The first thousand five hundred and twenty-eight chapters are rare and precious

Han Kongque and all of them could easily see that this rock was carved from a larger rock.

I just don’t know where this ore came from, because no matter how you look at it, it doesn’t look like flowing water stone, but like a mountain rock.

"Where did you find this stone?" Han Peacock asked.

The earth spirit, the earth-type psychic that Han Kongque has been keeping with him recently, said: "This is the stone we moved from the mountain to the east. We originally wanted to dig an earth stove in the ground, but that one is not easy to use.

Conveniently, when we went hunting just now, we happened to see these few rocks, so we brought them all back."

Afterwards, Tu Ling looked at the stone curiously and said, "Boss, is this also a gem?"

Han Peacock said with a smile: "Golden Demon, see if your skill has increased. Be careful and cut out this green piece."

"No problem." The golden demon and the wooden spirit had been in the holy lake in the Tibetan area. Now that it was taken over by the official golden army, they were fine. This time they were brought out by Han Peacock as bodyguards.

Among the four bodyguards, the other one is a light and shadow person who can manipulate light and shadow and is proficient in invisibility, so usually if he doesn't speak, others will not notice him.

The Golden Demon is a metal-based superpower. Although he cannot grow spikes from his body at will like Wolverine in the movie, the nails on his hands are still as sharp as knives.

The golden demon activated the power, and the nail on the index finger of his right hand immediately became longer and narrower, forming a slender cone, which instantly penetrated the rock. At this moment, the cone changed again,

In an instant, the sharp cone grew into a thin blade, quickly cutting the stone into several pieces. Some useless rocks were cut off.

The golden demon moved very quickly and did not need to be too careful when cutting off the rocks around the emerald. Therefore, he soon cut out a fist-sized green rough stone.

At this time, the golden demon's movements slowed down. He carefully carved the rough stone and slowly peeled off the emerald.

In just a few minutes, a piece of emerald the size of an egg was completely cut out.

Looking at this ugly stone, Chen Jiayi said in surprise: "Why is it so ugly? It might as well look amazing just now."

Han Peacock said with a smile: "The side we saw just now is polished, naturally polished, and these are not processed. As long as they are processed, you will definitely be amazed."

"This emerald is of good quality," Mu Ling said.

Han Peacock looked at Mu Ling, and Jin Yao said with a smile: "Mu Ling has learned jewelry design and knows a little bit about various jewelry."

Jin Yao didn't say that when they had nothing to do in the Tibetan area, they both learned some jewelry design. It wasn't that they liked it very much. It was just that they were bored. The most they had in their hands was gold and various jade stones, so they could only take these things.

Played.

"Is this really emerald?" The earth spirit felt like an ugly piece of glass no matter how he looked at it.

Han Kongque said with a smile: "Just do the appraisal. In fact, it is very simple and convenient to identify emeralds."

Although I am sure that this is an emerald, it is better to have it authenticated. This will also strengthen everyone's confidence, including Han Peacock.

There are many ways to identify emeralds. The simplest way is to fill a bowl with water and put the gems in the bowl. If the whole bowl appears faintly green, it is a real emerald.

Or put the emerald to be identified into a copper basin, surround it with paper, and light the white paper with fire. If the fire turns green, it is a real emerald.

Or prepare a pot of red charcoal and put the gem you want to authenticate into the charcoal. If the charcoal smells fragrant and is immediately extinguished, it is a real emerald.

It is because of these characteristics that emerald is regarded as a symbol of love and life, representing spring full of vitality.

According to legend, it is also the gemstone favored by Venus, the goddess of love. Therefore, emerald has the connotation of success and protection of love. It can give the wearer honest and beautiful memories.

Chen Jiayi put the emerald into a bowl, and what he saw was naturally full of green. So, they no longer had any doubt that this was an emerald, and it was a very high-quality emerald.

"I wonder if there are any emeralds among the other two rocks." Chen Jiayi looked at the other two rocks with bright eyes.

The golden demon moved faster. He took action directly and broke the two rocks into eight pieces. However, emeralds were not easy to find, so there was nothing in the two rocks.

"Okay, I can't cook anymore. It seems I can only have barbecue outside today." Han Kongque said with a wry smile.

If emeralds were so easy to find, how could they still be so expensive? Things are rare and expensive!

The quantity of this thing is small. Yu Shan doesn't know anything else, but he knows that among all the emerald mines in Zambia, under the premise of normal production and continuous growth of output, they only produce more than 3,000 kilograms of emeralds every year.

The rough stone is just over three tons.

