There was nothing to say all night, and everyone slept soundly, which was also thanks to the blessing of Shenluo, although Zhang Tianyuan felt that those jade pickers were very honest, but after all, they now had more than one million jade, in case someone couldn't resist the temptation to attack them, it would be too late to regret it.

So at night, Zhang Tianyuan still asked Shinra to keep watch outside.

Fortunately, nothing happened, which also made him breathe a sigh of relief.

The next day, Alpha was left in the camp to guard the jade, and for the sake of safety, Zhang Tianyuan also specially left the Shinra behind, and he went out to look for minerals with One-Eyed, Gulzana, Ismail Yi and Kun Zhou.

Today, it is not for jade mining, but for mineral prospecting, so Zhang Tianyuan directly started the word search and word appreciation trick, and went upstream along the river, as long as there is mountain material, it will become very easy to find jade mines.

Of course, with cheats, this game is not much fun to play, yesterday he tasted some fun of fishing jade, but today he is no longer interested, quickly found the jade mine, contracting down is the important thing, now Shihezigou only has Kurban's ore vein, no one else has come in, he can find the best ore vein.

Because of this, Zhang Tianyuan quickly had a harvest, although it was not a jade mine, it is certain that these jade stones should have been exposed from the mountain due to a flood or mountain collapse that had occurred here.

The jade was buried deep in the dirt and gravel, and it looked very beautiful, and he was almost certain that there were definitely jade veins in the vicinity, and it was estimated that there were quite a few. This is definitely quite a luxury jade mine.

He laboriously threw a piece of jade out of the dirt, which was as red as blood and as green as emerald. Green as horns, white as silver, black as ink, purple as xia, miscellaneous as color. Yellow as gold!

"Is this the legendary colorful jade?" Zhang Tianyuan was stunned for a moment, he had never heard of this kind of jade being produced in Hejiang, it stands to reason that this should be a specialty of Luodian.

There is a colorful jade inscription that is very interesting - the mountain is not high, the treasure is famous, the water is not deep, and the stone is spiritual. Luodian, a remote place in central Guizhou, cut the red water river in case. Out of the treasure, said colorful jade. It is a Cambrian jet rock and a chalcedony of basalt. It is pearlescent and full of treasure. Zerun glass. Play seven colors, change ten colors, and be confusing. Red is blood, green is like emerald, colorful, yellow is gold, white is like silver, and ten colors compete for brilliance. Occupy the spirit of heaven and earth, seize the breath of mountains and rivers, and it is extremely wonderful. Attracting the fame of China and provoking the admiration of China, who is the match?

This is the colorful jade!

Colorful jade is actually also called strange colored jade, which is a siliceous bedrock. It is a basalt magma erupted by a precambrian submarine volcano, which is formed by interweaving and metamorphism at high temperature and high pressure. Therefore, colorful jade is hard, generally above 6.2 degrees on the Mohs scale. The best can reach 7.0 degrees. The silicidization of the stone is extremely high, five bright and six colors, and colorful. All kinds of patterns are natural. This is obvious to all. Stone contains a variety of mineral chemical components, each of which evolves into a certain color.

Of course. There are many factors that produce different colors, such as rocks in the metamorphic process. It can gradually interweave and evolve from primary colors, inherited colors, self-generated colors, and secondary colors to various colors. But one thing is for sure, the quality and color of colorful jade are unique.

Although this kind of jade is called colorful jade, in fact, the color of the stone is far more than seven colors, as far as the colorful jade "red as blood" is concerned, in fact, it is divided into cinnabar red, heavy jujube red, chicken blood red, rose red, mille-feuille red, etc., the color is bright and beautiful, the appreciation is eye-catching and pleasant, the touch is delicate as skin, and its special crystal structure can be observed on the magnifying glass.

Zhang Tianyuan had read some books about jade, and the e-book in his mobile phone had this information, but Luodian's specialty was actually found in Hejiang, which made him feel a little surprised.

It can be imagined that thousands of years ago, there were people wearing linen cloth and animal skins, carrying Luodian colorful jade, crossing the snow-capped mountains and meadows, and enduring the cold winter and heat to arrive here.

At that time, it was an extremely prominent Kunlun jade processing and distribution center. After some of the jade material remained, the rest spread to the Central Plains. Later, an unprecedented catastrophe completely submerged the glorious prehistoric civilization, and the colorful jade that had not had time to be processed was also buried here.

He put the jade stone on the ground, and then dropped a few drops of water on the jade flesh, and found that these drops of water were like dew drops, which confirmed his speculation that this was really colorful jade.

This method is called the water identification method, that is, a drop of water is dropped on the jade, such as a dewdrop that does not disperse for a long time, the real jade; the water droplet quickly disappears is a fake and shoddy product.

He threw this strange piece of jade into his back basket, and then continued to walk forward, along the way, he found more than twenty pieces of jade in the cracks of the stone and in the soil, some big and some small, but this did not make him excited, what made him most excited was that he felt that he was getting closer and closer to the location of the jade vein.

"Consultant Zhang, what are you doing, we seem to have found the jade vein. In the distance, One-Eye shouted loudly.

As soon as Zhang Tianyuan heard that he had found the jade vein, he hurriedly ran to the place they said, although he was carrying a basket of jade on his back, but he was really not slow.

