ming Dynasty in Zhejiang Longgang Town Changbei country Ishimura. To the Qing Dynasty, Qianlong down the south, the source of Zen Temple in Mount has presided offer 8 cm high one Bloodstone Seal, Emperor Qianlong very fond of, made of "Qianlong Treasure" India, often playing.
Why is there such a large soapstone appreciation space?
Some experts say, heliotrope brilliant colors such as chicken, chicken folk have been useful to say exorcism of evil, and chicken booming, a symbol of prosperity, festive meaning, becoming the world's auspicious objects. The main reason for its precious or rare, since the Bloodstone ore containing mercury, mercury refining countries have large-scale mining, the current remaining few soapstone, fine is very rare, so the price shot up to become sharp granted.
Bloodstone Mohs hardness of 2-2.5 degrees, waxy luster to color, blood type, blood volume and to assess the value of the sub-four aspects of the original stone. Scarlet have "fresh, live, condensate, thick" for the top grade: fresh, referring to bloody gorgeous glossy; live, Aura refers to color, flowing down relic slaughtered chicken dripping red Huoxue; condensate, means without color poly scattered into pieces rather than sporadic face speckled; thick, bloody finger thickness, level, depth. If the soapstone side, chapter six sides all over the floor Pik Red (also known as six-sided blood, rectangular seal six faces are covered with more than 70% red blood) is a rare "Big Red", very precious.
Party "Six blood" Bloodstone chapter, stone circles in India is that the "Big Red", belong to rare species, two million transaction price of RMB is not surprising, after the appreciation of space should also be great.

鸡血石收藏热 Bloodstone fever

当黄金、白银价格暴跌时，艺术品收藏市场兴起了一股“鸡血石”收藏热，鸡血石的价格在疯长。记者近日走访重庆古玩市场发现，上等鸡血石价格翻番，但鸡血石珍品少，而且赌石的风险很大。
“昨天有个客人来我这里买了块鸡血石，以48万元成交。”收藏家林圣钟说，如今兴起了鸡血石收藏热，他在重庆做了8年的名石生意，去年同样大小和质 地的鸡血石在重庆最多只能卖到25万元，价格涨幅几乎翻了一番。据悉，鸡血石由于质地、血色分布等不同分为暖地、硬地和钢板地。“如果是钢板地就不值钱 了，在重庆市场上最多卖几百块钱，真正品相好的昌化暖地鸡血石才可以卖高价。”林圣钟说，重庆本地人很少愿意花高价购买昌化鸡血石，买来作家居饰品的居 多。一般上海、北京、福建那边的买家比较多。
“价格翻番的鸡血石，主要是昌化、巴林这样的精品，而大部分鸡血石的价格，只是保持平缓增长。”某收藏爱好者说，不同品质的鸡血石，未来价格变化的 幅度也完全不一样。鸡血石的品质根据鲜红血含量的多少来区别，如大于30％为高档品，大于50％为精品，大于70％则为珍品。预计重庆市场上的普通鸡血石 价格，年增幅度不会超过10%。

近几年来，随着鸡血石收藏品投资热和鸡血石赌石娱乐化，鸡血石的需求量在增加，价格更是水涨船高。“我们现在进货都非常 难了。”一位不愿意透露姓名的名石卖家告诉记者，随着上等鸡血石的价格越来越高，市场上冒充上等鸡血石的次品也越来越多，鸡血石的投资风险也在加大。近 10年来，随着市场对鸡血石的认可和追捧，鸡血石的开采力度越来越大，能开采出来的鸡血石产量一年比一年少。因此，鸡血石价格随着产量的锐减而大幅度攀 升。据悉鸡血石是中国独有的珍贵宝石，其形成于7000万年前的火山活动，是不可再生资源。

When gold and silver prices plummeted, art market rise to an "Bloodstone" hot collection, Bloodstone prices soaring. Reporter recently visited the market found Chongqing antiques, fine soapstone prices doubled, but soapstone treasures less risk and bet big stone.

"Yesterday I had a visitor come here to buy a piece of soapstone, 48 million yuan turnover."

It is reported that soapstone due texture, color distribution divided into warm, hard and ground steel.

Lim Sung Chung said, Chongqing locals rarely willing to buy at high prices Bloodstone , bought mostly for home accessories. Usually there's Shanghai, Beijing, Fujian buyers more.

"Prices doubled soapstone, mainly Changhua, Bahrain so fine, and most Bloodstone price, just to maintain moderate growth." Some collectors say different quality soapstone, future price fluctuation is also completely different. Bloodstone quality according to the number of red blood content distinction, such as greater than 30% for the high-end products, more than 50% for the quality, more than 70% compared with treasures.

The anonymity of stone seller told reporters, with the finest soapstone prices higher and higher, posing finest soapstone defective more and more on the market, Bloodstone is also increasing investment risk. The past 10 years, as the market for Bloodstone recognized and sought after, soapstone mining efforts more and more, can be mined each year and soapstone production. Thus, Bloodstone prices as production plummeted and climbed considerably liter.

