The first thousand five hundred and thirty-seven chapters of the world
Soon, the golden demon cut off the rough stone. The exposed part was very narrow and long, forty centimeters long, while the part hidden inside the original stone was only six or seven centimeters deep. It was a columnar emerald.
rough stone.
"It's pretty good. It's so big. How many kilograms does it weigh?" Mu Ling said.
Jin Yao said: "The rock outside has been completely cut out, but it still weighs one kilogram."
"So light? It only weighs a few kilograms. When I first saw it, I thought it weighed dozens of kilograms!" Chen Jiayi was disappointed again.
Of course, Han Peacock was also a little disappointed. The cross section he saw at first was forty centimeters long and ten centimeters wide, and could go deep into the rock.
However, such a large piece of emerald is already very impressive. After the cutting was completed, Han Peacock shook his head and realized that this emerald weighed four to five kilograms, not one kilogram, but more than two kilograms.
After carefully examining the texture and transparency of this emerald, Han Peacock already smiled and arched his eyebrows.
"Are you so happy? It's like you've never seen the world before. You're a big boss now. Even if you get an emerald, you don't have to be as happy as a fool, right?" Chen Jiayi said he couldn't get enough of the grapes.
No matter how uneducated he is, he still knows that emeralds are not big, and such a big piece of emerald must be a treasure.
"Such a big emerald is a treasure." Han Kongque ignored Chen Jiayi's sarcasm. He was just happy.
"Such a big emerald, wouldn't it be the largest in the world?" Tu Ling said happily.
"The world's largest? You mean the world's largest emerald? How is that possible? How big is this?" Chen Jiayi didn't believe it.
Han Kongque said: "The largest piece of emerald in the world seems to weigh 24,000 carats. Five carats is one gram, so it is 4,800 grams. Our piece is much smaller than that one. Okay,
Go and search carefully. You may be able to find a piece of the best in the world."
Han Kongque had high hopes this time. The rough stones here were quite large, and he might be able to find some large emeralds.
We all know that most emerald crystals are relatively small, and large ones are rare. However, in 1956, a high-quality emerald crystal was discovered in Azania, South Africa, weighing 24,000 carats, making it the largest in the world.
An emerald weighing 16,020 carats was also discovered in the Muzo Mine in Colombia, ranking second in the world.
Although the piece discovered by Han Kongque cannot be heavier than the above two pieces, there is still hope for the third place. The third place in the world is considered rare.
As Han Peacock knows, there are some relatively famous emeralds around the world. For example, Colombia also produced some famous emeralds. In 1891, the abdicated emperor of Brazil gave the Duke of Devonshire an unexplored, uniquely beautiful green stone weighing up to 1 carat.
, later known as devonshire emerald.
There is also an emerald named Patria, which weighs 630 carats and is also very beautiful in color.
In the Museum of Natural History in New York, the United States, there are still five unnamed huge emeralds from Muzao. They weigh 1,796 carats, 1,752 carats, 1,492 carats, 1,100 carats and 220 carats respectively.
Russia also produced emeralds weighing 1,965 grams.
The Thsonian Research Institute in Washington, USA, has an emerald that is said to be the most beautiful in existence, weighing 858 carats. The institute also has three emeralds that have been polished. They weigh 37.82 carats, 31 carats and 21 carats respectively, and are considered to be emeralds.
The epitome of green cutting.
North Carolina in the United States also produces some emerald treasures, such as the 13.14-carat Carolina emerald discovered in 1970, the 276-carat Ellis emerald, and the 1,438-carat Stephenson emerald discovered in 1969.
Compared with these emeralds that are treasured by people, the Korean Peacock is really not small. That's why Han Peacock is so happy.
Just when Han Peacock was secretly happy, he heard Tu Ling shouting again: "Boss, boss, look what I found."
This passage is not very wide. The six of them walked side by side and slowly searched forward. The passage was completely filled with people, so the earth spirit was not far from Han Peacock.
It's just that it's pitch dark here, and there are lights shining on everyone's head. So everyone can only see what is in front of them, and the lights in other places are so confusing that they can't see anything clearly.
Tu Ling was right next to Han Peacock. He directly handed Han Peacock a bowl. It was indeed a bowl, but it was an exquisite, crystal-clear and watery emerald bowl.
"Uh!" Several people were attracted by the yelling of the earth spirit, and they all looked at the emerald bowl.
"Is this a jade bowl?" Chen Jiayi blurted out.
"Emerald?" Mu Ling asked.
"Naturally formed?" Jin Yao asked, looking at the earth spirit's hand.
