Chapter 1496: The Feast of Gems

"Steven, what are you going to do with this golden crown? Collect it yourself or send it to auction? There must be a lot of people on the live stream who are very concerned about this!"

Chandler's voice came again, still very excited.

Ye Tian looked at the golden crown in his hand, then said with a smile:

"I'm not going to collect it myself, but when I get back to New York and find out where the golden crown came from and how much it is worth, I'll put it up for auction.

If anyone is interested in this golden crown, they are welcome to come to New York and participate in the auction, as long as you beat the other competitors, the golden crown will be yours!"

Hearing his words, there was a scolding sound in some places immediately, and some of these guys were even more hateful, but they were very helpless, and they didn't have anything to do with Ye Tian at all!

While cursing at the top of their throats, the eyes of these guys lit up.

If this golden crown is really related to your own country or tribe, and you can't get it through other means and means, then you have to go to New York to participate in the auction and strive to win this golden crown!

Holding the golden crown in his hand and admiring it for a while, Ye Tian took the dark green silk from Matisse's hand, rewrapped the crown, and put it back in the red sandalwood box.

Immediately after, he took out a sealed bag he was carrying, put the red sandalwood box inside, and then tied the bulging sealed bag around his waist!

Seeing his action, everyone immediately understood that he was ready to bring this golden crown to the sea in person.

This treasure has been exposed, countless people have seen it, and then put it back in the wooden crate and continue to put it in this cargo hold, which is somewhat inappropriate!

"Guys, let's go ahead, I'm sure there's more than a golden crown in this wooden box, and maybe there's an even bigger surprise, just waiting for us to find out!"

Ye Tian pointed to the wooden box in front of him and said with a smile.

"You're right, Steven, there must be valuable treasures in the other metal boxes, and they are probably jeweled diamonds, otherwise Rommel wouldn't be so cautious!"

Matisse nodded in response, his tone excited and full of anticipation.

Before he could finish speaking, he reached in and prepared to take out another metal box from the wooden box.

However, he miscalculated and failed to pick up the metal box in the first place, the weight of which was obviously a bit unexpected for him.

"Wow! This metal box is very heavy, not to mention thirty-four or five kilograms, and it is difficult to contain Nacui gold, so there is no need to put it in the box!"

Matisse exclaimed, a little confused.

After saying this, he exerted his strength again, took out the metal box, and put it on the bulkhead of the freighter next to it, which is now on the floor!

The rest of the work was the same as the first metal box that had been dismantled.

After a few efforts, Matisse and Raymond cooperated with each other, and soon opened the rusty metal box!

As soon as they lifted the top lid of the metal box, the two guys exclaimed loudly, almost crazy with excitement!

"Oh my God, a whole box of preliminarily cut and polished sapphires, more than thirty kilograms, and the highest sapphires, am I not mistaken?

At the same time as they exclaimed, the sea water in front of them had completely turned blue, and the live broadcast screen was the same, a clear blue, all of which were set off by those top-grade sapphires in the metal box.

"More than 30 kilograms of top-grade sapphires? I heard you right? How is this possible! What a huge fortune that must be, I can't even think of it!"

"It's so beautiful, I've never seen so many top sapphires, and I've never seen such a beautiful picture, it's crazy, it's like a dream!"

Countless people in front of the live broadcast were hugging their heads and exclaiming, everyone was stunned by this scene on the live broadcast screen, and their eyes were about to fly out of their sockets!

At this moment, Ye Tianqing's voice suddenly came into everyone's ears.

"I also wish it was a top quality sapphire, it would be perfect, but alas, they are not Kashmiri cornflower blue, but a gemstone from Africa, Tanzanite blue!"

"Ahh

Matisse exclaimed again, and immediately turned his head to look at Ye Tian's side, his tone and eyes were slightly disappointed.

Raymond next to him also turned his head to look at Ye Tian, waiting for him to give a follow-up explanation.

Ye Tian nodded lightly, reached out and took out a gem from the box, and admired it carefully before he began to introduce this African specialty gem!

"Tanzanite and sapphire, although they are both blue and very beautiful, are not the same thing, the chemical composition of these two gemstones is completely different!

In mineralogy, tanzanite is also known as zoisite, and true sapphire is known as corundum, but broadly speaking, tanzanite can also be called sapphire.

In terms of hardness, Tanzanite has a lower hardness, only 7 on the Mohs scale, while sapphires can reach 9 on the Mohs scale, so Tanzanite is not as wear-resistant as sapphire!

Although the hardness is lower, the color saturation and fire of tanzanite are far better than sapphire, and the color of tanzanite blue is mostly blue with purple, which looks very beautiful!

This is the best of sapphires, the color of Kashmir cornflower blue, and because of this, everyone will mistakenly think that this is the top sapphire!

As for the price, sapphires range from $10 per carat to $10,000 per carat and beyond, and I've seen more than $100,000 per carat of cornflower sapphires!"

Hearing this, Matisse and Raymond couldn't help but laugh softly.

Betty, who was in the living room on the main deck of the Brave Intrepid and was watching the live broadcast, also had a bright smile on her face.

The top-grade cornflower sapphire of more than 100,000 US dollars per carat is the set of cornflower sapphire jewelry that Ye Tian auctioned at a jewelry auction in New York and gave to Betty!

After a slight pause, Ye Tian continued:

"The price of tanzanite is different, the cheapest natural tanzania blue will not cost less than 100 dollars per carat, but the most expensive will not exceed 1,000 dollars per carat.

Of course, this is the price in the African market, and in the European, American and Asian markets, the price of top tanzanite will rise a little, but the increase will be very limited.

Compared with sapphires, the price range of tanzanite blue is very small, and these tanzanite blues in front of me can be regarded as top-quality goods, and the quantity is huge, and it is also a huge wealth,......

Before Ye Tian could give an estimate, many people had already quickly calculated the approximate value of this batch of tanzanite blue, and the exclamation immediately sounded again.

"At least 30 million dollars! I'll go! Steven, this bastard can't make money too fast, and printing money at full speed isn't that exaggerated, right?"

"Oh my God! This shipwreck treasure is also amazing, could it be that Rommel treasures are all on this freighter?

While there was a lot of talk, Matisse reluctantly closed the metal box and set it aside.

Tanzanite is beautiful and intoxicating, but now is not the time to enjoy it, and when you get these treasures out of the water, you will have time to enjoy them slowly.

Next, Matisse and Raymond took out all the remaining metal boxes in the wooden box and opened them one by one.

The contents of these metal boxes are not the same, but the contents of each box are valuable and dazzling, and when each box is opened, there will be an exclamation on the live broadcast end!

Immediately after Tanzanite blue, there is a box of colorful opals, and they are all top colors, all kinds of colors!

As the ancient Roman scientist Pliny said, on these opals, you can see the flame of rubies, amethyst-like spots, and the emerald green sea, which are colorful, integrated, and beautiful.

After admiring the opal, which is known as the gemstone palette, a box of top-quality rubies appeared in front of everyone's eyes again, completely dyeing the sea water, the live broadcast screen, and even everyone's eyes!

These rubies are like flowing blood, like burning flames, full of passion!
