How big is a sapphire that is one hundred centimeters long? It is a large gemstone that is one meter long and half a meter high. Not to mention, its thickness is still 72 centimeters!
It is said that the lucky Mr. Gamage, after discovering such a large sapphire, immediately secretly reported the workers’ amazing discovery to the National Gems and Jewelry Administration of Ska.
"Shura Martial God"
This is definitely a smart move, because what two people know is never a secret.
Therefore, he successfully kept such a huge treasure in the end.
I just don’t know why this guy who used to be lucky but may be unlucky now lost this precious gem and ended up falling into the hands of Gao Qijing.
Of course, Chen Wenzhe doesn't care about these. If the water is clear, there will be no fish. There are some things that there is no need to know.
As for some information about gems, he needed to ask clearly.
So now he knows that this gem may have been formed 400 million years ago.
It took several months to announce the discovery, according to Ska Nation.
This process involves removing mud and other impurities from the gemstone so that gem experts can analyze and certify its quality.
During the cleaning process, some stones fell out of the cluster, which were later discovered to be high-quality star sapphires.
The gem is said to be worth at least 72 million pounds (about 100 million U.S. dollars).
The National Gem and Jewelery Authority of Skarna confirmed, "The gemstone was found at Kahawatte in Ratnapura district. For security reasons, they cannot disclose further details of the specific location."
However, leaked news confirmed that this is a special star sapphire specimen, possibly the largest in the world.
In view of its size and value, it has attracted the interest of many private collectors and museums, and representatives of royal families from various countries have also joined the bidding for this huge gem.
At that time, people from the Gemstone Management Bureau of the State of Ska confirmed that the gem belonged to the landowner Mr. Gamage because it was found on his private property.
However, for safety reasons, the gem was moved to a safe in the Bank of Ceylon, guarded by armed men and heavily guarded.
It is worth mentioning that the engagement ring of Princess Kate of the British royal family is a star sapphire ring.
However, this sapphire ring worth 300,000 pounds (approximately US$420,000) was a relic left by the late Princess Diana to the two brothers, Prince William and Prince Harry.
Prince William used it to propose to Kate in 2010.
From this, we can see the value of this largest sapphire in Ska.
"This is really the unexpected sapphire!"
Seeing this huge sapphire with his own eyes, Chen Wenzhe couldn't help but be amazed.
Although this is a rough stone, it is still very beautiful.
"It's the sapphire called accident. This one is called accident, and the other one is not accident!"
After finishing speaking, Gao Qijing proudly pointed to another box and said, "There is another small one here, only 310 kilograms!"
This time Chen Wenzhe was completely speechless. Anyone who pays attention to gems should know how many huge sapphires appear in the world, right?
The country of Ska is a country of sapphires. It is not surprising at all to find several giant sapphires there.
However, giant sapphires weighing hundreds of kilograms are not always available.
Therefore, as long as one piece appears, it will definitely cause an international sensation.
Previously, Chen Wenzhe had paid special attention to sapphires, especially star sapphires, and there was no place with more star sapphires than the country of Scar.
Therefore, he also knew about this giant sapphire weighing 310 kilograms.
Unlike the previous one, this sapphire was found in a gem pit.
A local gemologist who examined the sapphire said it weighed 683 pounds (approximately 310 kilograms) and was one of the rarest gems in the world.
However, international organizations have not yet certified this gem.
This gem was also found in the gem-rich Ranapura region.
It is reported that the authorities spent more than a year cleaning the mud and other impurities from the stone before it could be analyzed and certified.
During the cleaning process, some high-quality star sapphires were also discovered.
Experts say the estimated value of this bluish gemstone in the international market exceeds US$100 million.
You know, this one is 200 kilograms less than the largest one.
From this it can be explained that the quality of this small dot is definitely higher.
"You went to Ranapura?"
After seeing this sapphire, Chen Wenzhe asked with emotion.
I have to say that in many small countries, although the local people are not very good, they are really blessed with rich resources.
"Go, haven't you been using gems recently? We happen to be in the country of Scar, why don't we get some more sapphires?" Gao Qijing said with a smile.
Chen Wenzhe didn’t know what to say. This was too much. It was great!
In fact, it’s normal to think about it. After all, Ranapura is the gemstone capital of South Asia.
At the same time, it is also a major exporter of sapphires and other precious gemstones.
The local gems and jewelry industry body reported that the country earned about $500 million last year from exporting gems, diamonds and other jewelry.
Compared with other trade, US$500 million is not much, and can even be said to be pitifully small.
However, if you can still produce these gemstones worth 500 million US dollars every year, that’s amazing.
"This one should be called the Queen of Asia, right? It's a pity that it's not the largest sapphire in the world!"
"It's certainly not the largest, but it deserves the title of the largest natural corundum sapphire."
Although Chen Wenzhe felt a little pity, this kind of reputation was of no use.
His eyes fell on another sapphire again. This one is the largest in the world, right?
"It should be the largest in the world. This unexpected sapphire is worthy of being number one in the world."
"Boss, I remember that Manager Li sent me a message to show off that he helped you buy the largest sapphire in the country, right? It was only because of Manager Li's reminder that we spent a lot of resources to help you get these two sapphires.
gem."
Hearing this, Chen Wenzhe was stunned. Is there such a thing?
After thinking about it carefully, with his memory, he quickly remembered it.
"Wait a minute, I really want to see a gemstone, but it seems to be a man-made sapphire, right?"
As he spoke, Chen Wenzhe took out his mobile phone and looked for the text messages inside.
Soon, he discovered something. It was a message sent to him by Li Jinli several months ago.
He accidentally bought a gemstone, which was very big and seemed to be the best in the world. However, this gemstone was the best in the world and the water content was too high. Chen Wenzhe took a quick look at it and completely forgot about it.
At that time, Chen Wenzhe was making porcelain, and besides, he was not interested in fake gems, so he took a quick glance at it and forgot about it in the blink of an eye.
