My system is not decent

Chapter 335

When he saw a large box of tourmalines, Chen Wenzhe was inevitably amazed.

Compared with the monotonous red sapphire, the color of tourmaline is richer and more gorgeous.

The variety of colors of tourmalines has long been known to the world, because tourmalines are one of the most special gemstones in the world.

If you divide it carefully, there are more than one hundred colors of tourmaline, so tourmaline has the alias of "gem chameleon"!

At present, tourmaline gemstones are not very popular and famous in China, but this kind of gemstone has a deep relationship with the history and culture of our country.

Tourmaline first appeared in China, it is said that it was in the Tang Dynasty.

In the eighteenth year of Zhenguan (644 A.D.), Emperor Taizong of Tang Dynasty obtained tourmaline and carved it into a jade seal when he conquered the west.

In the Ming Dynasty, the emperor specially sent eunuchs or ministers to Nanyun Tengyue to supervise the purchase of tourmalines, rubies, and sapphires.

Especially during the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty, the king of Sri Lanka, Ariel Kunel, once contributed square objects and gems to Zhu Di, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty. Among the gems, there was a precious tourmaline.

That is to say, since that period, not only tourmalines, but also various gemstones have been imported and paid tribute to the country.

In the Qing Dynasty, most of the inheritance of the Ming Dynasty was inherited, and there were naturally all kinds of gems in the palace.

In the Qing Dynasty, tourmaline had different names.From Kangxi, it has evolved into various names such as "Phyesi", "Bia Si", "Bi Xia Xi", "Bi Xia Ding" or "Bi Xi";

During the Guangxu period, it was called "Bixiaxi" in "Jade Records" written by Chen Xing;
In the late Qing Dynasty and the period of the Republic of China, it was simply called "tourmaline".

It can also be seen from this that the tourmaline in Cixi's tomb was not only imported during her reign, but also accumulated over hundreds of years.

With such a large amount of wealth, there must not be many that actually entered her tomb, but such a part is worth beyond the imagination of the world.

Looking at the big box in front of him, which contained a cubic of tourmalines, Chen Wenzhe was a little confused for a moment. How many tourmalines did he get out at that time?
"It's also ten minutes, you have to hurry up, we are not waiting!"

While Chen Wenzhe was deep in thought, a staff member spoke in an indifferent way.

Chen Wenzhe sneered in his heart, why don't you see him like this?

Is it difficult to choose a tourmaline?It may be difficult in other places, but here, you don’t have to be careful about fakes, so it’s still difficult to choose?
Red is the first choice, but he must choose red tourmaline like ruby, followed by fuchsia and rose red.

Anyway, it looks very beautiful, just take the most beautiful one.

If there is no red tourmaline, blue tourmaline is also available, and even some green tourmalines like emeralds are not low in value.

The tourmaline here has no flaws, which saved Chen Wenzhe a lot of effort.

The most important factor that determines the price of tourmaline is its color, and red tourmaline is the most valuable tourmaline.

The highest quality tourmalines look like rubies.

Tourmalines with colors such as fuchsia and rose red are also of high value.

The blue tourmaline, which is particularly intense in color, is also very valuable.

Among them, the blue tourmaline dyed with indigo is called "dark blue tourmaline". It is different from other blue tourmalines and has a higher value.

Anyway, Chen Wenzhe chose some tourmalines with rich and special colors.

After all, the quality of the tourmalines here is not low, and there is really not much room for selection.

This is also the reason why many tourmalines that are considered precious by the outside world appear in front of Chen Wenzhe in large numbers.

It is not only difficult for him to choose the best, but also for others.

Red tourmaline, green tourmaline, blue tourmaline, no matter which one, just choose the most expensive one.

For example, now, he has seen a lot of the pure blue in the blue tourmaline.

Pure blue in blue tourmaline is very rare, and the common ones are dark blue or green blue, and blue tourmaline is top grade like sapphire.

Good things, don't pick them all up soon, and the next thing that stands out the most is the emerald-like green tourmaline.

Emerald-like green tourmalines are the best. In countries such as Europe and Brazil, green tourmalines have been mistaken for emeralds, which shows how precious they are.

The next green tourmaline is yellow-green green tourmaline.

Watermelon tourmaline, because tourmaline presents two colors, or a complex of multiple dyes.

This type of tourmaline is very rare, like watermelon, so this type of tourmaline is also the most valuable among tourmalines.

As long as it is more valuable than ordinary tourmalines, it is Chen Wenzhe's choice.

In addition to color, transparency is also an important factor in determining the price of tourmaline.

The clearer the tourmaline crystal, the better, and the more transparent the tourmaline, the better the quality.

The other is its clarity and cut. The crystal has fewer crack inclusions, and the fewer inclusions that can be seen with the naked eye, the better.

Of course, the weight of tourmaline also directly affects the price of tourmaline.

However, the tourmaline here is not picky about its purity and cut.

As for the weight, even if Chen Wenzhe wanted to choose a big one, he couldn't find it.

At this time, Chen Wenzhe also gradually realized that the first batch of appraisers, when appraising these tourmalines, would first select the big ones and go away.

Therefore, what stayed here and presented to Chen Wenzhe were ordinary-sized tourmalines.

I'm afraid that the first batch of appraisers were not professional, so they would choose the big ones with good colors, but they kept them for him.

In fact, size is relative. For example, the smallest core is the size of a pigeon egg.

And the price of such tourmaline per gram ranges from several hundred to several thousand or even tens of thousands.

Chen Wenzhe naturally chose the larger one with the best color.

So, he quickly picked out a lot, and the price of this thing is not expensive anyway.

Just for a while, Chen Wenzhe picked out five or six kilograms, which is five or six kilograms!

"By the way, what's the price for these tourmalines?"

"Ten thousand yuan per gram!"

"So expensive?" Chen Wenzhe was taken aback, he thought that the price should not be cheap, but he didn't expect that the price given to him would be so expensive.

"In the market now, high-quality tourmalines have a glass texture, uniform and full color, and the price per gram is around three or four thousand?"

Chen Wenzhe was well prepared, and he knew the price of tourmaline very well.

This kind of gemstone can be said to be of civilian grade. The tourmaline of medium and high quality is close to the vitreous body, and the price per gram is about [-] yuan.

Medium-quality tourmalines are good in color, but the crystals are average, and the price per gram is between 300-500 yuan.

Low-grade tourmaline has poor crystal structure and average color, and the price per gram is less than 100 yuan.

"This is the top-level tourmaline. This kind of tourmaline is the king of tourmaline. The carat price is tens of thousands of yuan, and it is basically sold at auction. It is valuable for collection."

"Are these reaching collectible level?"

Chen Wenzhe restrained himself from rolling his eyes, the king of tourmalines is none of these, but Paraiba tourmalines.

It was a tourmaline produced in Brazil. It seemed that it was only discovered in 1989. At that time, the Empress Dowager Cixi had already been dug out.
