Chapter 419: Top Pigeon Blood Red
It's an undeveloped deposit, which is why there are so many rubies. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
In fact, if you look at the primitive mining methods outside, you can see how low their work efficiency is.
As long as Mo Ye drove the screw propelled car over and crushed the ore wrapped in the rubies, he could easily collect all the rubies, and most importantly, Mo Ye could see the distribution of the rubies, so everything he did was more targeted.
Of course, this is not only a problem of a mining area, but all mining areas are doing this kind of work without any scientific and technological content, and they can only try their luck when mining.
If you're unlucky, maybe he's in your hands, but you're missing a pigeon's blood ruby because it's wrapped in a thin layer of mud and sand.
Mo Ye, who has a super biodetector, is different, as long as he enters within a thousand meters of him, it is impossible for any tiny ruby to escape the scanning of the super biodetector, so there will be no omission.
You can see it, and you can find the exact location, so it's not too cool to collect rubies.
"Huh? Such a large area, there is no trace of mining at all? Adjusting the direction of the spiral propulsion vehicle, Mo Xie soon discovered the unexpected joy.
There is no trace of excavation in this entire dirt mountain, which is very rare in this mining area.
"That's the amount!" Just after a little analysis of the data obtained from the scanning, Mo Ye was a little dumbfounded, this mining area actually has so many rubies.
"So that's the case on the ground, right?" Looking at the gems that shimmered red, Mo Ye immediately thought of the ground before it was mined.
Mo Ye didn't know about other places, he knew that this situation had happened in the land of Qilu in China.
It is said that many years ago, in the area of Chang @ Lefang Mountain, the old man herding sheep picked up an angular, hard, deep blue and bright stone in the ravine, and used it to rub the fire sickle to light a cigarette, they called it blue flint.
Children who swim in the river in the summer have picked up gems the size of eggs, and they throw the blue stones to the bottom of the water, and then they try to touch them, and finally they can't touch them.
Because of the ignorance of sapphires, in the 80s of the last century, outsiders "plundered" a large number of Changle sapphires with excellent quality by mining or purchasing them at a low price.
So how much was plundered? Mo Ye once heard a legend that some jewelry merchants at that time, including southerners and foreigners, all chartered planes to transport sapphires.
Why charter a plane, because this plane is all loaded with sapphires, and the most famous guy, who pulled forty tons of sapphires from there at once.
What is this concept? Sapphires are all tons, and forty tons are pulled away at one time.
Originally, Mo Ye didn't believe in such a legend, but now that he saw the distribution of sapphires in the underground ore layer, Mo Ye believed that the gem mines that had not been mined once contained in them were really too many gems.
"Pink rubies, look so beautiful!" Picking up a pink ruby, Mo Ye couldn't help but be amazed.
This ruby, pink in color, reveals mystery, atmosphere, and depth, especially without processing, it is round and jade, just like a pink bead.
Whoever sees such a ruby will also like it.
Carefully put away, Mo Xie controlled the spiral propulsion vehicle, slowly mining the surrounding gem mines.
The density of gemstones here is not low, so naturally it cannot be drilled without scruples.
The ore layer is three-dimensional, and one careless ruby may injure the ruby.
Therefore, Mo Xie deliberately planned the mining route, striving to put away all the gem mines without damage.
"Isn't this a ruby mine? How are there more lilac gemstones? "After just mining for a while, Mo Ye found that the number of rubies here is not too much, and the most of them are lilac gemstones.
"Mogok rubies are mostly slightly lavender?" Mo Ye only knew at this time that not all rubies were red, just like sapphires, and not all sapphires were blue.
Here, Mo Ye focuses on the beautiful color of rubies, especially the pure red red like the red of the traffic light.
"Hey, this ruby is so beautiful? It's like a pigeon's eyes, so it's not pigeon's blood red, right? ”
Collecting a superb gem, Mo Xie was overjoyed, this may be the second pigeon blood red he had seen, but the first one was too small, only the size of a grain of rice, and there was no value in mining at all.
Therefore, this piece should be the first piece of pigeon blood red in Mo Ye's hand, this pigeon blood red is bright red, but it is not dull, the color is like the blood of a pigeon, of course, it is also the same as the color of the eyes of a live pigeon.
Maybe that's why this ruby is called pigeon's blood red, right?
"Pigeon's blood" describes the rich and vivid color of rubies, like pigeon's blood, which is recognized as the most beautiful color of rubies.
