The Treasure Hunt of an Antique Dealer

This is the first plate of coarse-grained concentrate selected by a jig machine. The particle size ranges from the size of a thumb to similar to peanuts. The concentrate will be continuously selected, but one plate will be smaller than one plate. .

If there are diamonds in this plastic platter, the weight will be more than five carats.

As for whether there is, it depends on luck.

Charlize Theron happily took over the lever, and under Dean's guidance, the various black and brown waste stones in the plate were removed in batches, and the useless ones were directly removed from the opening.

There are thousands of grains in a large plate, because the stones are soaked in water, so if there are diamonds, it is relatively easy to be seen: the luster will be very conspicuous.

A group of people watched the girl doing the work enthusiastically, Charlize Theron was not slow, and there were three or four pairs of expert glasses staring around the workbench, and they were not afraid to miss the diamonds.

Suddenly, Zhang Nan saw that a thin layer of piled up stones collapsed due to the division of the lever in the plate, resulting in a long diamond-shaped white stone about the size of a pinky finger.

If it is correct, it is a rough diamond!

But this would mean that Charlize-Theron was focusing on dealing with the twenty-odd stones that were removed in front of him. He didn't notice that a large diamond had actually appeared, and he was still carefully distinguishing it with his head down.

Zhang Nan didn't shout out, and glanced left and right. Dean Kit and Brown also smiled at this meeting. Xiang Zhangsheng on the opposite side gestured to himself, probably reminding himself: diamonds have appeared.

Well, the four adults have already discovered the diamond, but they all want to leave the joy of finding the diamond to the little girl who is still working hard.

Although this little girl looked a little taller than Xiang Zhangsheng and Brown, she was still a little girl who had not grown up.

"Wow! Diamond!"

Four adults were waiting patiently. This Charlize-Theron finally found the diamond exposed from the pile of stones. He didn't even need the picks. He dropped it on the workbench, grabbed the diamond with his fingers, and jumped happily. Up.

Well, she is still a little girl.

"Ellen, I'm good, such a big one!..."

When the little girl was almost happy, Zhang Nan said, "Look at how much it weighs and how it is of quality."

Put a scale on the electronic scale, 12.1 carats!

Big enough!

But it still depends on the quality, which is left to Brown: with him, the graders in this mine are embarrassed to get started.

"It can barely reach the g color, or it may be h after processing, the clarity can reach Vs2, and the shape is also good. It should be able to produce a 5 carat zero emerald.

Well, a very good rough diamond. "

This is pretty good, but Zhang Nan can't see what color it has anyway.

Colorless diamonds of the d and e grades are added to the flawless grade, and such top diamonds are too rare.

Of course, such diamonds will be high-end products in the market, but they are not part of Zhang Nan's collection.

At this point, Charlize Theron asked curiously: "Uncle Brown, how much is that worth?"

"Twenty to thirty thousand dollars, the price of rough diamonds."

Zhang Nan knows that in China, the polished diamonds of that data will be at least one million yuan in 20 years later, and the price that Brown said is indeed the data under the most ideal conditions, and normal transactions have to be cut.

Not the retail price, nor the price of the Andwerp Diamond Exchange, but the price of this rough diamond.

But for the little girl, this number is already exaggerated.

"Then how much does a perfect 10 carat diamond cost?"

"It's hard to tell. If it is a colorless diamond, it will be at least five or six hundred thousand, and flawless is also relative. The top one may be close to one million.

If the top rare color diamonds, such as the best Fancy Vivid blue diamonds, the price has risen rapidly in the past six months, it may cost three or four million..."

Brown satisfied the curiosity of the curious baby.

This is a ten-carat diamond. If it is a larger diamond, such as a yellow diamond and a colorless diamond, there will not be such a big difference. Generally, the price difference is only 30 to 40%.

"It's very valuable anyway!"

This little girl can be sure in her heart.

Charlize Theron continued to screen the remaining half of the concentrate, but unfortunately no diamonds were found.

This is pretty good, if only one such high-value rough diamond can be found in every plate of concentrate, it would be a ghost!

The next batch of concentrate particles will be smaller. The little girl has no interest in being a worker anymore, so she returned the workbench to the screener.

Everyone left this small workshop and went to see the ointment concentrator to select fine drills. This is automation. The rough drills that came out ranged from a few minutes to a few minutes, and the surface was dark.

The top is stained with oil, and the quality can only be seen after the oil is removed, and these fine diamonds will appear in the workshops of the rudimentary diamond cutting and processing plants in India in a few months.

I also visited the mining area. When it was time for dinner, I tasted the craftsmanship of the canteen in the mining area.

Even the cafeteria are "separated from black and white", and apartheid is really everywhere.

There was a small restaurant to entertain guests, just like those large groups and units of China Later, the food was good, obviously it was specially prepared.

After the meal, I will not return to the manor 8o kilometers away. I will first go to Petersburg and go to the jewelry processing factory of the friend of Dean Kitt.

Once there, Zhang Nan said that it was a processing factory, but it was actually more like a jewelry studio.

There are four or five diamond cutters, five or six jewellery processors, plus the boss, there are more than ten people.

But you can't think of it as the small workshops of Indians. All processed and customized here are high-end, large-grained diamond ornaments.

The boss asked about the style to be processed, Zhang Nan took the necklace reference book directly, pointed to one of the simplest ones and said: "That's it."

It's really simple, a thin platinum necklace with a small "star of tomorrow" inlaid on the pendant head.

Small?

Probably only Zhang Nan would say that.

It’s easy to ask how much length is needed. Here is a ready-made model.

"Charlie, do me a favor and try the length of the necklace."

Charlize Theron is happy to be a guest model, and the effect of this trial came out.

A pear-shaped diamond of more than ten carats does not need extra decoration at all~www.wuxiaspot.com~ it is the focal point in itself.

After trying the effect, the little girl said: "It's so beautiful! Ellen, how much did you spend on this diamond?"

"It's a friendly price, less than a million dollars."

There are outsiders, and because this "star of tomorrow" has reached an extremely rare state, it is also considered a small name in the diamond circle of northern South Africa, and Zhang Nan didn't say the actual price.

It cost him a full 80,000 US dollars. If it is a 10 carat diamond that is just a good grade and satisfies ordinary people, it is one or two grades lower than the diamond selected by the girl in the mine just now That kind, even tens of thousands of dollars can be done.

Diamond size is important, but quality is even more important. Even if it is a gemstone, the price difference is several times, even tens or hundreds of times!

After placing the order, the factory will send someone to deliver the processed necklace to Dean Kitt’s manor in three days.

I didn't say the money, I guess Dean had already called to explain it before: If this is about money, it is estimated that Zhang Nan will let the bodyguard pay.

On the return journey, Charlize Theron consumed his Uncle Dean, thinking about going to the hunting ground on the other side of the mountain tomorrow.

"Your leg hasn't fully recovered yet."

Uncle disagreed.

"The doctor said, if I need to exercise to stretch the ligament properly, I'll go and have a look. I won't be able to get out in the car then..."

Here, a basket of good things smashed at Dean, and the other side looked at Zhang Nan with the color of desire.

You can tell from the little girl's eyes: Brother Allen, Mr., Uncle, please help me with something nice, I really want to go...

Zhang Nan couldn't hold it, so he had to speak: "Dean, look at this..."

Yes, Charlize Theron finally succeeded in the conspiracy. Tomorrow everyone has to take her oil bottle. 8
