Kapitel 813: CHAPTER 728 STARTLED
"Oh my God, I am not imagining things, right?" Tang Hao was attracted by the Red Gem first and his eyes almost popped out of his head like a cartoon character.
"I'll take a closer look." Old Wu was even more excited than Tang Hao. He immediately took out a magnifying glass and other tools and began to carefully check the Red Gem.
The more he looked, the more shocked he became. In the end, his chin almost fell to the ground in shock and his hands shook with a slight tremor.
"Old Wu, is this really the 'Pigeon's Blood Ruby?" Tang Hao asked excitedly.
"Yes, this is Pigeon's Blood Ruby, and it is the top and most flawless Pigeon's Blood Ruby I have seen. Oh My God, how heavy is this piece? It should be at least Fifty Carats. It shouldn't be more than that. But how could this be possible." Old Wu suddenly exclaimed when he realized what this Red Jem is.
Before coming to Su Jing's house, Old Wu was actually mentally prepared because he had heard that Su Jing has a lot of treasures, but he is still being stimulated to the point that he couldn't even speak any further than he already had.
"It seems that I wasn't wrong in my assumptions." Su Jing smiled faintly when he heard Old Wu and Tang Hao's words.
"M… Mr. Su, since you had already recognized this gem, why are you so calm about it?" Tang Hao and Old Wu simply found it hard to accept that Su Jing could remain this calm in the face of such treasure.
As everyone in the industry knows, the most colorful and beautiful rubies are called Pigeon's Blood Ruby.
The Rubies that can really be called Pigeon's Blood Ruby are produced in small quantities and cost a lot of money, most of them are produced in Myanmar or Burma, and their luster is comparable to the sparkling brilliance of Diamonds.
In the present time, there are always many merchants in the market claiming that the rubies they sell are Pigeon Blood Ruby.
In fact, the definition of Pigeon Blood Ruby is very strict, and its color, clarity, hue, and color saturation are almost harsh to the point that many Red Rubied wouldn't even qualified to be called the Pigeon Blood Ruby.
According to regulations, the current international market price of small particles of Pigeon's Blood Ruby is about 20,000 to 30,000 US Dollars Per Carat, and it is almost impossible to find them in ordinary stores or channels.
In 2011, at Sotheby's Auction Center, the special auction brought two top-level rubies from the top ruby mine at the Mogok Valley.
Among them, the Bulgari 27.67 Carat Natural Burmese Ruby Diamond Ring was estimated to be at 12-20 Million Hong Kong Dollars and it was one of the largest gem-quality "Pigeon Blood" Mogok natural ruby in auction history.
The most famous Pigeon's Blood Ruby is called "Carmen·Lucia". It was found in Myanmar in the 1930s. After more than 70 years of drifting from one hand to another, it was taken in by the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History.
As for the purchase price, only the museum knows its real weight and its estimated weight is about 23.1 Carats.
The Pigeon's Blood Ruby in front of them is even more beautiful in color and transparency than those two legendary Rubies and it must at least weighs more than Fifty Carats.
It's no wonder that Tang Hao and Old Wu were so shocked and anyone who knows anything about jewelry would be as shocked as them.
"Mr. Su, do you have an electronic scale here?" Old Wu asked with an excited expression on his face.
"Yes." Su Jing said and he took out an electronic scale machine and weighing the Red Ruby out. Old Wu weighed it with a lot of caution.
The data showed that the ruby weighed 12 Grams which means that it was at 60 Carats. Old Wu's feet shook slightly and he almost fainted on the spot.
"Mr. Su, this gem…" Tang Hao excitedly said but he abruptly stopped in the middle of his sentence.
He subconsciously wanted to ask Su Jing to transfer this gem to the Tang Jewelry Store, but after thinking about it, he is afraid that he and the Tang Jewelry Store won't be able to afford it.
This gem is a priceless gem in itself. The rich would generally refuse to sell it at all. Even if Su Jing is willing to sell it, they may not be able to buy it from him as the price would be too enormous.
"Haha, let's take a look at the other two pieces first." Su Jing pointed to two larger sapphires on the table as he spoke.
Tang Hao was also over-stimulated by this ruby as he only now thought about the other two gems in front of him.
He lowered his head and took a closer look at them and he was once again shocked. Old Wu also turned his attention to the two sapphires and he stared blankly at them again.
They first looked at the sapphire from directly above and saw the convex top of the sapphire with six starbursts, which was very beautiful.
They turned and shook their fingers slightly in turn and the star line above the sapphire actually moved with a lot of flexibility.
"Oh my God, this is the best Star Sapphire I have ever seen." Old Wu said with a shocked expression on his face.
"There are no flaws in it, it has full transparency, perfect starlight, flexibility, clarity, and brightness, and it is still such a big piece. This is the first time I have seen such a superb Star Sapphire." Tang Hao was equally excited.
"It turned out to be Star Sapphire, how did you identify it?" Su Jing asked if he didn't understand.
He had known about Sapphire, and he had heard about Star Sapphire by chance, but he didn't know exactly what was going on and how are they different from each other.
"Simply speaking, it is a Sapphire that could produce Starlight. The reason is that the gem contains silk-like inclusions inside of it. (They are out-soluble and are directionally arranged needle-like rutile arranged at an angle of 60° to each other in the plane of the vertical Z-Axis.) When it is cut into an arc-shaped stone, the arc should be directly perpendicular to the specific direction of the Sapphire Crystal (C-Axis) in order to produce a six-radial star with a central intersection, and it is also possible to see the double starlight phenomenon which is occasionally visible. Otherwise, the starlight cannot be concentrated in the center due to skewed cut, resulting in a distorted crystal." Old Wu spoke extremely fast and stopped for a while before he continued.
"The gem industry has strict criteria for judging Starlight in Sapphire. For example, whether the intersection of the Six Star lines is in the center of the stone or not? Are the lines complete and bright? Do the lines move flexibly with the light and the turn of the finger? The more positive answers, the greater the value of the stone. Brilliantly Colored Red and Blue Star Sapphires are the most valuable pieces in the Market and if the Star lines meet the above criteria and are clear then their value would be even higher. Both of your Star Sapphire, apparently fully meet these expectations... No, I should say that they exceed the criteria."
