Chapter 1152 Topaz

As soon as Huang Shan spoke, he saw a stone shining with colorful light appear in front of his eyes, he picked it up and looked at it, this must be a gem!

Huang Shan shouted like this, and Han Peacock's attention was all attracted by him.

Han Peacock was the fastest, and he first took over a pebble in Huang Shan's hand.

Han Peacock was immediately happy when he saw it, transparent and glassy, but when he looked at it seriously, he was disappointed: "This is a piece of crystal." ”

"Huh?" Huang Shan's face was full of disappointment.

Wei Changqing took the stone, looked at it carefully, and said while looking at him: "Haven't you heard of crystals on the Gobi?" Especially here. ”

Qian Mingyuan opened his mouth and said: "There are Gobi crystals, there are also desert crystals, here what needs to be distinguished from the gem light is that Gobi topaz and Gobi crystal, when the gem light is loved by everyone, some topaz and colorless crystals on the Gobi are also fried up because of the beautiful and transparent quality, which is mistaken for gem light.

But the truth is that beauty is not always collectible, crystals have been beautiful and fascinating since ancient times, but their production is so high that they have always been relegated to the half-treasure, and Topaz is also classified as a low-grade gemstone because of its huge production.

Distinguish topaz from gem light from the appearance, topaz is transparent, and gem light is translucent even if it is colorless gem light, topaz is also known as topaz, its hardness is 8, and gem light as chalcedony seed material, hardness is 6.8-7.2, as well as density and other aspects of difference.

The best gem light, it has both the warmth of jade, and the brilliance of gemstones, compared with other strange stones, more investment value and appreciation space, rather than investing in white jade, jadeite and other jewelry at a high price, it is better to take advantage of the current price is generally low when the timely position. The rate of return will be equally valuable. ”

This is Han Peacock also spoke: "The gem light is much more beautiful than this, today I will try to find a few so that you can all see it." ”

The gemstone light is crystal clear, moist and lovely, and the beauty is enchanting and warm, without carving. has already earned enough eyeballs, even people who don't understand stones at all see it, and they immediately fall in love with it and admire it.

So seeing Han Peacock's fanaticism, Qian Mingyuan and Gu Tong were no exceptions.

They have seen the gem light, so they know the beauty of the gem light, the gem light was born in the vast Gobi, and they have never been here, and they have not personally picked up the gem light here. I won't believe that under the scorching sun and wind, there is such a stunner! No wonder people seem to be "crazy" to follow her tracks!

The people who pursue it may not all pursue the "jewel light" with the dream of making a fortune, but more people are out of the heartfelt love for the "jewel light", and once they find it, they will love it like a jewel. Ren doesn't change any amount of money.

At this time, Zhao Dongke also came over. He also held a stone in his hand, which seemed to be very similar to the one found in Huangshan.

"Is this piece of mine also a Gobi crystal?" Zhao Dongke asked, he was familiar with jade, but crystal was not very knowledgeable.

"Huh! This piece is topaz, and it looks like it's a superb. You're in luck. Qian Mingyuan took the stone with a smile on his face and took it in his hand to examine it carefully.

Their luck is indeed good, they have just come over, and they have gained one after another, although it is not a jewel light. It's not Gobi jade, but it's good to have a harvest, after all, none of these people here are here to get rich.

"Topaz? I've heard you say just now, is topaz crystal? Huang Shan asked.

Han Peacock said with a smile: "Topaz is also a crystal, an island-like structure silicate mineral, also known as citrine, an orthorhombic (orthorhombic) crystal system, the crystal is usually short columnar, and there are often longitudinal lines on the cylinder.

It can also be irregular granular or block-like, with a variety of colors, some colorless and transparent, mostly light yellow, burgundy yellow, light blue, light green, light rose red, brown, etc., the color can gradually decrease after long-term exposure to sunlight, glass luster, complete cleavage on the bottom surface, Mohs hardness 8, belonging to topaz.

Topaz is a typical gas-forming hydrothermal mineral, formed at high temperatures and with volatile components, produced in granitic pegmatites, geodes of acid volcanic rocks, dolomites and high-temperature hydrothermal tungsten-tin-quartz veins.

In the industry, it is used for grinding materials and bearings for precision instruments, and the transparent color is a high-grade gemstone raw material, Brazil is the world's high-quality topaz production area, and the Russian Urals and Pakistan's Catelon produce rose red topaz containing Cr3+.

China, Mongolia, Jiangsu, and West also have topaz output, which is produced in Brazil, Sri Lanka, the United States, and China, because the output is very large, so the price is not high, but this jade is also very beautiful. ”

The one that can be found in Zhaodong is a pale yellow topaz, slightly transparent, and the columnar crystals can be clearly seen, which is a typical yellow topaz.

"The texture is good, keep it well!" After reading it, Gu Tong agreed with Han Peacock's identification very much.

