My Deep-sea Fishery

Xiang Yang picked up the black pearl and looked at it carefully.

The oval shape is not the top grade of black pearls, and the size is not very large. The most important thing is that there are no dazzling jewels on it.

Xiang Yang was immediately disappointed, this is a black pearl that has passed the shelf life.

The main components of pearls are calcium carbonate and water. Calcium carbonate will make the surface of pearls shiny and attractive, exuding a lustrous jewel.

But calcium carbonate has a lifespan, and it will slowly decrease over time until it eventually loses its luster and no longer has the quality of jewellery, nor the function of creating jewelry.

After finding a black pearl, Xiang Yang searched around more carefully.

The composition of pearls contains a lot of amino acids, trace elements and vitamins, which can not only be made into precious jewelry decorations, but also can be ground into powder and used as medicine. The medicine made of pearl powder can not only beautify and whiten, but also treat various injuries such as nasopharyngeal cancer, uterine cancer, and burns.

Black pearls are too rare, no matter how carefully Xiang Yang searched, he couldn't pick another one.

But Xiang Yang found quite a few ordinary white, light yellow, and pink pearls, among which the most valuable was a dark green pearl about the size of a pigeon's egg. The whole pearl is perfectly round, and the whole body exudes a noble and compelling aura of jewels.

This pure natural green pearl is far from being comparable to the artificially cultivated freshwater green pearl.

In terms of shape, artificially cultivated pearls may be more rounded than natural pearls, and they are more round and round after they are formed. Natural pearls have poor roundness on the contrary.

However, the structure and price of cultured pearls and natural pearls are completely different.

The inner core of artificially cultured pearls is artificially produced. There is a core when the pearl is worn. Although the surface is very beautiful, it is not the same as the outside and the inside. The skin is not smooth, and some even have nest skin. The structure of the pearl is relatively loose.

The core of natural pearls is natural quartz sand or other substances. After the pearls are formed, there is no core, and the inside and outside are the same.

There are also subtle differences in color between natural and cultured pearls.

Natural pearls are delicate in texture, soft in luster, and very high in transparency. Some of the best natural pearls are even translucent, while cultured pearls are not lustrous, often have small pockets on the surface, and have very low transparency.

An artificially cultivated green pearl the size of a pigeon egg can be worth more than 1,000 yuan after being polished by craftsmanship and made into jewelry. If it is worn with matching gold or platinum and made into a necklace, it can be worth 20,000 to 30,000 yuan.

Pure natural green pearls are extremely rare, and even people outside the circle have always believed that this is an artificially cultivated variety. There are no real pure natural green pearls in nature.

Because the quantity is extremely rare, the price is very expensive.

A natural green pearl the size of a little finger is dozens of times that of an artificially cultivated green pearl of the same size, and the price of a pigeon egg is more than a hundred times higher. If the shape of this green pearl is round or good-looking enough, the price can go up even more. cut.

The green pearl that Xiang Yang found was deep and transparent in color, and its shape was like a pigeon egg. It could be directly made into jewelry without much polishing. If it was sold in the jewelry market, it would definitely be worth more than 100,000 yuan.

As for those ordinary white pearls and pink pearls, they are not very valuable. The small ones can only be ground into pearl powder, and the larger ones cost tens of dollars each. Only those with a diameter exceeding 6mm can be worth hundreds of dollars each.

Although he didn't find the most expensive black pearls, golden pearls and the legendary red pearls, he was very satisfied to get a green pearl the size of a pigeon egg.

Swimming back to the place where the fishing boat was, he touched the heads of the two humpback whales, and then checked the straight-shelled nautilus again in the interlayer of the winch at the bottom of the ship. After confirming that the straight-shelled nautilus was fine, Xiang Yang climbed onto the deck.

Most of the crew members on the deck were watching a few old crew members playing golden flowers.

When Xiang Yang climbed onto the deck, Chen Qingzheng laughed loudly, Haha, I'm three, if it wasn't for the cap of ten yuan, I would have won all your pants.

What are you proud of? Didn't you just win ten yuan from me? If you play it, I will win it back. Zhou Wang rolled his eyes and said.

The cards will be dealt later, the captain is back. Xu Fang pressed Chen Qingsheng's hand and said.

Still playing? Xiang Yang said with a smile.

Xiao Yang, you've been down for so long to catch such a small amount of things? He Mingde pointed to the net pocket on Xiang Yang's waist, which only slightly bulged, and asked with a puzzled expression.

Xiang Chen lit a cigarette and said with a smile, Brother Yang, have you gone down to play? There are a lot of swimming crabs down here. Almost all the crabs we went into the sea caught more than thirty catties.

Except for a few old crew members who felt that diving all the time was not good for their health and were reluctant to go overseas, almost all the young crew members on the ship went to sea, and everyone gained a lot.

Xiang Yang went down for the longest time, and the crew members were just talking about whether Xiang Yang didn't like swimming crabs and went to catch lobsters, but after looking at it now, the net bag didn't look like it was filled with lobsters at all, and it wasn't even caught. Open it up, and the mesh sticks together so you can't see what's inside.

Xiang Yang tore off the net bag, grabbed a handful of pearls from inside, showed them to everyone, and then smiled: No way, these pearls are really not easy to find. I have been searching for so long and I can only find more than a catty. It’s quick to catch swimming crabs.” As for the first swimming crabs in the net bag, they were released by Xiang Yang.

what?

Fang Youqun uttered a sentence in extremely substandard English, his eyes widened.

Chen Qingsheng stood up from the deck holding the cards, thinking that playing poker would not be fun anymore.

My God, how much can you sell so many pearls? White, pink, green, colorful, and, damn it, there's also a black one. He Mingde stared at the pair of pearl eyes in Xiang Yang's hand. All straight.

All the crew members on the ship looked at Xiang Yang with a look of seeing a ghost.

They know about pearls, and they have all looked for them, but natural pearls can only be formed when they invade shellfish as an invasive species of mussels. Except for some special environments, it is difficult to form a large-scale pearl production area. Pearls are not so easy at all. found.

Xiang Yang secretly laughed in his heart, this is still the case where he hid the green pearl the size of a pigeon egg, if he took out the green pearl the size of a pigeon egg, I don't know how shocked these people will be.

They are all very common pearls, few of them are valuable. This black pearl is very rare, but unfortunately it has no luster now. Xiang Yang put a handful of pearls back into the net pocket, leaving only the black pearl to play with. .
