Chapter 266 [Organic Gems]
Moving things to the truck, Yang Nianzhong breathed a sigh of relief, and after completing all the finishing work, the garbage station where all the wooden shelves were discarded felt safer.
Then he drove the truck to the gate of the storage company, paid all the fees for his auction warehouse with his deposit, and after exchanging the supporting documents, he returned to the underground parking lot of the hotel with a smoke.
The conductor drove the truck to the underground parking lot, a 90-degree corner in the innermost, and then parked his RV on the side of the truck, blocking the truck with his tall body.
In this way, when everyone was busy in the truck, the people outside could not see, and this was not to be considered for the sake of insurance, John's cousin personally went to the rear part of the car to monitor the surrounding movements.
Because the second-hand truck bought by Yang Nianzhong John was modified, the battery power is very high, and it has its own lighting system, and after turning on the lighting system, the inside of the carriage becomes like daylight. Then everyone got started, opened all these large and small leather boxes, took out all the animal teeth inside, and then put them neatly on the shelves.
The first time Yang Nianzhong saw those things with teeth, he got the answer after a query on the Internet, it turned out to be the tusks of the walrus, and the tusks of the walrus are also a kind of organic gemstones.
This thing even had a mythical name in ancient China, that is, it is called a horn, which is a kind of horn that grows on the head of a dragon, but it is actually the tooth of a walrus with teeth.
It was very popular in ancient China, and the price was no worse than snow-white ivory, most of which were 50 centimeters to one meter long. The thickness varies, the coarse ones may be male walrus tusks, and the thinner ones may be female walrus tusks, that is, there are no baby walrus tusks.
According to the grade, all of them should be first-class, all of them are more than 80 centimeters to one meter in length, and some are even more than one meter, although there are rough furrows on the teeth. But there are no scratches, which are caused by the growth of the teeth themselves, not by man-made damage, so there is no possibility of letting others lower the price when they are sold.
In this way, there are a total of 120 walrus teeth, which is not a lot, but all the grades are the best, so the price should be similar, and there are some curved teeth with a white end and a brownish-yellow enamel cover. I didn't know this after checking the Internet, no wonder the hippopotamus teeth are so unique, I didn't expect the hippopotamus teeth to be a category of organic gemstones, it's really a long insight.
The hippopotamus teeth appear in pairs, with basically the same size, length and curvature, and there are 80 of them, which means that 40 hippopotamus teeth are collinear. This is basically the same as walrus tusks in an even number, they all appear in pairs, don't look at the teeth of these hippos, there is a layer of yellow-brown dirt.
But the texture, hardness and density of hippopotamus teeth are much better than walrus ivory, and the color is more beautiful. Hippopotamus teeth are particularly poisonous, the price of texture is not worse than ivory, and the production is not much, it is reasonable to say that it should be more precious, so its price should be above walrus ivory.
The third organic gem that appears is actually ivory, these tusks are not ordinary ivory, but serious African ivory, these ivory are carefully cut, and the length can basically reach about one meter.
At the thick end of the ivory, there is a small circle of enamel that is empty, and this small circle of enamel cavity is actually the smallest area, and a small finger can't poke it in, and some don't even have enamel.
This means that the tusks are finely cut, and the original end of the ivory is disposed of, and what is left is the essence of the ivory. And each one is milky white, which looks more delicate than walrus ivory cream, so ivory is the most expensive organic gemstone.
There are 80 such good tusks in total, and the weight of each one is very scary, the thinnest tusks are as thick as an adult's arm, and some are even as thick as thighs, and people with little strength can't move them. And these African ivory are calculated according to the weight, don't look at the only 80 tusks, but the weight is definitely more than a few hundred kilograms, so the price is not expensive.
Is that the end of it? Big mistake, didn't Yang Nianzhong find some long pine poles split in half from the middle from the warehouse? The pine poles are hollowed out in the middle, and the sides are fastened with aluminum bars.
When a discerning person sees that there is something inside these pines, after opening the aluminum bars at both ends, the pine poles will automatically break in half, and the things that appear inside make everyone gasp.
What's in there? An animal tooth more than five meters long appeared, and the strangest thing was that the tooth was actually in a counterclockwise shape.
The shortest one can reach four meters, and the longest can even reach five meters, and the texture is very tight, but if you look closely, you will see that these tusks are arranged with small holes, like hair roots.
Such a long thing, if the top is particularly sharp, if you poke the human body, you can stab one at once, and there are many ways to say this thing from ancient times to the present.
Ancient Europeans believed that this tooth was the horn on the head of the unicorn, which would not only bring good luck to the owner, but also have the function of detecting poison and prolonging people's life.
And in ancient times, the price of these teeth was ten times that of gold, and even in modern times its price is quite terrifying, what is this long tooth? The tusks of narwhals, only male narwhals, grow tusks.
Most of them have one tooth, otherwise they can't be called a narwhal, of course, there are a few whales with two teeth, that's too few and too few, and a small number of female whales will also have teeth.
From ancient times to the present, the narwhal is an animal that has been targeted by greedy humans, because its teeth are too valuable, holding the teeth of the narwhal and running in front of the kings of those big countries. Giving your treasure can even get a nobleman's title and fief, get a lot of money, and a narwhal tooth is all the guarantee to make a fortune, who doesn't blush when you see it.
Of course, with the development of society and the development of the Arctic route, the horn of the narwhal will no longer be mistaken for the horn of a unicorn and fall off the altar, but its preciousness still makes those princes and nobles rush to it.
He did not hesitate to spend a lot of money to buy these teeth, for example, Ivan the Terrible of Russia, how famous, the founder of the Russian Empire, he had a scepter carved from a narwhal.
This single horn was called an artifact in ancient Europe, and now Yang Nianzhong actually found that there were 22 horns of narwhals hidden in the pine pole, and the horns of 22 intact narwhals from head to tail.
It took a total of two hours, and Yang Nianzhong and John led the talents to sort out all the teeth of these animals and finish the inventory, and everyone felt that their hearts were like 25 mice jumping up and down in them, and they couldn't calm down when they scratched their hearts.
