"Oh my god, I'm right." Tang Hao was first attracted by the red spar, his eyes almost glared out.
"I'll take a closer look." Wu Lao was even more excited. He immediately took out a magnifying glass and other tools and inspected it carefully. The more he looked at it, the more shocked he was.
"Lao Wu, is this really pigeon's blood ruby?" Tang Hao asked excitedly.
"Yes, this is pigeon's blood ruby, or the top and most flawless pigeon's blood ruby. Oh my God, how heavy this piece is, at least fifty carats, it should not be more than that, how is this possible." This is actually psychologically prepared, because I heard that there are a lot of Su Jing baby, but now it is still stimulated incoherently.
"It seems that I read right." Su Jing smiled faintly.
"Su ... Mr. Su, since you recognize this gemstone, is it too calm?" Tang Hao and Wu Lao are hard to accept.
As everyone knows about ruby, the darkest and most beautiful one is called pigeon's blood ruby. The ruby that can really be called pigeon's blood ruby is not much produced and expensive, and most of it is produced in Myanmar. The luster after cutting can be comparable to the brilliance of diamonds.
At present, there are always many merchants on the market claiming that the ruby they sell is pigeon's blood ruby. In fact, the definition of pigeon's blood ruby is very strict, and there are nearly harsh regulations on its color, clarity, hue, and color saturation. At present, the international market price of small particles pigeon's blood ruby is about 20,000-30,000 US $ 1 carat, and it is almost impossible to find in ordinary stores or channels.
In 2011 Sotheby's Auction Center, the special shooting brought two top rubies from the top ruby mine-Mogu Valley. Among them, Bulgari's 27.67 carat natural Burmese ruby diamond ring is estimated at 12 million to 20 million Hong Kong dollars, which is the largest gem-level "pigeon blood" Mogu natural ruby in the history of auction. The most famous pigeon's blood ruby is called "Carmen Lúcia Ruby". It was born in Myanmar in the 1930s. After more than 70 years of drifting, it was taken in by Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History. As for the purchase price, only the museum knows it, and its weight is 23.1 carats.
The pigeon's blood ruby in front of us, the color and transparency are more beautiful than those, and the weight is more than fifty carats. It's no wonder that Tang Hao and Wu Lao were so shocked that they couldn't help themselves. Anyone who was engaged in jewelry would be shocked.
"Mr. Su, is there an electronic scale here?" Wu Lao asked.
"Yes." Su Jing said, taking out an electronic scale. Wu Lao weighed carefully. The data showed 12 grams, which was converted to 60 carats. Wu Lao's footsteps shook slightly and almost fainted.
"Mr. Su, this gem ..." Tang Hao excitedly said, but halfway through, it stopped abruptly. He subconsciously wanted to request Su Jing to transfer this gem to Tang Jewelry Store, but he thought about it, I am afraid fuck cannot afford it. This gem is an invaluable treasure in itself. Rich people generally refuse to sell it. Even if Su Jing is willing to sell it, they may not be able to afford it. Taking it down is too hurting.
"Oh, let's look at the other two pieces first." Su Jing pointed to two larger pieces of sapphire.
Tang Hao was also stimulated too much by this ruby. At this time, he thought of the other two. He looked down carefully and was shocked again. Wu Lao also turned his attention to two pieces of sapphire, and also looked dumbfounded again.
They first looked at the sapphire from directly above, and they saw the top of the convex sapphire, showing six stars, very beautiful. Turning slightly and shaking your finger, the star line above moves flexibly.
"God, this is the best star sapphire." Wu Lao was shocked.
"No flaws, full transparency, perfect starlight, flexibility, clear and bright, and still such a big one, this is the first time I have seen such a superb star sapphire." Tang Hao was equally excited.
"Originally this is called star sapphire, how to identify it?" Su Jing asked if he didn't understand it. He had known about sapphire, and he had heard of star sapphire by accident, but he didn't understand the specifics.
"Simply speaking, it is sapphire that produces starlight. The reason is that the gemstone contains silk-like inclusions (in the plane perpendicular to the Z axis, the directional needle-like rutiles dissolved out are arranged at an angle of 60 ° to each other. When cutting into a curved gemstone, the curved surface should be perpendicular to the specific direction of the sapphire crystal (c axis), and then the radiant starlight with the center of the intersection point will appear, and the double starlight phenomenon may occasionally be seen; otherwise, the starlight cannot be concentrated due to the deflection In the center, it becomes a crooked crystal. "Wu Laoyu spoke very fast, stopped talking, and continued,
"The gem industry ’s criteria for judging the starlight are very strict. For example, is the intersection of the six star lines of the gemstone located in the center of the gemstone? Is the starline complete and bright? Will the starline move flexibly as the light and fingers rotate? The more affirmative answers, the greater the value of the gemstone. The bright red and blue starlight gemstones are the most valuable. If the star line meets the above conditions and is more transparent, the value is very high. Your two pieces of star sapphire , It is clearly in full compliance ... It should not be said that it exceeds the standard. "
"Weigh one, weigh multiple." Tang Hao said, putting two pieces of star sapphire on the electronic scale and weighing them. They were all the same weight, 15 grams, which was 75 carats.
"Fortunately, it's okay." Tang Hao and Wu Lao relieved a little, and this weight is not too exciting. The "Indian Star" currently in the New York Museum of History has perfect starlight and no flaws. It is called rare treasures and weighs 563 carats, which is much heavier. However, there is no doubt that this pair of 75 carats, the more perfect star sapphire, is definitely worth a lot.
"Wait, I really want to miss something." Wu Lao suddenly moved his expression and took out a few small flashlights from the bag to illuminate. When the yellow light was turned on, the sapphire changed color and appeared purple. . When it was changed to ultraviolet light, it turned red again. Wu Lao was crazy again, "God, this is not a normal star sapphire, but a discolored star sapphire."
The color-changing star sapphire occupies a very small proportion in the star sapphire family, accounting for about one-thousandth. The weight generally does not exceed 3 carats, and it is extremely rare that it exceeds 5 carats. It is a gift from God that exceeds 10 carats.
In September 2013, a 67.98-carat star sapphire was designed and polished by the famous gem design cutting master, the famous gemstone collector, and the Chinese diatom mud inventor Mr. Xu Lianfu after three months. This gem is the largest color change star sapphire identified by GRS in history and is named "Purple-Blue Star". Once available, it shocked the world.
The two identical pair of star sapphires weighing 75 carats in front of them turned out to be discolored star sapphire. Tang Hao and Song Lao both had rapid heartbeats, blood surging, and dizziness. (To be continued.)
