Chapter 302: Gifts for idols

Father and daughter Eminem finally ate the yellow croaker in soup. Haili vividly showed everyone what it means, ‘it’s so delicious that I cry. ’
Because she really cried with excitement after eating.
Eminem wanted to film Xiao Peng’s process of making fish, but Xiao Peng refused to let him take a picture of himself. Eminem was puzzled by this: "What a good opportunity to be famous, I promise this video. When you publish, many people will know your name."
Xiao Peng just smiled at this: "I don't want to be famous."
Eminem asked curiously: "Why? Who doesn't want to be famous?"
Xiao Peng replied indifferently: "It's too tiring to be famous. In fact, I also understand that as my wealth increases, my popularity will definitely get higher day by day. I have begun to lose my original life. I still take advantage of this. Cherish this easy life."
Eminem listened for a moment and patted Xiao Peng on the shoulder: "You know better than me." Random thoughtful.
While fame brought Eminem wealth, it also made him lose more. Living in the spotlight every day, every word and deed are magnified infinitely. When Eminem was young, his domineering personality led to his relationship with the media, his family, and his colleagues being always on opposite sides. It was not until his friend Proof was shot to death that he left the music scene for a while and re-examined himself. Only then did he rebirth and ease the relationship with his family and friends.
Of course, he and the media haven't changed much, and he is still the ‘snefia mummy’ that the media loves and hates. ’
After dinner, Xiao Peng asked Eminem and Haili to have a good rest, and made an appointment to take the two to have fun at sea tomorrow.
Watching Eminem and his daughter go to rest. Xiao Peng took advantage of the fact that he was not paying attention and took a few tools with him to dive in the sea himself, instead of using his mind to clone himself.
Because he has a vision and wants to prove it.
In this auction, the "Blue Cat" was sold. Since knowing that this is the only sapphire in the world, Xiao Peng began to regret it. Who doesn't want to take the best in the world for himself?
But now it’s too late to regret, and it has been sold. then what should we do? Xiao Peng's method: find another piece.
But Xiao Peng didn't have the foolish idea of ​​hitting the sinking ship. There are many shipwrecks on the bottom of the sea, and there are many wealth, but to find a better sapphire from a shipwreck? That is undoubtedly a foolish dream. All the sunken ships in the world have turned up, and it is impossible to find them.
Xiao Peng's method: find gem mines by himself.
It is no exaggeration to say that there are almost all kinds of resources on land in the ocean, and there are also some resources that are not available on land. However, the ocean is too big and deep, which increases the difficulty of mining. Therefore, a large number of seabed resources are still sleeping on the seabed. Waiting for human development.
The world's major gem mining areas are almost all on the collision boundary of major plates. For example, Burma, Russia, Afghanistan, and Japan are on the border of the Eurasian plate. India and Sri Lanka are located in the Indian Ocean plate, Madagascar is located at the junction of the Antarctic plate, not to mention several countries in the African plate such as Tanzania and South Africa.
Which of these is not the origin of the famous gemstone veins?
Because of the changes in the earth's crust, China is also a major producer of various gems: diamonds in Shandong, Liaoning, rubies in western Yunnan, sapphires in Changle, not to mention Tianshan veins.
And Xiao Peng's choice to search the seabed of Qianliyan Fishery was not indiscriminate. After all, there are extinct volcanoes on the seabed of Qianliyan. Wherever volcanoes have existed, there are often gems and minerals.
In nature, more than 3,000 minerals have been discovered, but there are no more than 20 minerals that can be called gems. Among them, diamond, corundum, beryl, golden emerald and jadeite are also known as the five major gems. Belongs to precious ore among treasure ore.
Of course, even these five major gemstones depend on their quality. Take diamond as an example. If the transparency is not good, the color is not beautiful, or contains impurities, or the grain size is not enough, then it cannot be made into diamonds and the price is very low.
The excellent ones of these five gem minerals, such as diamond, are good ones as diamonds, and bad ones can only be used as grinding wheels.
The representative of corundum is ruby ​​and sapphire. The top grade of beryl is emerald. The jadeite loved by Chinese people belongs to jadeite. Good jadeite can sell at sky-high prices, while the poor ones are unsightly when used to pave the road. Opal and alexandrite belong to golden emeralds.
There are also some gem minerals, which belong to the middle and low grade gems, such as precious opal, tourmaline, turquoise, lapis lazuli, olivine and so on. Of course, even the same kind of gemstones have different quality. Therefore, the price of high-quality middle and low-end gemstones is often higher than that of inferior precious gemstones.
Since gem minerals in nature generally have relatively small particles, the value of gems usually increases by the square of the individual weight of the gem, and extremely large gems may even become priceless.
Of course, because natural gem minerals suitable for making high-end gems are very scarce, artificial methods have been developed to synthesize gems. Called artificial gems or synthetic gems. Rubies, diamonds, crystals, etc. can all be made artificially. Take ruby ​​for example. Although rubies are extremely rare, their prices are lower than diamonds. In addition to market operations and other factors, the main reason is that artificial rubies flood the market.
