Chapter 404

This is the first disc of coarse-grained concentrate that has been selected by the jig, and the particle size varies from the size of a thumb to that resembling peanuts, and the concentrate is constantly being sorted, but the disc is smaller than the other. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

If there were diamonds in this plastic pan, it would weigh more than five carats.

As for whether there is one, it depends on luck.

Chariz Theron happily took the lever, and under the guidance of Dean, the various black and brown waste rocks in the plate were removed in batches, and the useless ones were directly removed from the opening.

There are thousands of grains on a large plate, and because the stones are wet, they are relatively easy to spot if there are diamonds: the luster will be very conspicuous.

A group of people watched the girl do the work with great interest, and Chariz Theron was not slow, and there were three or four pairs of expert glasses around the workbench, and he was not afraid of missing diamonds.

Suddenly, Zhang Nan saw that the plate had collapsed due to the division of the lever, causing a thin layer of stones to collapse down, revealing a long diamond-shaped white stone about the size of a little thumb.

If that's right, it's a hairy diamond!

However, Charitz Theron was concentrating on the two dozen or so stones that had been removed in front of him, and he didn't notice that a large diamond had actually appeared, and he was still looking down to distinguish it.

Zhang Nan didn't shout, his eyes swept left and right, Dean Kitt and Brown were also smiling, and Xiang Zhangsheng on the opposite side even signaled to himself, probably reminding himself that the diamond had appeared.

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

Although this little girl looks a little taller than Xiang Zhangsheng and Brown, she is still a little girl who has not grown up.

"Wow!

The four adults waited patiently, and Chariz Theron finally found the diamond that had been exposed in the pile of stones, and she didn't even want the pick, and as soon as she threw it on the workbench, she picked up the diamond with her fingers and jumped for joy.

Well, she's just a little girl.

"Alan, I'm amazing, such a big ......"

When the little girl was almost happy, Zhang Nan said: "Let's see how heavy it is, and how good the quality is." ”

Put it on the electronic scale, 12.1 carats!

Big enough!

But it depends on the quality, and that's up to Brown: with him, the mine's graders are too embarrassed to get their hands on it.

"Barely to G color, or H after processing, clarity to VS2, shape is also good, should be able to produce a 5 carat zero point of emerald formation.

Well, a very good rough diamond. ”

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

Colorless diamonds like D and E plus flawless, top diamonds like that are too rare.

Of course, such a diamond in front of him will be a high-end product in the market, but it does not belong to Zhang Nan's collection scope.

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

"Twenty or thirty thousand dollars, the price of a rough diamond. ”

Zhang Nan knows that the finished diamond of that data in Huaxia will be at least one million yuan in 20 years, and this will be the price that Brown said is indeed the data under the most ideal conditions today, and normal transactions will have to be cut again.

It's not the retail price, it's not the Antwerp Diamond Exchange price, it's the price of the rough diamond.

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

"And how much does a flawless 10 carat diamond cost?"

"It's hard to say, if it's a colorless diamond, it's at least five or six hundred thousand, and flawless is also relative, and the top one may be nearly a million.

If the top rare color diamonds, such as the best Fancy Vivid blue diamonds, the price has risen very quickly in the past six months, maybe three or four million ......."

Brown satisfies the curiosity of the curious baby.

It's a 10-carat diamond, and if it's a larger diamond, like a yellow diamond, there's not that much difference between a yellow diamond and a colorless diamond, and it's usually only 30 or 40 percent of the difference.

"It's worth a lot of money anyway!"

The little girl was sure of this.

Chariz Theron continued to sift through the remaining half of the concentrate, but unfortunately no diamonds were found.

That's not bad, if you can find a high-value rough diamond like this in every concentrate!

The concentrate particles sent on the next tray were smaller, and the little girl lost the interest of being a worker again, so she returned the workbench to the sifter.

Everyone left this small workshop and went to see the oil paste concentrator to select fine drills, which is automation, and the size of the rough drills ranged from a few tenths to a few cents, and the surface was black.

The quality of the diamonds is only visible after the oil has been degreased, and in a few months these fine diamonds will appear in the workshops of the rudimentary diamond cutting and processing factories in India.

The mining area was also visited, and when it was time to eat, I tasted the craftsmanship of the canteen in the mining area.

Even the canteens are "black and white", and apartheid is really everywhere.

There is a small restaurant to entertain guests, and the same as those large groups and units in Huaxia later, the food is good, and it is obviously specially prepared.

After the meal, instead of returning to the manor 80 kilometers away, we will go to Petersburg to visit the jewelry factory of a friend of Dean Kitt.

As soon as he arrived at the place, Zhang Nan found that it was a processing factory, but it was actually more like a jewelry studio.

There were four or five diamond cutters, and five or six jewelers, plus the boss, more than a dozen people.

But you can't think of it as one of the little workshops of the Indians, where all the processed and custom-made diamond jewelry is high-end, large-grained diamond jewelry.

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

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

Small?

Probably only Zhang Nan would say that.

When asked how much length you need, it's also simple, there's a ready-made model here.

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

Chariz Theron was happy to make a cameo as a model, and the trial came in.

A pear-shaped diamond over ten carats does not need extra decoration at all, it is the focal point in itself.

The little girls tried it and said, "That's beautiful, Alan, how much did you spend on this diamond?"

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

There are outsiders here, and this "Rising Star" has reached an extremely rare state because of its level, and it is also well-known in the diamond circle of North South Africa, so Zhang Nan did not say the real price.

It cost him a full 800,000 US dollars, and if it was a 10-carat diamond that was just a makeshift and satisfactory to ordinary people, it would be one or two levels lower than the diamond screened by the little girl in the mine just now, or even tens of thousands of dollars.

The size of the diamond is important, but the quality is even more important, even if it is the same gem grade, the price difference is several times, or even tens or hundreds of times!

An order is placed, and three days later the factory will send someone to deliver the processed necklace to Dean Kitt's estate.

didn't say money, it is estimated that Dean had already called to explain before: if this will talk about money, it is estimated that Zhang Nan will ask the bodyguard to pay.

On the way back, Chariz Theron spent his Uncle Dean and thought that tomorrow they would go hunting together in the hunting grounds on the other side of the mountain.

"You haven't fully recovered your leg yet. ”

Uncle disagreed.

"The doctor said that if I want to exercise properly to stretch the ligaments, I will go with me to take a look, and I won't come out of the car when the time comes......"

Baskets of good words were smashed at Dean here, and Zhang Nan was glanced at with the color he longed for.

I can see what I want to say in the little girl's eyes: Brother Allen, sir, uncle, help me say good things, I really want to go......

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

Well, Chariz Theron's plot succeeded, and tomorrow everyone will have to take her oil bottle.
