Text Chapter 1155 Material Selection
"Xiao Peng, are you okay?" In Xiao Peng's studio, Yang Meng looked at Xiao Peng with a nervous expression.
Xiao Peng happened to be irritable, listened to Yang Meng's words, stood up and looked Yang Meng up and down. Yang Meng made Xiao Peng look inexplicable.
I saw Xiao Peng pull Yang Meng to the door, open the door directly, raise a foot and kick Yang Meng out, and the door was closed again.
And in Xiao Peng's small courtyard, there was now a group of people standing, watching Yang Meng kick out, and everyone looked at each other.
Yang Meng scolded and stood up from the ground, looked up and saw Sun Pengcheng, turned around and kicked Sun Pengcheng's ass again: "I'll let you make trouble! I'll let you make trouble!"
Sun Pengcheng let Yang Meng chase after him all over the garden: "Mengzi, if you have something to say, this matter is not bad for me!"
In the end, it was my mother who spoke: "Mengzi, stop and stop." Is he alright?"
Yang Meng said: "What can he do? Speaking of which, blame Sun Pengcheng, if you don't come sooner or later, you come now!"
Sun Pengcheng looked aggrieved and muttered: "Can I be blamed for this? I don't know who Xiao Peng is working for." β
"!" Yang Meng was angry when he heard this, and he wanted to chase after Sun Pengcheng again.
Mom coughed dryly: "It's okay to disperse." Someone his age knows what to do. β
Bloomberg said to Xiao's father: "Xiao, I really want to apologize for thisγγγγγγ β
Father Xiao smiled and waved his hand after knowing what Bloomberg meant: "It's okay, it's okay, Mengzi is also my godson, and your daughter is also my daughter-in-law, this young man's affairs are still left to the young man to do by himself." My wife is right, he's such a big guy and knows what he does. It's all gone!"
When my mother left, she didn't forget to instruct: "Mengzi, don't bully your little grandson!"
Sun Pengcheng was about to cry, where did he not bully others by himself? Why did he become bullied when he arrived at Qianliyan?
Yang Meng glared at Sun Pengcheng and pulled Georgina away.
Georgina really doesn't fit in here.
As soon as Xiao Peng agreed to transform Georgina's mobile phone, Sun Pengcheng brought the treasures that Xiao Peng brought back from Colombia.
There are a lot of rough gemstones here, such as emeralds, aquamarines, tourmalines, topazes, opals, agate, etc., Xiao Peng also became interested and decided to use these rough gemstones to transform Georgina's mobile phone.
At first, he thought it was very simple, after all, he had made a phone case out of abalone shells, and he was also experienced. As a result, I didn't expect things to be more troublesome than Xiao Peng thought.
If you make a mobile phone case, you only need to make a shell of the same size as the mobile phone shell, but it will be a big trouble to transform the mobile phone, not to mention removing the original shell, but also to consider not affecting the function of the mobile phone; but also to take into account the internal space heat dissipation and other problems, such as Huawei MATE20 wireless fast charging function can not be used if the shell is changed; and the mobile phone screen should be tightly stuck in the mobile phone screen, which requires extremely fine manual work.
Of course, this is not a problem for Xiao Peng, and the biggest problem is that Xiao Peng is guilty of choice phobia: what kind of material is suitable for what look?
It's a waste of brain cells for him to transform his mobile phone for this in the past few days. Made a bunch of none of them that satisfied him. In Yang Meng's words------ he was fascinated, and he had been holding back in his room for three days, no wonder everyone was worried.
He took a look at the designs of foreign mobile phone modification designers, and almost all of them were carved out of a mold: the shell was made of precious metal, and then it was inlaid with diamonds and gemstones, Xiao Peng didn't want to do this: the first is too vulgar, the second is γγγγγγ Xiao Peng has never been a fan of diamonds.
70% of the world's rough diamonds are concentrated in De Beers, the remaining 25% in Alrosa in the bear country, and the rest are controlled by other diamond dealers, who also control the price of diamonds for their own benefit. At that time, Sergei of Xiong Guo gave Xiao Peng a bag of diamonds, which was 'kept by his mother for him'.
Speaking of which, both De Beers and Alrosa hate Huaxia.
It is true that there is no large output of natural diamonds, but Huaxia can produce man-made diamonds! At present, eighty percent of the diamonds in the world are actually 'man-made diamonds' produced in China. The technology of man-made diamonds in China is maturing day by day, and a large number of finished products are entering the market, these man-made diamonds are exactly the same as natural diamonds, and if you really want to distinguish between good artificial diamonds and natural diamonds, it is really difficult to do it with the naked eye and experience alone----- unless you do carbon-14 age identification, the diamond itself contains carbon-14.
