Giant "emerald" gems appeared in Wuhan, valuing 80 million

Yesterday, a rare emerald ring with a net weight of 19.6 carats appeared in the Xudong Antique City in Wuhan, and was appraised by the national appraisers as 80 million RMB.

Yesterday, the reporter had the privilege of seeing this huge emerald diamond ring. The base of the diamond ring was made of platinum. The main stone was inlaid on the base. The square facet was about 15 mm long and about 3 to 5 mm thick. Set with many small diamonds. Mr. Wu, the holder, would not reveal his real name and claimed to be engaged in “Shenzhen Enterprise”. He has been planning to open a private gem museum. He said that this emerald diamond ring was introduced by friends eight years ago and was purchased from a jeweler in Brazil for 4 million yuan.

Not long ago, Mr. Wu took this diamond ring to the Jewellery Testing Center of China University of Geosciences, Shenzhen for identification. The conclusion was “Emerald Ring” with a total mass of “36 g” (including small diamonds with a platinum base). The main stone weighs 19.6 carats. When he heard that Wuhan's national heritage appraisal and appraisers, Xiong Shenghua, claimed to be “misconceived to pay”, he made a special trip to the ring to find the “eye” of Mr. Xiong. He concluded that this is a rather rare emerald Treasures, according to the current market valuation, around 80 million ***. To be on the safe side, Mr. Xiong suggested that Mr. Wu be certified once again at the Jewelry Testing Center of China University of Geosciences, Wuhan. After identification, the results are consistent with Shenzhen's appraisal conclusions.

Yesterday, the reporter took a closer look at the "Jewelry and Jade Appraisal Book" with the same format and content base. It was found in one of the appraisal books that the "Glossy" column was filled with "Glossy Glass". Xiong Shenghua told reporters that "Glass Shine" is a description language, which means that the surface is similar to glass luster, and the nature of gemstone is not related to glass.

According to Xiong Shenghua, the emerald is known as the "King of the Emerald," and is one of the precious gems recognized by the international jewellery industry. In general, emerald stones with a net weight of 2 carats are already relatively precious, and it is particularly precious to reach 5 carats. Emerald stones with a net weight of 19.6 carats like this are rare rare things.