Qian Mingyuan said with a smile: "In recent years, this kind of topaz has also been fried, and I heard that it is very popular with young people nowadays. ”

"I know this, topaz symbolizes abundance and piety, the color is mostly light yellow to dark yellow, this topaz is topaz, the English name is Topaz, the English name is Topaz, the English name comes from two theories: one is derived from the old name of a small island in the Red Sea 'Topaz', the other is derived from the Sanskrit word TOPUS, which means 'fire', this very exotic name seems to have told the mystery of this gemstone, which is just able to attract young people today." Wei Changqing said.

"This thing is topaz? We've dug up a lot of them in the East China Sea, haven't we heard that this thing is very valuable? At this time, Huangshan was a little abrupt.

Han Peacock smiled and said: "Our one is different from this, topaz is also divided into many kinds, the mineralogical name of this topaz is topaz, also known as topaz, it is a simple ore, and ours is a bit like a fossil, which is a kind of chalcedony." ”

"This internal structure is not very delicate!" Huangshan took this piece of topaz and looked at the sun carefully, although the refracted light was very beautiful, but the texture inside it looked very rough.

Han Peacock said disdainfully: "Topaz is a watery aluminosilicate mineral, and the aggregate form is columnar, granular, and lumpy, if it looks very delicate, it is not topaz, but glass." ”

"And what's going on with this light? Doesn't it look so pretty? Huang Shan looked at the color of this topaz, and his expression was a little intoxicated.

Qian Mingyuan said: "Under the irradiation of long and short-wave ultraviolet rays, various colors of topaz show different fluorescence, so it is very beautiful, according to the color, it can generally be divided into burgundy yellow, colorless, blue, green, red topaz.

Among them, the superior dark yellow is the most precious, the more yellow the color, the better, followed by blue, green and red, this one emits a fluorescence is wine yellow, it is a superb, but unfortunately the production of this gemstone is too high, it can never be sold at a high price, otherwise, just such a one, it is a great harvest. ”

"Isn't such a beautiful gem worth anything?" Huang Shan and Wei Changqing's two bodyguards were a little incredulous.

Wei Changqing said: "I also deal in all kinds of topaz in my store, and the purchase channels are very wide, both domestic and foreign, this is because topaz is produced all over the world, and the most important gem-quality topaz is Minas Gerais, Brazil, where topaz has yellow, deep pear yellow, pink, blue and colorless.

Sri Lanka is also an important source, with its topaz predominantly blue, green and colorless, and blue and yellow topaz from California, USA.

A large number of colorless topaz in China's Guangzhou, Dong, Xin, Xinjiang, Yunnan, South and other real estate can be turned into beautiful sky blue by neutron radiation, electron accelerator bombardment, Co60 irradiation and heating.

It is worth noting that the topaz that changes color by neutron radiation will have a certain degree of radioactivity, and it needs to be placed for a certain period of time (such as more than half a year) before it can be used as a decorative gemstone, otherwise it will cause some harm to the human body. ”

"Keep it up! This gemstone is not only our Oriental like, Westerners also agree, many countries in the world set topaz as the 'November birthstone', is a symbol of friendship, friendship and friendship, which can be very important, so, although the production of topaz is high, but the audience is also wide, maybe it will also increase rapidly in the future. Gu Tongdao.

Wei Changqing nodded and said: "In the eyes of Westerners, topaz can be worn as a talisman, which can ward off evil spirits and exorcise demons, make people eliminate sorrow and enhance confidence, so many Westerners will also wear topaz, and jadeite and jade, generally Westerners do not accept it, just like we Easterners don't like diamonds very much." ”

Qian Mingyuan said with a smile: "If it is effective, soaking wine with topaz powder can treat asthma, insomnia, burns and bleeding, so it has a lot of effects." ”

A few people talked about the characteristics of topaz, and they didn't forget to continue looking, especially Han Peacock, his magic power is almost useless here, because there are too many broken stones on the ground, and he can't sense what the texture inside each stone is like one by one, so he can only observe it with his eyes.

Next, Wei Changqing first found a piece of golden silk jade, although the quality was not very good, he finally opened it.

After Wei Changqing, Gu Tong and Qian Mingyuan also found several pieces of Gobi jade, some colorless and some other colors, like yellow and red.

Both of them have lived here for a long time, so they are very experienced, and they can quickly distinguish which ones are jade and those are ordinary stones among the many stones, but Han Peacock is not good, they tend to be dazzled.

"It's too hard." After walking for more than an hour, Huangshan did not gain the slightest, so he gave up first.

His responsibility is the safety of Han Peacock, he was not a vigilance in the first place, but now he simply gave up treasure hunting and was only responsible for vigilance.

Qian Mingyuan said not far away: "Didn't Lao Gu just say that the price of topaz is going to rise?" He is not talking nonsense, from our harvest today, it can be seen that even topaz has become very scarce now, and things are scarce and expensive, and there are fewer things, and the price will increase for sure.
