Chapter 289: The Stone of Lover

Qin Yue rushed to the front, picked up a tourmaline, put it on her own clothes and rubbed it several times, and then took it to her eyes and observed it carefully.

Tang Han, who came, looked funny, and didn't know what she was doing.

"Brother, look, tourmaline can be charged by friction and absorb dust!" Qin Yue said, and handed the tourmaline in her hand to Tang Han.

"Do you still suspect there is something fake?" Tang Han smiled and took it. He also saw that the rectangular tourmaline was absorbed with dust at both ends, and the dust was obviously rubbed off Qin Yue's clothes. The little girl really had the spirit of sacrifice, and he smiled secretly in his heart.

Qin Yue talked casually, "That's not the case. There are not many tourmalines that are fake. You can tell at a glance if they pretend to be glass. I mainly want to see if the legend about tourmaline is true. Now it seems that it is true! It's very fun!"

"Yes, why is it called tourmaline?" Tang Han had heard of this story, which tells the story of a group of children who first discovered that it could absorb dust and grass clippings, and named it "graystone" and later it was also called tourmaline. It was later called tourmaline.

"Yes, didn't we see a lot of tourmaline bead chains, court beads, chicken hearts, and earrings in the Palace Museum last time? I didn't expect to see the real thing with my own eyes. It feels so beautiful when I hold it in my hand." Qin Yue said it nicely, but in fact he understood that tourmaline can only be regarded as a mid-range gem. They were busy making money before and didn't pay much attention. Now that the situation has stabilized, it is time to expand their interests and expand their scope.

When it comes to tourmaline treasured in the Palace Museum, we have to mention the favorites of tourmaline in China. It is recorded in ancient books, called "Bixi", "Biyagu", "Bixiaxi", etc. The red ones are specifically called "Kai'er's face", and are the best among tourmalines. Most palace nobles have this kind of gem as an ornament. In China, seals are the emperor's seal and are the symbol of the emperor, and green are the green ones. They gave tourmaline the name "Tourmaline", which shows how popular it was in ancient times.

"And the price is not particularly expensive." Tang Han put down the tourmaline and habitually looked for the high-quality ones.

"Good tourmaline is still very expensive, and the price is now being hyped up." Qin Yue didn't stop his eyes when he talked to Tang Han.

"Yes, there are basically no gems that have not been fryed now." Tang Han also knew very well that as long as the quality reached a certain level, no matter what gems, the price would be very different from those of the same type.

"The color of tourmaline is also very beautiful. My favorite is rose red. I think this color is the most colorful." Qin Yue said, and chose a rose red tourmaline in his hand and placed it under natural light to observe carefully.

Qin Yue Bo has a strong memory of all kinds of gems. He memorized the basic knowledge of various gems, and was naturally clear. The colors of tourmaline are extremely rich. Red, green, blue, purple, yellow, white... almost all kinds of tourmalines are available.

What is most surprising is that tourmaline has two or several transition colors, such as blue-green, pink, yellow-brown, etc. Interestingly, tourmaline can often appear in two or more colors on the same crystal, or have different upper and lower, or different inside and outside, so it is called "multi-color tourmaline" or "color-separated tourmaline".

What she is holding now is a solid-colored rose red tourmaline, but there are many cracks in it, and it can be seen clearly without a magnifying glass, which makes people feel a little regretful. The evaluation criteria for tourmaline are color, cracks, bubbles, and cutting and processing.

The tourmaline in Messe mainly comes from Mogu, Myanmar. Because it is a mid-range gem, it is not even qualified to enter the public market. Some people even want to save trouble and classify it into the crystal category.

Myanmar is not the largest tourmaline production in the world. The most famous tourmaline production in the world is Brazil and the United States. Among them, the bright blue tourmaline found in Brazil is one of the most popular gemstones in the world. High-quality tourmaline can even be classified as high-end gemstones.

