The first thousand four hundred and eighty-eighth chapters
"This is a diamond? It's too ugly." Han Peacock was a little disappointed and picked up the rough diamond, which was about the size of a peanut.
I have long heard that rough diamonds are ugly, but I didn’t expect them to look this way. However, this rough diamond is not small in size, but it is impossible to calculate how big a diamond can be cut out by removing the surface stone.
This rough diamond is very inconspicuous, similar to frosted glass. Han Peacock knew that rough diamonds generally have perfect crystal shapes and are rarely transparent. Most of them have crystal defects such as etching lines and pits, and their colors vary widely. But he really didn't expect that rough diamonds would be so
Ugly.
However, after finding this diamond, Han Kongque had great confidence. The basic crystal shapes of rough diamonds are cube (hexahedron), octahedron, and rhombohedral dodecahedron. The actual crystals are all basic types or deformations.
But no matter how it changes, it will always be in these forms, which makes it easier for Han Peacock to find rough diamonds.
"If the features are so obvious, no matter how many diamonds there are, I will dig them out for him." Han Peacock looked at the diamonds in his hands and laughed.
There are not many diamonds underground in this diamond park. Almost all diamonds are distributed on the surface. This makes it very suitable for Korean peacocks to hunt for treasure.
"I don't know how much this diamond is worth." Han Kongque only introduced the diamond in writing, but he couldn't judge its true price.
Han Kongque just knew that the price of rough diamonds is also estimated based on the finished value.
In addition to looking at the color and clarity, you also need to consider what kind of cutting the shape is suitable for, and then consider the value after cutting.
According to their uses, diamonds can generally be divided into gem-grade rough diamonds and industrial-grade rough diamonds.
Gem-quality diamonds are not distinguished by size, but by the color and clarity of the rough diamond. Even if a rough diamond has 1 carat, it is still gem-quality if it has good color and clarity. On the contrary, no matter how large it is, it is not considered gem-quality.
Can be regarded as industrial grade.
However, if the rough diamond is very large, the threshold for evaluating whether the rough diamond is a gem-quality diamond will be lowered accordingly.
Furthermore, in terms of diamond size, what Han Kongque understands is that if the cut diamond is larger than 10.8 carats, then the owner of the diamond can name the diamond, and such a diamond can be included in the world's famous diamonds.
's big list.
Rough diamonds larger than 100 carats are rarely found, so they are naturally considered national treasures. Currently, no more than 10 rough diamonds over 100 carats have been mined in China.
But the academic value of such a diamond is greater than its actual value. Most countries will not sell it, so it is basically worthless.
If there is a price, this kind of rough stone is priced according to the size of the finished diamond that can be obtained after cutting. For 100 carats, you may only get a finished diamond weighing 30 carats, or even less.
Referring to the auction prices of diamonds of similar fineness and size in recent years, we can roughly set the price. The price range varies greatly. It is roughly estimated that the minimum RMB cost is tens of millions.
This rough diamond exceeds ten carats anyway, but it would be good to leave five carats after cutting. In other words, at least half of this diamond will be stolen, so Han Peacock really can't judge this.
The value of a diamond.
Besides, he couldn't see the purity of the diamond, and purity and cut are two major factors that affect the value of a diamond.
"No matter what, this diamond is not small. It's a good start. I don't know what's going on with Langdem." Han Peacock put away the shovel and came to Langdem.
With just a glance, Han Peacock discovered that Langdem was quite serious about his work. In just a short while, he had already given birth to more than three meters.
Seeing the small mound of soil piled next to him, Han Peacock laughed. Did Longdom really think that this was the soil he needed?
Looking at the three-meter-deep hole dug out by Langdem, Han Peacock took his shovel and said, "Look at mine next."
"Then I'll go rinse the dirt." Langdem said, looking at the large bucket of dirt collected.
Han Peacock shook his head and said: "No need to waste time. We need the soil below, these are useless here."
"You know there are no diamonds in this soil?" Langdem looked at Han Peacock and said.
Han Kongque said with a smile: "I don't know how many times the soil above has been searched by others. It is difficult to find diamonds, so we need the soil below four meters, where the possibility of finding diamonds is greater."
"Young man, is this your first time here? Haha, such an idea is so ridiculous." At this time, a big man carrying two buckets of soil laughed and said.
"Don't think that just because you have found a peridot, you will think that there are gems everywhere here. You are just wasting your time by searching like this." Another young man also said.