The emeralds produced there are sold to jewelers in India and Israel through auctions. The auctions are held 6-7 times a year, with approximately 250 kilograms of emerald raw material being auctioned each time.

In addition, there are about 1,000 kilograms of medium and low-grade emerald raw materials in the mine, which will also be sold to India for processing into emerald rings, plain noodles, beads and other products.

There are also about 100 kilograms of medium and high-grade emerald raw materials, which are sold to Israel for processing.

The largest emerald mine in Zambia is Pirella. This mine not only has a large output, but also has low-to-high products.

In addition, there are fire mines, chama mines, tipolelle mines, etc. With so many mines, only three tons of emerald rough can be mined a year. How big is the market they face?

Therefore, it’s no wonder that emeralds are not expensive. Almost all of these emeralds are about one carat in size. How much does one carat weigh?

One-fifth of a gram, such small emeralds account for the majority. For example, emeralds produced in Zimbabwe are mainly mined from the Sandaana mine. The raw materials are mainly supplied to jewelers in Idar-Oberstein, Germany. Here

Most of the emeralds produced are of small size, mostly less than 1 gram.

"How much can this emerald sell for?" Chen Jiayi couldn't help but ask.

Han Peacock said contemptuously: "You are still the boss of a jewelry company, don't you know anything?"

"I just want to invest. Who stipulates that the boss must know everything? Have you forgotten your motto? Leave professional things to professionals. Isn't this what you often say?" Chen Jiayi had no idea at all.

The way of shame.

"Is that what I mean? If you know the price of jewelry, you will be considered professional?" Han Kongque was a little speechless, not knowing how to prove Chen Jiayi's shamelessness.

“Currently, the price of high-quality emeralds on the international market is between 650 and 11,000 US dollars per carat, or even higher. To buy emeralds, you generally have to go to large jade stores or gemstone wholesale markets.

In these places, the price of emeralds is generally 1/3 to 1/2 of the price of white diamonds. If the customer needs high-grade, heavy-weight emeralds, they can entrust the purchase after registering at the counter. The price of emeralds varies depending on their quality.

, the unit price ranges from more than ten dollars to tens of thousands of dollars per carat." Mu Ling said in surprise.

This time Han Peacock really noticed Mu Ling. It seemed that Mu Ling did not only know a little bit, but also knew the market price of jewelry very well.

"How about this emerald?" Chen Jiayi also forgot to be shy and looked directly at Mu Ling.

Mu Ling took this piece of emerald and looked at it for a while and said: "It is of high quality, it is five hundred carats. The price of such a large emerald is naturally not low. You can buy it for five thousand US dollars per carat."

"Huh? Just such a broken stone can be sold for two and a half million dollars? Is there any justice in this world?" Chen Jiayi looked at Han Kongque. This boy's luck was really incredible.

Han Peacock shook his head and said: "This is luck. Such luck is rare, so if you want to get rich, you still need to work hard. Okay, let's eat. After lunch, we went to the mountain where we found this emerald.

Look, you can’t find tourmaline, but it’s not bad to find emerald.”

"Is it good? It's very good." Chen Jiayi said.

"Just picking up a random stone is so good. I don't know what the quality of the emeralds produced in the emerald mines here is. It would be great if it could reach the quality of Colombia." The golden demon said unexpectedly.

Han Kongque glanced at him and said, "Don't think too much about this. There are very few emerald producing areas in the world that can reach the level of Colombia."

"Is the emerald produced in Colombia good?" Chen Jiayi asked.

Han Kongque immediately said with disdain: "Don't say you know me when you go out. It's too embarrassing. It's a miracle that a jewelry company owner like you can keep the company running smoothly."

Seeing Chen Jiayi's embarrassment, Mu Ling hurriedly said: "The emeralds produced in Colombia have long been famous in the world, and one of the rarely known Dabizi granular emeralds is unique in the world.

In 1946, this rare emerald gem was first discovered in Villa Blanca, Muzo, a famous mining area. The original Spanish meaning is: a wheel for grinding sucrose. Because there is a hexagonal core in the center of the gemstone, it is

It radiates six lines like the sun's rays, forming a star-shaped pattern, hence its name.

The locals firmly believe that this is a special gift from God, and each line represents blessing: health, wealth, love, luck, wisdom, happiness. Because of the special properties of gemstones, they are polished into cambered shapes instead of flat cuts.

With the closure of the Biaranca mining area, the existing Tabizi has become even more precious. The Andean Star currently in the British Empire and the Victoria and Abbott Museum in London weighs 80.61 carats and is considered a priceless treasure." (To be continued.)
