Whether emeralds will be dug out in the quarry, Han Peacock doesn't know, because this is Han Peacock's conjecture. Just like the rock they found, no matter who sees the exposed green, it will also cause
Note, as long as you pay a little attention, you may find that this is a gem.
But Han Peacock also thought about Americans’ peeing habits. If they are not professionals, some ordinary people may see emeralds and think they are glass. Sometimes Americans lack common sense, which is really painful.
, some of their common sense is not even as good as that of **-year-old children in China.
For example, in arithmetic, even adults may not be as good as domestic third- and fourth-grade children. They think there is no need to waste time memorizing a lot of knowledge, so this situation occurs. Of course, there is a possibility of digging out emeralds from quarrying.
But it won't be very big.
Even so, Han Peacock still wanted to take a look. After all, the quarry had already dug up the mountain, and there might be something discovered there.
It is definitely not easy to find an emerald mine, and it is even more difficult to find it if it has been discovered.
It is said that emeralds were discovered in ancient Egypt about 4,000 years ago, and emeralds in Colombia were discovered in the 16th century and are hundreds of years old.
The emerald mines in Colombia were first discovered by the Incas. When the Spanish occupied the Inca Kingdom, they seized a large amount of this precious gem from the Incas.
In order to find out the origin of the emeralds, the Spaniards tortured the Inca people, but the Inca people would rather die than tell the origin of the emeralds.
Before that, the Incas had long removed the traces of emerald mining, and the growing bushes covered the path to the mine entrance.
It was difficult for the Spaniards to find mines. By chance, the Spaniards discovered Colombia's Muzo emerald deposits in 1555. It has been mined by Spaniards and private individuals since then. It was not owned by the Colombian state until 1886, and emeralds are still being produced today.
Lu.
In Han Kongque's opinion, the quarry here has been discovered. However, no matter how he looked at it, the situation below looked like a coal digger, but it didn't look like a quarry.
However, through the messy scene outside, Han Kongque also knew why this was a quarry. Some huge rocks outside the mine had been dug into pieces and were in a mess.
Perhaps it was because of this scene that Jin Yao and the others thought this was a quarry.
Han Kongque's perception had been released a long time ago. So he went directly to his destination. There was a mine below. The scene he perceived was very clear. It was a mine like a coal mine.
The actual scene of the excavation in the mine is more detailed than that of the coal mine, so it cannot be a coal mine, but it is most likely a tourmaline mine, an abandoned tourmaline mine.
But it looks like this. It has been abandoned for many years, so someone destroyed the rocks outside.
Of course, there is another possibility, that is, someone deliberately destroyed the mine outside so that people cannot easily enter the mine, thereby concealing some situations.
And if this is the case, then there is no way to explain the three rocks that escaped from here. Therefore, Han Kongque could only believe that this was an unintentional act of destruction, not intentional.
After searching carefully around, no other cave entrance was found, which made Han Peacock feel relieved.
There is no more secret entrance. This means that the mine here must have been abandoned, or abandoned for a while.
No matter what, the mine here probably doesn't have an owner yet. If there are really emeralds down there, as long as Han Peacock moves quickly, this mine doesn't necessarily belong to someone.
With the help of the earth spirit and the golden demon, the mine was quickly dug out. During the excavation, they also dug out a large piece of ore, but unfortunately, there was nothing in it.
Next, they dug many large and small stones from the bottom of the pit, passed them to the ground, and then washed and sorted them.
A good treasure hunting place is semi-enclosed. This is a treasure hunting place.
This mine has been abandoned because all the gems have been dug out. However, even in an abandoned mine, it is possible to dig out gems again, whether they are emeralds or tourmalines.
There is a puddle in the quarry, and panning is done in this puddle to wash away the clay on the outside of the stone.
The small stones have already appeared. After ten minutes of washing, the clay and stones that were excavated are just these small stones.
Among these pebbles, it is possible to pick out gems, but it is also possible to dig for months with no results.
But this time Han Peacock didn't have any luck. They washed it several times and couldn't find even a broken tourmaline.
Jin Yao and Chen Jiayi went to hunt for treasure again, but this time Han Kongque did not participate. He knew that this time he was looking in the wrong direction.
This is an abandoned mine. Hunting for treasure in this kind of mine requires luck, but before them, there must have been countless people who came here to try their luck, so it is reasonable for them to find nothing.
