Chapter 418 Colored Diamonds

The stone mixed with muddy water was washed in water again, revealing its original appearance.

"Blue?"

Feng Yi looked at the translucent stone with obvious blue color in his hand.

It was like a broken colored glass brick, pressing on his hand. Very textured.

The surface was not smooth, but uneven. The overall shape was slightly flat, obviously not the kind of complete crystal structure, it should be a fragment of a large crystal.

And from what Feng Yi perceived, there was only one piece of it nearby that was of the same origin.

As for why there is only such a part of a large crystal now...

Well, maybe it was consumed.

This piece of raw diamond in his hand should have been buried here for a long time.

After the transformation of this mining area, the panning area was obviously rebuilt and expanded a lot closer to the river. This is one of the expansion areas. Due to the increase in the flow of tourists, the mine will also do regular cleaning here.

Even if there was no Feng Yi, this blue translucent stone would be discovered one day in the future.

Feng Yi made it available in advance.

Its ownership will also be finalized in advance.

Feng Yi looked at the blue stone in his hand and thought: Ah, this is what the ancestors used to pave the ground in the dream...

"Diamond!!!"

A scream like a pheasant crowing sounded not far away.

It was a nearby diamond prospector, wearing a tour group hat on his head.

Many people nearby suddenly became quiet because of his roar, and everyone looked over

Even the people nearby who were exhausted by the sun and looking for a cool place to lie down and take a nap were startled and sat up, instantly standing up, with bright eyes.

Then, they found Feng Yi, who was almost half standing in the water and holding a blue translucent object in one hand.

After a moment of silence.

"Hahaha——"

The people looking over here burst into laughter.

"This is a modern industrial product, how can it be broken like this?"

There are too many examples of mistaking the remains of glass or crystal objects for diamonds.

The person who just shouted was also embarrassed at this time. He was looking for diamonds when he saw the young man picking something up from the water.

At first he thought the young man was unlucky and stepped on a stone in the water. He was complaining about the workers in the mine being passive and lazy. This place hadn't been cleaned for a long time and was very dirty.

But soon, when the young man picked up the stone and washed it, he realized that it was a diamond! !

He got excited and shouted.

Forgive him for being ignorant. He has no common sense and experience in this area.

"Oh, I was impulsive. Sorry everyone." He said apologetically.

But others did not stop there. Someone started to make a fuss:

"Scratch it and try its hardness to see if it is a diamond!"

"You can directly ask the appraiser in the mine to help with the appraisal. They are working hours now."

"Is it a jewelry-grade modern craft? Hahaha!"

The tourists in the washing area suddenly made a mess.

It's too fake! This is definitely not a diamond!

How can there be such a big colored diamond! ! !

While everyone was laughing and making noises, Feng Yi had already come out of the water. He smiled politely in response to everyone's booing, whether it was good or bad, and said, "Yes, I plan to go find the mine appraiser."

In the eyes of most tourists, Feng Yi must have a very embarrassed look behind the sunglasses on his face.

As Feng Yi stood up and left, some tourists in the panning area followed him.

Since no diamonds have been found so far, it's better to go and take a look.

Some people wanted to talk, some wanted to watch the fun, and some took videos with their mobile phones, probably wanting to post them online for fun later.

In the diamond mines that have tourist projects every year, tourists don't find many serious things, but instead take out all kinds of strange objects. The videos posted online can attract a lot of attention.

Xiaojia and Xiaoding have already come over quickly and protected Feng Yi on both sides.

Mark and Cai Bin followed closely behind.

Cai Bin didn't take it seriously at first, but Mark, who had been nagging beside him, was silent at this time.

So Cai Bin asked, "What are you thinking about?"

Mark shook his head and said nothing.

Mark now felt his forehead throbbing, and had a premonition that something big was going to happen.

He looked up at Feng Yi in front of him again.

This young employer with a mysterious identity had a strange contradiction, and Mark couldn't tell whether it was true or false. Every time he thought he had seen it, he found a layer of fog covering it the next moment, and the initial positioning was constantly overturned and he couldn't see it clearly.

Mark's first reaction to the situation was the same as others. He didn't think it was a rough diamond, but then an absurd and unbelievable idea came up.

