An unknown map, 1919, Kuvayevich Antonov.

Yang Jing really didn't expect that so many things could be identified in a mere appraisal. And what Yang Jing didn't expect was that there was another universe in this totem pole, and there were nine treasures of inestimable value hidden in it.

The scientific name of red sapphire is corundum, just like the scientific name of diamond is diamond.

And according to the identification results given by the holy ring, there are actually two sapphires, two rubies and four diamonds hidden in this miniature totem pole. Although I don't know what the last unknown map is, these eight gems alone are enough to make Yang Jing's heart flutter.

Red sapphires, like diamonds, belong to the category of the world's top five gemstones. They are absolutely high-end gemstones, and any kind of them is very valuable.

But what are these eight gems hidden in this miniature totem pole?

Gem-grade blue corundum, needless to say, is sapphire. The most important thing is the origin of these two sapphires, which come from the Kashmir region.

What kind of sapphire is the sapphire from Kashmir? There is no doubt that it is the most noble, valuable, and best-looking sapphire, and the rarest Kashmir sapphire on the planet, also known as cornflower sapphire.

Cornflower sapphires are an intense blue with a hazy purplish hue, giving them a velvety appearance. The mine located at the southern foot of the Himalayas has been exploited in large quantities since 1861, and it was officially discontinued in 1887. During this period, it was only mined for more than 20 years. Therefore, it is extremely rare and of great value, and is sought after by connoisseurs and collectors. . Now, once this kind of cornflower sapphire appears at major auctions, it will often fetch a sky-high price.

Cornflower sapphire is recognized as the best sapphire in the world, none of them, whether it is Sri Lankan starlight sapphire or Burmese sapphire, is far inferior to cornflower sapphire.

It is no exaggeration to say that if the sapphires produced all over the world are made into a crown, the most prominent position in the middle of the crown must belong to the cornflower sapphire.

Because the sapphire mine in Kashmir only produced for 20 years more than 100 years ago, and the date of mining is only two or three months a year, the output of Kashmir sapphire is extremely low. As a result, in modern times, this extremely precious sapphire has become extremely rare, and its value is even more difficult to estimate.

And here suddenly appeared two Big Macs with a size over 60 carats, how could this prevent Yang Jing from being moved?

Just for these two cornflower sapphires, let alone 30,000 US dollars, even 3 million US dollars should be bought.

There are also those two gem-grade red corundums, which are still produced in the Mogok area of ​​Myanmar. Needless to say, these must be pigeon blood red rubies produced in Mogok, Myanmar.

If cornflower sapphire is the emperor among sapphires, then Mogok pigeon blood red ruby ​​is the emperor among rubies.

If two sapphires and two rubies were a colossal shock, those four diamonds below were an earthquake.

Especially the gem-quality purple diamond weighing 24 carats, which is actually a purple diamond!

Diamonds are currently the most valuable gemstones in the world. The larger and the higher the clarity of a diamond, the higher its value. But most diamonds have a little color, and only a few colorful diamonds can be called colored diamonds, so the value of colored diamonds is higher than ordinary diamonds.

Under the same weight, the value of colored diamonds is often several times or even ten times that of ordinary diamonds, and the value of the rarest purple diamond among colored diamonds is hundreds of times that of ordinary diamonds of the same weight.

This is definitely not an exaggeration. In August 2015, at the Argyle Diamond Mine in Western Australia, the Rio Tinto Group unearthed a rough purple diamond weighing 9.17 carats, which was then carved and turned into a diamond. A 2.83-carat oval-shaped purple diamond, the conservative valuation of this purple diamond is as high as 4 million US dollars, and the average price per carat exceeds 1.4 million US dollars!

This is the charm and value of purple diamonds.

And in this miniature totem pole, there is actually a purple diamond weighing 24 carats hidden. Even if this purple diamond is just a rough stone, its value is hard to estimate.

And those two colorless diamonds are real colorless diamonds. Maybe colorless diamonds are not as valuable as colored diamonds, but they are also extremely precious.

Compared with this extremely rare purple diamond, the 36-carat pink diamond is also invaluable. Of course, with the addition of the two colorless diamonds, the value of these four diamonds is hard to estimate.

