Gemstones are all-encompassing.

They are subdivided into several categories: crystal, jade, pearl, gem, coral, nephrite, agate, and stone. Under these subcategories, there are many types of structures that are called gemstones.

In the gem family, all colored gemstones are called colored gemstones.

The biggest feature of colored gemstones is that they have natural colors, red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, and purple. All colors in nature can be found in gemstones, and the beauty of the colors contained in gemstones is unattainable by any other material and artificial methods (such as photography and painting).

Generally speaking, the international gem industry divides colored gemstones into two categories according to their value: "precious gemstones" and "semi-precious gemstones".

Traditionally recognized "precious gemstones" include: ruby, sapphire, emerald, cat's eye, etc. These four gemstones are collectively known as the "five rare gemstones in the world" with diamonds.

The gemstones commonly referred to as "semi-precious stones" include: amethyst, citrine, topaz, tourmaline, aquamarine, garnet, peridot, obsidian morganite, tanzanite, zircon, lapis lazuli, prehnite, moonstone, coral, opal, opal, apatite, etc.

The most common colored gemstones include crystal, agate, tourmaline, amber, etc., which are favored by many people because of their low price, good quality and suitable for decoration.

The most expensive colored gemstones, such as ruby, sapphire, emerald, cat's eye, etc., are listed as the world's five rare gemstones along with diamonds, and are loved by high-end consumers and collectors.

Like diamonds, the weight of colored gemstones such as "precious gemstones" can also be calculated in carats (also known as cards).

Under the illumination of a strong flashlight, the emerald green stone that had just been returned to Gu Hongyu partially emitted charming light, and everyone's eyes were deeply attracted by it.

"It's so beautiful, I wish I could pick it up!" Liang Qinghui murmured, his stunned look almost drooling.

Others were not much better. Gulin said from a professional perspective: "It seems that this gemstone has about 1.5 kilograms of raw material. If the raw stone is cut out, at least one kilogram of emerald can be taken out. So far, such a large piece of top-grade emerald can be called the world's first!"

"I almost dazzled you. If this gemstone is made into an ornament or decoration, its value will be even higher. Hongyu, I know a professional in this field. Otherwise, I will introduce you to a master-level figure who will guarantee that this gemstone will be worth the money." Sun Chao, who had not spoken much, spoke at this time.

"Hongyu's luck is really against the sky. No, I have to look carefully in the stream. Maybe there are other lost gems in this stream!" Chen Ming turned his head and pointed the strong light of the flashlight at the stream.

A word awakened the dreamer.

Since Gu Hongyu could find this priceless treasure in the stream, it must mean that there are gemstones distributed upstream of the stream. Another possibility is that there are gemstone deposits in the cave where they are.

Acting separately, even Chen Luofeng is no exception.

No one can resist money. If you find a gemstone like the one Gu Hongyu picked up, it will be worth hundreds of millions of yuan. If you don't want to be tempted, you are simply not a human living on the earth.

They tacitly divided their respective treasure hunting areas. The location where Gu Hongyu picked up the gemstone raw material has been divided up by everyone. After getting such a gemstone, Gu Hongyu did not compete with everyone. He slowly walked to a platform in the stream and looked at the busy figures in the stream.

Maybe there are minerals such as crystals around this stream. Soon, Luo Yu, who didn't say much, picked up a stone that was larger than Gu Hongyu. When the flashlight shone on it, it also emitted beautiful refracted light.

"Damn, Luo Yu is so lucky." Liang Qinghui lost his patience after searching for a while without finding anything. Seeing the situation on Luo Yu's side, he immediately ran over.

With him leading the way, the others also gathered around.

The stone in Luo Yu's hand was transparent and looked like a piece of special-shaped glass. It was indeed much larger than Gu Hongyu's. If it was an ordinary stone, it would probably weigh five pounds.

"What color is this?" Liang Qinghui fully demonstrated the spirit of asking if he didn't understand.

"Of course it's transparent. Haven't you seen jade that is colorless and transparent? This level of jade was not liked by anyone before, but due to the scarcity of jade raw materials, colorless and transparent jade immediately attracted the attention of mainstream people. The price has been rising all the way. Such a large piece of gem is probably not much less valuable than Xiao Gu's piece, right?" The speaker was Chen Ming, who was also half-baked at this. Now he also wanted to show off in front of everyone.

However, Gu Lin and Chen Luofeng walked over and looked at the stone in Luo Yu's hand and shook their heads.

Liang Qinghui, who discovered this, couldn't help but ask: "Brother Feng, Gulin, why are you all shaking your heads? This big stone is almost twice as big as Hongyu's. Just now you said his is already a priceless treasure, isn't this one worth more?"

