The price of agate has risen year after year

Some time ago, the price of gold fell continuously, triggering the "China Aunt" gold purchase boom. In the jewellery and jade market, the price of agate has been rising year after year. It has also been favored by many investors. Yesterday, the reporter visited a number of jewelry jade market in Xi'an, and learned that at present, some good-quality agates are sold on the basis of grams, and the price is several times higher than gold.

A master of many years of antique business, Li introduced the agate is a kind of chalcedony minerals, a wide variety, according to the pattern and the type of impurities can be divided into onyx, silk agate, agate agate, castle agate and so on. Agate produced in different places has different names, such as Nanjing Yuhuashi is a kind of agate. In recent years, the agate market has been hot, and the most expensive one is a few days. At the same time, not only Dzi Beads, but also other agate varieties, such as South Red and Wrapped Wire, continue to rise in price. “In 2011, we received a total of about 40,000 Dzi Beads. If we are fine, we can basically sell them to 400,000. The prices have doubled by 10 times in two years.” Master Li said that the ordinary quality of the two-dimensional dZi is currently on the market. At least a minimum of one million yuan, the past two years with the continuous expansion of the collection of people, prices are also accelerating, the real good quality can be described as a bead difficult.

The reporter saw on Taobao the so-called “Dzi Beads” variety in the sale, the pattern colors were also different, the price ranged from tens to tens of thousands, and there were a few people who purchased, but most of them were modern. Crafts do not have the value of investing in collections, and they are in stark contrast to the real ancient craft dZi.

According to industry sources, the purchase price of these new imitation Dzi beads range from a few yuan to a few hundred yuan, such as 200 yuan to 800 yuan in Taiwan; 100 yuan to 300 yuan in Bhutan; and Jiangsu and Zhejiang imitation and Central Plains imitation. It ranges from 5 yuan to 10 yuan.

Industry insiders frankly stated that there are differences between investments in gold, such as Tianzhu, Huanglongyu, etc. If you are collecting investment, you must understand professional knowledge. Like the ordinary street market or the antique market, there is a mixed bag of dragons and fish, and purchases need to be careful.
