A complete hanging of 108 pearls, or the top of the old pit glass imperial green jade, the size of each is almost the same, "Buddha head tower", "back cloud", "big falling corner", "small falling corner" is not lacking, plus the silk is bright yellow, three strings of "commemoration" two strings on the right and one string on the left is for women to wear. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The real masters of such a pearl can only be: Yehenara clan, Cixi Duanyou, Kang Yizhao, Yu Zhuang Chengshou, Gongqin, Chongxi Empress Dowager!

In addition, I heard Nicole say just now that the yuan holder of the beads also brought out two funny gem watermelons, so the source of this string of Laokeng Emperor Green Jade Dynasty Beads should be Botuo Yuding Dongling, the underground palace of Cixi Lafayette!

How dare you let a child wear such an object?

Crush you to death!

"The guy who deals in stocks is very funny, and he took out two large watermelons made of whole gems for appreciation, saying that he traded them from a friend..."

As soon as Nicole said it, Zhang Nan understood: they were two gem watermelons, and this plate of Chaozhu was taken out by a financial investment nouveau riche to be funny.

Oh, the façade.

That salon is where New York's wealthy people mingle and display their jewelry, both modern and old, and it lasts for two days.

The things are placed there, and you can buy them if you like them, and what Nicole took out was, of course, the high-end jewelry of the "Star Group".

The owner doesn't have to stay in the salon all the time, there are salon organizers who act as middlemen.

"Can't open at night? leave those two watermelons behind!"

Zhang Nan is not in such a hurry for a while!

Nicole's phone was on the sidelines, and she immediately called.

"Madeleine, I'm Nicole, and those two big watermelons are still there?... Okay, stay, I'll come over later, I'm a little interested in my family. ”

As soon as he hung up the phone, "It's still there, the organizers will suspend the communication of the big watermelon." ”

Needless to say, after dinner, I took a group of bodyguards and a group of curious women to swarm towards New York City.

Anyway, people who didn't have an invitation to that salon couldn't get in at all, and even Adjani who wanted to do the event went with him, which was lively enough.

Talking about the matter of the Chinese Qing Dynasty Chaozhu and the Dongling thief Sun Dianying who ransacked Qianlong Yuling and Cixi Putuo Yuding Dongling in the car, everyone understood why Zhang Nan was in such a hurry and why children couldn't wear it.

The treasure stolen from the coffin of the Empress Dowager, and I heard Zhang Nan say that the corpse was not rotten when the coffin was opened, similar to a zombie, Chaozhu was either hung on the neck of the corpse or put aside, it was terrifying for Nicole and the others!

For Zhang Nan, the horror is not enough, it is the object taken out of the coffin with the luck of the Chinese emperor, don't put it on your body if you can.

Foreign ones don't count, it doesn't matter what pharaoh's dagger, Hitler's pistol, Napoleon's watch, one is that the West does not pay attention to this, the other is that some are not taken out of the grave, and the third Zhang Nan is not familiar with Western superstition.

Grandpa Tai said it well, hit all cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods!

Lao Tzu believes in Sanqing Tianzun and the Buddha who lives in China, and he is really not familiar with the outside.

Roaring to the Fifth Avenue where the salon is located, as soon as Zhang Nan entered the salon, before the organizer in his 40s stepped forward to receive him, Zhang Nan swept left and right and saw two large watermelons placed on a table.

Good recognition!

I stepped forward and saw that there were two small labels on it: tourmaline watermelon, a pair of $500,000, a single $300,000.

Tourmaline, a mid-range gemstone, is the price of such a large one in the eyes of Americans.

Another label is handwritten: Booked.

"Nicole, how much did the beads cost?"

"$500,000, the ruby on top is quite expensive. ”

I forgot to ask just now.

Is ruby expensive?

It's quite expensive!

But compared with the Empress Dowager Cixi's beloved Laokeng glass imperial green pearl...

Ordinary rubies are really not comparable!

I got to know Lady Madeleine, who welcomed everyone, and although I could see that she looked at Adjani with a slightly different look, it was all polite and courteous to treat everyone equally.

The quality is very high, and it can make everyone feel like a spring breeze.

After politely looking at the watermelon - the size of an ordinary watermelon, round and cute.

Originally, there was a light on, the melon skin was green, green, with dark green stripes, and through the light, you could faintly see the black melon seeds and red melon pulp in the melon, which were round and abnormal to the touch.

Roundness is not only the reason for polishing, but also the precipitation of years by polishing alone.

Signaling to turn off the lights on the table, Zhang Nan used the flashlight he was carrying to look at the internal structure of the big watermelon, and then used his magnifying glass to check the melon body and the connection part of the melon.

It's nice to have a slight look at the wheel traces – not a traditional grinding wheel, a mechanical grinding wheel.

Modern workers?

No, a small number of modern emery wheels entered China more than 100 years ago, but they were used relatively rarely. Although the gear prints on these two large watermelons are parallel diamond wheel prints, they are not as "connected as the city" like the current grinding wheel prints, but are parallel and a little crooked at the same time, and the strength is not "uniform", with a slight difference in weight.

Zhang Nan had seen such traces several times in his previous life, all of which were old jade pieces from the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China - the reason for this is that the grinding wheel was imported, but it did not use stable electric or steam power, and it still used a traditional Chinese foot pedal roulette wheel

The surface of the two watermelons still has the luster formed by being touched by people for at least a few decades, and with these almost invisible grinding wheel marks on the guati, it goes without saying that these two watermelons are objects from the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China.