"It's a pity that they are all very ordinary!" Tang Han quickly looked at the tourmalines in this store, but did not find any tourmalines that are particularly worthy of attention. To get to his eyes, it still requires a certain level. In Tang Han's opinion, the quality of these tourmalines is very average. Some of them have good colors, but the cracks and bubbles in the inside greatly affect the beauty, while some of them have good inner quality, but the color is dark and the luster is seriously out of order.

Qin Yue laughed, holding a string of colorful heart-shaped tourmalines in her hand, which were blue, red, black, and green. They were combined together and looked gorgeous and colorful, especially on her white and jade-like hands. She immediately raised her up and said to Tang Han, "Actually, it looks pretty good when stringed together!"

"It would be great if there were no cracks and bubbles in the middle." Tang Han said incisively.

"Don't you know what hazy beauty is?" Qin Yue turned her face and continued to look for the tourmaline that she could see. She knew that Tang Han had a pair of jade-like eyes. She didn't have the ability of him, so she was an ordinary person. There were much more beautiful things than him.

Tang Han smiled and said, "Haki beauty is good, but I can't pretend to be invisible!"

"Who told you to be so harsh, I feel comfortable looking at it." Qin Yue hummed twice, but he still couldn't attack these tourmalines. He knew Tang Han's helplessness, but she couldn't expose him in person.

Although the shop owner had already come up and strongly recommended the tourmaline in the store to her. Qin Yue asked him to get some better quality tourmalines, but the boss immediately tried hard. The tourmaline in Myanmar is generally of not very good, and there are not many high-quality tourmalines.

Fortunately, the boss is also an experienced person, so he immediately played the price card and said that the tourmaline price here is definitely the cheapest, only 100 baht per gram.

Qin Yue left with a lip and was too lazy to return the price. In fact, 100 baht per gram is equivalent to about 20 yuan per gram, which is a reasonable price. However, there is no tourmaline that you like, and Qin Yue doesn't want to buy some unwanted things on her body. There are also a lot of tourmalines in China, so there is no need to bother with him here.

Seeing Qin Yue's pink little mouth pouting, Tang Han felt funny in his heart, but he liked this little girl very much, so he didn't want to see her like this. A flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and then he pulled her little hand and said to her softly, "Xiaoyue, have you noticed that these tourmalines are very simple now. Apart from beaded bracelets, necklaces and original pendants, there is nothing else."

"Well...so what..." Qin Yue was squeezed by his sudden hand, his mind swayed, and his thinking seemed to pause.

"This is a good opportunity for you to show your skills!" Seeing that the little girl was a little confused, Tang Han smiled and pinched her lightly.

Qin Yue suddenly woke up and glared at Tang Han with some dissatisfaction, but when he saw his gentle smile, his heart immediately softened, and his super brain began to think quickly, "Brother is right, the color of tourmaline is so bright, and there are many characteristics that other gems do not have. If you match it with other gems... no, you can design many styles just by using tourmaline."

Tang Han nodded and gave her an encouragement smile, "I believe in Xiaoyue's ability."

"But you have to find the tourmaline of good quality first!" Qin Yue pouted again. The styles she designed now require the quality of jewelry and jade. Just like the tourmalines like the ones just now, they should be better able to survive in the roughest design method.

Tang Han smiled and said, "That's natural. Aren't we working hard together?"

Feeling his strong confidence, Qin Yue nodded vigorously, and Tang Han lit up the passionate flame in her heart in a few words.

After that, Qin Yue charged forward again. After a few days, Qin Yue exclaimed again, "Hey, is this Moonlight Stone? It's quite beautiful!"

Qin Yue knew that there were many places producing moonstones around the world, and Myanmar was also one, but she didn't see them in Myanmar. She said strangely, "Why didn't we see these gems sold in Myanmar!"

Tang Han smiled and explained to her. They had previously focused on jadeite wool and red sapphires, and there were many other gems of the categories, and they didn't pay much attention to them, and they didn't have that much time to visit other places in Myanmar.

But Qin Yue also raised her doubts. She had heard Tang Han say that the processing of jade in Burmese is indeed very poor. For example, the ring face they grinded out seems to be gnawed by a dog, which is simply a waste of resources.

