The jade mountain valued at 30 million is comparable to a mountain of gold!

People often use mountains of gold and seas of silver to describe having a lot of money, but many people probably have never seen what a mountain of gold looks like. However, the jade mountain that the editor is going to share with you today can be said to be better than a mountain of gold! Why do I say so?

This jadeite mountain appeared on a treasure appraisal program. According to the owner, this piece was collected by her father more than ten years ago. It is engraved with the scene of the famous poet Li Bai living in seclusion in Qingcheng Mountain . The owner's father admired Li Bai very much, so after obtaining this jadeite mountain, he cherished it very much and regarded it as a family heirloom. He even said that "once I have it, I will want nothing else."

Although this piece of jadeite is only of the glutinous variety in terms of material, the jade is very delicate, and the color is very rich emerald green. The bottom is as white as snow, and it is full of fresh and elegant natural aura.

Of course, the most exciting part is the craftsmanship. The entire Jade Mountain is cleverly designed and built according to the shape of the mountain. The carvings are lifelike, with mountains, water, city gates, people carrying loads, and people pushing carts...

Above is a lush and verdant forest in the deep mountains. The black moss part cleverly turns into a place in the valley where the sun cannot reach, hiding the green-roofed black tiles, as if it is secluded from the world, making people feel as if they are there.

Below is a pool of autumn water with a purple hue. Among the pedestrians, Li Bai stands elegantly, as if he were a banished immortal, with a puppy running happily in front. The picture is extremely vivid and harmonious, and the carving is so exquisite that even if it is magnified many times, it still does not feel rough at all. It seems that the beautiful woman's father's collection level is also extraordinary, as he was able to acquire such an exquisite jade mountain.

It can be said that the entire jade mountain, whether in terms of materials, selection of materials, layout, artistic conception, or craftsmanship, has reached the level of being handed down from generation to generation. The final estimate of its value by experts was 25 to 30 million, which is almost comparable to a gold mountain of the same size!

Jade mountains are ornaments placed on desks or indoors for viewing . Compared with decorative pendants, they are larger in size and are generally carved from a whole piece of jade. The higher the quality of such jade, the harder it is to find.

At the same time, jade mountains are a great test of the level of craftsmanship. On the basis of retaining the natural and simple appearance of jade, they are carved with figures, landscapes, flowers, birds, insects, fish, rare birds and animals, pavilions and towers. The layout is orderly and layered, with large ones being grand and small ones being exquisite. It requires magnificent momentum and profound and lofty artistic conception, and very high requirements for creativity and carving.

Jadeite mountains that are exquisitely carved and magnificent are extremely rare, and whenever they appear, they are bound to be worth a fortune. And if creativity, carving and good materials are combined into one, it will definitely be a masterpiece that can be handed down from generation to generation.