There are so many people who come here to search for treasures but get nothing, so why can you find treasures as soon as you come here?
That's why Han Kongque thought that he was looking in the wrong direction. Those three rocks may not have been taken out of this mine.
Han Peacock looked at the messy cut rocks outside. Many of these rocks were granite. Han Peacock had never seen some of the other rocks, but he could also guess that biotite and gneiss, among these rocks, might produce grandmothers.
green.
So there is really no need for them to follow the path of their predecessors and re-take their old path, because their predecessors have already walked it countless times, leaving future generations with no way to go. Instead, in the messy granite outside, there may be others.
way out.
The formation of emerald is related to the intrusion of granite pegmatite into metamorphosed ultrabasic rock.
Emeralds are produced in uneven phenocrysts, and the surrounding rock is strongly migmatized biotite schist and gneiss.
This is not the case for the rocks in the mine. After carefully analyzing the surrounding rocks, Han Peacock discovered that even if there was some emerald output in the mine, there would definitely be very little, so this is an abandoned mine.
Tourmaline mines, and there must be emeralds in semi-raw mines.
There are definitely faults in the mountains, so the geological structure is a little more complicated, which is completely understandable. Maybe the geology above is different from the geology in the mines below.
Soon, Han Peacock proved this through the rocks he excavated. The earth spirit and the golden demon worked hard and finally cleaned up the messy rocks on it.
After cleaning up, Han Kongque discovered that the granite, biotite and gneiss here did not go deep into the ground, but stretched into the mountain from the other side. If emeralds were produced here, they should be dug along this vein.
Han Kongque cleaned up all the surrounding rocks and figured out the direction and distribution of the gneiss veins here.
Among them, Han Kongque also picked up two semi-precious stones. Making a discovery, Han Kongque was sure that the rocks that produced emeralds were not obtained from the mines.
"Golden Demon, cut it carefully and polish it to see what quality it is and whether it is worthy of further exploration." Han Kongque said happily.
The golden demon activated his power without saying a word. He first cleared away the rocks outside. After only the dark green gems were left, he carefully cut out a rhombus, which would waste the least amount of emeralds.
After the cutting was completed, Jin Yao handed the gem directly to Tu Ling. Tu Ling held the gem and fumbled slowly for a while. When he handed the gem to Han Kongque again, the unobtrusive raw gem had been preliminary polished and cut.
It has become a crystal clear gem.
"Is this polished? It feels amazing!" Chen Jiayi exclaimed while holding the beautiful diamond-shaped gemstone.
Han Peacock was also a little surprised. Whether it was the design and cutting ability of the golden demon or the polishing technique of the earth spirit, he was surprised.
It seems that only using their powers for defense work is a waste of their abilities.
With this thought, Han Kongque remembered that Jin Yao and Mu Ling had studied jewelry design when they were not doing anything. It seemed that they really had talents in this area.
"It's so beautiful." Han Peacock praised.
"It seems that there are really emerald veins here." Chen Jiayi was freed from the light of the gems and looked at the place where the two gems were found just now.
"I heard that emeralds can make your eyes more comfortable when they look longer." Han Peacock said with a smile.
"Those magical abilities are all fabricated to raise the price of emeralds, right?" Chen Jiayi disagreed.
Han Peacock also has this idea, but the color of emerald is really pleasing to the eye, and green itself has the effect of relieving eye fatigue, so this is not just a fabrication.
Emerald, with its beautiful bright green color, has attracted praise and pursuit of it for generations. There must be a reason for this. Ancient people left many words of praise and strange stories about emerald.
An ancient Roman scholar said that no gemstone has such a pleasing color and is so easy on the eyes.
The color of emerald makes people feel more happy. No other green is so rich. It is the only gem that people can never tire of.
No matter it is cloudy or sunny, it always emits a soft and rich light. Craftsmen who cut and polish gemstones believe that gazing at the soft green color of emerald can make them feel comfortable and eliminate fatigue.
Ancient people believed that emeralds have the magical ability to enhance people's character. People who hold emeralds will have supernatural abilities to predict the future, and can enhance memory and eloquence, making the holders more agile and loyal.
Some ancient people believed that emeralds could make wasteful people frugal, thereby making them richer. (To be continued.)
