Chapter 902: Surprising Discovery
In the mine cave with no visible ceiling, the cheetah gripped the edge of the rock platform with its claws, and as it lowered its head, a long shadow fell beneath it.
The explorers in the mine held up torches to dispel the surrounding darkness. At the edge of the aperture, where light and dark intersected, two skeletons that had decayed into white bones were revealed.
A leather bag with a broken elastic band fell in front of the bones, and dozens of broken diamonds slipped out of the opening, flashing extremely dazzlingly in the light.
Perhaps the light was too dazzling, causing people in the dark to squint their eyes.
At this moment, I wonder how many viewers rubbed their eyes, wanting to see whether the scene in front of them was true or false, real or imaginary.
Bifang took two steps forward, knelt on one knee, reached out to pick up the broken elastic rope, and pulled up the entire leather bag.
He found that although the leather bag was only the size of a palm, it was quite heavy and there was obviously a lot of stuff inside.
It was this action that caused a few broken diamonds to fall from the mouth of the leather bag into the dust. Even though they were covered by thick dust, they still could not conceal the radiating colorful light.
Such a scene could not help but make the knowledgeable Bifang gasp.
Could there be a whole bag of diamonds in there?
It was not until this moment that the audience completely believed that the scene before their eyes was actually happening in a corner of the earth!
[Oh my god, I made a fortune! ]
【Is there anyone who is good enough to tell me?】
[It must be a staged photo! ]
[Coach, I report that someone is cheating! ]
[If it is not closed, it is open? 】
[Not open means open? 】
[Report your address immediately! I want to pick up diamonds too! ]
[These bags are all dug out from the mine? ]
Bifang shook his head: "It can't be dug out, natural diamonds don't have this shape."
Diamonds dug out of nature cannot be so dazzling. Even if they are very pure and have the same shape as ordinary stones, their refraction rate is limited.
This is why the shapes of diamonds are basically fixed, with the same number and angle of facets, in order to better reflect the light reflected by the diamond and make it look more radiant under the light source.
The diamonds that fell to the ground were almost all round diamonds that had been cut and processed, so it was impossible for them to be dug directly from the mine.
Diamonds can't grow like this naturally.
Bifang poured all the contents of the leather bag into his palm. As the audience saw it clearly, they took another breath of cool air.
There were so many diamonds in the leather bag that one hand couldn't even hold them all. The size of the diamonds was astonishing, with the largest diameter of each diamond being more than five millimeters.
What’s even more amazing is that there is an uncut pink diamond inside.
This pink diamond is as big as Bifang’s index finger!
【Pink diamond!!! 】
【So big? 】
[The posing is a bit outrageous]
[What about posing for photos? Can you pose for one? ]
[Simple bad breath, ultimate enjoyment]
[I am going to explode, my scalp is numb, is this really something that can be found during an expedition?]
[Explosion]
The news about pink diamond attracted a large number of onlookers, and the background messages were jumping like bombers.
When Bifang saw this pink diamond, his eyebrows couldn't help but twitch. He felt his blood vessels suddenly swell up, and his blood was surging wildly under the beating of his heart.
Carat is the unit of weight of diamonds. One carat is equal to 0.2 grams. The carat of this pink diamond the size of your index finger is conservatively estimated to be above 25...
The production of pink diamonds is extremely rare, and the world's top pink diamonds are even rarer.
Although Bifang did not pay attention to gem knowledge, he was well-informed and remembered roughly that a 5-carat but less than 6-carat gem was sold for more than one million U.S. dollars at a Christie's auction, and those above 10 carats were sold for no less than 20 million U.S. dollars.
However, all the diamonds auctioned are cut, and diamond cutting consumes a lot of materials. For example, the famous Steinmetz pink diamond weighed 132.5 carats in the original stone, but after cutting it only weighed 59.6 carats, which is more than half less.
The normal cutting loss rate of diamonds is generally above 65%.
The shape of this one is not very good right now. After cutting, there may be twelve or thirteen pieces left, which is quite amazing.
Of course, the value of a diamond cannot be judged solely by its size, but also by its color and transparency. Bifang is a little confused. He doesn't know what grade the diamond in his hand is, but he can tell from its transparency that it is not low.
The minimum price for a whole pink diamond is 10 million Ugly Dollars.
Perhaps all the other diamonds in this leather bag combined are not as valuable as the pink diamond in your hand.
Am I so lucky?
The torches were still burning, making slight noises.
Bifang raised his head, looked at the light that lit up in the darkness, saw the cheetah lying beside him, then lowered his head again, staring at the two skeletons beside him, and the most important thing was the bag of diamonds in his hand.
A fifty-meter-high platform, a diamond mine, a bag of extremely high-quality diamonds, and the skeletons of two people who had been dead for many years.
I can imagine a sitcom that lasts at least half an hour!
[Please write a short story of no less than 800 words within 40 minutes about two corpses, a bag of diamonds, and a mine pit]
[Blind guessing means mutual destruction]
The news of Bifang's discovery of the pink diamond quickly sparked heated discussions on the Langya platform, sucking away all traffic almost instantly, and continued to spread and shock outside the circle.
It will probably be on the hot search headlines of various portal websites in less than half an hour.
[Really? I heard the anchor found a gem? ]
【One glance at the truth】
[Is your pink diamond ripe?]
[Prince Mu gave the anchor a yacht *1.0 - everyone who sees it gets a share]
[Lin Chang presents the anchor with a spaceship *1.0—everyone who sees it gets one]
[666, anyone who sees it gets one bonus]
[I heard that the first pink diamond in South Africa was accidentally picked up by a child. ]
[Pink Diamond Eureka was discovered by a 15-year-old boy named Daniel in 1866. He thought it was a beautiful stone at the time, until it attracted the attention of his neighbors, who thought it was a diamond and wanted to buy it, but Daniel's family refused to accept it.]
[The stone was then taken to Cape Town by John Robert for certification, and it was finally confirmed to be a diamond. He named the diamond "Eureka", which means "I found it". ]
There are a large number of people in Bifang's live broadcast room, and there is always no shortage of professionals in various fields.
Whenever there was a question, someone gave a very professional response.
Sometimes even Bifang himself feels that he has learned something new, and then the memory forest automatically takes effect, memorizing every word of the knowledge.
[Damn it, why can’t I pick it up? Damn it]
[My teeth are broken by jealousy]
[Luckier than shit luck]
Compared with the previous several clearing paths, the huge pits densely packed like honeycombs are the real diamond pits that have been dug out.
But now with this bag of ready-made high-quality diamonds, there is no need to explore the numerous mines nearby. These are the most valuable things, far beyond the reach of those magazine stones.
Bifang poured the diamonds in his palm back into the leather bag, then gathered all the broken diamonds scattered on the ground, put them in his hand, blew away the dust, and poured them all into the bag.
Then he took out another piece of thin rope, tied the bag together, and gathered it around him.
Although the elastic band is broken, the leather bag itself is still of good quality.
Bifang stood up, brushed off the dust on his knees, came to the two white bones, and wiped away the remaining dust with the tip of his shoe. He could clearly see that the remaining rocks were darker in color, which were obviously dried blood.
Upon seeing this, Bifang shook his head, wrapped the two corpses in their respective clothes , carried them on his back, rubbed a handful of lime on his hands, and prepared to take them out of the cave and bury them.
No matter what happened in the first place, this bag of diamonds is definitely inseparable from the two people in front of him. Taking them out and burying them would be considered to be doing justice to the bag of diamonds.