If you add this grade of tourmaline to be made into two watermelons, then 100% are the two at the foot of Cixi in the coffin - there is also a theory that there are 4 jade watermelons in Cixi's coffin, two white-skinned yellow-seeded powdered pulps, and two green-skinned white-seeded yellow gourds, worth 6 million taels of silver!

It doesn't matter if there are one or two in the coffin, at least the two in front of you can't be wrong!

Xiang Weirong saw Zhang Nan straighten up and asked in dialect: "Why is the jade watermelon of the Empress Dowager Cixi written on tourmaline?"

Xiang Nan said with a smile: "It is rumored to be a jade watermelon, but in fact, it should be tourmaline, if the color of the watermelon can be made in the whole jadeite material, no piece of it can meet the requirements in the seventy or eighty years after the Qing Dynasty, even the worst in the field has not appeared."

Even if there is, it is impossible for that old witch in Cixi to like two shit watermelons, I always thought that the one put in the coffin should be a tourmaline watermelon. Tourmaline has many colors, like this green plus red, green on the periphery, red in the center, originally like a watermelon, now it is called watermelon tourmaline.

Li Lianying's nephew wrote a record in the "Aiyuexuan Notes": When the Empress Dowager Cixi was buried, there was a jade watermelon on the left and right sides of her feet, green skin, red flesh, white seeds, and black silk, which was worth about 2.2 million taels of silver.

The raw materials of this jadeite watermelon have always been different, and now many people think that it should be the top two-color combination tourmaline imported from the United States, which is the green-skinned and red-fleshed watermelon tourmaline..."

As he spoke, he patted the two large watermelons, "Now I can be sure, it's tourmaline!"

The origin areas of Chinese tourmaline include Keketuohai in Altay region, Fugong, Yuanyang, Gongshan, Baoshan and other places in Yunnan Province, as well as Wulatezhongqi Jiaoligetai and other places in Inner Mongolia.

There are still many people who know that Brazilian tourmaline is the best quality tourmaline in the world, but even the vast majority of Americans today don't know that California was once the main source of top-quality tourmaline!

Moreover, the tourmaline deposits mined in the United States decades ago have been weathered, and a large amount of lepidolite albite pegmatites in the veins have weathered into mud.

There are basically no rocks in the veins, so the original method of mining tourmaline deposits in the United States was mainly excavation, which was easier than mining tourmaline in other production areas.

But in the last 70 years, tourmaline mines in the United States have not been mined at all, and Americans themselves have almost forgotten that California has the world's top tourmaline mines!

The reason for this is because of the Empress Dowager Cixi!

California's tourmaline mines are almost supported by the Empress Dowager Lafayette alone, up and down, Cixi's preference drove the love of tourmaline among the upper class of Chinese people in the late Qing Dynasty, and most of the high-quality tourmaline is imported from the United States.

In China, the word "tourmaline" first appeared in the Qing Dynasty, and during the reign of Cixi, the quantity and quality of tourmaline used by the Qing Dynasty royal family reached the peak of Chinese history!

According to the tourmaline trade records of the San Diego Museum of Natural History in the United States, from the second year after the Gengzi Incident, that is, from 1902 to 1908, the Empress Dowager Cixi would ask the palace office to purchase more than ten tons of tourmaline in the United States almost every year, of which pink tourmaline was the mainstay.

By the overthrow of the Qing Dynasty in 1911, the Manchu government's total purchase of tourmaline in the United States had reached 120 tons!

This is still the amount of palace purchases, as for the officials and wealthy merchants imported through compradors, it is difficult to estimate, the estimate has been changed and not small, but the best is basically in the hands of the royal family.

Later, due to the death of the Qing Dynasty, the tourmaline of the Ibaraya mine in California, USA, lost its main Chinese market, and the tourmaline was unsalable, and the mine was forced to close.

Zhang Nan will recall that it was not until the beginning of the 21st century that the tourmaline mines in California were redeveloped.

You can take it away by signing it, and you don't have to worry about paying the money with one hand and taking the goods with the other. The two large watermelons also have a wooden box for storage, which can be carried away.

Each has more than 20 kilograms, and it is not easy to take it when the strength is small.

It's not a problem, the giants Mark Callaway and Thomas Jacob are carrying a box by themselves, and they don't feel the weight of the injured things.

It's okay to lift two for one person, but then you won't be able to pull out a gun.

Please ask Madeleine to contact the original owner of the big watermelon tomorrow and ask if there are any similar special jewelry, and say that she is more interested here.

There is no need to set up a set, everyone has an identity, and they are willing to sell and buy.

What if you really still have a treasure and don't want to sell it?

Besides, depending on what it is, it will all be intended to let the "united forces" find out the roots of the other party.

In the car, Zhang Nan opened the box and continued to look at the big watermelon, the more he looked at it, the more pleasing it became.

Seeing this virtue, Adjani beside her smiled and said, "Are you going to sleep with your arms?"

"Don't be funny, don't dare to see the things in the coffin, I'm afraid that I will dream of meeting the Queen Mother Lafayette. ”

The joke stopped, but Nicole who was sitting opposite him asked if the object he had obtained by chance this time was a top-notch treasure.

"Two watermelons. Hehe, priceless, I can't say, that plate of jade pearls is at least thirty or five million dollars. ”
