From the Island Owner to the King

DAY 86 The Treasures of Nature

boom!

As soon as Chen Rui's words fell, the treasure house was like a cup of cold water poured into a hot oil pan, which exploded and everyone boiled.

Everyone stared at the 'Star of America' in Chen Rui's hand, without blinking, with obsessive eyes.

Such a huge, pure and flawless diamond, shining with dazzling light, is simply the most precious treasure given to mankind by nature. Anyone who sees such a treasure will show obsessed eyes.

There are no good words in the world to describe this diamond.

Simply beautiful, nature's rose treasure.

"Oh, mygod, it's so beautiful that there are no words to describe its beauty."

"The 'Cullinan' diamond's title as the world's largest diamond for more than a century has given way to this 4,207-carat 'Star of the Americas'. It’s more than 1,000 carats, and the diamonds are of the best quality, pure and dazzling, unparalleled. It’s priceless and unparalleled in the world.”

"Yeah, I'm sure that the news of the birth of the 'American Star' will reach Europe tomorrow, and the royal family in Europe will be crazy about it."

"If this diamond appeared in ancient times, it is very likely that there would have been a large-scale war over this diamond."

"Rui, can you let me touch it." A historian from Sweden, Rick Klama, kept his eyes fixed on the diamond in Chen Rui's palm, with an obsessed expression in his eyes, and asked Chen Rui.

"Of course." Chen Rui said.

Chen Rui placed the diamond on a white silk cloth on the table next to him.

Rick Kramer swallowed his saliva vigorously, with a clear swallowing movement in his throat, carefully picked up the diamond, and faced the light of the underground treasure house. Under the light of the diamond light, it emitted pale cyan phosphorescence, dazzling.

"It's so beautiful." Rick Gullama murmured, "I can't use any words of praise."

Rick Gulamay reluctantly put down the diamond.

Diamonds are placed on silk cloth.

Everyone takes turns enjoying.

This diamond is huge, pure and flawless. Under the illumination of the light, it is dazzling, giving people a great sense of beauty and shock.

It had a huge impact on the hearts of everyone present.

Everyone is thinking that in the future, all diamonds in the world, including the Cullinan diamonds, can no longer be given the modifier "perfect" to them. Because no matter how perfect a diamond is in the face of the world's largest, pure and flawless, dazzling colorless diamond, it becomes imperfect.

This perfect diamond is only worthy of its Diamond Supreme status when set on a crown or scepter.

Chen Rui put the diamond in a box and restrained its dazzling light.

Everyone's eyes returned to clarity.

At this time, someone found a stone lump in the corner of the treasure house.

The lumps are packed in a large wooden box.

The stone lumps are very large, round, without edges and corners, and the surface is covered with pits of different sizes and depths.

"Is this... a meteorite?" a white scholar asked uncertainly.

Soon, everyone gathered in front of the stone lump.

The crowd happened to have a long-term expert on meteorites, Dougson Berg.

Dougson Berg carefully observed the lump, and said to everyone, "This is indeed a meteorite, a visitor from outside the sky.

As you can see, there is a thin layer of fusion crust on the surface of this stone, which is due to the high temperature generated by the friction between the meteorite and the atmosphere during the landing process, causing the surface to melt. After finishing speaking, Dougson pointed to some traces of handprints on the surface of the meteorite that looked like finger-pressed handprints, and said, "This is an airmark. Due to the interaction between the meteorite and the atmospheric flow, many airmarks will be left on the surface of the meteorite. .

Fusion crust and air imprint are the two most important features to identify meteorites, and can also be identified by internal metal, magnetism, chondrules, and specific gravity. "

"Who brought the magnet." Dougson looked up at everyone and said.

"I just brought a magnet with me, and I forgot to put it back when I was doing research." A Japanese and Japanese scholar took a magnet from his pocket and handed it to Dougson, said.

Dougson took the magnet, attached it to the meteorite, and the magnet stuck to the meteorite.

Dougson Berg took off the magnet, attached it, took it off again, repeated it several times, and tested the magnetism of the meteorite with his touch.

"Magnetism is not very strong."

Dougson concluded, "Through my surface observations and magnetic tests of this meteorite, it should be a stony meteorite."

After finishing speaking, Dougson briefly introduced the classification of meteorites to everyone.

Meteorites are usually divided into three categories according to the level of iron and nickel metal content in them; stony-iron meteorites, iron meteorites, and stony meteorites.

The rarest of these are stony-iron meteorites, which make up only 1% of the total fall record.

The rarity is followed by iron meteorites, which account for 6% of the total fall record.

The largest and most common are stony meteorites. Among the meteorites observed to fall, 93% are stony meteorites.

"Although this meteorite is the most common and common stony meteorite, its size is very large and very precious. If I want to sell it to me, I can pay 450,000 US dollars." Dougson Berg said Chen Rui said.

Chen Rui shook his head and refused to sell the meteorite.

"That's a shame." Dougson had no intention of paying more than $450,000 for the meteorite.

"Rui, how heavy is this meteorite." A scholar asked Chen Rui.

Chen Rui said with a smile, "This meteorite is oval in shape. I have measured it. Its longest diameter is 3.11 meters, its shortest diameter is 2.57 meters, and its weight reaches 42.13 tons. It should be regarded as the third largest meteorite in the world."

At this time, Dougson said, "If you have the title of the third largest meteorite in the world, the price will be higher, I will add 100,000 US dollars, plus 550,000 US dollars, if you can come up with the truth about this meteorite. If the witness records prove it, I can add to $6 million."

If there are real witness records of this meteorite, the price has been directly doubled on the basis of 550,000 US dollars.

Chen Rui said, "People from ancient times have witnessed it and left a record of mural sightings."

Dougson raised the price again. "Are there any photos or videos of real mural sightings? If there is, I can pay $7.5 million."

Meteorites are associated with murals of ancient people, which greatly increases the value of meteorites.

"If it can be determined that this meteorite is a lunar meteorite or a Martian meteorite, it will be even more expensive, and it is not impossible to double it dozens of times."
