Bi Fang stood in the sun and looked at it for a long time, then blurted out: "Emerald!"

Jade?

What kind of jade? Where can I find jade?

When Bi Fang pointed out the forest, the eyes of millions of viewers also moved accordingly.

Kogawa Koo and Minamoto Shizuka's eyes widened, and they were so shocked that they could not speak.

The drone flew before, passed through sparse trees, came to the steep slope, and looked down from top to bottom.

On a low mountain hundreds of meters high, a huge brown landslide is like an uncovered scar, with gray-white limestone, wet soil, fallen trees, and in the middle, an extremely huge boulder with a green cross-section.

Between brown and gray, this green color is quite conspicuous, and it is covered with spots, like a hibernating iron tip in the Mangshan Mountains. Part of the soil has been washed away by precipitation, leaving part of the trunk exposed to the air.

If this is really a snake, it must be one worthy of appearing in ugly sci-fi films such as "Monty Python vs. Crocodile" and "Monty Python vs. Spider". Not only Chinese audiences, but also Japanese netizens were all excited.

Jade is Japan’s “national stone”!

Not only China, but Japan is also very enthusiastic about jade. In 2016, they designated jade as the country's "national stone", which is evident from this.

Now that Bifang discovered the jadeite in the open air, his eyes turned red with jealousy.

This is just like walking on the street, and suddenly picked up a lottery ticket that won 100 million yuan!

What is this?

What's this?

I envy.

I'm jealous.

Tired.

No matter how much the audience is wailing in their hearts, they have to offer congratulations at this moment, and then secretly express their jealousy. [Jade, it’s really Jade, I won’t admit my mistake!]

[What a big piece, too big!]

[Damn, I’m getting rich]

"Is it really jade? Could it be that you saw it wrong?" The female commentator was still in disbelief, "How much does it cost for such a big piece?

Kogawa Xiaofu made an estimate: "It's one cubic meter, right? Look at the cross section?'

"It's amazing. This earthquake actually shook out the jade buried in the ground. Is there an jade mine here?" If it is really jade and it is so huge, it can't be just this one, right?

Thinking of this, the audience became even more excited.

How much does a mine cost?

Most of the audience are ordinary people. They don't quite understand the specific value of a mine, but they know clearly that this will be an astronomical figure.

After all, anything related to "mountain" is not a simple matter.

[Boss Fang has become rich again, hey, why should I say it again]

[Fast forward to the entire hill under contract and start mining]

Bi Fang was also a little nervous. The feeling of discovering a windfall was so sudden that it could make one's heart skip a beat.

"Don't worry, let's go down and have a look. I think it looks like jade, but it may not be true. Maybe I saw it wrong. It looks like a piece of chlorite. They are all green.'

Jade is a jade-grade stone polycrystalline aggregate formed by geological processes, and chlorite is basically the product of the alteration of pyroxene and hornblende.

However, the former is a precious stone - jade, and the latter is an ordinary igneous rock, that is, magma rock, a worthless thing. The difference between the two can be seen at a glance, and Bifang's eyesight is not that bad.

What I meant by saying this was that I wanted to calm down my excitement. Both myself and the audience were a little excited. After breathing a few times and regaining his composure, Bi Fang came to the slope and lowered his head to look down.

Fortunately, there is also a forest below the slope rather than a residential town, so no casualties were caused.

There are no trees here, so Bi Fang tied the rope to a big tree not far away that was not in danger of landslides, then stepped on the boulder along the slope and approached the center of the scar.

[Old Fang, are you sure this is jade?]

[I feel like a green marble (funny)]

[It’s different from what I’ve seen before]

(What is jade]

(a kind of stone)

Asian audiences are very familiar with the word jade, but foreigners don’t know much about it, and some have even never heard of it.

"It's a very beautiful stone, similar to diamonds, but I personally feel that jade is much more valuable than diamonds," Bi Fang couldn't help but say.

The so-called gems, to put it simply, are beautiful and rare stones that are loved by everyone because they are beautiful and valuable because they are rare.

This is especially true for jade. Jade is very scarce, let alone the king of jade, jade.

Coupled with the cultural bonus of China for thousands of years, this is even more true.

As for diamonds, in Bifang's eyes, they are really worthless.

If you have watched the movie "Blood Diamond" by Leonardo DiCaprio, you will understand that the amount of mining of this thing is unbelievable. There are a lot of mineral veins in Africa, and charcoal can be formed under high temperature and high pressure conditions. The "scarcity" is entirely due to monopoly.