Seeing the colorful jade in Zhang Tianyuan's back basket, One-Eyed and the others were simply dumbfounded, it was only less than an hour, this is simply a god, this is not worse than Kurban.

"I said Advisor Zhang, you wouldn't have discovered the Jade Cave, would you?" asked One-Eye.

"No, when I first came here, I thought to myself, maybe this place was also a river in the past, or there was a flood, there was a mudslide, is there a jade buried in the ground? Zhang Tianyuan explained.

"So that's the case, a reader is a reader, and we elm heads can't think of this kind of thing even if we think about it for a few years. Sima Yi sighed, patted his head and said, his current attitude towards Zhang Tianyuan is similar to his attitude towards Kurban, he feels that this young man is really too godly.

"What about the quality of the jade?" asked One-Eye.

"What do you see?" Zhang Tianyuan asked rhetorically.

"Consultant Zhang, don't sell it, where do we know this. It's okay to take a look, but ask for a specific way to identify it. That's not going to work. Ismail shook his head and said.

"Actually, whether this jade is good or not, you can judge from two aspects. That's one of them. A good Hetian jade, its specific standards are: one is to 'body like clotted fat', the second is to be 'fine light and inner connotation', the third is to be 'thick and warm', the fourth is to be hard and fine, with these four elements is a good jade; If the appearance is not delicate and warm, it is inferior jade. ”

"I've heard there's a difference in color, right?" One-Eye said, scratching his head.

"You're on the point. The second is to look at the color, Hetian jade because of the different colors, there are white jade, topaz, green jade, jasper, black jade, generally speaking, in the case of the same or similar texture, white jade is expensive, topaz is second. And the value of green jade and green and white jade is lower. However, the color is not as prominent as jadeite for Hetian jade, and the color of jadeite is a little different, and the value is tens of thousands, while Hetian jade mainly depends on the texture. Unless it is mutton fat white jade, the general color difference will not have a small impact. But in any case, color is one of the criteria for identifying the advantages and disadvantages of Hetian jade. Even if it is the same white jade, it depends on the Cheng dù and purity of the white. If the white is blue or gray, it will affect the value of the jade. Zhang Tianyuan gave a thumbs up to the one-eyed man.

"So it is. The jade you picked up doesn't seem to be particularly good. One-Eye said.

"Well, these more than 20 pieces of jade are a little worse than the two pieces we picked up last night, but they are better than the quantity, so if you count them, they can be worth four or five hundred thousand!

"Oh, that's right, we think this mountain is probably a jade vein, there are exposed jade blocks outside! And I've heard a thing, the mountain in that story is a bit like this, so I thought it might be a jade vein. One-Eye explained.

"What's the story?" asked Zhang Tianyuan with interest.

In January 1992, Golmud mobilized the whole people to go to the mountains to prospect for minerals, and formulated a set of incentive policies. On the fifth day of the first lunar month, Darcy, the chief official of Golmud, took his son Xuhui and his friend Bali to climb the Kunlun Mountains to prospect for minerals.

Darcy and his entourage of five drove their Beijing 212 jeep to Wanbaogou, which was more than 100 kilometers away from Golmud. At around 3 p.m., they found a lot of turquoise stones on the slopes of the mountain that they had never seen before, and brought back a piece of greenstone of dozens of kilograms. The magical stone aroused their great curiosity, and two days later, the group of four people came to the Jade Maiden Peak again, this time it took them more than 3 hours to climb to the top. They were stunned by a peculiar sight: white and turquoise jade shoots and jade blocks everywhere. A jade mine that had been buried by time for hundreds of millions of years was discovered......" One-Eye recalled.

"Oh, I've heard this story too, but is our luck that good?" Zhang Tianyuan said, but he didn't sit idle, but activated the word appreciation technique, and began to explore the things inside this mountain by using perspective and investigation.

It didn't matter what he saw, but it was a joy to his eyes, in that huge rock formation, almost every other place, there would be one or two pieces of natural jade inlaid in the stone layer, although it was almost integrated with other stones, but it could be clearly distinguished.

"It's really a jade vein!" Zhang Tianyuan was taken aback, he didn't expect that these people were really capable, they were worthy of being old jade pickers, and they really found the jade vein, and his hard work in the past few days was finally not in vain.

Thinking of this, he swallowed his saliva excitedly, rubbed his eyes, and looked around, this is really the more he looks, the more surprised he becomes, with his current earth qi realm, where his eyes can reach, in just this moment, he has already seen how many more than a dozen pieces of jade are four or five meters high and two or three meters wide, and from the analysis of the exposed jade flesh, the quality of these jade will definitely not be bad.

At present, there are more than 20 Hetian jade deposits that have been discovered and mined in Hejiang. Most of these mines are located in high mountainous areas above 4,000 meters above sea level, and the transportation is very inconvenient. One of the most famous is the Xinjiang Almas Jade Mine, where the mountains are high and the roads are dangerous, and the snow and ice are crystal clear in the shade of the mountain peaks, and the cold is pressing.

In addition to producing Hetian white jade mountain materials, Almas has recently discovered a large reserve of serpentine deposits here. In the past, it was believed that serpentine was mainly produced in Ningliao Xiuyan, but Hotan was rare. But the discovery of this vein explains a lot of things, the most important of which is that it has great economic value for development.

In fact, Shihezigou is very close to Almas, to be precise, it should belong to the same mountain range. (To be continued......)