Xiao Peng quickly swam to the bottom of the sea-a volcano. After the result arrived, there was a lot of regret: the sea mud and sea sand covered the ground. How can we know if there are mineral veins on the seabed?
Xiao Peng thought for a while, and simply swam to the Qianliyan Trench, found a submarine cliff, and went all the way downstream.
To say that Xiao Peng was lucky, he didn't swim out for long before he found a cluster of crystals. Xiao Peng took out the small hammer he brought with him, carefully knocked down the cluster of crystals, and put it in the net pocket he carried with him.
This is a cluster of amethyst with a darker root and a lighter tip. The price of crystal is not expensive because it is common. Xiao Peng picked it up for two reasons. First, it was given to Haili as a gift. Second, according to magma pegmatite mineralization, if crystals are found near volcanoes, it generally means that there are topaz, tourmaline, beryl, etc. nearby. Xiao Peng looked around patiently, and found a few clusters of beryl. It seems that there should be a beryl mine here.
Beryl is still very recognizable, and is generally hexagonal crystal. The color presented is generally green, golden yellow, pink, etc., honey yellow is also more common. The most precious ones are emeralds and aquamarine.
Yes, although aquamarine is called sapphire, it belongs to beryl. The reason for the difference in color is related to the minerals contained in the beryl ore. Containing chromium, the color is green, iron is blue, and lithium and cesium are contained, and the color is rose red.
The pillars of beryl found by Xiao Peng were almost transparent and light green. This is of lower quality among beryls, only one cluster is pale pink. But this also gave Xiao Peng hope. If the beryl mine here is rich, you will definitely find very good emeralds. Although the price of the best emeralds is slightly lower than that of other gemstones, in recent years, it can reach a carat and thousands of gold in the market. In the auction market, it has reached a price of more than 100,000 meters of gold per carat.
Moreover, Xiao Peng found a small amount of tourmaline in the cracks in the rocks.
Tourmaline is the only gemstone in the world that has piezoelectric and hot spot effects. It can absorb dust and grass clippings. The most direct way to distinguish the authenticity of tourmaline is to see if it can absorb dust. China obtained this gemstone in 644 AD when Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty moved to the west and carved it into a seal. During the Qing Dynasty, a large amount of tourmaline entered the palace. According to records in Qing dynasty classics, in the burial objects of the Empress Dowager Cixi, a lotus flower carved from tourmaline stood under her feet.
With the advancement of science and technology in human society, scientists have re-understood this earth’s only charged ore, which can improve the environment and human health by generating a small amount of current.
Of course, those who are popular are the fine products in tourmaline, known as tourmaline. What Xiao Peng found was only the rough tourmaline. The rough tourmaline and beryl were similar, and they were easier to identify because tourmaline was a tripartite crystal, and the common crystal was a tripartite column with three cones at the end.
Xiao Peng looked at the black tourmaline and was really not interested. After spending most of the night on the seabed, he returned to his room.
Although he found the beryl vein, Xiao Peng was still not satisfied. What he wanted to find was the corundum vein. That is, rubies and sapphires. After all, it was because of the sale of the "Blue Cat" that Xiao Peng had the idea of ​​seeking minerals under the sea.
But looking at the mud and sand on the bottom of the sea, Xiao Peng was a little desperate again.
Finding mineral veins on the seabed cannot be exploited in large quantities like on land, at least Xiao Peng currently does not have that great ability. Had to search along the surface.
The formation conditions of corundum are nothing more than two points. Otherwise, it is the high temperature and high pressure conditions formed in the mantle. As the magma is sprayed out of the surface, the corundum in places like Thailand, Australia, China, the Stars and Stripes, and the Wa are all derived from This way of formation.
Otherwise, it is formed by contact metamorphism, which is mined from the placer. Various native rubies and sapphires are enriched by weathering, such as Burma, Kashmir, China and Anhui.
If Qianliyan really has corundum veins, it can only come from the first formation condition. But if you want to determine whether there are corundum veins here, you can't take all the mud and sand on the sea floor, right?
Thinking of this, Xiao Peng couldn't help being disappointed. But seeing the beryl ore on the table, Xiao Peng was a little happier again, at least not nothing? At least there is a beryl mine in the fishery, and if you find emeralds, it will also develop.
Only then did Xiao Peng carefully observe the rough beryl stone that came up. The color is mostly yellowish green, with some irregular associated minerals attached to the hexagonal main body.
Xiao Peng thought for a while, his eyes lit up: "Yes!"
Xiao Peng found the Eight Wind Knife and wanted to start carving, but it turned out. . . . . . Carving can't move. After all, the hardness of beryl is much higher than that of jadeite.
However, Xiao Peng was not without a way, directly injecting magic power into the knife, and sure enough, the hard beryl was as soft as tofu in front of the eight wind sword infused with magic power.
Xiao Peng focused on carving the beryl. He wants to make a small gift for his idol.