"Yes, although your tools look good, it is a waste of effort." Another treasure hunter also expressed his opinion.
"This tool is pretty good. It's very convenient for collecting deep soil. I think I need one too." A handsome white guy came over. He was a professional and he easily discovered the function of the shovel in Han Peacock's hand.
Han Peacock said with a smile: "There is no way, the soil above has been sifted too many times, and this tool can easily bring out the deep soil. Maybe this will make it easier to sift out diamonds."
"Your idea is right. The soil above has been turned over too many times. It is easier to find diamonds in the soil below." The handsome white man said.
Han Peacock nodded. At this time, he was almost touching the target here. This crystal was not small, otherwise Han Peacock would not have regarded it as the first target.
After locking the target with his spiritual sense, Han Peacock thrust the shovel in his hand hard, and then brought the crystal out of the ground together with the soil.
This time, Han Peacock did not pour the soil into the small mound next to Langdem, but poured it directly into the sieve next to him.
"The depth is enough. Search carefully. If there are stones, pick them out. Maybe you can find diamonds." Han Peacock looked at Langdom with a smile and said.
"How can diamonds be so easy to find? Moreover, the diamonds here are very small and need to be washed with water, otherwise we will not find them easily." Langdem smoothed the soil in the sieve and wanted to sift through it.
Having achieved his goal, Han Peacock didn't want to continue digging here, so he put down the shovel and took the sieve from Langdem's hand.
There is a crystal weighing more than ten grams inside. Regardless of whether it is a diamond or not, Han Peacock wants to find it with his own hands.
A stone weighing ten grams is not very big, but its weight is more than twenty carats, which is considered large among rough diamonds, so Han Peacock had to be careful.
The last shovelful of soil was not much, so it was crushed into pieces by Han Peacock, and the target was quickly discovered.
"Ah!" When Han Peacock saw the target, Langdem also saw it, and this diamond was much more beautiful than the one Han Peacock discovered just now, so it was even more eye-catching.
This is an oval white crystal with a smooth surface. It is larger than a peanut and is as big as the index finger of a Korean peacock.
"This is a diamond, and it's a big diamond. We're rich." Seeing such obvious features, Langham shouted directly.
Han Kongque held this rough diamond, which was actually similar in size to the one he found just now, except that this one had no impurities or stone skin, and was just a pure crystal.
Even if you are not a professional, you can recognize such a crystal as a diamond at a glance.
"Is it really a diamond? A big diamond?" Several people nearby who came to watch the excitement were already dumbfounded.
"Can you really find diamonds like this?"
"Isn't this so lucky?"
"It's a diamond. It's a white diamond. It's very pure. It's thirty carats. You've made a fortune." The professional treasure hunter said with an envious look on his face.
"How could it be so easy to find a diamond? You just drilled a four-meter-deep hole and found such a big diamond?" Langdom was still a little unbelievable at this time.
"Man, I know where there are diamonds, what do you think? Follow me and you won't regret it, right?" Han Peacock laughed.
Langdem also laughed and said: "I didn't expect you to be so lucky. You have gained two times in a row."
"Man, ten thousand dollars, I will buy this rough stone for ten thousand dollars."
"I'll pay you $30,000. It's quite big!"
"Don't make any trouble, what about 30,000 dollars? If the purity is high, I won't sell it to you for 300,000 dollars."
As more and more people gathered around, the scene became more complicated. Some people wanted to fish in troubled waters, so they kept approaching Han Kongque and the others.
"No, we won't sell it, at least not now. Don't come near me. I won't be polite if you come any closer." At this moment, Langdom yelled and pushed some people who were close to him outside.
.
Han Peacock, on the other hand, hid behind Langdem and looked at these people with a smile.
Some of these people are tourists, some are professional Taobao hunters, and some are just troublemakers who want to fish in troubled waters.
"Man, be quiet. We don't have any harm. We just like to hunt for treasures. Every visitor who comes to Diamond Park wants to get rich overnight. Man, you have found the diamond, but it is not necessarily valuable. Why not take it out?
let us see.
If the price is right, we really hope to collect a rough stone produced in the Diamond Park. Believe me, the price we offer will definitely satisfy you." At this time, a person who had previously bid to buy the peridot from Han Peacock said,
He spoke.
"We need an appraisal from the park authorities before we take action." Langdom is not stupid, and he has been here for a few days, so he knows the people here very well.
"No problem, our jewelry company is willing to purchase it at the market price." The man just now said again.
"Our jewelry company is also willing to buy your diamonds."