The most unlikely voice in his heart was screaming wildly.

Mark's breathing became heavy.

What if?

What if it was really a diamond?

Looking around, when his eyes swept over the security guards in the mining area, Mark's boiling blood cooled down again.

What if the diamond in the employer's hand was a real diamond, something big would happen!

It's okay to dig up small diamonds here, but you can't take the big ones out!

Mark really wanted to reach out and grab the employer's footsteps at this moment.

I can't! You can't go through these procedures at this time!

You should take this thing and run away immediately!

Let them all think that you are holding a piece of broken glass!

Can't you find someone to identify it after you leave here safely? !

In front, more people are watching the excitement.

The tourists digging for ore in the mining area saw the movement over there and asked someone.

I heard that someone found a very large thing that seemed to be a remnant of modern craftsmanship. It was important to take it to identify whether it was a diamond.

There were many grooves and no mouth. But it didn't stop them from watching the fun.

"Where is it?"

"Puff! Hahaha!" Someone laughed unceremoniously.

The tourists standing on the side, fanning themselves with hats, gathered together to discuss. Digging for diamonds but not finding anything is so boring. It's rare to have some fun.

"I just ran over and took a picture of the blue stone in this man's hand."

"Do you think the thing he dug is a diamond?"

"If it is a diamond, then he will become rich overnight?"

"Is this thing a share for everyone who sees it?"

"How long does it take to identify it? Where is it identified?"

The ignorant tourists talked in a relaxed tone.

Because in many people's impressions, the word "pigeon egg" is used to describe the size of a diamond.

This is an ostrich egg, right? !

It's an exaggeration to say that it's an ostrich egg, but it's really big!

So big that no one wants to believe it!

The information spreads very quickly among the members of the tour group.

The tourists who are closer to the location of the mine manager, with the mentality of watching the excitement and not minding the trouble, shouted loudly for the mine's appraisal person to come out.

After the mine was transformed, because tourists would dig diamonds from time to time, there would always be appraisers on duty during the opening hours.

As long as it is identified as a diamond, it will be comprehensively estimated based on the weight, clarity and other aspects of the diamond, and the diamonds dug by tourists will be recycled.

Of course, there are also tourists who choose not to sell it and keep it as a souvenir, especially those small grains that cannot be sold at a high price and cannot even be used to buy a ticket. It is better to keep it as a souvenir.

The appraiser was called out.

Feng Yi took the "stone" over.

The original diamond was not cut, and the sunlight shone down, and there was no sharp light.

Feng Yi looked at it, and what he thought of in his mind was not what it would look like after he cut it, but the stones paved the ground in the cave where his ancestors lived in his dream.

Look at the size of the stone, and then look at his palm.

An adult can easily pick up a small stone used for paving with two fingers, but a child needs one hand to hold it firmly.

This is the difference in body size.

A piece of the "small stone" used by the ancestors to pave the road can cover most of Feng Yi's palm.

"I can't keep up with my development!"

It's hard to imagine that Feng Yi was thinking about this kind of thing in this situation.

"Wow, this is really a super big guy!"

The security guard of the mining area spoke with a teasing tone, and it was obvious that he didn't think it was really a rough diamond.

Does a rough diamond look like this? So big?

Anyway, he has never seen it in all the years he has worked in the mining area.

Another mining area staff member came over and said politely: "Do you need help cleaning it?"

It means to help Feng Yi wash the stone.

Feng Yi didn't let him, just said he would do it himself.

The man said considerately: "Please come this way. There are cleaning tools here."

Feng Yi was not worried that this thing would be taken away by someone. He rinsed it himself, just slightly rinsing the surface of the original diamond, and would not rub the substances on the surface of the original diamond hard.

He still wanted to keep it to study his ancestors.

Things that looked like stains on the surface were not necessarily his research targets, but what if?

It's better to keep them first and clean them up after confirming that they are useless.

Feng Yi couldn't use those extraordinary powers to study diamonds in public, so the study of the "patina" of the special original diamonds left by the ancestors could only wait until he got back.

The original diamond that had been cleaned again was handed to the appraiser.

Under the public's eyes, the appraiser's expression became more and more solemn, and then excited, his face flushed, and even a little out of control.

"Yes, it's true..."

