"Steven, what do you plan to do with this gold crown? Collect it yourself or send it to auction? There must be many people on the live broadcast who are very concerned about this issue!"
Chandler's voice came again, his tone still very excited.
Ye Tian looked at the golden crown in his hand, then said with a smile:
“I don’t plan to collect this treasure myself. After I return to New York and find out the origin of this golden crown and determine its value, I will put it up for auction.
If anyone is interested in this golden crown, you are welcome to come to New York to participate in the auction. As long as you beat other competitors, this golden crown will be yours! "
After hearing his words, some places immediately started to shout curses again. Some of them were so angry that they were itching their teeth with hatred, but they were also very helpless and had no way to deal with Ye Tian!
As they cursed at the top of their lungs, these guys' eyes lit up.
If this golden crown is really related to your country or tribe, and it cannot be obtained through other means and channels, then you have no choice but to go to New York to participate in the auction and strive to win this golden crown!
After admiring the golden crown for a while, Ye Tian took the dark green silk from Matisse's hand, rewrapped the crown, and put it back in the red sandalwood box.
Immediately afterwards, he took out a sealed bag that he carried with him, put the red sandalwood box in it, and then tied the bulging sealed bag around his waist!
Seeing his action, everyone immediately understood that he was going to take the golden crown to the surface personally.
This treasure has been exposed and has been seen by countless people. It is somewhat inappropriate to put it back into the wooden crate and continue to put it in this cargo hold!
"Guys, let's continue. I believe there is more than one golden crown in this wooden box. There may be even bigger surprises, just waiting for us to discover!"
Ye Tian pointed to the wooden crate in front of him and said with a smile.
"You are right, Steven, there must be valuable treasures in those other metal boxes, and they are probably jewelry and diamonds, otherwise Rommel would not be so cautious!"
Mattis nodded in response, his tone very excited and full of expectation.
Before he finished speaking, he had already reached in and was about to take out another metal box from the wooden box.
However, he miscalculated and failed to pick up the metal box immediately. The weight of the metal box was obviously a bit beyond his expectation.
"Wow! This metal box is very heavy, weighing at least thirty-four or five kilograms. Could it be that it contains Nacui gold? There is no need to put it in the box!"
Mattis exclaimed, a little confused about the situation.
After saying this, he used his strength again, took out the metal box, and placed it on the bulkhead of the freighter next to it, which is now on the floor!
The next work is the same as before when breaking the first metal box.
Within a few moments, 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!
"Oh my God! A whole box of sapphires that have been preliminary cut and polished weighs more than 30 kilograms, and they are the highest quality sapphires. Am I right? How is this possible?"
Just as they were exclaiming, the seawater in front of them had completely turned blue, and the same was true for the live broadcast screen, which was azure, all set off by the top-grade sapphires in the metal box.
"More than thirty kilograms of top-quality sapphires? Did I hear you correctly? How is this possible! What a huge fortune that is, I can't even think of it!"
"It's so beautiful. I've never seen so many top-quality sapphires, and I've never seen such a beautiful picture. It's crazy, like a dream!"
Countless people in front of the live broadcast were holding their heads and exclaiming. Everyone was stunned by the scene on the live broadcast screen, and their eyes almost flew out of their sockets!
At this moment, Ye Tian's clear voice suddenly reached everyone's ears.
"I also wish these were top-quality sapphires, that would be perfect, but unfortunately they are not Kashmir cornflower blue, but a gemstone from Africa, tanzanite blue!"
"Ah! This is Tanzanite blue!"
Mattis exclaimed again, and immediately turned his head to look at Ye Tian, his tone and eyes slightly disappointed.
Raymond next to him also turned to look at Ye Tian, waiting for his follow-up explanation.
Ye Tian nodded slightly, reached out and took out a gemstone from the box, admired it carefully, and then began to introduce this special African gemstone!
“Although tanzanite blue and sapphire are both blue and very beautiful, they are not the same thing. The chemical composition of these two gemstones is completely different!
In mineralogy, tanzanite blue is also called zoisite, and true sapphire is called corundum, but in a broad sense, tanzanite blue can also be called sapphire.
In terms of hardness, tanzanite blue has a lower hardness, with a Mohs hardness of only 7, while the Mohs hardness of sapphire can reach 9, so tanzanite blue is not as wear-resistant as sapphire!
Although the hardness is lower, the color saturation and fire of tanzanite blue are far better than that of sapphire. The color of tanzanite blue is mostly blue with purple, which looks very beautiful!
This is the best sapphire, the color that can only appear in Kashmir cornflower blue. Because of this, everyone will admit it and think it 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 worth hundreds of thousands of dollars per carat! "
Hearing this, Matisse and Raymond couldn't help but chuckle.
Betty, who was watching the live broadcast in the main deck living room of the Brave, also had a bright smile on her face.
The top-grade cornflower sapphire worth hundreds of thousands of dollars per carat was the set of cornflower sapphire jewelry that Ye Tian bought at a jewelry auction in New York and gave to Betty!
After a short pause, Ye Tian continued:
"The price of tanzanite blue is different. The cheapest natural tanzanite blue will not be less than one hundred US dollars per carat, but the most expensive will not be more than one thousand US dollars per carat.
Of course, this is the price in the African market. In the European, American and Asian markets, the price of top-quality tanzanite blue will rise a little, but the extent of the increase is also very limited.
Compared with sapphires, the price range of tanzanite blue is very small. The tanzanite blues in front of you can be regarded as top-quality goods, and they are huge in quantity, which is also a huge wealth..."
Before Ye Tian could give an estimate, many people had quickly calculated the approximate value of this batch of tanzanite blue, and the exclamations immediately started to ring out again.
"At least 30 million US dollars! I'll go! This **** Steven is making money too fast. He can't even print money at full capacity, right?"
"Oh my God! The treasures in this sunken ship are so amazing. Could it be possible that all Rommel's treasures are on this freighter? That greedy guy Steven got an advantage for nothing!"
While people were talking about it, Matisse reluctantly closed the metal box and put it aside.
Although Tanzanite blue is very beautiful and fascinating, now is not the time to fully appreciate it. When these treasures are fished out of the water later, there will be plenty of time to appreciate them slowly.
Next, Matisse and Raymond took out all the remaining metal boxes from the wooden crates and opened them one by one to look at them.
The items contained in these metal boxes are not the same, but the items in each box are valuable and extremely dazzling. When each box is opened, there will be a sound of exclamation on the live broadcast!
Following the tanzanite blue, what appeared in front of everyone was a box of colorful opals, and they were all top quality, available in various colors!
As the ancient Roman scientist Pliny said, on these opals, you can see ruby flames, amethyst-like color spots, and emerald-like green seas. They are colorful, integrated, and beautiful.
After admiring Opal, known as the gemstone palette, a box of top-quality rubies appeared in front of everyone, completely dyeing the sea water, the live broadcast, and even everyone's eyes red!
These rubies are like masses of flowing blood and burning flames, full of passion!
