As soon as Huang Shan was talking, he saw a stone shining with colorful light appearing in front of his eyes. He picked it up and saw that it must be a gem!
When Huangshan shouted, Han Kongque and the others were all attracted to him.
Han Peacock was the fastest. He first took over a pebble from Huangshan's hand.
When Han Kongque saw it, it was transparent and made of glass, and he was immediately happy. However, when he took a closer look, he was disappointed: "This is a piece of crystal."
"Ah?" Huang Shan's face was full of disappointment.
Wei Changqing took the stone, looked at it carefully, and said while looking at him: "Have you never heard of crystals in the Gobi? Especially here."
Qian Mingyuan said: "There are Gobi crystals, and there are desert crystals. What needs to be distinguished from gem light here is Gobi topaz and Gobi crystal. When gem light is loved by everyone, some topaz on the Gobi And colorless crystals, because of their beautiful and transparent qualities, they were mistaken for gemstones and became popular.
But the fact is that not all beautiful things are collectible. Crystals have been beautiful and fascinating since ancient times, but their high production has always ranked them among semi-precious stones, and Topaz has also been classified as a low-grade gemstone due to its huge production.
The difference between topaz and gemstone can be seen from the appearance. Topaz is transparent, while gemstone is translucent even if it is colorless gemstone. Topaz is also called topaz, and its hardness is 8, while gemstone is called jade. The hardness of pith material is 6.8-7.2, and there are differences in density and other aspects.
The best gemstone has the warmth of jade and the brilliance of gemstones. Compared with other rare stones, it has greater investment value and room for appreciation. Instead of investing in white jade, jade and other jewelry at high prices, it is better to take advantage of the current price If you open a position at the right time when it is generally low, the rate of return will be equally valuable at that time.”
This was when Han Kongque also said: "The gemstones are much more beautiful than this one. I will try to find a few today so that you can all see them."
The gemstone is crystal clear, lovely and enchanting, and the beauty is so enchanting and warm that it attracts people’s attention without any need for carving. Even people who don’t understand stones at all see it and immediately fall in love with it. They admire it endlessly.
So when they saw Han Kongque's severe fanaticism, neither Qian Mingyuan nor Gu Tong was exception.
They have seen the gem light, so they know the beauty of the gem light. The gem light is born in the vast Gobi Desert. People who have never been here. People who have not personally picked up the gem light here will not believe that it is actually born under the scorching sun and strong wind. There is such a beauty! No wonder people seem to be "crazy" to pursue her traces!
People who pursue it may not all pursue the "Gemstone Light" with the dream of getting rich. More people do it out of their sincere love for the "Gemstone Light". Once they find it, they will love it like a pearl, no matter what. It can't be replaced no matter how much money it is.
At this time, Zhaodong also came over. He also held a stone in his hand, which looked very similar to the one found in Huangshan.
"Is this also a Gobi crystal?" Zhaodongke asked. He was very familiar with jade, but he didn't know much about crystals.
"Hey! This is the topaz. It looks like a top quality piece. You're in luck." Qian Mingyuan took the stone with a smile on his face and took it in his hand to examine it carefully.
Their luck is indeed good. They have just come here and they have harvested one after another. Although it is not gem light or Gobi jade, it is good to have harvest. After all, none of these people here are here to get rich.
"Topaz? I just heard you say it. Could it be that topaz is crystal?" Huang Shan asked.
Han Kongque said with a smile: "Topaz is also a crystal. It is a silicate mineral with an island structure, also known as citrine. It has an orthorhombic (rhombic) crystal system. The crystals are usually short columns, and there are often vertical lines on the cylinder surfaces.
It can also be in irregular granular or massive shapes, with various colors, some are colorless and transparent, most are light yellow, wine yellow, light blue, light green, light rose red, brown, etc. The color can gradually fade after long-term exposure to sunlight. Glass
Luster, complete cleavage on the bottom surface, Mohs hardness 8, belongs to topaz.
Topaz is a typical gas-generated hydrothermal mineral. It is formed under conditions of high temperature and volatile components. It is produced in granite pegmatites, geodes of acidic volcanic rocks, greitzite and high-temperature hydrothermal tungsten-tin quartz veins.
In the industry, it is used as abrasive materials and bearings for precision instruments. The transparent and beautiful ones are high-grade gemstone raw materials. Brazil is the origin of high-quality topaz in the world. Russia's Ural and Pakistan's Catalan produce rose-red topaz containing cr3+.
Topaz is also produced in China, Mongolia, Jiangxi, and Xi'an. It is produced in Brazil, Sri Lanka, the United States, and China. Because the output is large, the price is not high, but this kind of jade is also very beautiful."
The piece that can be found in Zhaodong is a light yellow topaz, slightly transparent, and the columnar crystals can be clearly seen. This is a typical yellow topaz.
"The texture is good, keep it well!" Gu Tong finished reading and agreed with Han Peacock's appraisal.
Qian Mingyuan laughed and said: "In recent years, this kind of topaz has also been speculated. I heard that it is very popular among young people nowadays."