As for the unknown map, Yang Jing felt even more itchy.

Through the explanation of the Indian stall owner, Yang Jing knew that this miniature totem pole was not made by the ancestors of Mazululu, but came from the Ojibwa Indian tribe on the Pacific coast, and it was brought by a Russian.

Needless to say, whether it is red sapphire or diamond, it should be the Russian who hid it in this miniature totem pole, and the map that can be stored together with the eight priceless gems

Although I don't know what the map is, it must be definitely not simple!

Even without that map, the eight gems hidden in this miniature totem pole alone are worth a fortune, why not buy it? A fool would not buy it!

Thinking of this, Yang Jing calmed down, and then said to the Indian stall owner: Tell him, just say that I am very interested in his miniature totem pole, and I will buy it for 30,000 dollars. column.

Hearing what Yang Jing said, the Indian stall owner was very happy, turned his head and chattered to the old Indian, and after a while, the old Indian bowed and bowed excitedly to Yang Jing

After Yang Jing spent 30,000 US dollars to buy that miniature totem pole, he had no interest in going any further. The things hidden in this totem pole are too irritating. Even though Yang Jing is now an out-and-out billionaire, nothing can replace this kind of excitement.

Clark, who was tall and tall, carried the miniature totem pole weighing about 40 kilograms and followed Yang Jing back. This kind of weight was nothing to this soldier king.

It's just that Yang Jing was very skeptical, how did he carry this totem pole to the flea market with the body of that old Indian man.

Back at the lodging place, several people first packed up all the harnesses and handicrafts sent by Old John and the Indians, and then Yang Jing got into his room and began to think about the totem pole. .

Seeing that Yang Jing attached so much importance to the totem pole, Fatty and Lin Dan followed in, and even Chris and the four of them also followed into Yang Jing's room.

Jing Gege, you attach so much importance to this wooden pillar, is it true that this wooden pillar is very valuable? The fat man sat down on Yang Jing's bed and asked with a smile. As for Yang Jing's bed, under the fat man's pressure, there was a squeak sound that made people's teeth sore.

Yang Jing looked up at the fat man and asked, Did you see it?

Nonsense, we have slept in the same room for two years, and I know what kind of sheep dung you are going to pull as soon as you stick your butt. Your behavior today definitely shows that this wooden pillar is a good thing.

Yang Jing pointed to the fat man with a smile, without saying anything, but lowered his head and continued to study the totem pole.

Lin Dan at the side poked the fat man's fat waist, and asked in a low voice, Brother Yang, do you understand this?

Nonsense, if this guy doesn't understand this, probably not many people in the world understand this kind of thing. Let me tell you, Xiao Linzi, in September last year, Lao Yang and I went to a castle in England to do Cleaning up work. The fat man began to tell the audience about Yang Jing's acquisition of the three Picasso sketches.

In the United States, of course, Fatty is not worried about Lin Dan and Chris leaking out the three Picasso sketches that Yang Jing found at the beginning, and now it’s a done deal, even if the Vardy family is looking for it, it’s already too late .

Lin Dan and Chris were taken aback by Fatty's narration.

How about it, Lao Yang, is it better? Let me tell you, this guy is so awesome now! The three Picasso sketches that I bought in the UK are nothing, and the precious manuscripts and documents that Lao Yang bought in China are nothing. It’s just an awesome deal, less than $400, in exchange for manuscripts and documents worth more than $70 million!”

Hiss... There was a gasp in the room, and the eyes of several people looking at Yang Jing were already shocked with a hint of fanaticism.

While Fatty was bragging with Lin Dan and the others, Yang Jing had figured out the mystery of this totem pole.

This totem pole appears to be one piece on the surface, but it is not. The bottom of this miniature totem pole is actually hollow.

A total of four incomprehensible animals are engraved on this miniature totem pole, and there is a small mechanism on the monkey-like statue at the bottom. The key to the control of this mechanism is the monkey's tail.

Seeing through the eyes of the sky, this totem pole has no secrets at all to Yang Jing. However, the value of this totem pole itself is not low, and it is also a rare thing. Yang Jing didn't want to use violent means to destroy this totem pole, so he used the see-through skill of the sky eye, and finally found the key to the mechanism's control.
