Jianbao life

Chapter 748 Albite

Hearing what Chu Chen said, Xu Youhai immediately looked at the wool again, but he still didn't see what happened, so he could only shake his head helplessly, and was going to listen to what Chu Chen said later.

"How should I say, eat first, or resolve the stone first?" Zhao Qirui asked beside him.

"Let's talk after eating first, I'm a little hungry now!" Chu Chen patted his stomach with a smile.

Although Xu Youhai really wanted to know the answer, he was not in a hurry, and no matter what, he couldn't make everyone hungry, so he said with a smile, "Okay! Then let's eat first and then talk..."

Since it is in a mine, it is impossible to have no stone-dissolving equipment, so the group had a simple lunch here, and then took the stone to the simple warehouse where the stone-dissolving equipment was placed.

"Xiao Chen, is there really emerald in it?" Wan Chengjun asked with a puzzled expression after looking at the stone carefully. He had the same opinion as Xu Youhai, and he really couldn't see that it was a piece of wool.

Zhao Qirui said with a smile: "I don't know if there is any emerald, and as for the poor performance of the wool, before the 'Five Blessings' is not solved, is it better than this piece?"

"That's true." Yi Hongguo nodded, and then said with a smile: "Junior brother, this piece of wool, won't you be able to unravel some high-end jadeite again? I want it, but I look forward to your unraveling a shocking emerald later." The result!"

Chu Chen smiled: "I didn't choose this on a whim. As for the result, you will know it after a while."
Xu Youhai said urgently when he heard the words: "Xiao Chen, don't be so tricky, what's going on, please give me an explanation!"

Chu Chen spread his hands and said, "Uncle Xu, it's not that I don't want to talk about it, it's just that I have a rough guess about what's going on inside. As for what's going on, I can't know until I figure it out."

Since Chu Chen said so, Xu Youhai didn't say anything more, so he saw Chu Chen press the power switch of the stone machine, set up the cutter directly, and cut through the middle of the stone.

When everyone looked at this posture, they immediately understood that this piece should not be made of jadeite wool, because if it was made of jadeite wool, Chu Chen's movements would not be so violent.

"Buzz!"

As time went by, the saw teeth continued to cut into the stone, and the powder produced was wetted by water and turned into mud and splashed to the side.

At this time Xu Youhai seemed very nervous, and his rationality told him that what the stone interpreter is cutting should be just ordinary stones, but now that he has been treated as a living horse doctor, he desperately hopes that Chu Chen can solve it. What he bought was a piece of high-grade emerald, so his mine might still be brought back to life.

"Green water has come out!"

After more than ten minutes like this, Hu Yong, who was helping, suddenly yelled excitedly.Xu Youhai next to him immediately took a step up.

Because the wool is not big, the position of the sawtooth is halfway through now. Xu Youhai took a closer look and found that, as Hu Yong said, a faint green can be seen with the naked eye in the muddy water. Although it is rare, it still cheers him up. A shock.

"There is really green!" At this time, Zhao Qirui and others were also very surprised at the beginning, because there was green, they thought that this stone should be a piece of jade wool, not the ordinary stone they thought before.

Immediately afterwards, they became excited, just like what Zhao Qirui said just now, the previous "Five Blessings" were obtained from this kind of wool that looks like ordinary stone. Now is it possible that another piece of top-level jade will be born soon?

But they obviously forgot that if this stone could really produce emeralds, Chu Chen wouldn't have said that just now.

"Buzz!"

With the idling sound of the sawtooth, the stone was also divided into two. Hu Yong and Zuo Shan hurried forward to clean both sides of the wool.

I saw two sections, one side looks white and quiet, the other side looks a little green, it looks like spinach green, but because the exposed part is relatively small, I can't see any kind of water clearly .

Because Chu Chen often extracts high-grade jadeite, Zhao Qirui and others also have great expectations. Now it seems that it is only spinach green, and it seems a little disappointed.

But the meaning of this result to Xu Youhai is different. If it is really spinach green, then the emerald inside is likely to be above the middle grade. This is the first piece of wool above the middle grade dug out by his mine. He is not excited?
Although he had already known the result in advance, Chu Chen still pretended to go forward to observe it carefully, then stood up, put the half of the green stone back under the stone-breaking machine, turned on the power of the stone-breaking machine, and set it up. Pick up the cutter, and prepare to cut from the middle position.

"Hey! Xiaochen, you're going to cut the jade inside!" Xu Youhai hurriedly stepped forward to stop it.

Chu Chen replied with a smile: "Uncle Xu, don't worry, I know this matter well."

