Chapter 253 Remuneration
"Moonstone, the so-called moonstone, is often milky white, emitting translucent and light blue halo, like the first dim moonlight after the rain in March. This phenomenon is called the 'moonlight effect'."
"The moonlight effect refers to: when the white light shines on the gem and interferes with the special structure inside the gem, a white to light blue flash can be seen on the surface of the gem, just like hazy moonlight."
"Moonstone is a type of feldspar, which is aluminosilicate of sodium and potassium. It is a mineral that interacts layer by layer. The two components can scatter visible light, and cleavage can produce interference or diffraction against light. The combined result can produce a moonlight effect. Moonstones with high grades have drifting blue light, and a few moonstones even have cat-eye effects."
"For centuries, moonstone has been one of the most loved gemstones. People believe that it can awaken the gentle enthusiasm of their lovers. It is a lucky stone for the birth of June, symbolizing wealth and longevity."
"Native moonstone is produced in special veins and pegmatite veins, but its valuable ones come from sand ore and weathered layers. Its important production areas are also produced in Sri Lanka, India, Myanmar, Brazil, Madagascar, the United States, Australia, and Inner Mongolia in China, among which Sri Lanka is the most precious. In addition, some people believe that the Heshi Bi in ancient China is actually a kind of moonstone."
Tang Tianyou talked to Zhao Feng and Dong An.
"I didn't expect that Mr. Tang's research on stones was also very in-depth." Zhao Feng said in surprise.
"I just know a little bit." Tang Tianyou smiled.
In fact, this is just a basic skill. For the carving master, the first important task is to have a thorough understanding of the nature of the stone. If you can't master the stone you are preparing to carve, how can you carve it into an unforgettable work of art?
As Tang Tianyou, who inherited the white-bearded carving skills, since he likes this, he will meticulously do it to the best, understand all kinds of strange stones, and remember the nature and knowledge of these gems. It is just a breeze.
"But even so, the two are still different." Zhao Feng said with a smile.
Tang Tianyou nodded. Although the moonstone could emit light itself, it could only emit circles of light like the hazy moonlight that was sunny.
And this stone lying quietly on Zhao Feng's hand... Tang Tianyou glanced at it with admiration... but it emitted light like a light, illuminating the world around him.
Tang Tianyou recalled the characteristics of this stone and its exposed nature. It seemed that it had never appeared in the information he had read.
That is to say... a trace of surprise flashed in Tang Tianyou's eyes... Such a stone has not been discovered in this world, or at least it has not been announced.
"Mr. Zhao, I guess the name Bai Yaodian should have been chosen by you, right?" Tang Tianyou looked at Zhao Feng with a smile.
"That's right." Zhao Feng nodded awkwardly, "I went on a trip before and found this strange stone in a place in the primeval forest."
"At that time, I thought this glowing stone might be a moonstone, but when I think about it carefully, it seems that something is wrong, because it is a bit different from the moonstone."
"So, I took it to visit some relevant experts and professors, wanting to ask about the origin of this stone, but unexpectedly, no professor knew this stone, and found nowhere to be found in search of various information."
"At this time, I knew it might be a mineral that has not been discovered by humans, so I named it White Obsidian according to its nature."
After hearing this, Tang Tianyou smiled. It seemed that Zhao Feng was also a reluctant person.
"So, please, Mr. Tang, I am willing to use this treasure as a reward and beg you to carve a birthday gift for my grandfather." Zhao Feng said seriously.
"For birthday gifts, isn't this stone a good gift? Why don't you give it to your grandfather?" Tang Tianyou was puzzled.
"If my grandfather liked it, I would have given it to him long ago." Zhao Feng shook his head and smiled bitterly, "My grandfather is a stubborn person. He likes antiques and carving art, and does not like these strange things."
"When I was about to give him this stone, my grandfather said, "What's so strange about the glowing stone? If you want to illuminate it, why not add a light bulb at home? Is there any money for our family to lose that amount of electricity?"
Tang Tianyou also smiled. I guess Zhao Feng’s grandfather is an interesting old man.
"Have you really considered it?" Tang Tianyou looked at Zhao Feng, "Are you really willing to give me this precious piece of white obsidian as a reward?"
"To be honest, I really don't want to bear it. There was a person who once offered to buy my stone for 10 million, but I didn't agree." Zhao Feng smiled, "But compared with grandpa, this treasure is just a dead thing. There are no rare treasures in the world, but my grandpa only has one. I naturally understand which one is more important."
This Zhao Feng is a filial son, and Tang Tianyou secretly exclaimed.
"What's more,..." Zhao Feng smiled proudly, "This white obsidian is not only one piece, there are two pieces in my hand. Giving one piece is nothing."
"Okay, I agree to this job." Tang Tianyou made a decision immediately.
"Really?" Zhao Feng was overjoyed.
"However, I still have one condition." Tang Tianyou smiled.
"There is another condition?" Zhao Feng's heart sank.
"Yes." Tang Tianyou nodded, "I want to go to the place where you found this stone, so I hope you can be a tour guide for me."
"There is no problem with this." Zhao Feng agreed immediately, but his tone was a little hesitant, "I know you also want to go to that place to search for any treasures."
"There is one thing I have to say before. After getting this treasure, I actually sent a lot of people there to search for a large scale, but apart from the few stones on my hand, I never found anything special."
"Don't worry, I'm just curious about the place where such a strange stone appears. Even if I can't find anything else, I won't care too much." Tang Tianyou nodded.
He expressed his understanding of Zhao Feng's behavior. After all, he got these treasures there, so he could not help but think that there might be more treasures nearby. It is common sense to send someone to search for them again.
But Zhao Feng and the others couldn't find it, could he not find it? Tang Tianyou thought confidently.
"Okay, since that's the case, I can promise you." Zhao Feng smiled. He knew that people have a little luck mentality. If others can't find it, maybe they can do it?
In fact, isn't he the same? He always doesn't give up and wants to find more magical things from that place, but he never has the luck he used to search hard, but he still finds nothing.
Maybe when he encounters a disappointed moment, he will give up, Zhao Feng thought so.