"It's true!"

The appraiser weighed the original diamond again.

"2971! 2971 carats!"

1 carat = 0.2 grams

It's a great weight!

This data is not accurate, as some debris on the diamond has not been cleaned up, but overall, the number will not be too different, and we know what the approximate positioning is.

A little regret flashed in the appraiser's eyes.

If this rough diamond had taken out a small piece when it was broken from the original large crystal, the world record holder for the largest rough diamond might have to be changed.

The world record holder "Cullinan" rough diamond is 3106 carats.

But!

The appraiser's voice trembled with excitement.

"It is a rich blue!!"

"It is not the largest natural rough diamond recorded so far, but it is definitely the largest natural colored diamond on record!"

The appraiser looked at the stone, as if he saw through it a set of gorgeous ornaments that appeared in the top safe after being carved, as if he saw the quiet, elegant, beautiful and charming light shining from those ornaments.

At that time, how many top rich people would go crazy to collect a whole set? !

The more he thought about it, the more his throat felt dry, and he urgently needed to quench his thirst.

The appraiser looked at a security guard in the mining area, and the man nodded, meaning that he had contacted the mine owner Tama.

Tama, who received the news, hurried over, without even looking at Feng Yi, and touched his bearded chin, as if wiping away the saliva that had not flowed:

"The color is very beautiful. How about the clarity?"

The appraiser just glanced at him.

He said nothing.

But he also said everything.

The two have worked together too many times.

Tama raised his eyebrows, his face still didn't change much, but the whole person looked like a tiger about to ambush its prey.

Xiaojia walked over and took the diamond from the appraiser.

The appraiser held it tightly, and Xiaojia pulled it hard.

The appraiser's eyes were still only on the rough diamond. Seeing Xiaojia's rough movements, he couldn't help but say: "Be careful! Although it is hard, it also needs to be cherished. I swear you don't know how rare it is."

Xiaojia perfunctorily returned a polite smile.

Xiaojia's heart: Diamonds are nothing, I swear you have never seen anything rarer than diamonds... creatures!

Xiaojia's face was still calm, and he handed the diamond to Feng Yi.

At this time, Mark saw that others were paying attention to him, and quietly retreated, trying to stay away from Feng Yi's position, so that he could quickly escape from the battlefield when a conflict broke out later.

This employer who is stupid and rich... Alas, silence.

Cai Bin's heart sank, and he kept calling from just now. He wanted to call the police!

The people at the mine noticed Cai Bin's action, but they didn't care.

Tama said to Feng Yi at this time: "Give it to me."

Feng Yi said lightly: "It's mine."

The surrounding mine security guards gathered around.

Tama smiled.

He looked at the young man in front of him wearing sunglasses.

In his opinion, the man in front of him might just be a man with a little money at home, who came out to play, and was accompanied by two or three people to protect his safety. He was very stupid, could not judge the situation, and had no sense of crisis.

Because Feng Yi was wearing sunglasses, Tama couldn't see what Feng Yi's expression was at this time, and didn't know if there was panic in his eyes.

Only Tama's own figure was printed on Feng Yi's sunglasses.

Tama had a smile on his face, but there was not much smile in his eyes. It was more like a tiger that had locked its prey and had opened its bloody mouth and exposed its sharp teeth.

He stared at Feng Yi, and his voice was still suppressed at a very gentle amplitude.

"I'll give you a chance. Say it again. Whose blue diamond is this?"

Feng Yi: "Mine."

At this time, a voice came from the air, from far to near, and it sounded like there was a little bit of a battle.

Everyone present looked up at the sky.

One, two, three, four... nine, ten!

Ten helicopters!

Moreover, more than half of the ten are armed and have combat needs!

The question is, why did such a serious battle suddenly appear in their own territory at this time? Tama looked solemn.

Is there a confidential mission that they don't know about?

Is there any misunderstanding or hidden conflict?

However, watching these helicopters flying towards this side with a clear goal, Tama wanted to say something but didn't say anything, his lips trembled, and then looked at Feng Yi again.

Look at this unknown tourist with a new perspective.

Mark, who was retreating outside, paused, observed for a moment, and quickly came back.

Well, at this time, I should stay firmly by my dear employer's side!

Never leave!
