由北京董氏博石珠宝有限公司、广东省收藏家协会玉器珠宝专业委员会、中山古陶瓷研究会联合主办的广东省中山市首届翡翠原石(赌石)交易会将于4月28日至5月6日在中山古玩城一楼展厅举行。据悉，此次交易会将有8吨缅甸翡翠原石运至中山，价值从千元至数百万元不等。
赌石，就是翡翠原石在开采出来时，被一层风化皮包裹着，任何仪器都无法探测到其内在的好坏，须“解石”后方能知道其价值。因此，人们只有根据皮壳的特征和在局部所开的“门子”凭自己的经验来推断翡翠原石内部品质的好坏。(许悦)
新疆和田玉白玉籽料 龙凤呈祥 乱世黄金盛世玉.当下,老百姓手中可供支配的资产越来越多,玉器收藏、投资已成为一个正在崛起的巨大市场.
目前在北京、上海、武汉、广州的各大收藏品市场中,玉器商户都是随处可见；在全国工艺美术大师作品展、北京国际艺术博览会、北京古玩博览会等一系列文化博览会上,各式各样的玉器作品都占据了相当大的比例,玉的需求之大可见一斑.
然而,熟悉和田玉收藏的业内人士都很清楚的知道,和田玉古玉的收藏鉴定与和田玉新玉的收藏鉴定完全是两种不同的收藏概念和鉴定方式.对于一般的和田玉收藏爱好者来说,究竟选择其中的哪种投资更合适和物有所值呢？
这里我们先来说下古玉和新玉究竟指的是什么.古玉的定义颇有争议,就像古玉本身一样,有些人认为真,有些人却认为假,从年代上分,一些人认为清代的玉器不能算是古玉,清代往前的才是,但权威人士认为,即使清代玉石甚至是民国时期的玉也标志着当时的一些雕刻特点,有着它自身的历史价值,所以也应该算是古玉.新玉,我们就不必多说,这里就是指用近期开采出来的和田玉籽料或山料,用现代的加工理念和加工手法雕刻出的玉石.当然,如果要作为收藏品的话,我们应该把这个定义放得更窄一些,指那些料质、工艺及颜色都比较一流的玉石成品.
古玉“看不懂” 收藏难度高
如今古玉市场假货充斥,古玉的鉴定标准也不确定,没有权威的鉴定部门为之把关并出具权威的证明,收藏难度非常之高.在古玉的鉴定研究行业中,可以说是仁者见仁智者见智,观点不能统一,除了一些大开门的东西,不同年代的古玉,在不同的几位行家眼中会有着不同的鉴定结论.它究竟是真是假,对于一般的收藏者而言就更是满头雾水；古玉的产品一般玉质都不是很好,各种产地及各种档次的玉料都兼而有之,除去那些官用或用来进贡的玉石件以外,大部分的民间老工的东西也没有现代的雕刻工艺成熟细腻.所以,对于普通玩家来说,花大价钱买一个料质不是很好,有着许多不确定因素老玉件就肯定不如买一件雕工料质都很好的新玉件来得更值得.
新玉人见人爱 收藏上等新玉踏实又省心
对某些新贵阶层来说,玩玉就是玩心情,与其花大钱买一件“说不清”的古玉,倒不如买件光鲜“开门”、人见人爱的新玉,这样显摆起来自己也有面子.
尽管玉器收藏热一浪高过一浪,但为投资、理财而买玉者不占少数,真正识玉、懂玉的藏家又有多少呢？“这年头投资股票老是亏,买黄金也未必有保障,不如买几块和田玉放着实在.”相对古玉而言,料好工精的和田玉籽料和上等翡翠饰品较古玉好辨别,加之上品越发见少,近年来价格又一路飙升,是真正的财富象征.因此,从投资的角度讲,掏腰包买块上等新玉比收藏古玉省心又踏实——这或许是所谓当下古玉市场价格干不过新玉的最直接原因.
其实,翻翻中国十余年来的拍卖纪录,真正古玉的价格并不便宜.早在1996年北京瀚海秋拍时,红山文化的那件岫玉质“太阳神”就拍出了242万元的高价；2011年北京保利秋拍古董珍玩夜场,乾隆“太上皇帝”圆玺以6800万元起拍,并以1.61亿的天价成交.
玩玉的人大都知道,时下的古玉造假势头之猛、规模之大,远胜宋代乃至明清,可谓史无前例,致使古玉市场中假古玉比比皆是且便宜,真古玉则一块难觅.在这种情况下,新玉成为投资新宠就见怪不怪了,尤其是以御府、雅园等为代表的海派精工和田玉籽料玉器,玉质要比一般古玉高出一截,工艺也比古玉更加精湛,自然让玉石藏家趋之如骛,价格也水涨船高,将普品古玉甩在了后头.
