Kowloon is also a spectator, looking at the novelty, this Tibetan stone is both a fossil and a strange stone, the two are so harmoniously unified together, it is rare, no wonder the old playboy wants to take himself to see, it is worth the trip.

Of course, Kowloon is not satisfied with visiting, he is here to Taobao, not to be a bystander, he hopes that he can also find good things.

So, he asked the old boy where he could find the goods.

The old playboy scratched his scalp: "To tell the truth, this mine crystal really wants to find treasure, it's too difficult, it's not like water stone, it's everywhere, it's not like dry stone, the Gobi Desert can be picked up, it's more in the mine, this mine, some of them have been developed into tourist attractions, who dares to touch it, and most of the mine caves have been contracted, ordinary people can't get in at all, or, you go to Chenzhou, Hunan to see it, it is known as the 'capital of ore crystals', you go and try your luck." ”

Since this is the case, Kowloon will not be embarrassed by the old boy, so he will say goodbye to the old naughty boy and thank him for his hospitality.

The old boy asked his subordinates to take them back to Guiyang Longdongbao Airport, and then take a plane from here to Changsha Huanghua Airport, and then take an express train from Changsha to Chenzhou.

When he arrived in Chenzhou, Kowloon found a local female stone friend named Cai Xiaodie according to a business card given to him by an old boy.

She had a big ponytail on her head, spoke softly, was very nice, had a slender figure, and was only in her early thirties.

During the dinner of the two of Jiulong, she told the two of them that they had come to the right place, and she herself had just played with the mineral crystal, and she gave an introduction to the situation of the mineral crystal here.

Chenzhou, located in the south of Hunan, is the most concentrated and typical mineral resource agglomeration area in Hunan.

Chenzhou is located in the polymetallic metallogenic zone of the Nanling Mountains, rich in mineral resources, with many types of minerals, large reserves, wide distribution, good quality characteristics, known as the "World Nonferrous Metals Museum", "China's ornamental stone mineral crystal capital" reputation.

At present, 112 kinds of minerals and 150 mineral fields have been discovered in Chenzhou.

There are 46 kinds of minerals with proven reserves, including tungsten, molybdenum, bismuth, tin, lead, zinc, graphite, coal, fluorite, etc.

Among them, the reserves of tungsten and bismuth rank first in the world, the reserves of molybdenum rank first in the country, the reserves of tin and zinc rank second and fourth in the country, the reserves of microcrystalline graphite account for 70% of the world's reserves, and the associated fluorite reserves account for 50% of the country.

Some people say that if you dig a random mine in Chenzhou, you will dig out hundreds of millions of years of natural treasures.

With its unique geological conditions and abundant mineral resources, Chenzhou is rich in all kinds of mineral crystals and mineral stones with great ornamental value, and is the largest producer of mineral crystals in China, with mineral crystal reserves of 1.32 million cubic meters that can be mined.

These mineral crystals are most prominent in non-ferrous metals such as tungsten, tin, bismuth, lead, zinc, copper and non-metallic mineral crystals such as calcite, fluorite, crystal, dolomite, etc., among which the most distinctive ones are fragrant stone, calcite, Tongtian jade, colorful stone, etc.

There is a "national treasure" in Chenzhou, called Xianghua Stone.

Fluttershy said that Xianghuashi is mainly distributed in the Xianghualing tin mining area of Linwu County, Chenzhou, and is symbiotic with fluorite, lithium beryllium stone, beryllium magnesia, cassiterite, scheelite, etc., which is a unique new mineral crystal in the world and is known as a "national treasure".

In recent years, relying on the advantages of rich mineral crystal resources, Chenzhou strives to transform resource advantages into industrial advantages, and takes the ornamental stone industry as the key cultivation and development of the cultural tourism industry, and has built the "Chenzhou Strange Stone Museum", "Chenzhou Stone Expo Park", "Strange Stone Street" in the city center, etc., and takes the "Mineral Crystal Capital of China" as the cultural business card of Chenzhou, and vigorously supports the healthy development of the ornamental stone industry.

At present, there are more than 200,000 employees in the city's ornamental stone production and marketing industry, which is a good place for mineral gem research and collection enthusiasts to find and trade.

After listening to her introduction, Jiulong found a hotel with He Gang to stay in, and made an appointment to go to Taobao the next day.

At half past eight the next morning, Fluttershy drove her Citroen Sega to pick up the two of them to visit a place.

She said that since she has come to the "mining capital", she can't miss Chenzhou's unique industrial and mining tourist attraction - Hunan Baoshan National Mine Park.

The park is located in the suburbs of Guiyang County, Chenzhou, with a core scenic area of 1.48 square kilometers, which is a characteristic tourist attraction with ancient mining sites and modern mining sites as the core landscape and mining and metallurgical history and culture as the theme.

There are rare open-pit single mining areas in China, relatively modern shafts of Zhongnan nonferrous mines, the world's largest bronze coin theme sculpture, Fortune Avenue, colorful malachite underground, crystal clear ice crystal needles, very exciting mine exploration and 3D movies, and many old holes left over from ancient times are a long mining history of Baoshan for thousands of years.

Cai Xiaodie said proudly: "This attraction is not open to the public yet, you are considered to be the first to get there, how about it, not bad." ”

"Yes, where is the mineral crystal market here? ”

"Many of the treasures of China's mineral and crystal museums come from our Chenzhou. ”

Cai Xiaodie responded with a smile: "There are mineral crystals with great ornamental value in Chenzhou on the market, mainly wolframite, scheelite, molybdenite, pyrite, mirror iron, chalcopyrite, azurite, malachite, galena, sphalerite, natural gold, fragrant stone, fluorite, calcite, crystal, quartz, barite, beryl, dolomite, aragonite, etc.

With the development of the mineral crystal industry and the rise of the collection fever, Chenzhou has formed a new type of strange stone cultural market integrating production, supply, marketing, appreciation and collection.

"Wait a minute, I'll take you to the stone market to see, the city has more than 500 ornamental stone venues, including 3 official museums with an area of more than 10,000 square meters, and more than 50 private large museums.

"Among them, the 'Chenzhou Strange Stone Exhibition Hall' has become the country's largest high-end exhibition venue based on mineral crystals, and the 'Dongjiang Lake Strange Stone Museum', 'East China Treasure Museum', 'Lingshixuan Strange Stone Museum', 'Zhong Lingxiu', 'Four Saints Strange Stone Museum', 'Houfu Crystal Pavilion', 'Xueran Mineral Gem Museum' and other venues also attract a lot of guests every year. ”

Cai Xiaodie took the two of them to the Jinqi Mineral Collection on Qishi Street in Houfu, Chenzhou, where precious gems of different sizes and shapes are displayed.

The more than 300 treasures in this museum belong to He Bingrong alone.

He Bingrong is the current vice president of the Chenzhou Stone Association, and he first came into contact with minerals, crystals and gems in 1993, which is the first group of people in the country to "play with stones".

By chance, he realized that "mineral crystals" were a natural treasure trove, that is, after He Bingrong contracted the Xianghualing tin mine, the mine once dug out some stones, he didn't think it was worth much at the time, until three geologists from Changsha approached him and offered to buy these stones at a price of 5,000 yuan per ton, he slowly noticed it.

"5,000 in the 90s was not a small amount. ”

He Bingrong said that at that time he rejected the geologist's offer, and later the geologist offered to buy two yuan from him for 3,000 yuan.
