In Dumas's "The Count of Monte Cristo", Monte Cristo sought the treasures hidden on the islands according to the priest's instructions. After opening the treasure chest, he saw: "The money cabinet is divided into three compartments. In the first grid, there are piles of gold coins; in the second grid, there are unpolished gold nuggets... in the third Gerry, Edmond grabbed the diamonds, pearls and rubies that they had, and when they fell, they slammed each other and made a sound like a hail on the glass." Thus, from two hundred years ago, even longer Before, Europeans confirmed the value of colored gemstones.
In addition to gold, they exchange money for diamonds, rubies, and other things that can be preserved for a long time and are not easy to depreciate, so as to ensure that wealth will not be easily lost. Today, in addition to diamonds and rubies, there are many types of precious colored gemstones that are favored by modern people. The specific meaning of this "many kinds" will only be understood when we want to classify the colorful treasures and learn them in detail.
Noble red sapphire
Rubies and sapphires are always mentioned by people because they belong to the corundum family. Pure corundum is colorless. Because it contains trace amounts of impurity elements such as iron, bright colors appear in the spectrum, including red, yellow, blue, green, and purple. Because the color is too rich, people only refer to the red corundum as ruby, and the other tones are collectively referred to as sapphire. The pigeon bloody ruby ​​is excellent, and the blue sapphire of the cornflower blue is hard to find. People say "ten red and nine cracks", natural rubies are flawless and very rare, so they are more expensive than sapphire.

When the scorching sun on the battlefield blazed the skin of the warriors, the ruby ​​glowed like a fire. Can the hard light really blend into the blood for energy? These conjectures have not been verified, but the precious minerals have caused one dispute after another but it is a fact.

In 1597, Burma began mining rubies, and the rulers regarded it as a private property. If it was discovered that it was private, it would have to dig up the eyes of the private collector and imprison him for life. Britain and France have also launched a "ruby war" in order to compete for the ruby ​​resources of Mogok, killing them, killing and killing countless.

The rumor is that Cleopatra's favorite gems are extremely exploited and made into valuable jewellery, worn all year round. Egypt still has the “Cleopatra Mineâ€, located on the shores of the Red Sea. According to statistics, only one of every 1 million beryl minerals is emerald, and it is delicate and fragile, and it is cracked. Therefore, the value of superior emerald is much better than that of diamonds of the same weight.
"Small and fresh" Hailanbao, with light color and shiny luster, is another star of the Beryl. The color of water makes people believe that it is a treasure in the sea, also known as "mermaid stone." The worship of the ancients on the sea endowed the legend of this gem.

Paraiba tourmaline is definitely outside the ranks of “relatively more†and “more intimateâ€. Brazil's ParaÃba can only produce dozens of carats of blue-green elves every month, carrying dazzling electric light to illuminate the soul of the miners. When people saw it for the first time at the Tucson Gem Fair in 1990, it was shocked or shocked. Applying the online buzzwords of the past few days, all "gang". After the shock, the pursuit was extremely crazy. ParaÃba’s price has increased 10 times in 4 days, and the heat continues to soar and never fades.
Watermelon tourmaline is in a spar. It has the characteristics of red inside and blue green outside. It is similar to the tourmaline of watermelon. The quantity is rare and the price is more expensive. The Empress Dowager Cixi is an ashes-class lover of watermelon tourmaline. After her death, she was buried. She also specially placed one jade watermelon in the coffin, green skin, red peony, white seed and black silk, worth about 2.2 million. These two emerald watermelons are two watermelon tourmalines.

Cixi is lying in the golden jade jade in the night, hungry and licking two watermelons, no need to let her do 100 or two silver ducks, it is really convenient to die.
Opal geeks
Describe the beauty of Opal? you can not. Can you name the weight of a rainbow? Do you energize the farthest star to the Earth? The charm of Opal lies in its uncertainty. The surface color changes with the intensity of light and the transformation of the visual angle, just like the game of playing hide-and-seek in various colors. As an observer, you are not appreciating it, but chasing it. It is a naked mystery, and it is a sleek and bright, and the people who see it are lost in the fascination of it.
The ancient Roman natural scientist Pliny recorded that the old man Noni had a very beautiful opal. At that time, the ruler Anthony let him give it, otherwise he would be exiled. As a result, Nonining chose to go exile and refused to offer Opal to Anthony. The Chinese say that if they are free, life and love can be abandoned. It is rare that this kind of love stone does not love freedom. Opal is divided into black opal, white opal, sparkling opal, crystal opal, and stone opal. It is the most expensive black opal. Noni’s free exchange is perhaps the best of a black opal.
People love the file
People's judgments on gemstones are extremely harsh. In order to pursue high-quality gemstones, it is not necessary to be so serious. Many times, nature is just playing with us. There are examples: In the 17th century, the crown of the king of Portugal was set with a diamond called Braganza (1640 carats), once considered the world's largest diamond, and the king was proud. I have been wearing it for many years. It has now been confirmed to be a colorless topaz.
This Topa stunned the king for half a lifetime, and stunned many of his descendants, dazzling to this day. Topaz is colorful and diverse, and yellow and blue are the most classic. The price is cheaper than red sapphires, tourmalines, etc. It is a popular mid-range gem. The example of the Portuguese King proves that Topaz can make us like diamonds.
Crystal, quartz ore, the main component of silica, a large number of children under the knee, from amethyst, yellow water, pink crystal, hair crystal, titanium crystal to green ghost, mostly transparent or translucent, with glass luster. In the "Shan Hai Jing", the crystal is called Shuibi, and the "Guang Ya" is the crystal of the "Elves of Water". These names add a three-point romanticism to this seemingly glassy ore.
In 1976, a flash of lightning ignited a grassland at the foot of Mount Kilimanjaro in Africa. After the fire, many ochre ore suddenly turned into a beautiful blue crystal named Tanzanite. After the broadcast of "Titanic", the director put it out: "In fact, the "heart of the ocean" in the movie is a piece of tanzanite." Tanzanite has established a foothold in the North American jewelry market. Chinese people don't know much about this gem newcomer and may confuse it with sapphire. The tanzanite is mainly blue, deep purple and reddish brown. The heating will turn into a sapphire-like indigo, and the hardness is lower than that of red and blue. One of the biggest differences between tanzanite and diamond is the reflectivity: 10%-19% for diamonds and 2%-10% for tanzanite. This data shows that these two stones are really not a grade. So what is the highest reflectivity? It is a mirror. Close to 100%.
The beauty of the world is inexhaustible. As one of the beautiful representatives, the colorful treasure is difficult to summarize.
