Huayi Universe

Chapter 42 Unexpected Results

The results of the appraisal were quite unexpected. Among the two sapphires identified by Hua Yi, the one she chose was a processed sapphire, while the one selected by Universe was pure natural.

Looking at the results of the appraisal, Hua Yi's expression became solemn, and he asked the appraiser seriously: "What does firing mean? Does the addition of residues inside the gemstone mean that the sapphire is fake?"

The appraiser answered Hua Yi patiently and carefully at the moment: "Firing, as the name implies, is heating. Heating sapphire can improve the color and clarity of sapphire, and improve the quality of sapphire to a certain extent. Sapphire firing can be divided into two types: Two, optimization and treatment: optimization is purely physical heating, the color of sapphire after heating will become better, and the properties of sapphire will not be changed, so it is accepted by the industry and consumers. Treatment is also heating, but in Other substances are added during the heating process. After heating, there are additives left inside the gemstone, which will affect the quality of sapphire.

"Then how much is this treated sapphire worth?" Hua Yi continued to ask the appraiser unwillingly.

Speaking of which, the appraiser has also seen the big scene, and said very calmly: "Currently, in the market, the price and appreciation space of naturally mined Type A sapphires are much higher than those of artificially processed sapphires. So the sapphire on the right is Although it is not as dazzling as the one on the left, its value is far greater than that of the processed one.”

On the way home, Hua Yi felt a little emotionally lost. Before she got home in the car, she used the car phone to talk to the tour guide in Sri Lanka. Hua Yi communicated with the tour guide in fluent English.It is not in vain that she has studied in a foreign country for so many years, "Hi sir, I am Miss Wang from the private group you brought before. The two gems I bought at the jewelry store you recommended were identified as fake after returning home."

The local Sri Lankan tour guide on the other end of the phone spoke English with a strong local accent, "Ms. Hua, hello. I am very sorry about this incident. Can you take a picture of the identification result and I will help you find that one later. The businessman goes to the theory and asks him to give you an explanation."

After hanging up the phone, Hua Yi threw the phone to Universe, and asked him to take a photo of the domestic appraisal result from his bag to the other party.After the universe sent the photos, I carefully looked at the appraisal report from Sri Lanka. At first glance, the sapphire photo on the report was very similar to the Huayi one.But after a closer look, there are still some subtle differences.

After arriving at Hua Yi's house, Universe took out the appraisal report from Sri Lanka and put it in front of Hua Yi, and told her his thoughts, "Hua Yi, can you see if the sapphire on the appraisal certificate is the one you brought back? Think about whether it was weighed in front of you when you bought it, and did it leave your sight during the entire transaction process."

After hearing what Universe said, Hua Yi took out a small electronic scale from the kitchen and said to Universe: "At that time, I was in a hurry when I came back. I don't remember. Let's weigh it ourselves now."

After electronically weighing the weight, the gram of sapphire is really different from that on the identification certificate.And just when Hua Yi was desperately trying to remember when the bag was dropped, the local tour guide in Sri Lanka sent a message: Sorry Miss Hua, the store replied to me, saying that he made a mistake and would like to express it again One for you as compensation.You can send me the shipping address in China.

Although the other party took the initiative to take responsibility for the mistake, Hua Yi also sent the courier address to the other party, but she was still not very satisfied in her heart, and said to the universe angrily: "They are all liars. You can get away with it. It’s beyond my expectation that such an expensive thing dares to sell fakes. He also told me that I made a mistake, how could I make a mistake, and I can find an authentication certificate similar to the picture and give it to me. I think they did it intentionally, maybe they are in the same group. I don’t know how many Chinese people they have deceived by doing this.”

The universe said: "So this incident taught us a truth."

"What's the point?" Hua Yi looked at the universe puzzled.

"Nothing is perfect. The more perfect the greater the flaw."
