Recently, Montien, a Thai truck driver, bought some conchs in the market and planned to taste them with his family. Because his wife nagged about eating seafood, he bought a string of clams at a stall in the seafood market at Linchaban Wharf, and prepared to go home for a barbecue. His son liked the only yellow conch in this pile of clams so much that he spent an extra 50 baht to take it away. His son ate an orange bead the size of a coin while eating conch, which was later identified as Merlot Pearl. Merlot pearl, also known as Dragon Ball, is a natural gem. Because it cannot be cultivated artificially, orange pearl is the rarest. According to the market valuation, the price of this dragon ball is about 6.5438+0.75 million yuan. ?
The truck driver Montien said, "As soon as I saw this pearl, I knew it was special." This is my instinct, so I am glad to have a certificate to appraise its value. He also said that he had put the pearl in the bank safe, but he would sell it, but don't worry. It's like winning the lottery, but he will continue to work. If you can get a good price, you can retire and stay with your family.
A few weeks ago, a fisherman found a similar pearl on the beach, worth about 250,000 pounds (about 2.24 million yuan).
So why are Merlot pearls so expensive? Merlot pearl is produced from Merlot conch. Although people have tried their best to cultivate this kind of conch artificially, there is no way to succeed. The formation of natural Merlot pearls is very difficult, and only one pearl can be found in thousands of Merlot shells. Merlot pearls with bright colors, large particles and nearly round shapes are even less common. Therefore, the Merlot pearls that Thai drivers are fortunate to get are very rare, and it is no wonder that the valuation is so high.
Merlot pearls are different from those cultured in fresh water. They have no pearl and beautiful enamel luster. Melo pearls with bright colors are more precious, among which papaya orange and orange red are the best. Merlot pearls are called. Dragon ball? Because there are beautiful flame lines on the surface, this is also a highlight of it.
There is also a kind of conch beads, similar to Merlot pearls, which have no nacre and beautiful flame patterns; The difference is that it is pink. This kind of conch beads are expensive in rose pink, isn't it very girly? But the price is still expensive, usually tens of thousands of dollars per carat.
These pearls are very delicate and will fade when exposed to the sun or irritating cosmetics for a long time. If you have such a precious gem, please take good care of it.