"Haha, gems don't just rely on size to win!" Gulin smiled.

Chen Luofeng continued: "Besides, what you said is still based on gems."

"Why, such a beautiful stone is not a gem?"

"Then what is this..."

"How much is this thing worth?"

"..."

"You tell me!" Chen Luofeng said to Gulin with a smile.

Gu Lin did not hesitate and immediately solved everyone's doubts: "Who told you this is a gem? This stone is just crystal, the most common transparent colorless crystal."

"Oh, I was so happy for Luo Yu in vain, and the result is a piece of crystal!" Liang Qinghui immediately changed his mind.

"That's right, I asked you why those rare gems appear so easily!" Chen Ming actually echoed.

Luo Yu's face also looked very regretful. He originally thought that his fortune would turn around, but he didn't want to pick up something from Xibei. After losing face in front of everyone, he held the crystal in his hands and planned to throw it into the creek again.

Chen Luofeng immediately stopped him: "What are you throwing away? Although this thing is a very ordinary crystal, it has good permeability and is quite big. Although this piece is not very valuable, it is still worth tens of thousands of yuan. You just threw it away?”

"Ah, this crystal is worth tens of thousands?" Liang Qinghui, who was leaving, immediately turned around and said in surprise.

"Who told you to be impatient? Although crystals are common, they have different qualities. This crystal is really good as an ornament. It is not impossible to make hundreds of thousands of crystals!" Gu Lin hit Liang Qinghui again.

"I'll go for it. If that's the case, then I'll go look for it in the stream again!" After saying that, Liang Qinghui jumped back to the creek area he was responsible for to search.

Soon, shouts came one after another in the creek.

Many people have found beautiful stones, large and small, but none of them are too big. The largest one is less than a pound, and the smallest one is only slightly larger than a thumb.

After Gu Lin and Chen Luofeng identified the stones that were picked up, most of them were crystals, and most of them were colorless and transparent crystals. Luo Yu was lucky enough to find a bright yellow crystal again. Although The size is only larger than a baby's fist, but the value is no less than the first piece he found.

"Haha, I also found a piece!" Liang Qinghui was able to hold back his energy in the creek. His fellow cave explorers all found more or less gems and crystals, but he was the only one who hadn't opened up yet!

"Old Liang, you're not blinded by this, and you mistake ordinary stones for crystal gems!" Gu Lin said jokingly.

"Bring it here and I'll keep it secret for you first so that you won't be hit again!" Chen Ming took the initiative to ask for an appraisal.

Under Liang Qinghui's expectant gaze, Chen Ming suddenly shouted: "Holy crap, this is actually a ruby. Come and take a look!"

Many people rushed over after hearing the news. Chen Luofeng took the gem in Chen Ming's hand and observed it carefully. After a while, he nodded and said: "This is really a ruby, but the quality is a little bit worse. I have to say that I am lucky!" "

"How much is it worth?" This is what Liang Qinghui wants to know most now.

Everyone laughed kindly.

Chen Luofeng coughed and said slowly: "This is just a raw ruby. If it is extracted, it may only be the size of a matchbox. According to the quality of this ruby, it can cost up to 300 yuan per carat, and it can still be sold for tens of thousands!"

"It's tens of thousands, not bad, not bad. Someone was mocking me just now, looking like a master of appraisal, but he only picked up a few ordinary crystals..."

A paragraph of words repaid Gu Lin's blow just now. Although Gu Lin had a certain ability to identify treasures, the situation was pressing. At this moment, he had to avoid it temporarily and lowered his head to search in his area.

Immediately afterwards, everyone still discovered beautiful stones in the river one after another. Although many of them were crystals, they were not discouraged because everyone believed that there would be gems in the stream. They were lying quietly in the stream. Discovery awaits underneath.

Gu Hongyu held the emerald in his hand and did not go into the water to look for it with the others. He thought that these young men were just curious and would stop and continue exploring the cave in a short time. However, he never thought that these people also have an innocent and childish side. Lai stayed in the stream for more than half an hour and never came out.

There seemed to be no danger in the river section. Several people took off and put on slightly clumsy protective clothing to facilitate activities in the water.

"Hongyu, why are you standing here? Come down and look for it. You have the best luck here. You might even find a more precious gem!" Liang Qinghui found a gem and was now confident.

Others also said: "Hongyu, come down quickly, we are too embarrassed to continue while you are standing!"

"That's right, it's so boring to be alone. Come down and accompany us and bring me some good luck!"

At the mention of it by everyone, Gu Hongyu's heart suddenly moved and he had already walked towards the stream with one leg.