转型“开矿工”，从此与鸡血石结缘 Story of bloodstone digger

鸡血石是中国特有的宝玉石，它产于昌化浙西大峡谷源头海拔1000米以上的玉岩深山中，是中国特有的名贵石种，具有艳丽鲜红如鸡血般的色彩和亮晶如 美玉般的光泽，被誉为“国宝”而驰名中外，是中国四大名石之一。据文字记载，鸡血石的开采利用，已有近千年的历史，明清时代颇为兴旺。在清代康熙、乾隆、 咸丰、同治、宣统皇帝均以鸡血石为玺。

有了卖菜赚到的“第一桶金”，每天老梅也在上溪街头看到了数以千计的人前来淘金，看到了玉山村的人家家户户尝足了挖石头的甜头，这时候的他有了更大的“野心”。他把卖菜几年积蓄起来的存款立马买了开矿用的机器和炸药加入了挖石头的人群。

但是挖到鸡血石不是他开始想的那么简单，那么容易，是件很辛苦的事情。先要用冲击钻打洞，然后放一定的炸药量爆破。几百米深的洞里漆黑一片，只能靠 头上的应急灯来照明，在里面作业时，必须猫着腰。几个月下来风餐露宿不说，老梅还是没有挖到一丁点鸡血石，再加上他年迈的的父母亲时刻在牵挂着儿子的安 全，他最后还是放弃了开矿赚大钱的欲望回到了家，但是他自此却与鸡血石结上了缘，并一发不可收拾。

Bloodstone gem is unique to China, it is produced in Changhua Grand Canyon West Zhejiang Sources altitude of 1000 meters above the jade rock mountains, is a precious stone species unique to China, with bright red as blood-like color and bright as crystal jade like luster, known as the "national treasure" and famous, it is one of China's four famous stone. According to written records, exploitation Bloodstone, nearly one thousand years of history, the Ming and Qing Dynasties quite prosperous. In the Qing Dynasty Emperor Kangxi and Qianlong, Xianfeng, Tongzhi, Emperor Xuantong are soapstone as Xi.

With vegetables make "pot of gold", also on the river every day Laomei street saw thousands of people come to the Gold Rush, saw the people of the village every household Yushan taste enough to dig stone sweetness, this time he had more "ambition." He took a few years savings deposits vegetables bought up immediately with a mining machinery and dynamite to dig stone joined the crowd.
But he began to dig Bloodstone not think so simple, so easy, is a very hard thing. First to use the impact drill holes, and then put a certain amount of dynamite blasting. A few hundred meters deep dark cave, can only rely on the head of the emergency lights to light, in which the job must Maozhao Yao. After several months camped did not say, did not dig a little bit Laomei heliotrope, coupled with his elderly parents at the time worried about his son's safety, he finally gave up mining desire to make big money back home, but since he was on the edge of the junction with soapstone, and out of control.

产量减少价格三年疯涨10倍 Bloodstone price high rise due to high demand

走访了北京报国寺文化市场、潘家园旧货市场以及爱家国际收藏中心，发现一方鸡血石印章，根据品质不同价格从几百元到上百万元不等，而经营鸡血石的商家普遍表示近年来鸡血石价格扶摇直上。

曾经为央视《鉴宝》栏目的特邀专家、爱家国际收藏中心宝玉石收藏专家夏增昆分析认为，鸡血石从古至今被人们喜欢的原因有几个：首先，鸡血石的颜色红 艳如鸡血，民间一直就有用鸡血驱鬼避邪的说法；其次，鸡血石红艳似火，有象征红红火火之意；但最主要的原因是鸡血石产量现在越来越少，精品更是十分难得。 由于鸡血石矿中含有汞，国家曾经大规模采矿炼汞，现在剩余的鸡血石量就很少。因此价格自然急剧上升，3年来足足涨了10倍。
鸡血石价格的攀升在拍卖市场上也体现得十分明显，2003年5月北京翰海拍卖会上一件清代鸡血石方章成交价仅为8000元，2005年12月品质相 当的一件清代鸡血石方章价格迅速涨到120000元，2007年12月，北京翰海秋季拍卖会举办了“日精月华——国石艺术”专场拍卖，一块由国家级雕刻大 师牛克思所雕的“昌化鸡血石雕楼阁山子”更是以1344万元人民币成交，创下了当时中国当代工艺品的最高价格纪录。夏增昆认为，正是由于其资源的极缺性， 有眼力和能力的收藏投资者收藏鸡血石定会有不错的回报。