Tu Ling said cheerfully: "It's semi-natural. There was some ore in the bowl at first, and I dug it out, and now it's like this. When I discovered it just now, it was emerald wrapped around the stone. I didn't expect that all the stones in it would be removed."
When I dug it out, it turned into a bowl."
Han Peacock was speechless, could such a good thing happen?
However, considering that this is an emerald deposit, it is not surprising to encounter any kind of emerald.
"If you decorate it well, it will turn into an emerald bowl!" Mu Ling sighed.
The golden demon said: "Why does it weigh 500 grams?"
Chen Jiayi was stunned and said: "Two thousand five hundred carats? This is not small!"
Han Peacock looked at this emerald bowl. The outer layer of emeralds had been polished very smooth by time. Just like the piece of emerald Han Peacock touched just now, the surface had been naturally polished.
This emerald is also quite strange. It is actually an emerald wrapped around a rock. The weathered rock has been dug out by the earth spirit, so only a semicircular bowl-shaped emerald was born.
While groping for this natural emerald bowl, Han Peacock said: "The Sohes Museum in Vienna, Austria, houses a 2681-carat emerald vase carved for the Hapsburg family of the empire in 1642. No.
Do you know if this bowl is as heavy as that vase?"
"It's a pity to sell this thing." Mu Ling looked at Han Peacock and said.
Han Peacock waved his hand and said: "Emeralds are different from diamonds. We will not sell the first batch of emeralds produced. When the time comes, we will build a museum here to display the emeralds here, and the remaining scraps will be sold.
A good price.”
"Things are rare and valuable. There must be a lot of emeralds discovered in the first batch. If they are not sold, the scarcity in the market will be high. It is really high." Chen Jiayi said with admiration.
Han Kongque looked sideways and said, "You think too badly of me."
Chen Jiayi said disapprovingly: "That's how you are, what did I think? Keep all the good things for yourself, and only those you don't like will be sold for money."
This time Han Peacock stopped talking, put away the emerald bowl, and they continued to search. This passage was indeed a rich emerald mine, and after countless years of water erosion, many emerald rough stones were separated, so Han Peacock
Do you plan to sell this batch of gems?
Because there are so many emeralds here, just by shining a light, there are raw emeralds reflecting green light everywhere. So many raw stones cannot be put into the market at once.
"It's really unfair that such a good thing was found by the two of you." Chen Jiayi fiddled with some emeralds in his hands. He found quite a few, but they were too small.
"Eh? What you got is a crystal? It's so big, how did you find it?" The light on Han Peacock's head accidentally shone on Chen Jiayi's hand, and he didn't expect to see an emerald crystal.
"It's really a crystal. Emerald crystals of this quality are rare." Mu Ling also noticed what was in Chen Jiayi's hand, so he exclaimed in amazement.
"Crystal? It looks like a crystal, but what's so strange about this kind of emerald?" Chen Jiayi asked confused.
Mu Ling said: "I don't know what is precious, but I know that there are two hexagonal columnar emerald crystals in the Topkapi Museum in Istanbul, Turkey, 6 meters and 8 meters long respectively. There is also a piece named De
The Wenjun emerald crystal is 5.1m long and weighs 1384 carats."
The lights of Mu Ling and others all focused on Han Peacock. Han Peacock could only reply: "Collectible emerald crystals must first have a perfect crystal form, that is, a hexagonal prism geometric shape, such as wooden
The two hexagonal cylindrical emerald crystals stored in the Istanbul Museum that Ling just mentioned.
Secondly, it must have gem-level color and clarity. Only a beryl crystal with the above three characteristics can be regarded as a treasure with collection value. It is a top-level emerald collection that combines the two characteristics of gem-level and mineral-grade.
!”
"Is there another size? If it's too small, it won't have much collection value, right?" Chen Jiayi was already grinning at this time.
The light shines on an emerald crystal in his hand. It is a hexagonal columnar emerald crystal. The most important thing is the transparency of this crystal. This transparency illustrates its quality.
Of course, there is also the length that Chen Jiayi pays special attention to. This emerald crystal that shines with a rich green light but is as transparent as water is definitely more than ten centimeters, which is why Chen Jiayi is so happy.
"You have to look at the transparency, and the emerald crystal has vertical lines. Look clearly, don't say tourmaline." Han Peacock smiled and hit Chen Jiayi. It is impossible to fake the emerald crystal here, but there is another possibility.
Tourmaline crystal!
"How could it be tourmaline? It must be emerald. What are the vertical lines? Mu Ling, please help me take a look." Chen Jiayi obviously didn't trust Han Kongque anymore. This kid just didn't forget to hit him. This was the first time he discovered that it was good.