In the past, if it couldn't be artificially synthesized, it would be permanent. If it could be artificially synthesized, it would be natural. It would be cutting technology and other certifications. Bi Fang saved a chief before and gave him a small package and a thick stack of certificates.

.

Now that the technology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has made another breakthrough, diamonds can be grown. They are truly natural. I don’t know what diamond dealers will say.

Jadeite is different. The conditions for its formation require regional metamorphism to occur first, the desilicification of native albite to form jadeite, and then plate collisions, resulting in low-temperature and ultra-high-pressure conditions.

Low temperature and ultra-high pressure. When you hear this, you will know how outrageous it is. It is a completely contradictory condition.

Because in physics, the deeper you go into the mantle, the greater the pressure and the higher the temperature.

But jadeite requires low temperature and high pressure, as well as continuous application of ultra-high pressure. Low temperature represents the shallow surface, and high pressure represents the deep strata. Therefore, theoretically, such conditions do not exist.

This is the first time for many viewers to hear this answer.

(Holy crap, where did this thing come from?]

"This is related to the theory of plate tectonics in geology. The point is located near the junction of the Eurasian plate and the Indian Ocean plate. Tens of millions of years ago, the Indian Ocean plate and the Eurasian plate collided, which provided ultra-low temperature for the formation of jade.

High-pressure conditions.”

"The Mengong area of ​​Myitkyina in the north of Mian Dian is deeply favored by God. Its location just meets the geological environmental requirements for jade mineralization. Such harsh conditions can be said to be unique. Here is almost all gem-grade jade.

The only place of origin.'

It can be said that the gem-quality jadeite in the entire world is only found in a belt of more than 200 kilometers long and 15 kilometers wide, and in individual areas of this belt, most of the quality of the mined jade is extremely poor.

It can be called a gem.

As for synthesis, what comes out is just slag.

Isn’t it outrageous?

It’s not that they don’t exist in other places. In addition to pastries, they are also available in six locations: Guatemala, Japan’s Honshu Island, Columbia, Old Zealand, California, and White Bear. However, they cannot be said to be gems at all. The quality is so poor that it is embarrassing.

, there is no top-grade jadeite at all.

It's a greener, smoother stone.

The most typical one is Huaxia Yunnan. Not to mention the quality is inferior, it is not even available. It is obviously in the same zone, less than 150 kilometers away from the Menggong area.

This is because Yunnan and the Menggong area in Myanmar both belong to the plate interface zone, but on the Chinese side, it belongs to the compression and uplift zone, while the noodles belong to the extinction boundary, which is the orogenic belt.

In the collision mountain system, the position with the greatest stress point is the extinction boundary orogenic area, and the force of the ascending zone is used to arch the mountains. Therefore, there is only the low-temperature and ultra-high-pressure environment required for the formation of jade at this point.

The location of this point happens to be where the Menggong area is located.

It's just a bit surprising that the geological environments on both sides are completely different.

It is so rare that jade mining has become a pillar industry of pastries.

The waist does not count.

Bi Fang said: "So don't be too excited. Take a step back. Even if it is really jade, the quality cannot be too high. Moreover, it is still mountain material, so the difference is even worse."

Many viewers didn't quite understand the Tao Dao inside and asked what mountain ingredients were.

"Mountain materials are jade from the mountains. In addition, there are also seeds. The seeds are dropped into the river through various accidents. After countless years of erosion and material exchange, a layer of stone skin shell will be formed. Inside

The jade is also smoother.'

"There is no mountain material, so we can see it directly exposed. Otherwise, I wouldn't recognize it and would think it is an ordinary stone."

The jadeite in the mine is a static environment, hidden deep in the rock mass from beginning to end, lacking external polishing force, the skin is incomplete, or there is no skin, the shape is sharp and angular, and there is no roundness.

Bi Fang tightened the rope and after confirming that it was firm, he came to the edge of the steep slope and stepped on a rock. After stabilizing his body, he spotted the next rock and jumped lightly over it.

The stones here are half-stuck in the mountain, exposed due to landslides, and are not necessarily strong, so Bifang made small movements very carefully.

The drone flew over Bifang's head, and when shooting downwards, it looked like a stunt performer stepping on a ladder in the air.

There was a crash.

A semi-protruding boulder fell off from the mountain wall. Bifang missed his footing and jumped out from the mountain wall on the side. He came to another boulder. Unexpectedly, this boulder was also loose. After supporting it for a while, it also broke.

fall.
