However, Li Xiaofeng swam so far today, his purpose at the beginning was really not for these white corals, these white corals can only be regarded as an unexpected gain from his trip, and now he has decided to give up, they can't be regarded as harvests! He came here for a shellfish that lives under the corals in this area.

Let's try it soon, everyone. 】

It was precisely because he had found this shellfish on the map before that he swam so far.

This shellfish is called penguin shellfish, and it is a shellfish that grows in tropical and subtropical seas. Of course, Li Xiaofeng came here, not because of how valuable this shellfish is, but because this shellfish is a kind of mother-of-pearl.

Penguin oysters are a very warm and watery pearl oyster, which requires a high temperature of the seawater, and generally the water temperature is below 10 degrees, which will cause them to die. They also have poor adaptation to salinity, and a drop in specific gravity to 1.015 can also cause them to die.

Despite the fact that the penguin oyster is so delicate, it does not at all detract from the fact that it is an excellent mother-of-pearl oyster.

Penguin shells produce pearls with larger particles and better quality, and the delicate texture will reflect a soft luster, giving it a soft and natural texture, but the yield of pearls is relatively low.

The pearls produced by penguin shells are mainly pink, starry blue, peacock blue, silver-gray blue and other colors.

In addition to penguin shellfish, there are also scattered shellfish such as tabby shellfish, heptagonal shellfish, white jade shellfish, luminous shellfish, pig shellfish, clams and other shellfish.

Now that he has reached his destination, Li Xiaofeng also sorted out the equipment on his body, and then began to rummage under the seabed. His target was first and foremost the penguin shells that had died.

Fortunately, penguin shells are also very easy to identify, its shell body is obliquely square, the front and back ears extend in a stalk-like shape, the front is short and the back is long, the shell on both sides is prominent, the shell surface is black, and the shape is a bit like the penguin in Antarctica.

However, to Li Xiaofeng's disappointment, he had been rummaging for more than 20 minutes, rummaging through hundreds of penguin shells, but still found nothing.

However, it is no wonder that the probability of penguins producing pearls is not high in the first place, and in the case of nature, this probability is definitely even lower.

It's just that to Li Xiaofeng's surprise, the big Napoleon wrasse that has been following him next to him saw that he had been rummaging through the clam shells, and after watching it for a while, it seemed that he had also learned, and even began to remove the mussel shells with his mouth and help him rummage through them!

Time flies, and more than ten minutes have passed in a blink of an eye, and suddenly the wrasse wrasse seemed to have found something, stopped rummaging, and swam towards Li Xiaofeng with something in his mouth.

At this time, Li Xiaofeng, who was still looking down for the mussel shell, didn't notice this, and he didn't raise his head until the wright wrasse gently touched his body with his head.

At this time, the wrasse wrasse spit out a round blue bead of considerable size from its mouth and landed in front of him.

Seeing this situation, Li Xiaofeng couldn't help but be ecstatic in his heart, and suddenly picked up the pearl from the ground and examined it carefully.

I saw that the diameter of this pearl is more than ten millimeters, showing a deep and mysterious blue like a starry sky.

Looking at it, Li Xiaofeng's eyes couldn't help but show a little intoxicated.

No wonder the late Princess Diana once said, "If a woman can only have one jewel, it must be a pearl!" ”

It is the unique silky texture and halo of this pearl that has conquered the hearts of thousands of women.

Now even Li Xiaofeng, a man, was conquered by it at this moment, and even the moment he got it, Li Xiaofeng had already arranged the best place for him.

That is to take this pearl to help my mother customize a high-end necklace. At that time, it will be a gift for my mother as a New Year's gift!

Speaking of which, since my mother got married, she has never bought a decent piece of jewelry, and the only jewelry she wears now is the gold bracelet that Li Xiaofeng gave her last time.

So the moment he got this intoxicating pearl, Li Xiaofeng made up his mind that no matter how much the pearl was worth, he was not ready to sell it, and when the time came, he would find a jewelry company to design it well and help his mother customize a high-end jewelry!

Thinking of this, he carefully put the starry blue pearl into a small bag he carried with him, and then stroked the clever wrasse fish as if complimentingly, and rubbed its fleshy forehead.

As if he had received great encouragement from him, the wrasse wrasse swam to the side and began to rummage through the shells.

Seeing this situation, Li Xiaofeng could only silently say in his heart: This is really a good fish!

However, the harvest of the wrasse wrasse also stimulated him, the fish knew that he worked so hard, and he couldn't be too bad, so he hurriedly began to rummage again.

After rummaging for a while, he really found a pearl under a mussel shell, but there was no joy on his face.

This is a semi-circular pink pearl, although it is not as large as the starry blue pearl just now, but the diameter of the pearl is not small, at least eight or nine millimeters.

The reason why Li Xiaofeng is unhappy is that although this pearl is still intact in shape, it no longer has the slightest jewel, in other words, this is a pearl that has passed its expiration date.

Pearls are not like diamonds, diamonds are eternal, one lasts forever!

It is often said that pearls are living jewelry.

It is like a young girl, when it is young, it is full of vitality, and its skin is full of radiance as if it can be blown away, and as the years go by, it will slowly lose its vitality and become dull.

That's why there is a saying that "people are old and yellow"!

All pearls age, whether they are water pearls or saltwater pearls, the difference is only how quickly they age.

Generally, saltwater pearls will have a higher density and hardness than waterwater pearls, so their aging will be slower.

Therefore, pearls have a saying that they only have one hostess in their lives, and it may be because of this poignant feeling that more and more women are obsessed with pearls.

In fact, pearls not only age when they are worn, but they also gradually lose their luster in nature, and finally become dull and dull.

This is mainly because the main component of pearls is calcium carbonate, but due to the different structures, calcium carbonate will exist in different forms. The calcium carbonate in pearls begins in the form of Elite aragonite, but Elite aragonite is less stable and slowly transforms into its sibling, calcite, over time.

These two states of calcium carbonate crystals are completely different, and this microscopic slow change process is the process of slow aging of pearls!