"I know this. The symbolic meaning of topaz is wealth and piety. The color is mostly light yellow to dark yellow. This kind of topaz is topaz. Its English name is topaz. There are two theories about the origin of its English name: one is that it comes from the Red Sea.
The old name of a small island is 'Topaz'. Another saying is that it is derived from the Sanskrit word topus, which means 'fire'. This very exotic name seems to have told the mystery of this gemstone.
It's just right to attract today's young people." Wei Changqing said.
"This thing is topaz? We have dug out a lot of it in the East China Sea. Didn't we hear that this thing is very valuable?" At this time, Huangshan suddenly realized.
Han Peacock smiled and said: "Our one is different from this one. There are many kinds of topaz. The mineralogical name of this topaz is topaz, also known as topaz. It is a simple ore, but ours is a bit
It’s like a fossil, a type of chalcedony.”
"This internal structure is not very delicate!" Huangshan held the topaz and looked at the sun carefully. Although the refracted light was very beautiful, the internal texture looked very rough.
Han Kongque said disdainfully: "Topaz is a water-containing aluminosilicate mineral, and its aggregate shape is columnar, granular, or massive. If it looks very delicate, it is not topaz, but glass."
"Then what's going on with this light? Doesn't it look so beautiful?" Huangshan looked a little intoxicated as he looked at the colors emitted by this topaz.
Qian Mingyuan said: “Under the irradiation of long- and short-wave ultraviolet rays, topaz of various colors shows different fluorescence, so it is very beautiful. According to the color, it can generally be divided into wine yellow, colorless, blue, green, and red topaz.
Pa stone.
Among them, the best deep yellow ones are the most precious. The yellower the color, the better, followed by blue, green and red ones. The fluorescence emitted by this one is wine yellow, which is considered a top quality one. Unfortunately, the output of this kind of gemstone is too high.
, it can never be sold at a high price, otherwise, just one piece like this would be a huge gain."
"Such a beautiful gem is not worth much?" Huangshan and Wei Changqing's two bodyguards were a little in disbelief.
Wei Changqing said: "My store also sells various kinds of topaz, and the purchase channels are very wide, both domestic and foreign. This is because topaz is produced all over the world, and the most important gem-quality topaz origin is Minas, Brazil.
In Gilas Continent, the topaz there includes yellow, dark pear yellow, pink, blue and colorless.
Sri Lanka is also an important producing area. Its topaz is mainly blue, green and colorless. California, USA produces blue and yellow topaz.
There is a large amount of colorless topaz produced in Guangdong, Xinjiang, Yunnan, and other regions in my country. It can be turned into beautiful sky blue by neutron radiation, electron accelerator bombardment, CO60 irradiation and heating.
It is worth noting that topaz whose color has been changed by neutron radiation will have a certain degree of radioactivity and needs to be left for a certain period of time (such as more than half a year) before it can be used as a decorative gemstone, otherwise it will cause certain harm to the human body."
"Keep it well! This gem is not only liked by us Easterners, but also recognized by Westerners. Many countries in the world designate topaz as the 'November birthstone', which is a symbol of friendship, friendship and love. This is very special.
Important, so although the output of topaz is high, the audience is also wide, and it may increase in value rapidly in the future." Gu Tongdao.
Wei Changqing nodded and said: "In the eyes of Westerners, topaz can be worn as a talisman, which can ward off evil spirits, eliminate sorrow, and enhance confidence. Therefore, many Westerners also wear topaz, while jade and jade are generally worn by Westerners.
I don’t quite accept it, just like we Orientals don’t like diamonds very much.”
Qian Mingyuan smiled and said: "In terms of effects, using topaz powder to soak in wine can treat asthma, insomnia, burns and bleeding, so it has many effects."
Several people talked about the characteristics of topaz and did not forget to continue searching, especially Han Peacock. His magical powers were almost useless here because there were too many gravels on the ground, and he could not sense each one one by one.
What is the texture inside a stone, so he can only observe it with his eyes.
Next, Wei Changqing first found a piece of gold silk jade. Although the quality was not very good, he finally opened his business.
Following Wei Changqing, Gu Tong and Qian Mingyuan also found several pieces of Gobi jade, some colorless and some in other colors, such as yellow and red.
Both of them have lived here for a long time, so they are very experienced. They can quickly distinguish among the many stones which ones are jade and which ones are ordinary stones. However, Han Peacock and others cannot do that. They tend to look at it.
Dazzled.
"This is too difficult." After walking for more than an hour, Huangshan didn't gain anything anymore, so he gave up first.
His responsibility is Han Peacock's safety. He was not a vigilant in the first place, but now he has simply given up on treasure hunting and is only responsible for vigilance.
Qian Mingyuan said not far away: "Didn't Lao Gu just say that the price of topaz will increase? He is not talking nonsense. From what we have gained today, we can see that even topaz has become more expensive now.
It’s very rare, and things become more expensive when they are rare. If there are less of something, the price will definitely rise.” (To be continued)