This is not because they are discriminatory. The processing technology of Burmese people does need to be improved. Although there are many jewelry and jade produced, the technology has not kept up, so they can only sell jade ore, which is a great waste.

When Qin Yue scolded Myanmar's backward thinking in pain, he took great opportunities and didn't know how to use them. Tang Han suddenly interrupted, "Actually, we also laughed at 50 steps. I think our country is not much better!"

Qin Yue was curious, "Our country is okay! At least not like them!"

Tang Han sighed lightly, "Gems are okay! As for the others, we export almost all primary products, high-end products rely on imports, and even many basic tools are not capable of producing them by themselves. Our country has rich resources and enough people, but the technology is backward, which is very similar to the situation in Myanmar you just mentioned. It is very difficult to change."

Qin Yue nodded in a spectacular way, and then thought about it carefully, it seemed that the same reason was true. Myanmar's craftsmanship was not a little behind. Even if he had enlightenment, it would be very difficult to catch up in the short term.

Tang Han no longer mentioned this heavy topic, but only focused on the moonlight stones seen in front of him, and was also joking with Qin Yue to dilute the atmosphere. "We were attracted by jade before, and we didn't like other jewelry. Now we are like apprentices who have just entered the industry, everything is fresh and everything is good."

"Yes, but the moonstone is indeed beautiful! Although the price is not high, it's strange that we haven't noticed it before." Qin Yue picked up a moonstone and said.

"That's why I said that life is not lacking in beauty, but only eyes to discover beauty!" Tang Han replied with a smile, his eyes also focused on the piles of moonlight stones.

"The moonstone is very cute. It is said that it can enhance the sixth inspiration! Therefore, it is called the 'Lovers' Stone', which can make the two happy and happy." When Qin Yue said, he ignored the moonstone in his hand and looked straight at Tang Han.

Tang Han responded with a gentle look, "It's so amazing, so let's choose two."

"Okay!" Qin Yue's pretty face was filled with a smile, "I remember there is another song called Moonlight Stone, which sounds very nice."

"Is that so? Then I'll go back and find it." Tang Han looked at her with a smile, and suddenly realized that her beautiful face was beautiful, and her fragrant lips were filled with confidence. A different kind of charm seemed to bloom in front of him, but he had always regarded her as the beloved little girl before.

But he quickly changed his gaze and looked at the moonstone in his hand. He had a sharp eye and a good feel. He got a very good quality moonstone, translucent. At first glance, there was a blue light floating like a wave, like moonlight, gentle and refreshing.

When he looked closely, he felt that the moonstone had a strange beauty, which was really a very cute, seductive luster, clean and meticulous.

Especially when turning the moonstone, you can still see blue purple, purple orchid, blue yellow in the blue light. Several colors are intertwined harmoniously, colorful and charming, forming an extremely attractive luster, making people feel as if they can feel the spiritual energy in it. As Qin Yue said, moonstone is a lover's stone, giving people a romantic and warm feeling.

Tang Han didn't know what Qin Yue felt at first, but looking at her tender gaze, she was already very clear in her heart.

The quality of good moonstones is not much different. The two finally picked 8 of the best quality moonstones. The colors of these moonstones are very soft and attractive, and the inner part is very transparent. They naturally won’t choose those turbid moonstones. Speaking of which, moonstones are much better than tourmaline.

Tang Han's fluency in English is not as good as Qin Yue, so she left the bargaining matters to do.

"Boss, how do you sell the moonstone here?"

“800 baht per pill.”

"It's too expensive, can I not know how to bully me?"

"How much do you give me, little girl?"

“60 baht is almost the same.”

"This is not wholesale, it is retail!"

"Then I'll add more, how about 80 baht?"

"100 baht, no more." Qin Yue finally made a concession. In this place, it is definitely necessary to bargain prices. She also knew that China produces moonstone, the quality is also very good, and the wholesale price is not high. Buying here is mainly for pleasure. Of course, in her opinion, bargaining is also very fun.
