Gems are all-encompassing.

It is subdivided into several categories: crystal, jadeite, pearl, treasure, coral, nephrite, agate, and stone, and there are many other types of structures under these sub-categories that are called gemstones.

In the gemstone family, all colored gemstones are called colored gemstones.

The biggest feature of colored gemstones is that they have natural colors, red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, purple, all colors in nature can be found in gemstones, and the beauty of the colors contained in gemstones is beyond the reach of any other material and artificial methods (such as photography and painting).

Generally speaking, the international gemstone industry divides colored gemstones into two categories: "precious stones" and "semi-precious stones" according to their value.

Traditionally recognized "precious stones" include: rubies, sapphires, emeralds, cat's eyes, etc. These four gemstones, along with diamonds, are known as the "five rarest gemstones of the world".

Gemstones commonly referred to as "semi-precious stones" include: amethyst, citrine, topaz, tourmaline, aquamarine, garnet, peridot, obsidian, morganite, tanzanite, zircon, lapis lazuli, prehnite, moonstone, coral, opal, ammolliash, apatite, and many more.

The most common colored gemstones include crystal, agate, tourmaline, amber, etc., which are favored by many because of their inexpensive and good decoration.

The most valuable colored gemstones, such as rubies, sapphires, emeralds, cat's eyes, etc., are listed as the world's five rare gemstones along with diamonds, and are loved by high-end consumers and collectors.

As with diamonds, the weight of colored gemstones such as "precious stones" can also be calculated in carats (also known as cards).

Under the illumination of the strong flashlight, the emerald stone that had just been returned to Gu Hongyu's hand partially emitted a charming light, and everyone's eyes were deeply attracted by it.

"It's so beautiful, if only I could pick it up!" Liang Qinghui muttered, his stunned appearance almost drooling from the corners of his mouth.

Others are not much better, Gu Lin said from a professional point of view: "It seems that this gem raw material is about 1.5 kilograms, if you open the rough stone, you can take out at least one kilogram of emerald gemstones, so far such a large piece of top emerald gemstones can be called the world's first!" ”

"I'm almost dazzled, if this gem is made into an ornament and ornament, it will be worth even more, Hongyu, I know a professional in this area, or I will introduce you to a master to ensure that this gem is worth the money." Sun Chao, who had not spoken much, spoke at this time.

"Hongyu's luck is really against the sky, no, I have to look carefully in the creek, maybe there are other lost gems in this creek!" Chen Ming turned his head, and the bright light of the flashlight also pointed at the stream.

A word wakes up the dreamer.

Since Gu Hongyu was able to find this priceless treasure in the stream, it must indicate that there are gems distributed in the upper reaches of the stream, and another possibility is that the cave where they are located contains gem deposits.

Acting separately, even Chen Luofeng is not exempt from vulgarity.

No one will get along with money, if you find a gem like the one Gu Hongyu picked up, it will be hundreds of millions of yuan, and if you don't feel moved, you are simply not a human being living on the earth.

Tacitly divided their respective treasure exploration fields, Gu Hongyu just picked up the location of the gem raw materials has been divided by everyone, got such a piece of gem Gu Hongyu did not compete with everyone anymore, slowly walked to a platform in the creek, and looked at the busy people in the creek.

Perhaps there are storage of crystals and other minerals around this stream, and soon Luo Yu, who doesn't say much, picks up a stone larger than Gu Hongyu, which also emits beautiful refraction when the flashlight shines on it.

"Damn, Luo Yu, is this guy unlucky." Liang Qinghui looked for a while and didn't find it, so he lost his patience, and immediately ran over after looking at the situation on Luo Yu's side.

With him taking the lead, the rest of the people also surrounded him.

The stone in Luo Yu's hand is transparent in color, and it looks like a piece of special-shaped glass, which is indeed much larger than Gu Hongyu's, and if it is an ordinary stone, I am afraid it will weigh five catties.

"What color is this?" Liang Qinghui fully carried forward the spirit of asking questions if he didn't understand.

"Of course it's transparent, I've never seen jadeite and there is a colorless and transparent one, no one liked this level of jadeite before, but due to the scarcity of jadeite raw materials, colorless and transparent jadeite immediately aroused the popularity of mainstream people, and the price has risen all the way, such a large gem is probably not much more valuable than Xiaogu's piece, right?" It was Chen Ming who spoke, and he was also half-witted about this, and now he also wanted to show off in front of everyone.

However, Gu Lin and Chen Luofeng came over and looked at the stone in Luo Yu's hand, but shook their heads.

Liang Qinghui, who discovered this situation, couldn't help asking: "Brother Feng, Gu Lin, why are you all shaking your heads, such a big stone is almost twice as big as Hongyu's, just now you said that his is already a priceless treasure, isn't this piece worth more?" ”

"Hehe, gems don't just rely on size to win!" Gulin smiled.

