As soon as he saw that someone had come to gamble on the stones, the owner immediately smiled with his eyebrows.
"Yes, there are, come in and have a look, we have all the original stones of jadeite, southern red, and turquoise."
As a result, Elsa smiled and said: "We'll only bet on jadeite, the others for now."
Jadeite gambling, which is also 1 of the most traditional and most likely to pick up a big leak in stone gambling, is to bet on whether a good jadeite can be opened in the original jadeite stone.
Of course, the boss also had the most jadeite raw stones here, a large batch of which had been accumulated over the past few years.
"These are all raw jadeite stones, there are small and large materials, of course there are price differences, this very small small material is just a few tens of, we play casually, you can produce some small pendants, small decoration or something."
The boss began to point at the raw materials and introduce them.
"These larger ones cost a few hundred, the price of the hooded material will be a bit lower, and these materials with open windows will be a bit more expensive, depending on what you like."
On the way here, Elsa had explained the basic knowledge of gambling to Adrian, the "hooded" material refers to the raw stone that is completely wrapped up, from the outside you can't see the inside, so you can only rely on "hooding", the gambling component is the biggest, so the chance of success is also small, the material is cheaper.
This means that the stone has been cut and you can see the flesh inside, so the risk is relatively small and the material is more expensive.
Following this, the owner introduced.
"This side of these is the original stone from that side of Myanmar, the volume is relatively large also after all expensive, a few thousand ranging, there are old pit material oh."
But, just now Elsa has given Adrian introduced, these small material is also called "kilogram material", in fact, to put it bluntly is the waste of the jade mine in Myanmar, from the jade mine out of these stones is basically no cost, so, want to open from this material to good material is too difficult.
The main reason why Elsa asked Adrian to come here was to let Adrian get familiar with the internal structure of the original jadeite stone, after all, Adrian knew what the inside of the stone looked like, but did not know what kind was good, what was bad, and what was extremely fine, Elsa had to let him understand these things 1st before he could.
Following that, Elsa then said to the boss.
"Boss, don't worry, the 2 of us are definitely going to play around here, so this 2 thousand is 1st shot at you here, even if the stones we play with are not enough for this price, this 2 thousand is still for you, but you let us play by ourselves, okay?"
Seeing that 2 thousand came so easily, the boss immediately became happy as he stepped aside then said with a smile: "Sure, pick yourselves well, I'll be at the front desk, I'll cut it for you when you're done."
Adrian nodded, then walked over and picked up a piece of the so-called kilo material, Adrian used the see-through video Skill of his glasses to scan the piece from head to tail you.
"There's no green, there's no colour, there's no ice or anything like you said, that's about it."
Many of these raw jadeite stones were open windows, so Adrian didn't need much description, just find a similar stone and talk to Elsa about it.
But, the boss not far away became a little strange when he heard this.
"How dare you say what the inside of a stone is like, thinking you are a god? As the saying goes, ‘it's hard for a god to break an inch of jade', even the gods don't know what the inside of this stone is like, this kid is actually talking about it, he's an expert in picking up girls!"
In the boss's opinion, Adrian was just bragging, the purpose of course was to please Elsa and make Elsa feel like a bully.
Therefore, the boss shook his head disdainfully and then went on to look at his circle of friends.
Adrian, on the other hand, continued to pick up another piece of stone and said: "This 1 doesn't work either, it's basically grey inside, similar to this one."
"This 1 doesn't work either, there are a lot of flowers."
"This 1 is similar to this 1, there are a lot of lines."
……
Adrian was fast and did not pick and choose, not letting go of a single stone starting from a corner to study and observe it piece by piece.
Sure enough, just like Elsa said, these were really basically all scraps, soon hundreds of stones were put aside, none of them were similar, which made even Elsa feel bored.
"Adrian, why don't you feel around here, I'll go to the rest of the shop and see if there's anything interesting."
Elsa spoke to Adrian then went to wander around.
Adrian continued to keep touching 1 stone after another, But, as he touched more stones, his observation speed did become a lot faster, because after more than a hundred stones, he had accumulated some experience in judging.
To be honest, the Relic business is also a profession that relies on experience, and when you see more real and good things, of course your judgement becomes stronger, and Adrian obviously felt this.
"Elsa, come on, this piece feels good, it's coloured and it's pure and transparent."
After touching the stone for another half an hour or so, Adrian finally found a raw stone that felt about right to him, he shook the stone and said with a smile to Elsa.
"Sure, let's open the stone."
Elsa didn't ask any detailed questions, but directly let Adrian take the stone to the boss.
"Finally you've chosen, ah, good, seeing as you guys are so sincere, I'll open this 1 for you for free."
The boss said with a smile, followed by taking the stone and walking to the side of the cutting machine, he had seen many people like Adrian, All said how good the stone they had chosen was when they had chosen it, it was ice and glutinous, but when it was opened they were all dumbfounded.
Soon the machine was turning and Elsa was looking at it with excitement, even Adrian was infected by her look.
The stone was not very big and soon the machine stopped.
The owner smiled and opened the lid of the machine, then took the stone out from inside.
But, just as he got his hands on it, a shocked look appeared on his face because the stone was just like what Adrian had said, it had a green colour while being very transparent and basically of ice quality.
Ice is a way of describing jadeite, meaning that it looks as transparent and translucent as ice, better than ice is glass, just like glass not only transparent but also without a single impurity inside, it is also the very best of jadeite.
"Ice seed with green, good stuff!"
Elsa also giggled.
Adrian then looked at her and asked: "How much can it be worth?"
Hearing Adrian's question, Elsa said with a smile: "It's not too valuable lah, looking at this it should be worth 2 bracelets, plus a little something else, it's estimated to be a few hundred thousand."
Hearing this price, Adrian's 1st feeling was that it was too little, what he needed was more than a billion, this was not even a drop in the bucket I guess.
So, he said with some disappointment.
"It's so cheap."
Hearing the conversation between the 2 men, the boss was instantly in a black line.
"Who the hell are these 2 guys, they have such a big mouth, getting hundreds of thousands for a hundred and still not being satisfied, this is too exaggerated."
At this time, Elsa once again took out a pile of banknotes and threw them to the boss and said: "Thanks to the boss for bringing good luck, let's continue touching."
Following that, she had turned her head to look at Adrian and said: "See this cut, just touch something better than this, no need to refer to those finished bangles, those are polished and can't look that good initially."
Hearing Elsa's words, the boss looked at Adrian somewhat strangely with his money, to be honest, he didn't expect the inside of the stone to actually be the same as what Adrian said: "Maybe this guy is really a god or maybe not."
He muttered in his heart before retracing his steps.
Adrian then proceeded to touch up, this moulding took about 2 hours, most of the stones, including those with and without open windows, were almost touched, just when Elsa thought that was it, Adrian suddenly held up a stone and said: "This 1, as fine as just now, is full of green inside."
When he heard Adrian's words, the glass of water in the boss's hand fell to the ground with a "dang!" Because Adrian might not know what he was talking about, but he did.
If the stone was really ice green, it could have bought his whole shop and his house for a lot more.
Elsa also ran over and said with a smile: "Then let the boss open it, if it's real we'll be able to do a big job tomorrow."