Hearing what Chu Chen said, although Xu Youhai felt very surprised, but thinking that since Chu Chen has such a high emerald skill, it is definitely impossible to be reckless in this regard. Since Chu Chen did this, there must be his reasons, but this is it why?

In fact, not only Xu Youhai was surprised, but others were also surprised by Chu Chen's choice. Logically speaking, Chu Chen shouldn't waste it on purpose, but now that Chu Chen is doing so much, it will definitely damage the emerald inside. No jade, or a piece of low-grade jade?
Thinking of this, Xu Youhai couldn't help becoming nervous, whether it was low-grade jadeite or no jadeite, it was not the result he wanted now.

Because the thickness of the cuts is almost the same, it also took three to ten minutes this time, and the half of the stone was divided into two again.

This time the green color is very strong, even if the cut surface has not been cleaned, everyone can see it, and the color really looks like spinach green, which made Xu Youhai feel relieved, but at the same time complained a little Chen is too wasteful.

But when the cut surface was cleaned, everyone stepped forward and found that the color was indeed like spinach green, but the color was lighter than the real spinach green. As for the water head, it was really good, even if there was no glass, At least it has reached the appearance of a high ice species.

But after careful observation for a while, Yi Hongguo said with a puzzled face, "Why do I think this is not emerald at all!"

The others also frowned, as Yi Hongguo said, although this thing looks like jadeite, but upon closer inspection, it is indeed very different from jadeite.

At this time, Xu Youhai's face showed a ghostly look, the corner of his mouth twitched, and he said in disappointment and frustration: "This is albite at all!"

"Albite?"

Yi Hongguo also had a look of surprise on his face, and he said: "I have seen albite, but at most I have only seen ones similar to the ice species of floating flowers. As for the high ice species that are close to the glass species, I really don't know." I haven’t seen it before, besides, does albite have this color similar to spinach green?”

Xu Youhai sighed and said, "Albite does have this color, but it's so rare that you can't see it under normal circumstances. But no matter how rare it is, it's just albite. What I want is emerald!"

Chu Chen said with a smile: "Uncle Xu, why are you so depressed? Although I don't have any practical experience in gambling mines, I also know that albite is an associated mine of jadeite. Now that albite is found, the emerald mine Thinking about it, it shouldn’t be too far away from it, right?”

Hearing this, Xu Youhai was stunned immediately. He was very depressed because he had solved the albite just now, so he didn't think much about it. Now that he was reminded by Chu Chen, he immediately remembered what Chu Chen said.

Chu Chen continued: "Besides, I think the quality of albite is good, and the quality of jadeite can't be lower. There is a close relationship between the two."

Generally speaking, high-quality emeralds are formed by the hard host rock after later transformation. The hard host rock undergoes dynamic metamorphism and the replacement of chromium-containing ion hydrothermal fluids, forming fine and uniform mineral particles, single composition, compact structure, and high hardness. High-quality jadeite that is large, uniform and bright in color, and has good optical effects.

The impact of metasomatism on the quality of jadeite depends on the type and degree of metasomatization minerals and so on.Among them, a small amount of albite remains can improve the transparency of jadeite, thereby increasing the quality of jadeite.

"Snapped!"

Xu Youhai clapped his hands fiercely, and laughed loudly: "That's right! Let's go! Let's go to the mine just now to take samples..."

As soon as he said this, he thought of another thing, frowned and said: "Speaking of sampling, I also took samples before I decided to let the workers evacuate from that pothole, but there was nothing found either! "

Chu Chen asked, "How many meters deep were the specimens taken at that time?"

"Three meters, five samples were taken." Xu Youhai replied.

Chu Chen chuckled secretly when he heard the words: "The emerald veins are five meters deep at the bottom of the mine pit, and of course nothing will be found in three meters!"

According to what he saw, although not every part of this mine has to be nearly 30 meters deep to dig out emerald mines, but in some places, even if the depth is not 30 meters, there are fifteen or sixteen meters. The speed, not to mention a week, even if you add three months, you can't dig a real vein.

Afterwards, Chu Chen pretended to ponder for a while, and said: "If three meters is not enough, then take specimens with a depth of four meters and five meters. In addition, it is best to change the sampling place. I believe that since we can produce this If there is a high-quality albite, then the emerald veins will definitely not be too far away."

"it is good!"

Xu Youhai is also more vigorous in his work, and the impact of this mine on his family is too great. After hearing what Chu Chen said, he immediately went out to ask the workers to get the equipment and go to the bottom of the mine just now to take samples...
