Chapter 298: Cremation Diamond (I)
"Wouldn't it be naΓ―ve to want to use a night to find such an ethereal clue!" I frowned.
Zeng Yaru covered my forehead with her hand and said with a smile, "Ah Ye, I often frown, it won't take long to become a little old man!" β
"It seems that you are not in a bad mood, where is the fear just now?" I snorted.
"I want you to care, this girl is bold and ambitious, how can she be afraid of such vulgar emotions." She pouted and began to look around, "Ah Ye, was that note really taken out of Ouyang Jianhua's esophagus?" β
"Not bad. There's no reason why my cousin would lie to me. I turned my head and asked, "Have you ever seen that necklace?" β
"Of course I did." Zeng Yaru recalled, "Five-carat diamonds, openwork chains. It's really beautiful. The most special thing is the diamond, which has a faint blue glow all over its body. It's as if there's a whole new world inside, and as long as you look at it, its shadow will always be reflected in your mind, and you can't forget it.
I remember that the necklace was delivered to my sister by courier, and my sister had heard of its legend, but she was just an ordinary girl who loved beauty, and she struggled all night, and still wore it around her neck the next morning. β
"It seems that women really don't have any resistance to diamonds, so dangerous things only need to struggle for a night and wear them without fear of death. I really don't know how to describe it. I sighed.
"Ah Ye, you're not a girl, of course you won't know the psychology of girls. Such a beautiful thing, as long as it is a female creature, I am afraid that there is no way to resist it. What's more, there are a lot of dangerous jewels in this world, but they still don't lack owners. Zeng Yaru tilted her head disdainfully, "For example, the black diamond called the [Eye of the Creator], it is said that everyone who owns it has committed suicide by jumping off the building, but there are still many people who would rather go bankrupt in order to have it. Do you think they're all crazy? β
TheEyeofBrahma, the black diamond of the so-called "Eye of the Creator", I have heard of this name. Legend has it that the eyes of the Hindu god Brahma (the god of creation) in Pundicheeli, India, were removed by a monk and left out. It is said that since then, the person who held the black diamond was cursed, and coincidentally, all three previous holders ended up committing suicide by jumping off the building. The three can be traced back to the 18th-century Russian princesses Nadia and Leonira, who are rumored to have committed suicide in 1947; Paris, a New York-based jeweler who imported the diamond to the United States, also committed suicide by jumping off a building shortly after the black diamond was sold.
The Eye of the Creator, also known as Black Oloff, is rumored to be unverifiable, but it has become a famous diamond in the jewelry industry because of this heritage. The Eye of the Creator was originally 195 carats when it was removed from the statue, but it was divided into three pieces in order to break the curse of the legend, and it was collected by private collectors until 1990, when it was reproduced at auction in New York.
It is said that the owner of the black diamond after it was split into three pieces escaped the curse. The current owner, Pedi Mesas, said, "In the 20th century, the media called it the Evil Death Gem, but I never felt nervous about owning Black Orlov. He added that over the past year he has tried his best to find out the history and legends about the gem, "and I am confident that the curse has been broken." β
But who knows if the curse is really broken?
A portion of this diamond was shown in London last year and weighs 67. 5 carats. The legend brought by Black Orloff highlights the power of diamonds to capture people's imagination for millennia, and the beauty and evil of the gem add to the exhibition's viewability, the exhibit's organizers said.
At that time, there were indeed many wealthy women who asked to buy this world-famous diamond through open or covert means, and even went bankrupt. At that time, I used to marvel at women's desire to buy and their dedication to diamonds. Think about it, even if those rich women clearly knew that the diamond would kill them, I am afraid that they would also calmly wear it around their necks, call a photographer to take a picture, and then wait for death.
And isn't the attraction of the five-carat blue diamond necklace to a woman a copy of the [Creator's Eye]?
I still had a feeling of incomprehension, and I shook my head boredly, and thought for a while before asking, "Do you know what that blue diamond is made of?" β
"Of course, I know that I have been in the chemical sciences. It just so happened that I was a good student and remembered a little. Zeng Yaru coughed, and said in the voice of the little old man who taught chemistry and spitting everywhere, "The so-called diamond is the hardest and simplest gemstone in the world, it is a natural crystal with a cubic structure composed of carbon elements.
Carbon crystallizes into precious diamonds at high temperatures, pressures and reducing environments, commonly known as oxygen-deficient environments. While it is theorized that diamonds can be formed at various times and stages in Earth's history, most of the mines that are currently mined have mainly formed 300 million years ago and between 12 and 1.7 billion years ago. The formation of a diamond takes a long time. So diamond-loving ladies, what you love madly is just the filthy garbage that comes out of your body! β
After saying that, she seemed to have found a laugh point and laughed. For some reason, since she entered the old school building, her mental state has not been stable, and she is very happy and sad, and her mood is really a little confusing to me. Although she usually can't see anything normal, but now, it's definitely not normal.
I stared at her and said slowly, "Do you know about a company called Lifegem in the United States?" β
She shook her head in confusion, not knowing what I was trying to tell her.
"It's not a well-known company. A few years ago, they developed a technique for synthetic diamonds. This technology extracts carbon from ashes to synthesize blue or yellow diamonds. I hope that this is a way to remember the deceased. Replace the gray and cold urn with the eternity of brilliant diamonds. β
Zeng Yaru's eyes widened in disbelief, her whole body trembled with fright, and she said in a dry tone for a long time, "You don't want to say that the diamond was extracted from someone's ashes, right?" β
"Unfortunately, you guessed it!" I nodded, "I recognized the diamond from the first time I saw it, but I didn't have time to tell anyone." β
"So, whose ashes are they?" She covered her mouth in surprise.
