Chapter 90: Opal
"Qin Ming, show us the stone in your pocket!" Luo Shijing said and went to my pocket.
"You may not know you if you see it......"
"Who said that, as long as it's a treasure with a lot of price, we girls have all seen it~" Luo Shijing said with a smile.
After all, women like rare things, especially diamonds, gold, jade, and the like.
I carefully took the pebble out of my pocket and placed it on the stone under the palm tree, and to be honest, even the pebble was unusually beautiful, reflecting a dazzling color in the sunlight.
"Sister Luo, I look at this stone a little familiarly, but I can't say it, I remember the last time I walked the catwalk in Azhou...... Oh oh oh! I remembered! This is a gem!" Ye Wan'er suddenly shouted.
"Opal?" Luo Shijing and Tian Mengling said together.
I fainted on the spot, and sure enough, a woman's recognition of gems is the same as a man's recognition of LOL hero skills, and even if you only put one skill, you can know which hero it is.
"Yes, this is it! I didn't think I could find such a treasure in this cave!"
Sure enough, it seems that the price of this stone must be quite expensive.
"But why does this Komodo keep guarding these opals, and what other uses do they have?" I didn't find any use for this shiny opal.
"We don't know very well, after all, in the city, we only buy processed ones, how the opals are unearthed or what specific use value they have, we don't know. Luo Shijing spread her hands.
"I really know about this. Opal is mainly produced in Continent A, and I remember that black is the most precious. And this stone is famous because it has a color-changing effect and a cat's eye effect. Especially the black opal, it's very valuable!" Ye Wan'er's eyes sparkled as if she had found gold.
"I know! It won't be like what is described in many fantasy novels, right? Because there will always be fierce beasts around the peerless treasures, and protecting the treasures is a mission~ It can also make them live longer. Maybe this Komodo is the mythical beast that guards the opal!"
After Tian Mengling finished speaking, we all rolled our eyes, this kind of speculation is too outrageous, after all, it is all fiction by online novelists.
"I think it may have something to do with the nature of opals!" Ye Wan'er said.
"What do you mean by this?" Luo Shijing was very curious.
"You think, after all, this stone is in a hole in the ground, and there is no eye, why is it so colorful?
"As far as I know, the composition of this gemstone is all dioxide...... "Of course I wanted to interject on the academic question, but I just remembered that I understood, but I forgot what the chemical was called.
"It's silica!" Tian Mengling corrected.
"Well, most of the beautiful stones, like jade and agate, have different levels of silica, and opals certainly have them, and they account for a huge proportion. On top of that, opals also contain a small amount of water!"
"Damn, there's water in the stone, are you kidding me?" I picked up a stone and shone it into the sun, where was the water except for the very attractive color?
"Oh, Qin Ming, why are you so stupid! Of course, the water is not visible to the naked eye~"
I've been really embarrassed one after another lately, and it's really uncomfortable to be uneducated.
"Opals contain water, and they are cool underground, especially when they are first mined, they are very cold, and Komodo is larger, and this guy hates heat very much, I think it is because he likes the coolness of opals very much, so he has a soft spot for this gem!"
I thought about it, maybe it was.
"Brother Ming, why don't we kill that Komodo dragon and get all the opals to our cave!
"Please, now there are only Ji Bo and us on this island mountain, who shall we sell it back to?Xiao Nizi?" I sighed.
"Mengling is still going to forget it~ If there is really a chance to go home, let's look for it again~ Now we don't have a suitable way to deal with this big lizard~" Luo Shijing touched Tian Mengling's head and said.
I put the few remaining pebbles in my pocket, and although they were few, I could see that the three girls were very happy, and I could take them back and make them small gifts.
This trip is different from the last time I went around the island, after all, the last time it was purely to find out the geography, and this time it was to explore the hidden dangers of the island.
I took Luo Shijing and her three daughters back the same way, and after swimming across the stream, Ye Wan'er and Luo Shijing said that they wanted to pick some chili peppers and ginger.
"I don't think it's okay, the peppers are really enough. "When I heard that they were going to pick chili peppers, the corners of my mouth twitched.
When I think about the spiciness of that chili, I have a little headache, and that feeling is really good, and once I accidentally ate the chili skin in my mouth, and I rinsed my mouth by the stream for nearly an hour.
"Don't worry, we're just picking some ginger, this thing is good for us women~" Ye Wan'er said with a smile.
I was relieved.
After crossing the creek and entering the bushes, there are some low bushes here, and there are really no such towering trees, Ye Wan'er and Luo Shijing drilled in front for a while before coming to the place they said before.
There are indeed a lot of ginger seedlings growing on this spacious ground, and the three daughters of Luo Shijing are very happy, so they throw the line aside and start digging ginger.
I walked around the neighborhood when I had nothing to do, and a good bird was calling in a small tree not far away, so I walked over.
Looking at the noisy birds in the trees, I thought that bird meat was also a good food, so I put my shotgun on the ground and lay on the branches with my bare hands.
Not surprisingly, in the corner of this branch, there was a large bird's nest, and a few eggs lay in the nest, but there were no adult birds in the nest.
I'm ready to touch two of them, and they're sure to be as tasty as an emu egg.
I took the bird's eggs, and I went back to pick up some seafood or something later, and today is not empty-handed.
I haven't touched the branch yet, and my feet slipped and almost didn't fall off the tree, and his grandmother's was not ordinary slippery.
Just as I was about to make a move, the other birds in the tree suddenly flew away.
yes? It's really weird, I'm such a big living person who can't be afraid to climb up, why did they all fly away all of a sudden?
And when I looked up again, I didn't dare to move anymore!
