There are many exotic places in China's vast land, attracting countless people to visit and explore. Especially in the northwest, because of its vast territory and sparse population, the landform has been preserved to the greatest extent, and each province has its own unique "characteristics". For example, in this province of Xinjiang, the terrain is very complicated, including mountains, basins, deserts, Gobi and so on. Relatively speaking, the topography of Inner Mongolia is more "special", because it is long and narrow, so it is rich in landforms.
In the past, when people came to this place to play, their first impression was that it was particularly empty. The locals are good at riding horses and like to eat mutton. In fact, another feature of this province is its rich mineral resources. You will also find some "strange" stones on the road. Do not underestimate them. Some things are of high value and can be sold at a good price.
But if you want to find the treasure, you need good luck, just like buying lottery tickets. Today's story takes place in a dry lake in Inner Mongolia. Because there are many grotesque "colored stones", people see it and pick it up out of curiosity. However, when it was later known what it was, the local government "repented" and lost 2 billion.
Tourists like to drive on the Inner Mongolia prairie, because this place is too vast and the driving is smooth. On this vast grassland, there are herders herding sheep and yurts. With its unique customs, humanities and beautiful natural scenery, it has attracted countless tourists to watch. People's perception of this place is that it is beautiful. In the past, there were beautiful lakes in the local area, and the water plants were particularly rich, which reminded people of "Song of Chile": the sky was gray, the wilderness was boundless, the wind blew the grass and the cattle and sheep were low.
In a lake in this area, due to the bad weather, the lake slowly dried up, leaving only a cracked river bed. When the riverbed bottomed out, people found those colorful stones at the bottom of the lake. I didn't care at first. After all, pebbles are nothing unusual. They are just souvenirs. These stones are of different shapes and sizes, colorful and beautiful. If I knew what it was, I'm afraid I would pick up more.
After the news spread, people came to pick up stones in about three years, which attracted the attention of relevant departments, and relevant experts also conducted professional research here. Later, it was discovered that the stones here were not pebbles at all, but agates. In other words, what people pick up casually is priceless. The dried-up lake bottom in Inner Mongolia is covered with "colored stones", and no one is responsible for picking them up, resulting in a loss of 2 billion in three years.
Agate itself belongs to ore, formed in geological activities, and has been buried deep underground in the past. If the river bed hadn't dried up, I'm afraid no one would have noticed. The local government is even more "complaining". I didn't expect to lose so much if I was not careful. Agate is an important object in Buddhism and is called one of the seven treasures of Buddhism. According to experts' estimation, the agate seen for so many years is worth about 2 billion.
Summarizing this matter is a lesson that needs the attention of local government departments. Usually pay more attention to small things, minerals themselves are national treasures, or they will lose a lot.
