Chapter 161 This Stone Is A Little Rich

Hu Tu didn't expect to win so soon. He also watched the chess game just now and thought it would take a little more time!Then he turned his head and glanced in the direction of the powder stone machine. He felt that it would take a lot of time to hear the sound, so he didn't refuse.

Wang Pinqiu, who was watching, was a little surprised by this.Seeing Hu Tu win like this, it feels a little unreal.She originally thought that Hu Tu would lose, but she still thought that it would be better not to lose too badly.But he didn't think that he not only won, but also won so neatly.As if she had found a surprise, she exclaimed: "Okay, I didn't expect you to be so good at chess? I don't know what else you can do."

"It's not very good, I just know a little bit." Hu Tu's words were almost self-effacing, but Master He couldn't help beating his beard and staring at the loser. Listening to him continue, "I used to play chess at school. The kind that was hanged and beaten by Brother Tao."

"Chen Guotao, he can also play chess?" Wang Pinqiu was surprised.Although she doesn't know much about chess, she can tell that Hu Tu's chess skills should be pretty good. Could it be that Chen Guotao's chess skills are so high that he can beat Hu Tu?Isn't that professional level.She couldn't help asking suspiciously, "Is he so good at chess?"

And when she asked this question, Master He also listened with his ears open. Master He cared a lot about chess news.

"No." Hu Tu smiled, "I kept losing when I was in school. But I played chess with him a while ago, and I kept winning."

Master He and Wang Pinqiu both heaved a sigh of relief.This is not surprising, if a young man is so good at chess, then Master He's chess skills for so many years are really useless.

Come on again.Master He learned his lesson and concentrated on the chess game, cautiously, like walking on thin ice.But his level is there, no matter how serious he is, he can't compare to the mobile phone program, and failure will happen sooner or later.

Seeing his own soldiers and horses being exhausted, and the old general being attacked by all sides, that chess was aggrieved.Master He admitted the loss, but he was not reconciled. He pushed the chessboard, ready to start over: "One more game."

At this time, He Yalong, who had been waiting beside him for a long time, said, "Master, can you stop for a moment. The stone has been powdered, let Xiao Hu follow me to check for diamonds."

"That's it." Master He sighed, but he also knew that he had to do business now, and said, "Okay, after watching it, we have to play another game. This time, I must win you." Thinking that I can Winning is the mentality of people who have lost miserably. He is almost seventy years old, but he still cares about winning or losing a game of chess.

The stones in the powder stone machine have been turned into powder, and there is a foul smell when it is opened.After waiting for a while, Hu Tu waved his hand while poking his head out to look in. There were chunks of unbroken diamonds.

Hu Tu saw a crystal the size of the knuckle of a little finger, picked it up carefully with two fingers, and looked at it under the sunlight, but found nothing.It feels like a piece of glass slag, and it feels rough in the hand.He picked it up and handed it to Wang Pinqiu, and asked, "Pinqiu, is this a diamond?"

"Of course it's a diamond, and it's a gem-quality diamond of good quality." Wang Pinqiu quickly made a judgment, her voice slightly excited. Although she had seen a lot of diamond jewelry, but seeing them so closely It was collected for the first time.Then she said eagerly, "Look quickly, see if there is any more in it, such a big rough diamond is worth a lot of money."

Wang Pinqiu is not a money fan, but today's riches really surprised her. She really wants to know how many diamonds are in that stone.

Pour out the ashes in the machine and put them on a special ultra-fine mesh sieve to remove the dust and leave diamonds.Hey, there are quite a few of them. I counted them, and there are 20 in total.They are not big, most of them are ultra-small diamonds the size of a sesame seed, while the big ones are the size of a knuckle, and the largest one is as big as a thumb, but the color is not very good.

Wang Pinqiu liked these rough diamonds very much, she looked at them one by one, and then pointed to two medium-sized diamonds and said. "Of these few diamonds, only these two can be regarded as gem-quality diamonds, and the others are more industrial-grade diamonds. Although there are many of them and they are heavy, in terms of value, the sum of them cannot compare to the value of these two diamonds." One tenth. In fact, the value of gem-quality diamonds is also different. Do you know the grading standards of diamonds?"

Seeing Hu Tu shaking her head, she gave a brief introduction:

The value of diamonds is high, so grading is also very complicated.There are four main criteria to measure the rarity and quality of a diamond, namely weight, clarity, color and cut, which are commonly referred to as "4C standards".Established by the Gemological Institute of America, this standard is currently the most mainstream diamond evaluation standard in the world, including China.

The standard to measure the beauty of diamonds is called beauty.The beauty of a diamond depends on the light effect.The light effect of diamonds is identified from three indicators, Brilliance (white light), Fire (color light) and Sparkle (sparkle).The higher a diamond's rating for brightness, fire and scintillation, the more beautiful and radiant the diamond.

Then Wang Pinqiu made a rough judgment: "So these two gem-quality diamonds, the smaller one can be sold for about 6 to [-] yuan after processing, and the larger one may be worth more than [-] yuan. Your luck is really good. "

"There's still half of it." Hu Tu couldn't help but put the rest of the stones into the machine quickly. Hearing the machine's rumbling and stirring, he raised his brows and his mind was turbulent. I don't even have any intention of playing chess.Fortunately, Master He didn't mention playing chess at the moment.

The diamonds in the remaining half of the stone are much less than the first one, only seven, but there are no such small particles, and there are as many as three gem-quality diamonds.They are all larger than the previous ones, and one of them stands out, which is also two-thirds the size of a thumb.

"That's right, that's good. The diamonds in your stone are really rich. Even if you gamble on stones, it's a big win." He Yalong took out the gems and said, "I reckoned about your diamonds, so I sold them directly. , I’m afraid it can sell for at least 100 million. Come on, wash and dry the diamonds first, and I’ll weigh them.”

这批钻石共28颗，其中宝石级5颗，重量从低到高分别是121克拉、1.92克拉、2.62克拉、3.06克拉和4.97克拉，加起来共13.78克拉。而剩下的那些工业级钻石加起来共32.55克拉。

From this, it can be calculated that the probability of producing gem-quality diamonds from this Kimberlite rock is about 30%, which is quite good in China.

As for the value, the 4.97-carat gem-quality diamond alone is worth 60 million. He Yalong's valuation of one million is indeed a bit conservative.
