Chapter 1156 is done
The quality of Nujiang tourmaline is very good, it belongs to the existence of the world's top tourmaline, but there is also a problem, that is, it is not easy to produce large crystals, even if it is very large at 200 grams, it is rare to see more than one kilogram. More are small tourmalines that are suitable for necklace rings.
South American tourmaline is different, the quality is good, and there are many heavyweight tourmalines. Especially now that Brazil produces 70% of the world's total production of colored tourmaline, this is more than a treasure trove of big guys!
And these big guys are Xiao Peng's raw materials!
If you let outsiders know that Xiao Peng is such a loser, you have to be angry.
As tourmaline, this tourmaline is easy to absorb various trace elements, so the color of tourmaline is beautiful and changeable, such as manganese is red, chromium and vanadium is green, except for the most common black tourmaline, almost all colors of tourmaline are available, and even some tourmaline has many colors of iridescent.
But the rarest color in tourmaline is blue, and it is difficult to distinguish a good blue tourmaline from aquamarine and sapphire. Long ago, blue tourmaline was used to counterfeit the existence of sapphires. But now the price of high-quality blue tourmaline is higher than that of both sapphire and aquamarine.
This blue tourmaline is produced in many countries in the world, such as Xiong Country, Xinjiang and Inner Mongolia in China, but the highest quality is undoubtedly Brazilian Paraiba tourmaline, which is a kind of electric blue abnormal dazzling, and now the most expensive tourmaline is this Brazilian Paraiba tourmaline, a piece of about five carats of high-grade Paraiba tourmaline, a carat is tens of thousands of dollars.
The reason why Paraiba tourmaline is so expensive and of good quality is on the one hand, and on the other hand, the reason is that in the place of origin of Paraiba, this kind of tourmaline has been hollowed out! Now the so-called 'Paraiba tourmaline' on the market is from Mozambique, Nigeria, Xiongguo, China and other places.
Why did Xiao Peng say that he was a loser? A piece of Paraiba tourmaline that was 50 centimeters high, more than 30 centimeters wide, and weighed more than 40 kilograms let him cut it directly!
But Xiao Peng didn't feel distressed at all------- there were a few bigger pieces there, what were you afraid of?"
Xiao Peng is not very satisfied with this Paraiba tourmaline, that is, the color is a little dark, so Xiao Peng directly optimized it by heating: although many tourmaline sellers on the market say that tourmaline cannot be heat-treated, saying that it is easy to cause tourmaline to break, in fact, this is not the case, jewelers around the world will optimize tourmaline through irradiation or heating, and heating can make tourmaline color lighter.
The reason why Xiao Peng made the color of this tourmaline lighter is to strengthen its light transmittance, so that all parts in the mobile phone can be seen clearly, like a transparent mobile phone.
Another important reason for choosing this tourmaline is that there is a pegmatite symbiotic on the side of this tourmaline. This pegmatite is tall and tall, but it is actually a rock that can be seen everywhere. And the reason why Xiao Peng chose to cut this Paraiba tourmaline is because he is optimistic about this pegmatite.
Xiao Peng first polished the heat-treated Paraiba tourmaline, and then dug a screen of the same size as the mobile phone screen on the tourmaline according to the size of the mobile phone screen. And Xiao Peng also has to carve the right position to place those parts according to the mobile phone parts inside: this kind of one-piece gemstone shell can't be fixed with screws inside, which requires the data to be exactly the same!
This is only the first step: you have to carve the pattern on it. And the carving pattern is even more troublesome, the reason why he kept this pegmatite is for carving. The most troublesome thing was that this carving had to be a success, otherwise he really couldn't find another Paraiba tourmaline that was so suitable for pegmatite companions.
Two days later, Xiao Peng finally walked out of the room.
"Come out!" Sun Pengcheng had been in the courtyard and shouted when he saw Xiao Peng walk out of the room.
Xiao Peng glanced at him: "What are you shouting, hurry up and give me some food! I'm starving!"
"It's coming!" Yang Meng and Lao Pan trotted over with a pot: "Dude, you haven't eaten in the past few days?
Xiao Peng smiled: "How can I say that I want to give you a gift that I can handle, right? β
"Mom's stewed braised pork, just waiting for you to come out and eat!" Yang Meng took the pot to Xiao Peng's guest room.
By the time the mother and children came, Xiao Peng had already eaten half a pot of braised pork and half a pot of rice.
"Eat slowly, drink some water!" said the old mother distressed as she watched Xiao Peng eat.
Yang Meng also snorted coldly: "That stupid girl owes it to clean up, what kind of mobile phone do you have nothing to do? If I had known that it was so troublesome, I would definitely not let you do this job!"