Chen Luofeng continued: "Besides, what you said is still based on gemstones. ”

"Why, such a beautiful stone is not a gem?"

"So what is this......

"How much is this thing worth?"

“……”

"Let's talk about it!" Chen Luofeng said with a smile at Gu Lin.

Gu Lin didn't shirk it and immediately solved everyone's doubts: "Who told you that this is a gem, this stone is just a crystal, or the most ordinary transparent colorless crystal." ”

"Alas, make me happy for Luo Yu in vain, and the result is a crystal!" Liang Qinghui immediately changed his words.

"That's it, I said, how can those rare gems appear so easily!" Chen Ming actually echoed and said.

Luo Yu's face also looked very regretful, he thought that he would come and run from time to time, but he didn't want to pick up the Xibei goods at all, and he lost face in front of everyone, holding the crystal in both hands and planning to throw it into the stream again.

Chen Luofeng immediately stopped him: "What are you throwing away, although this thing is a very ordinary crystal, but the permeability is also good, and the size is quite large, although this piece is not very valuable, but tens of thousands of yuan is still worth it, you just threw it away?" ”

"Ah, this crystal is also worth tens of thousands?" Liang Qinghui, who was leaving, immediately turned around and said in surprise.

"Who told you to be impatient, although crystals are common, but they are not divided into quality, this crystal is really good to make an ornament, and it is not impossible to do 100,000 yuan!" Gu Lin struck Liang Qinghui again.

"I'll go for it, in that case, I'll look for it in the stream!" After speaking, Liang Qinghui hurriedly returned to the creek field he was in charge of again.

Soon, shouts rang out from the creek.

Many people have found beautiful stones, large and small, but all of them are not too big, the largest one is less than a pound, and the smallest one is only slightly larger than a thumb.

After Gu Lin and Chen Luofeng identified the stones that were picked up, most of them were crystals, and they were basically colorless transparent crystals, or Luo Yu was lucky, and he found a bright yellow ~ color crystal again, although the volume was only the size of a baby's fist, but the value was not lower than the first one he found.

"Haha, I found a piece too!" Liang Qinghui can be regarded as holding back his strength in the stream, and his fellow caving companions have found more or less gems and crystals, and he is the only one who has not yet opened his beard!

"Lao Liang, it's not like you're dazzled and treats ordinary stones as crystal gems!" Gu Lin said jokingly.

"Take it and I'll give it to you quietly first, so that you won't be hit again!" Chen Ming offered to give him an appraisal.

In Liang Qinghui's expectant gaze, Chen Ming suddenly shouted: "Damn, this is actually a ruby, you all come and take a look!" ”

Many people rushed over when they heard the news, Chen Luofeng took the gem in Chen Ming's hand and observed it carefully, nodded after a while and said: "This is really a ruby, but the quality is a little worse, so I have to say that luck is not bad!" ”

"How much is it worth?" Liang Qinghui should want to know this most now.

Everyone laughed good-naturedly.

Chen Luofeng coughed and said slowly: "This piece is just a rough ruby, if it is solved, it may only be the size of a matchbox, according to the quality of this ruby, a carat is at most 300 yuan, and it can be sold for tens of thousands!" ”

"It's tens of thousands, it's not bad, it's not bad, someone was still mocking it just now, and he only picked up a few ordinary crystals as an appraisal master......"

A passage returned all the blows that Gu Lin had just dealt with, although Gu Lin had a certain ability to appreciate treasures, he was still pressing, and at this moment he couldn't help but avoid it for the time being, and lowered his head to look for it in his field.

Immediately afterwards, everyone found beautiful stones in the river one after another, although many of them were crystals, and everyone was not discouraged, because everyone believed that there would be gems in the stream, and they were lying quietly under the creek waiting for people to find them.

Gu Hongyu held the emerald gemstone in his hand and did not go into the water to look for it with the others, thinking that these boys were just curious that they would stop and continue to explore the cave after a short time, but they never thought that these people also had an innocent and childlike side, and they had been lying in the stream for more than half an hour and never came out.

There seemed to be no danger in the river, and several people took off their slightly clumsy protective suits to facilitate their activities in the water.

"Hongyu, what are you doing standing there, come down and look for it again, you have the best luck here, maybe you can find more precious gems!" Liang Qinghui has found a gem and is now full of confidence.

The others also said: "Hongyu, hurry down, we are embarrassed to continue while you stand!" ”

"That's it, how boring it is to be alone, come down and bring me some good luck with us!"

At the mention of everyone, Gu Hongyu was suddenly moved, and he had already walked towards the stream on one of his legs. R1152
