Chapter 468: Black Treasure Green Meteorite
However, whether it is Zheng He's fleet to the West, or the Yongle Imperial Gift, or simply other origins, as long as the seven words "Huagai Palace" are still there, this plum vase is extraordinary.
Even if the identity of the Huagai Hall can be confirmed, its value will definitely be comparable to the plum vase auctioned in 11 years!
After the appraisal was completed, Li Yi began to maintain the plum bottle.
Under normal circumstances, after Hailao porcelain is out of the water, due to long-term seawater immersion and the existence of gelatinous substances secreted by marine organisms, the surface layer of its enamel will basically be destroyed, resulting in a dull glaze.
Even if it is cleaned, these glue-containing substances will still exist in some bubbles produced after the glaze layer is destroyed, so a layer of glue will still be attached to the glaze surface to cover the glaze.
Compared with the above situation, this plum vase may be due to the good sealing of the wooden box, so although the glaze is also a little dark, the damage is not serious. Li Yi estimates that after a period of thorough cleaning and maintenance, it should be able to restore more than 90% of its style!
Under normal circumstances, first soak in water containing 1% oxalic acid for one day, then soak in washing powder water for one day, and then clean it with fresh water, you can remove most of the impurities on its glaze.
After that, you often rub the glaze surface of the utensils with your hands to wipe off some of the accumulated dirt on the glaze, and after a period of time, the glaze of the utensils will gradually recover.
Li Yi, a solution containing 1% oxalic acid, had already been prepared, but now the ship was still at sea, undulating, and if it was soaked, it might cause the plum bottle to be damaged by a collision, so he just cleaned it briefly and put it away.
However, compared to the plum vase, the fragments of those porcelain are more troublesome. Because the carcass of the porcelain itself is rich in bubbles, and these porcelain pieces have been soaked in seawater for hundreds of years, some substances in the seawater have long been deeply involved in these bubbles, and they cannot be completely removed.
With the help of Lu Ningshuang and others, after cleaning all the impurities on the surface of all the porcelain tiles, Li Yi decided to leave it alone for the time being.
After returning to the hotel and soaking it in oxalic acid water and laundry detergent water, he was ready to let the fat elephant return to Beijing with the plum vase and these porcelain pieces first, and hand them over to Chang Huaizhi, and then Chang Lao would naturally go to Ma Lao to deal with it.
After being busy for more than an hour, everything was stopped, Lu Ningshuang proposed to go to the place where she caught the sea cucumber yesterday to see, she hadn't had enough fun.
After 20 minutes of boating, they rushed to the sea area where they found the sea cucumber yesterday, and were ready to stop, Gu Feng, Li Yi, and Lu Ningshuang went into the water.
The water depth in this area is less than 20 meters, and the water is gentle, so the marine life is very diverse.
Li Yi went around the bottom of the water yesterday and didn't find anything valuable, so when he got out of the water this time, he changed to another slightly deeper sea area.
Colorful little fish kept swimming past him, and some of them were still around him, constantly touching his body with their lips, not afraid of people at all.
All kinds of seaweed are like dancers that never stop, making all kinds of strange movements as the sea fluctuates.
The world under the sea is peaceful and beautiful, and with his arrival, a certain area will suddenly become lively, and when he leaves, this one will slowly return to its original state.
Because of the discovery of the wooden box, Li Yi remembered the piece of dog's head gold found in Hainan last time. So now, for any stone, or whether it is a stone or not, as long as it is a large object that he does not know, he will first use the spirit identification tablet to identify it.
Pushing aside a piece of seaweed, Li Yi found that there was a big black stone buried in the sandy ground below, so he habitually went up and touched it lightly with his hand.
Unexpectedly, with the opening of the spirit identification card, a cold air flow suddenly poured into his palm, and its coldness was no less than that of the best glass species!
What is it?
Li Yi was startled, his eyes quickly swept over the appraisal conclusion, and then, his eyes widened suddenly, this luck ...... A black treasure green meteorite would be found in such a place! And it's so big, it's more than 3,700 grams!
Since the last time a glass meteorite was found in the basket of the little girl in Myanmar, Li Yi has paid special attention to the collection of meteorites.
At present, in the international market, the more expensive meteorites are meteorites from the moon and Mars, with an average price of about 1,000 US dollars per gram, equivalent to about 6,500 yuan of soft sister coins.
In addition, there are very cheap desert meteorites, because of their high degree of weathering, so they can generally only be sold for a single-digit unit price, and it is difficult to exceed 3 yuan. Of course, if there are many witnesses at the time of the drop, the price will skyrocket to 40 to 50 yuan per gram.
In addition to these two extremes, the price of many meteorites, including glass meteorites, is somewhere in between.
But just like there are bluefin tuna and yellow-lipped fish in fish, there will also be some outliers in meteorites, and their prices are often like yellow-lipped fish, far higher than those of other meteorites.
