If a treasure like this gets damaged, what a huge loss it would be!
It's not about just robbing other gangs.
Su Qiao relaxed his brows and said disapprovingly: "This thing is very hard and can't be broken."
Ruby is a type of corundum, second only to diamond in hardness.
If it breaks after being thrown like this, can it still be a ruby? A glass ball is more like that.
"Even if it doesn't break, it's not good if it gets scratched."
This is a gem, and a gem worth tens of millions or even hundreds of millions. It is not a roadside stone or a glass ball.
After hearing Master Yang say that it was true, Guo Yuan excitedly took a magnifying glass and observed the ruby on the table.
The more I watch it, the more I like it, and the more excited I get.
The purity, the head, and the color are all top-notch.
Master Yang also squatted beside the table and introduced softly: "Boss, this is genuine pigeon blood red, with very high purity, no heating, and unknown origin. It looks a bit like the goods from Myanmar."
Rubies have different pedigrees and their origins have different values. The rubies with the noblest pedigree are from Burma, and their price is more than twice that of Mozambique.
The most valuable color of ruby is the famous pigeon blood red, followed by pure red. Other purple red, orange red, or unsaturated colors, the lighter the color, the lower the price.
The higher the clarity, the rarer it is. It is harder to find a ruby with high clarity than a large ruby. If a ruby is both large and pure, it is a priceless treasure.
The one in front of us is top-notch in terms of weight, color, purity and origin.
When Guo Yuan heard that the goods were from Myanmar, he became even more excited and asked quickly, "How much does it weigh?"
"5.66 carats."
Master Yang was so excited that he danced with joy.
"This pure natural, high-purity pigeon blood red weighing more than 5 carats is hard to find among millions of rubies. It is extremely rare and a precious treasure that cannot be found often."
The weight of a ruby is directly proportional to its price. Different weights can lead to huge price differences.
For example, the current price of a 1-carat Burmese ruby is about $60,000, a 2-carat one is over $100,000, and a 3-carat one is in the seven-digit range.
3 carats is already a treasure, and those above 5 carats are extremely rare, attracting the world's top jewelers.
And the one in front of us may be able to make some top foreign collectors obsessed with it!
"I have been in this business for so many years, and I have only seen it once before at an auction in Hong Kong. It was a 5.2 carat ruby, but its purity was not as good as this one, and it was heated. At the auction..."
The auction price at that time was 180,000 US dollars, but it has been 20 years now. The price of rubies has risen rapidly in recent years and has already increased thirty times.
Thirty times that is 5.4 million US dollars, which is almost 40 million RMB.
The most important thing is that this one is heavier than that one, and its purity is also higher. It has not been heated yet. The price is conservatively estimated to be three times higher.
Unheated natural rubies are twice as expensive as heated ones.
As a businessman, Guo Yuan knew what to do and when to do it. He quickly suppressed his excited expression and sat back on the sofa.
"Ms. Su, your gem is real, its color and purity are top-notch, and its weight is also very rare, but you don't have a certificate, this..."
Su Qiao rolled her eyes at him rudely: "If I had the certificate, would I still come to you?"