Because usually rubies have dichroism, generally rubies will appear purple-red or pink, it is not easy to achieve pigeon's blood red, the current ruby produced in Myanmar and Mozambique can reach the level of pigeon blood, rare and precious, and the yield is very low.
Therefore, even if Mo Ye was in the gem mining area, he did not see a few pieces of pigeon blood red, but this gem Mo Ye looked unclean, as if there were a lot of impurities inside.
"It's the best pigeon blood, but how does it feel a bit out of place?" Mo Ye was a little puzzled.
This piece of top pigeon blood looks very "unclean" inside, which makes Mo Ye a little hesitant.
However, he also knew that ruby crystals from Mogok have characteristic inclusions, such as "syrup" and colorless crystal inclusions.
There are these inclusions so that there is a feeling of "burning".
"Syrup" refers to the red color that spreads throughout the gemstone like a syrup stirred in water, like a flame.
Well, many colorless crystal inclusions are like flickering bits of fire in a flame.
Mo Xie turned off the lights inside the car, took out a spotlight, and shone it on this gem, at this time, Mo Ye immediately found that the ruby in his hand immediately seemed to be burning, this is the feeling of burning.
It is to see this brilliant red light, Mo Xie can be sure that this is the top pigeon blood red, because Mo Xie knows that the top pigeon blood rubies are placed in the dark room and illuminated with spotlights, and the gems seem to burn, which is the top pigeon blood red.
In the trading market, there are always many merchants who claim that the rubies they sell are pigeon's blood red, but in fact there are very few real pigeon blood red, thinking that the definition of pigeon blood red is very strict.
There are almost strict regulations for his color, clarity, hue, and color saturation.
In fact, most rubies on the market are heat-treated, and the industry also accepts rubies heat-treated.
If consumers are "non-burning", want to pursue rubies without heat treatment, and want to have high color quality, then they must pay more out of their pockets.
Generally speaking, the value of heat-treated rubies does not depreciate, but gemstones that have not been heat-treated and are of excellent color are naturally more valuable.
In general, the international market price of small particles of pigeon blood red is about 2-30,000 US dollars per carat, and it is almost impossible to find it in ordinary stores or channels.
Therefore, Mo Ye, who likes to collect, can only find a few pigeon blood red in the ruby mining area.
With the first one, there must be a second one, and Mo Ye is still full of confidence in this.
"The color of these rubies is darker than pigeon's blood!" I collected a lot of rubies again, but there was no red as bright and lively as pigeon's blood red.
At this time, the several rubies in Mo Xie's hands were much darker in color than pigeon's blood.
"This is royal red? It's also very good! After observing it carefully for a while, Mo Ye was happy.
The royal red is deeper than the pigeon's blood red, the royal red is like the color of red dates, it is slightly darker than the pigeon's blood red, and it is called rabbit blood red in Myanmar.
Compared to pigeon's blood, this type of ruby has less red fluorescent and blue, but this type of red is deeper and purer.
In this area, lilac rubies are the most abundant, followed by this royal red, followed by pink.
Just now, Mo Xie had already obtained a superb pink gem, and now, he had obtained several pink gems that were slightly bluish-red, and this kind of gem was called hot pink.
Hot pink gemstones can be divided into either sapphire and ruby, and the main reason for this color is that the gemstone contains more chromium than iron, resulting in more blue, and the red is slightly blue.
Hot pink gemstones are found in countries around the Himalayas (such as Myanmar, Tajikistan, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Nepal, Vietnam, Yunnan in China) or in parts of East Africa (such as Mozambique and Tanzania).
As more and more gems were mined, Mo Ye found that there were only a few colors, such as peach, pink, crimson, pigeon's blood red, light red, purple red, blue red, and so on.
Some of the differences in the color of these gems are very small, if it weren't for Mo Ye's sensitivity to color, he really couldn't tell the color of these gemstones.
Ten, hundred, thousand, ten thousand, a piece of ore more than 1,000 meters long, more than 400 meters wide, and more than 40 meters thick, after Mo Ye spent half a month, it was finally excavated.
At this time, Mo Xie was about to vomit when he dug up the gems, and he drilled in this dark underground every day, no matter who it was, as long as it was a long time, there would be a psychological shadow.
Fortunately, the current super biological detector is powerful, and it can rush out of the ground and connect to external signals, so that Mo Ye can connect to the Internet and make phone calls, otherwise, just being lonely can make him crazy.