This kind of meteorite, the most famous is the Night Pearl meteorite, it is said that its unit price is as high as 100,000 soft girl coins per gram, and there is no market.
And the other is the black treasure green meteorite that Li Yi has discovered now, although its price is not as scary as the night pearl meteorite, but it is also precious enough, among which the unit price per gram is more than 30,000 yuan for those in good condition!
The black treasure green meteorite is an iron meteorite, which generally contains 80% iron, and also contains 8% nickel, 5% copper and some other substances.
The facets of this meteorite are almost as bright as those of pure iron. Its surface is often distributed with silvery flakes and has a very strong magnetic properties. Moreover, its molten crust characteristics are particularly obvious, as if the rock is wrapped in a layer of black-green mud, so it is also called the black treasure green meteorite.
The number of black treasure green meteorites is very rare, accounting for less than 1c/o of the total number of meteorites. At present, most of the black treasure green meteorites in the world were found near Tashan in Taipei, a novelty in Huaxia Xinjiang, but I didn't expect that there would be them in this sea area!
The spirit card shows that the weight of this black treasure green meteorite is 3752 grams, so it is obviously not the big reef he saw in front of him, but it must be near the big reef, and it is also close to the big reef!
The part of the sand exposed on the big reef is only about a quarter of a square meter, Li Yi cleaned up the seaweed nearby, but after opening the spirit card and going around the big reef, he couldn't help but smile bitterly, it seems that it is not so easy to get rich!
Li Yi can see through the distance of just 50 centimeters now, however, he has not found the black treasure green meteorite in the range he can see, which can only show that this meteorite is buried very deeply.
In fact, it doesn't matter how deep you bury it, it's just a little more effort. But now it's too bad, you can't see it, you can't locate it, and if you want to dig it, you have to dig around this big reef!
Dig a circle......
Li Yi smiled bitterly, in fact, it was nothing to dig around, but how to explain it to Xiaolu and them? Even if it's a false excuse to say that you saw an eel or something, but that can only be excavated in a directional way, is there an excuse to say that the eel drilled around the big reef in the sand?
Unable to do anything, Li Yi decided to clean up the floating sand on the surface first, maybe with luck, he could see it just a few centimeters?
was hesitating, and suddenly saw Lu Ningshuang not far away gesturing at him, he should have found something but didn't dare to make a move.
Swam over to take a look, and sure enough, Lu Ningshuang actually found a sea cucumber in the seaweed pile again, although it was not as big as yesterday's, but its body length was close to 30 centimeters!
This sea cucumber, with its flesh whirring, is covered with short meat thorns, and it looks no different from an enlarged version of a caterpillar, not to mention that Lu Ningshuang didn't dare to start, even Li Yi also felt a little weak.
There are a total of 1,100 species of sea cucumbers in the world, of which only about 40 species are edible in the waters near China, and their nutritional value is not the same.
Li Yi first touched it lightly with his hand, and after confirming that it was an edible sea cucumber, he took the fish basket that Lu Ningshuang was carrying, gritted his teeth, and threw the sea cucumber into it.
Lu Ningshuang made a proud grimace at him, and then took advantage of his inattention, kicked him with his foot, and swam quickly towards a short distance, while Li Yi smiled bitterly and picked up a stone that had just been found under the sea cucumber and activated the spirit identification card.
There is no cooling.
I was about to throw the stone away, when I suddenly accidentally glanced at the identification conclusion, and I was stunned in place.
Looking back at the distance between here and the place where he found the black green treasure meteorite just now, Li Yi's heart seemed to have tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of divine beasts galloping by, trampling his fragile heart to pieces!
Your sister, you can detect it from a distance of seven or eight meters, are you preparing to trap Lao Tzu to death?
It turned out that this meteorite was the one he had just discovered!
The reason why this was happening, seven or eight meters away from the place where he felt the cool air, was because the big reef next to the black green treasure meteorite was a long strip with a large cone-shaped bulge growing at each end. What Li Yi saw just now was only the bulge at one end, and this side, it was another bulge!
The height of these two protrusions is close to one meter, so in fact, almost all of the main body of this big reef is buried under the sand at a distance of nearly 70 centimeters, fortunately he did not start digging, otherwise even if he dug it out, it is estimated that he will be to death!
Looking at the meteorite in his hand, Li Yi was surprised to find that it didn't seem to have much rust on the surface, and there weren't too many sea creatures attached to it, and even the slippery feeling was only because it was very smooth itself, not because of the gum in the sea creatures like other stones in the seawater.
What does this mean?
This means that the meteorite has just fallen into the sea not long ago!
Li Yi's gaze slowly swept from the surrounding seawater, and the heavens and men were at war in his heart, looking for it, or not looking for it?
PS: I want to go out for a few hours, and if I come back, I can code it out, and if I can't get out, I'll make up for it tomorrow! Ask for a commuter pass! (To be continued.) )
