The 3 most natural crystals worth collecting

There are many kinds of crystals, and there are basically three types of collectibles:

The first is the older antique crystal collection. Antique crystals are generally difficult to find, as the stoneware of the Stone Age are basically rare treasures, but it is difficult to distinguish them (they can only be distinguished by the difference in the production process) and is expensive, so the collection risk is relatively large. Throughout the past 10 years, the top 10 crystal auction items in the auction market can be found. Most of the high value crystal products for the late Qing Dynasty, only three products for the Qianlong period, one for modern crafts. The prices of the first five auction items were all over 1 million yuan.

Followed by the original crystal stone. Crystal stone has a certain collection value, and the collection is relatively simple, generally as long as the shape, color, pattern, inclusion, purity and even the size of a point has some features or advantages can be collected. Therefore, there are many crystal collectors are also enthusiastic about this. Of course, in the above-mentioned areas, which have an advantage, the value of their collection is naturally higher.

The third is crystal crafts. When it comes to modern handicrafts, which naturally do not dominate in the ages, they can only seek their value from crystal varieties, textures, flaws, and craftsmanship. In general, the texture of fine crystal products will not be too bad. In turn, the fine crystal texture should be good.

The crystal collection has been cooled for more than ten years ago, crystal products are only low-grade gems, are very popular decorations. However, after entering the 21st century, crystal has received more and more attention. By 2004, the price of crystals had nearly doubled from the price in 2000. In recent years, the appreciation of crystal products has been faster. Taking the red crystal with good workmanship as an example, the price in 2005 was 10 yuan per gram, and it had risen to 70 yuan per gram last year.

In the crystal family, titanium crystals and hair crystals rose the fastest. For example, at the Christie's China Arts & Crafts Auction held on March 22, 2007, a piece of “Ding Erzhong as a crystal material to draw eight broken pictures ** pots” to 445,000 yuan. High price deals. As the financial crisis triggered by the US subprime mortgage crisis in late 2007 has swept the world, the crystal trading market has also been deserted since last year, but from an investment perspective, the future appreciation of natural crystal is still not small.
