Gem Coral Amazing Market

The long growth cycle, harsh mining conditions, and the scarce number of worldly deposits, gems and corals are called "red gold." Since the beginning of this year, affected by the earthquake in Japan, the value of gemstone corals has soared. The average price of gem corals per gram has risen to 300 to 400 yuan, while the price of one gram of top grade products has reached tens of thousands of yuan, much higher than gold.

The Japanese earthquake heightened the price. Gem coral refers to red, pink, or orange-red coral. It grows in the depths of 200 meters to 2,000 meters in the sea. Its growth process is similar to that of gestation of pearls. It has been long, and corals have passed through for decades or even centuries. Accumulation can only grow into this "living gems." Due to the limited production volume, the collectibles market has frequently been stirred in recent years. After the earthquake in Japan this year, its worth is snowball-like.

“The gemstone corals on the market are prolific in Taiwan and neighboring Japan. After the earthquake in Japan this year, many people with investment and collection intentions worried about the growth of corals, or caused the circulation to be uneasy, and the psychological price is increasing. The price of gems and corals has been pushed up," said Mao Chen, head of Yiwu Xintiandi Antiques City.

According to him, gemstone corals have more than doubled in value since the end of last year. For example, the top gems and corals, the price from 6,000 to 8,000 yuan per gram, rose to 16,000 yuan, or even more than 20,000 yuan; mid-range from 2000 to 3,000 yuan last year, rose to the current 6000 to 8,000 yuan, even the general The prices of grades have been moving towards gold.

Fear in the morning of its appreciation, Mao Morning told reporters that the value of gemstone coral mainly comes from its non-renewable nature. Like diamonds, it is less developed. However, it is more attractive than diamonds. It is just like other jades. It has the beautiful symbols of exorcism, forgiveness and fortune. In the past, some gems and coral collection lovers in Yiwu went to “first-line cities” such as Hangzhou and Shanghai to “Taobao.” A good decoration often costs hundreds of thousands or even millions of dollars. It was because of his fancy that he introduced this deep-sea spirit from Taiwan. On the first day of the store opening, there was a young lady who came to the shop and spent more than 6000 yuan to buy a bunch of coral bracelets. She said that it was for her friend to make a birthday present. On these two days, two other ornaments were bought, and “the treasure of the town shop,” a wishful bottle of lotus like the Guanyin, some people came to ask, but he was not willing to sell.

"Recently, the source of supply is very tight, and it is very difficult to find similar products. It is difficult for us to find something similar to this product. When we do this line, we also look at its value-added appreciation space." Mao Chen predicted that in the next few years, with the The prosperity of the collectibles market, the attention of gemstones and corals will greatly increase, and the public’s investment enthusiasm will also increase.

How to distinguish between genuine and fake gemstone corals is also like diamonds, mainly to see the color, followed by the size. The fineness of gemstone coral depends on its density. If the density is low, it will be very loose and the density will be high to have a jade texture. There is a simple way to judge, is to soak in the water, wait for a while, to see the state of the surface of the bubble, if the bubbles are very fine, very tiny, then the gem coral is a relatively high density, on the contrary if the bubble is relatively large, relatively loose This proves that corals have a low density of loose structures. The color is redder and more transparent, the better the quality. In addition, naturally occurring white spots or pits are not perfect.

“The true gem coral encounters blistering, counterfeit goods can be detected with alcohol, xylene or **. The gem corals that circulate through the formal channels should also have the authority certificate of the national character.” Mao Chen added.