Visited Beijing cultural market at Temple, Panjiayuan Flea Market and love international collection centers, found that one of soapstone seal, depending on the quality and price from a few hundred dollars to hundreds of thousands dollars, while operating Bloodstone businesses generally expressed in recent years soapstone prices soared.
CCTV invited experts worked for "Kam-Po" section, and love international collections center gem collection of experts Xiazeng Kun analysis, heliotrope since ancient times been like for several reasons: First, heliotrope color Hongyan, such as chicken, Folk have been saying with chicken exorcism evil; secondly, heliotrope Hongyan fire, booming symbolic meaning; but the main reason is soapstone now yield less and less quality is very rare. Since soapstone ore containing mercury, mercury refining countries have large-scale mining, and now the remaining amount of soapstone rarely. So prices naturally rose sharply, a full three years up to 10 times.
Bloodstone rising prices in the auction market is also reflected very clearly, in May 2003 Beijing Hanhai auction, a Qing Dynasty Soapstone party chapter sold only 8,000 yuan, in December 2005 quality quite a Qing Dynasty Soapstone Fang Zhang price quickly rose to 120,000 yuan, in December 2007, Beijing Hanhai autumn auction held "Nissei Yuet Wah - national stone Art" special auction, a sculptor carved by the national cattle are carved Marx "Bloodstone pavilion mountain child "more is 13.44 million yuan turnover, setting a record at that time the highest price of Chinese contemporary arts and crafts. Xiazeng Kun believes that it is precisely because of the scarcity, discerning its resources and capabilities to Favorites investor favorites soapstone there will be a good return.

鸡血石：历史上的一抹鲜红 Bloodstone in China history

鸡血石是辰砂条带的地开石，因为它的颜色像鸡血一样鲜红，所以人们俗称为鸡血石。 我国最早在浙江昌化玉岩山发现鸡血石。

美丽的传说
传说，天庭中一对美丽的凤凰听到人间的哀怨之声，此刻凡间蝗虫成灾、作物不长、百姓愁苦。善良的凤凰决定到人间去消灭蝗害、驱散瘟疫、拯救生灵。在 凤凰的帮助下百姓又过上了幸福的日子，而凤凰也留在当地恩泽一方百姓。可惜山中来了一对强横的鸟狮，它们对凤凰产生了忌妒之心。一天，它们趁雌凰进入孵育 期、雄凤外出觅食之际偷袭凤巢，雌凰被鸟狮啄断了一条腿，鲜红凤血流入当地的岩石中，最后凤凰击败了鸟狮，但凤凰蛋却已经被践踏得支离破碎，凤凰也悲鸣着 腾空而去。凤凰虽然走了，但是凤血浸染的岩石却变成了一块块的鸡血石，继续保佑着当地的老百姓。
鸡血石的品种
昌化鸡血石分为冻地、软地、刚地和硬地四大类。
■冻地鸡血石：主要成分是辰砂与地开石、高岭石组成的天然集合体，包括玻璃冻、羊脂冻、牛角冻、桃花冻等，微透明或半透明，通常硬度在2级左右。
■软地鸡血石：主要成分是辰砂与地开石、高岭石，有一定蜡状光泽，不透明或部分微透明，硬度在2-3级之间的鸡血石。
■刚地鸡血石：是高岭石、明矾石岩经后期硅化的产物，硬度在3-4级之间。
■硬地鸡血石：是成矿过程中硅化作用的产物，地质学名为辰砂硅化凝灰岩或含辰砂硅质岩，主要成份是SiO2(二氧化硅)，其硬度大于3级。
昌化鸡血石的品质是血和地，血色为鲜红、深红、正红、紫红等，鸡血的形状有块红、条红、星红、霞红等，并能达到鲜、凝、厚为佳，深沉有厚度，深透石中，有集结或鸡血斑布均衡为佳。除此之外，昌化鸡血石石质中，还具有“细、结、润、腻、温、凝”之六德。
鉴别真假鸡血石
鉴别一块鸡血石可用鸡血、质地、重量三种方式。首先要看鸡血，一般假鸡血是没有银斑的，而且色度深浅不匀，线条有粗有细，花纹呆板不自然。其次要看 质地，假鸡血石是用塑胶化合物制造的，用手摸起来没有石感，刀刻后不会有石屑，用火烧假鸡血石会有烧焦的胶臭味，真鸡血石则不会。有人甚至将鸡血石切片粘 贴于粗石上，再用填缝胶及石粉粘合，状极似真鸡血石，仔细在强光下则可辨别真伪，或观察血色及画形是否一致或有无连贯，不难识破。再则，有人用石粉加化合 物，塑模涂上“朱砂”或大红水彩假造鸡血而成。最后要称重量，真鸡血石的重量较沉稳，假鸡血石的重量较轻浮。
鸡血石与名人
民间传说鸡血石会带来鸿运当头，百姓藏之可兴家避邪，帝王藏之可镇国安邦。自古昌化鸡血石一直都是文人雅士、达官贵人、帝王将相的珍藏品。在清朝， 乾隆皇帝有一方刻着“乾隆至宝”的鸡血石印章，慈禧太后以及其他皇妃们也喜欢把鸡血石作为宝玺。在当代，毛泽东主席珍藏两方大号昌化鸡血石印章；周恩来总 理将昌化鸡血石方章以国礼馈赠给日本前首相田中角荣；美国总统访华时，中国选用了刻有“罗纳德里根”的昌化鸡血石印章馈赠给他。现如今，鸡血石经常以国家 级礼品交流文化，传播友谊，成为中华民族灿烂文化的重要部分，为世界的物质和精神财富添上一抹鲜红的色泽。