Xiao Peng smiled after hearing this: "Don't be hard-mouthed." You two don't know who's picking up whom! Alright, it's nothing. After all, I'm a great sculptor now, can't I be ashamed of my title!"
My mother asked curiously, "What have you done, and you've been busy for so long?"
Xiao Peng said with a wry smile: "I felt very relaxed when I agreed, but I didn't expect it to be so troublesome to do, and I also need a lot of fine locations to be careful, Georgina's pile of mobile phones, let me scrap several of them." In the end, I made two that satisfied me. β
"Brother Peng, can you take it out and let everyone open their eyes?" Sun Pengcheng said.
Xiao Peng glanced at him: "Can you wait for me to eat my stomach?"
"Yes, of course!" Sun Pengcheng said, but his eyes were full of curiosity.
At this moment, Dad, Bloomberg and Georgina also walked in, and Bloomberg apologized when he saw Xiao Peng: "Xiao, Georgina has caused you trouble." β
Dad blinked after hearing this: "Lao Bu calls me Xiao, and you are also called Xiao." This seems like a bit of a mess, right?"
Xiao Peng sneered after hearing this, picked up a tissue and wiped his mouth: "Bloomberg, in the future, you have to distinguish between calling me Xiao Xiao and my dad Lao Xiao, I'm angry." me, why are you dressed like this?"
Bloomberg is now wearing a tracksuit with a stand-up collar baseball down jacket and a pair of 'men's shoes' on his feetγγγγγγ Xiao Peng really hasn't seen it!
Didn't my dad complain that Bloomberg was wearing a suit in Qianliyan that day?
Bloomberg shrugged: "Do you follow the local customs, besides, it's comfortable to wear like this! I also wear autumn clothes and pants! I didn't even know there were good things before." It's soft and fluffy, warm and comfortable to wear!"
Ivan, who was on the side, nodded: "That's right, that's right! This autumn coat and pants are really good!"
Mom coughed dryly: "You're talking a little far away now, right?"
Bloomberg came back to his senses: "Xiao, I really apologize to you, Georgina has made me spoiled and caused you so much trouble, you haven't been out for a few days to freak me out, if something is going to happen, I don't know what to do." β
Xiao Peng said with a smile: "What can happen to a person as big as me? From the perspective of our relationship, this Georgina is my niece; from the relationship between Yang Meng, this is my brother and daughter-in-law, I have such a good relationship with Mengzi, what is the matter with satisfying my brother's daughter-in-law's small wishes?"
After he said this, Yang Meng and Georgina looked at each other, Yang Meng scratched his head and said: "Wife, it's strange, why can't I be happy at all when I hear this?
Everyone laughed together after hearing Yang Meng's words.
Xiao Peng blinked and said to Georgina: "Georgina, Bloomberg apologized to me just now, but in fact, I think I should apologize to you." β
Georgina didn't understand what Xiao Peng meant.
Xiao Ge said next to him: "My dad said that he broke several mobile phones. β
Georgina hurriedly said: "Isn't it just a mobile phone, if it's broken, it's broken, it's okay, I'll buy some more and send it back to my friends." I'm sorry to cause you so much trouble. β
Xiao Peng shook his head: "I'm not apologizing for this." β
"That's?" said Georgina, puzzled.
Xiao Peng explained with a smile: "The mobile phone is ready for you, but I think itγγγγγγ You won't use it. β
"Why?" Georgina wondered.
Xiao Peng didn't answer her, but directly took out two two mobile phones from his arms and handed them to Georgina.
Everyone saw the two mobile phones that Xiao Peng took out, and everyone's eyes were straight. Xiao Peng took out a cigar and lit it, and said with a sad face: "This mobile phone is made like this, I think you are reluctant to take it out and use it." I regretted it when I was done, why do foreign designers use precious metals and diamonds? That's because if I bump it, there is room for repair, and if I do this, the whole phone will be useless. β
Sun Pengcheng listened to Xiao Peng's words, and said leisurely: "Brother Peng, if you don't pretend to be X, we are still good friends, are you showing off your own skills?"
However, his words did not cause a reaction from others------ everyone's eyes were attracted to those two mobile phones!
Both phones are carved from pale blue Paraiba tourmaline, which is highly transparent and futuristic for the parts of the phone.
On the back of the mobile phone, the pegmatite associated with tourmaline has been carved into a portrait by Xiao Peng, and a man is carved on the back of one of the two mobile phones, and a woman is carved on the back. When two phones are put together, it makes up a picture:
The woman's left hand is on an apple, her right hand is on a branch, and her feet are graceful in front of and behind. Feminine and youthful, while the male appears calm, holding a leafy apple in his left hand and swinging his right hand backwards, the woman's face presents a natural smile, while the man's expression appears a little hesitant.
The room was silent, and even gasping for breath was muffled.
The idea in everyone's mind is the same: this is a work of art!
