If the thirty-carat rough stone weighs more than twenty-six carats after being cut, it will definitely be the largest color-changing cobalt spinel in the world.
This is still a top-grade blue demon. With this head, the price is very high.
What's more, this little blue demon has a pure color, rich hair color, without any gray tones, and it even has starlight?
Is this discoloration? Untreated cobalt spinel that changes color?
If a blue cobalt spinel without gray tint is compared with a toned variety of the same level, the value may be about 10-100 times different!
Cobalt spinel with rich color is very precious, generally small and very rare, so the price is extraordinarily high.
Cobalt spinel, which has some special optical effects, is even more precious.
In December 2015, the largest carat color-changing cobalt spinel in history was auctioned.
It was a 25.79 carat, natural Sri Lankan untreated color-changing cobalt spinel and diamond ring.
At that time, the auction price was HK$1.77 million/US$230,000, setting a world auction record for color-changing spinel.
If you buy this rough stone for one million, you will make a lot of money, so Chen Wenzhe didn't be too shameless and directly bid one million.
At this point, the entire transaction is over.
Li Weizhao was very satisfied with the transaction amount, but Chen Wenzhe was very dissatisfied.
I originally thought that I would see a large number of top-grade rubies and sapphires, but I didn’t expect that there would only be this few.
Although Jedi Knight is good, there are not many of them, and there are even fewer truly high-quality gems.
Cobalt blue spinels are better, but they are too small and of good quality.
If he hadn't been thinking about a second transaction, Chen Wenzhe wouldn't have been able to pay a high price this time.
I chatted a little with the pretty boy and accepted his invitation to visit them.
After receiving the exact answer, Li Weizhao left a little reluctantly.
Finally, everyone was sent away, and all the goods brought this time were also emptied.
However, Chen Wenzhe did not leave, but landed at a port not far away and stayed at a high-end hotel.
As for the fishing boats, they will naturally return home.
As long as Chen Wenzhe does not leave, the fishing boat will not arouse suspicion.
After staying here for so long, no one would have thought that the ship would be filled with treasures and cultural relics.
Holding a diary, sit on the balcony, take a sip of coffee, and take a look at the messy Japanese in the diary.
As for Japanese, as long as you have graduated from elementary school, you can roughly understand what it means, but it is not possible to read it out.
Therefore, Chen Wenzhe just took a quick look and discovered that these were the notes of a group of treasure hunters chasing a fleet.
The most original notes must have been recorded by someone from the little devil’s side.
Later, the South Vietnamese discovered clues, and their notes were in Chinese, which seemed even simpler.
"An entire fleet sank around the coast of South Vietnam? That big leader really thinks highly of me!"
After understanding the contents of these notes, Chen Wenzhe laughed.
If this fleet really sank, it would probably not be silent on the high seas, but silent at the doorstep of South Vietnam, or even in the inland rivers.
That's why the big leader gave them such a batch of notes.
Because they couldn't intervene, it made it easier and more convenient for Chen Wenzhe to handle it.
"It's a pity that the people in South Vietnam are not fools either!"
After just searching for information, Chen Wenzhe knew that there were still people tracking the whereabouts of the eighty-four treasure ships.
Combining the diary, Chen Wenzhe knew that there were people on the Japs side, as well as South Vietnam, who were paying attention.
For example, not long ago, there were reports that there was an old man in South Vietnam who was digging into the mountains in search of gold left by the Japanese army during World War II.
Unfortunately, he searched for half a century but found nothing.
This man once wanted to show reporters some items left by the Japanese army that had been discovered earlier.
That is a centenarian who has been believing for half a century that before the Japanese army was defeated at the end of World War II, they buried a large amount of gold and jewelry under Zhoushan in southern South Vietnam.
But half a century later, the old man's dream of treasure hunting failed, but he still had to pay the cost of building the mountain due to excessive carving all year round.
The old treasure hunter has published a lot of information about the treasure, such as a map he obtained in 1957 that confirmed the existence of the treasure.
Since then, he has embarked on a half-century journey of digging into mountains in search of treasure.
He pointed out that at the end of World War II, Japanese generals sent 84 ships filled with gold to Canah Bay to hide them.
However, this fleet was attacked by Allied forces, and 66 ships were hit.
The remaining ships buried 4,000 tons of gold at the foot of Zhoushan near the bay.
In 1992, he did find an old Japanese sword, some 10,000 yen worth, two pieces of metal black dragons, and several other supplies in the Zhoushan area.
These items made him even more convinced that the gold treasure house existed.
The following year, his application for "cutting mountains to hunt for treasure" was approved by the local government.
He immediately found a geologist and formed a treasure hunting team with a "psychic" person.
One day, the treasure hunting team discovered a 6-meter-wide cave in Zhoushan and mistakenly thought it was a place leading to the treasure.
After ten years of digging holes in the mountains, no gold was found.
In this way, after spending half a century, he still did not dig out a piece of gold.
Not long ago, the local government rejected the old man's application to dig into the mountain for treasure hunting on the grounds that the treasure hunting plan did not have updated treasure hunting clues and damaged the environment.
In addition, the government requires the elderly to restore Zhoushan to its original appearance.
It is reported that last year alone, the treasure hunting team used up 2,000 kilograms of explosives and conducted 372 blasts in Zhoushan.
Putting down the Japanese notes in his hand, Chen Wenzhe rubbed his head.
The latest news about this fleet comes from South Vietnamese officials.
Through the retrieval in his notebook, Chen Wenzhe knew that this fleet really existed.
And he also knows the locations of some of the sunken ships, but those sunken ships are loaded with various materials, at most some strategic materials such as iron ore and rubber.
The most important thing must be the dozen or so ships that did not sink at that time, and they should have contained a lot of gold, gems, and cultural relics.
At least there is blue and white porcelain, because back then the little devil once salvaged many sunken ships in the offshore waters of South Vietnam.
The battle was fought outside the port, and some of their warships were sunk.
After the war, it was natural to clean up the passage outside the port.
During this process, the sunken ship needs to be blasted, and if it is valuable, the water will be salvaged and rebuilt.
It was during this process that the little devil discovered a large number of ancient shipwrecks under a sea area.
"You stupid little devil is really lucky."
Chen Wenzhe lamented that in the past one or two hundred years, the little devils have simply cheated!
