Chapter 1496: A feast of gems

"Steven, what do you plan to do with this golden crown? Collect it yourself or send it to auction? There must be a lot of people on the live broadcast that are very concerned about this issue!"
Chandler's voice came again, still very excited in his tone.
Ye Tian looked at the golden crown in his hand, then smiled and said:
"I don't plan to collect this treasure by myself. When I return to New York to figure out the origin of this golden crown and determine its value, I will send it to auction.
If anyone is interested in this golden crown, please come to New York to participate in the auction. As long as you defeat other competitors, this golden crown will be yours! "
Hearing what he said, there was a scolding sound in some places immediately, and some of them even hated the roots of their teeth, but they were very helpless. They didn't take Ye Tian at all!
While cursing in his throat, these guys' eyes lit up.
If this golden crown is really related to one's own country or tribe, and cannot be obtained through other means and means, then one must go to New York to participate in an auction and strive to win this golden crown!
Holding the golden crown in his hand and admiring it for a while, Ye Tian took the piece of dark green silk from Matisse, wrapped the crown again, and put it back in the red sandalwood box.
Immediately afterwards, he took out a sealed bag that he was carrying with him, put the red sandalwood box in it, and then tied the bulging sealed bag around his waist!
Seeing this action of him, everyone immediately understood that he was going to bring this golden crown to Shanghai himself.
This baby has been exposed, countless people have seen it, and then put it back into the wooden box and continue to put it in this cargo hold, which is somewhat inappropriate!
"Guys, let's go ahead. I believe there is more than one golden crown in this wooden crate. There may be even bigger surprises, just waiting for us to find out!"
Ye Tian said with a smile, the wooden box in front of him.
"You are right, Steven, there must be valuable treasures in the other metal boxes, and they are probably jewellery diamonds, otherwise Rommel would not be so cautious!"
Matisse nodded in response, very excited and full of expectation.
Before he could say anything, he had reached in, ready to take out another metal box from the wooden crate.
However, he miscalculated and failed to pick up the metal box at the first time. The weight of the metal box was obviously a bit unexpected.
"Wow! This metal box is very heavy, and it weighs 35 kilograms to say nothing. It is hard to say that the cui gold is packed inside, so there is no need to put it in the box!"
Matisse exclaimed, a little confused.
After saying this, he exerted his strength again, took the metal box out and placed it on the bulkhead of the freighter next to it, which is now the floor!
The next work is the same as the first metal box.
After a few efforts, Matisse and Raymond cooperated with each other and quickly opened the rusty metal box!
As soon as the top cover of the metal box was opened, the two guys exclaimed loudly, almost crazy with excitement!
"My God! A whole box of sapphires that have been initially cut and polished, weighing more than 30 kilograms, and they are the top sapphires, am I right? How can this be possible?"
At the same time they exclaimed, the sea water before them had completely turned blue, and the same was true for the live broadcast, a azure blue, all set off by the top sapphires in the metal box.
"More than 30 kilograms of top sapphires? I heard you right? How could this be possible! What a fortune it must be, I can hardly even think of it!"
"It's so beautiful, I've never seen so many top sapphires, and I've never seen such a beautiful picture, it's too crazy, it's like a dream!"
In front of the live broadcast, countless people were holding their heads and exclaiming. Everyone was stunned by the shock of the scene on the live broadcast, and their eyes were almost flying out of their eyes!
At this moment, Ye Tianqinglang's voice suddenly reached everyone's ears.
"I also hope that these are top sapphires, they are perfect, but unfortunately, they are not Kashmiri cornflower blue, but a gemstone from Africa, tanzanite blue!"
"Ah! This is tanzanite blue!"
Matisse exclaimed again, and immediately turned his head to look at Ye Tian, ​​his tone and eyes a little disappointed.
Raymond next to him also turned his head to look at Ye Tian, ​​waiting for him to give a follow-up explanation.
Ye Tian nodded lightly, stretched out his hand to take out a gem from the box, carefully admired it, and then began to introduce this African specialty gem!
"Although Tanzanite and sapphire are both blue, they are also very beautiful, but they are not the same thing. The chemical composition of the two gems is completely different!
In mineralogy, tanzanite is also called zoisite, and true sapphire is called corundum, but in a broad sense, tanzanite can also be called sapphire.
In terms of hardness, Tanzanite blue has a lower hardness, with a Mohs hardness of only 7, while sapphire has a Mohs hardness of 9, so Tanzanite is not as wear-resistant as sapphire!
Although the hardness is low, the color saturation and fire color of tanzanite blue are far better than sapphire. The color of tanzanite blue is mostly blue with purple, which looks very beautiful!
This is the best sapphire, the color that Kashmir cornflower blue can only appear, and because of this, everyone will admit their mistakes and think that this is the top sapphire!
As for the price, sapphires range from ten dollars per carat to ten thousand dollars per carat, or even higher. I have seen cornflower sapphires with hundreds of thousands of dollars per carat! "
Hearing this, Matisse and Raymond couldn't help laughing softly.
Betty, who was watching the live broadcast in the living room on the main deck of the Brave Intrepid, also had a bright smile on her face.
The top cornflower sapphire, worth more than 100,000 dollars per carat, is the cornflower sapphire jewelry that Ye Tian gave to Betty at the jewelry auction in New York!
After a short pause, Ye Tian continued:
"The price of tanzanite is different. The cheapest natural tanzanite will not be less than one hundred dollars per carat, but the most expensive will not exceed one thousand dollars per carat.
Of course, this is the price in the African market. In the European, American and Asian markets, the price of top-grade tanzanite will rise a bit, but the rate of increase is also very limited.
Compared with sapphire, the price range of tanzanite blue is very small, and these tanzanite blues are considered top-quality goods, and the quantity is huge, and it is also a huge wealth...."
Before Ye Tian gave a valuation, many people had quickly calculated the approximate value of this batch of tanzanite blue, and the exclamation sounded again.
"At least thirty million dollars! I'm going! Steven, the is making money too fast. It's not so exaggerated to print money at full speed, right?"
"Oh my God! This sunken treasure is too amazing. Is it possible that Rommel's treasure is all on this freighter? It's for nothing, the greedy fellow Steven!"
Just as people were talking about it, Matisse reluctantly closed the metal box and put it aside.
Tanzanite is of course very beautiful and fascinating, but now is not the time to enjoy it. When you later salvage these babies out of the water, some have time to slowly appreciate ~EbookFREE.me~ Next, Matisse and Raymond De took out all the remaining metal boxes in the wooden crate and opened them one by one.
The things in these metal boxes are not the same, but the things in each box are very valuable and extremely dazzling. When each box is opened, the live broadcast will sound an exclamation!
The one that appeared in front of everyone after tanzanite was a box of colorful opals, and they were all top-notch colors, available in various colors!
As the ancient Roman scientist Pliny said, on these opals, you can see the flames of rubies, the stains like amethysts, and the green sea like emeralds. They are colorful, integrated and beautiful.
After admiring the opal known as the gem palette, a box of top rubies appeared in front of everyone, completely dyeing this piece of sea water, also dyeing the live video, and everyone's eyes!
These rubies are like blood flowing in circles and flames burning, full of passion!