As a simple example, Paris Hilton, a famous celebrity of the Stars and Stripes, tore off with her boyfriend because of a 22-carat diamond ring. The general reason is that his boyfriend proposed to her with this diamond ring, and the news at that time attracted the attention of many melon-eating people.
But the good times didn't last long, and Paris didn't want to get married, so her boyfriend wanted to get the ring back, but Paris refused to return it, on the grounds that her boyfriend didn't buy it, but the jeweler gave it to her. It also shows that Paristo likes the ring.
In fact, there are four of these rings, and in addition to this one, there are three identical artificial diamond rings of the same style, and she usually only wears artificial diamond rings when she goes out, and the real diamond rings are at her home.
If she hadn't told everyone that she was wearing a ring with artificial diamonds, no one would have been able to tell the difference.
The world's eight largest diamond producers have also formed a DPA alliance to promote natural diamonds in the euro zone every year, but they can't stop the impact of man-made diamonds on the natural diamond market. Like Desbill, who at first desperately suppressed and attacked man-made diamonds, in the end they compromised: now even he has started selling man-made diamonds.
The saying that 'diamonds are forever and one is forever' has now become a 'forever' for selling man-made goods.
Are diamonds really good? It's really good, but in Xiao Peng's eyes, it's only limited to those very rare natural diamonds, such as red diamonds, large colored diamonds, and those huge natural diamonds, and those ordinary diamonds?
And in this batch of treasures, there are also some diamonds, but the main ones are about one carat, and the largest ones are more than ten carats, so Xiao Peng really doesn't care too much about these diamonds.
Why do people like diamonds? Isn't it because they sparkle? Xiao Peng uses natural gemstones, and when polished, they are also 'bling-bling'.
Among the treasures found from the San Jose, there are many kinds of so-called 'gems', many of which are actually worthless.
There are a lot of colored gemstones in this South American region, and in the original as long as you see colored stones, they are all 'gemstones', so there are a lot of strange things in them, such as quartz, spodumene and the likeγγγγγγ
Is this spodumene also a gem? Lao Tzu is not going to make a ceramic casserole to make glass!
What else is the 'sea vein stone', this thing is mysterious that those gem dealers in China say, what is only available in Dominica, it is the 'national stone' there, ahhhh
There's also 'iolite', which is the silicate mineral, which is more widely divided, and ninety percent of the earth's crust is made up of silicate mineralsγγγγγγ But to tell the truth, this violet iolite is really good-looking, but it also has a problem, that is, it is too small, only the size of a fingernail, make a ring, a necklace, a bracelet, okay, want to carve?
After picking for a long time, among these gemstones, Xiao Peng can only use emeralds, tourmalines and a few other gemstones.
South America is the world's largest producer of emeralds, and the largest number of these gemstones are emeralds.
There are also emeralds under the bottom of the sea, but compared to these found from the San Jose, the emeralds of Qianli Rock can only be called 'beryl': because the color is too light, at least Xiao Peng has not found a dark one. And only the emerald green transparent beryl is called 'emerald'. And the most famous source of emeralds in the world is Colombia.
And there is another interesting thing about emeralds, that is, emeralds are not all green: if beryl contains less alkaline metal and more ferrous oxide, it is transparent azure, commonly known as aquamarine, and emeralds containing cesium, the color is pink, lavender, also called rose emerald or morganite, if it contains iron oxide, it is the rarest emerald------ chrysoberyl, also known as chrysoberyl. Good chrysoberyls have two varieties with special optical effects, which are cat's eye and alexandrite. And chrysoberyl is very few, and there are very few chrysoberyls that can form a cat's eye and alexandrite effect, and it is definitely the best among emeralds. It's a pityγγγγγγ There are no chrysoberyls among these emeralds, but there are others.
Tourmaline is also a silicate mineral, and this ore will be charged when heated, which is called the pyroelectric effect, so its scientific name is tourmaline.
This thing is also widely distributed, and it is also produced in China, in Nujiang Prefecture, Yunnan. It's just that the Chinese people don't treat this thing as a treasure, just 20 years ago, a handful of local noodles could be exchanged for a handful of tourmaline, and ten handfuls of noodles could be exchanged for a kilogram.
Of course, this is not the price now, but to this day, tourists often pick up tourmalines on the banks of the Nu River.
There was once a Shanghai tourist who picked up a very good tourmaline when he was playing there, and it was sold for 560,000 yuan!
Can you still make money from traveling?
