If we were to say what Yang Jing liked most, apart from those antiques, it would be these gems that are the essence of heaven and earth.
It's not that I like these gems because they are very valuable. Of course, whether it's ruby or sapphire, they are all extremely valuable gems. The title of the four major gems recognized in the world is not for nothing. If it's because of their high value, Yang Jing has things that are more valuable than this, such as glass jadeite and collection-level Hetian jade.
Yang Jing likes these rubies and sapphires because they are like energy chargers for the holy ring.
To use the martial arts training in novels as an analogy, if absorbing natural precious energy from oil fields is just ordinary martial arts breathing in and out, then these rubies and sapphires are equivalent to spirit stones that can be directly absorbed.
Now in the storage space, Yang Jing always stores some rubies and sapphires, in case there is an urgent need for energy, he can use these rubies and sapphires to quickly replenish energy without having to find oil fields to absorb it.
However, the natural treasure energy has been used quite a lot during this period, and the natural treasure energy in the rubies and sapphires stored in the space has been almost consumed. But now a large number of them have arrived, which is enough for Yang Jing to use for a while.
This kind of good thing that can replenish energy anytime and anywhere must not be missed, no doubt, take it!
There were twelve boxes left. Yang Jing opened the top box, but found that there was nothing in it except some small black boxes.
Yang Jing was also very curious about what was in these small black boxes, so he took out one and opened the nose button. He found that the small box was filled with large loose diamonds.
These diamonds are all uncut diamonds, but even if they are loose diamonds, Yang Jing can tell that the quality of these loose diamonds is very good. Although the grading of loose diamonds is not as strict as the 4C standard for finished diamonds, it must also comply with the three aspects of the 4C standard, namely carat, color and clarity.
Only when the rough diamond is top-notch in all three aspects and is combined with top-notch cutting, can a top-quality finished diamond be finally carved out.
After all, Yang Jing had experienced the baptism of top-quality diamonds, so he could certainly tell the quality of the rough diamonds in front of him.
When he went to the United States for the second time, Yang Jing got a totem pole from the Indian Mazululu at the flea market in Beaumont. As a result, he not only found a treasure map that was suspected to be the treasure of the last Russian Tsar, but also eight top-quality gems, including four top-quality diamonds.
These loose diamonds in front of us are naturally not comparable to the four top-quality loose diamonds found from the totem pole. Whether in size, clarity or color, they are far inferior to those four loose diamonds. But generally speaking, these carats of loose diamonds can be regarded as top-quality loose diamonds in the current diamond market.
Most of these loose diamonds are above two carats, and even after cutting, they can still become carat diamonds, so these loose diamonds are very valuable.
Judging from the quality of these rough diamonds, a one-carat rough diamond would cost at least over five thousand US dollars. If a rough diamond is cut into a one-carat diamond, it can easily be sold for tens of thousands of dollars.
It’s no wonder when you think about it. These rough diamonds were collected by Gaddafi and his son. Given their status and wealth, how could they collect rough diamonds of poor quality?
Yang Jing used his identification skills to check it out, and the answer given by the holy ring was indeed not simple.
These loose diamonds all come from the most famous Venetia diamond mine in South Africa, which can be said to be the diamond mine with the best quality diamonds in South Africa and even in the world.
South Africa's diamonds are world-famous, and Kimberley diamonds have long been synonymous with gem-quality diamonds. However, as a major diamond-producing country, South Africa's diamond output is not the largest in the world.
The world's largest diamond producer is Australia. The country's proven diamond reserves are 2.5 billion carats, or about 500 tons. Of these, Australia's proven diamond reserves are as high as 650 million carats, and the amount of diamonds mined in Australia each year is also the largest in the world.
However, only about 5% of the diamonds produced in Australia can reach gem quality. In other words, the annual output of gem-grade diamonds in Australia is not as much as the gem-grade diamonds produced by the Vitinia Diamond Mine.
Vitinia Diamond Light is currently the best diamond mine in the world, and half of its output is gem-grade diamonds!
This small box of gem-quality diamonds all came from the Vitinia Diamond Mine. I don't know how many tricks Gaddafi and his sons used to collect so many gem-quality diamonds.
This small box is divided into three layers, each layer has about 30 loose diamonds. At the bottom of the small box is the legal "ID card" issued by IDC, the International Diamond Council, to these loose diamonds.
Diamonds cannot be sold on the market after they are mined. Diamonds mined from mines must be certified by an authoritative organization to prove that they are legally circulated. Only with the certification issued by an authoritative organization can these diamonds enter the market openly.
Diamonds without certificates are “black” and even if they are put on the market, they are still considered smuggling.
The International Diamond Council is one of the four major diamond authorities recognized by the world. As long as these diamonds have certificates issued by the International Diamond Council, they can be put on the market at a reasonable price. The price is naturally not comparable to that of uncertified smuggled diamonds.
