China's vast land contains countless treasures that people want to explore. The Chinese nation has a history of 5,000 years, and has accumulated a large number of cultural relics and jewels in the long years, among which the night pearl is a rare treasure well known to the public. A man in Shaanxi dug up a huge night pearl in an abandoned mine in Xinjiang, and experts valued it at 2.6 billion.
In ancient times, the night pearl was a symbol of wealth. At the end of the Qing Dynasty, the ruler Cixi loved it very much and would enjoy it when she had time. After the death of Empress Dowager Cixi, she took the luminous pearl as a funerary object and buried it in Yu Ling. The night pearl buried with Empress Dowager Cixi was stolen by grave robbers, and its whereabouts are still unknown.
Many people are curious about why the night pearl is so valuable. The night pearl is special because of its formation. It was born because of crustal movement, and has been precipitated and polished for hundreds of millions of years. Things are scarce, and it takes a long time to build a night pearl. In 2004, Zhao Sheliang, a native of Shaanxi, discovered a luminous pearl weighing 6 tons.
The luminous pearl of Empress Dowager Cixi is far less than this one, and it is worth hundreds of millions, so this one is worth at least hundreds of millions. Zhao Sheliang is a jade merchant, so he has seen many rare treasures. He came across this huge night pearl. In the same year, Zhao Sheliang's business was frustrated, so he invited some friends to explore Lop Nur, hoping to find valuable jade here and solve the dilemma.
What Zhao Sheliang didn't expect was that his expedition would not only make his wish come true, but also earn more than before. They traveled all the way to Lop Nur, where they spent four months exploring. Like many classic treasure-hunting clips in movies and TV dramas, it is tense and exciting. The real treasure hunt is full of challenges and hardships. In the process of treasure hunting, it will be restricted by various conditions, such as climate, working hours, physical fitness and other factors will become obstacles in the process of treasure hunting.
A group of people often forget to eat for treasure hunting. After a period of searching, they didn't find any valuable jade. Zhao Sheliang's friends all had the idea of giving up. Only Zhao Sheliang is unwilling. He didn't want to waste these months, and he was going to stay and continue looking. They persisted in Lop Nur for several months, but got nothing. Several friends of Zhao Sheliang left one after another, leaving Zhao Sheliang alone to persist in treasure hunting, and her obsession supported Zhao Sheliang.
Zhao Sheliang arrived in Altay alone. He contracted a whole abandoned mine, hoping to live up to his expectations. This mine has been abandoned, and all kinds of resources in it should have been mined, so the possibility of finding the treasure is very small. Zhao Sheliang stuck to his idea and continued to mine abandoned mines. Residents nearby discouraged Zhao Sheliang from wasting energy, but Zhao Sheliang's attitude remained firm. Zhao Sheliang recruited several workers to start mining old mines together, and he followed them every day.
At the beginning, they found some small broken jade every day, and the texture of jade was not very good. But this is a good start, at least let Zhao Sheliang see the hope that there is jade in this waste mine. Zhao Sheliang was so excited for the first time in months. The discovery of jade refreshed him and the workers. They stepped up their work and dug deep into the mine.
What happened next made everyone present feel refreshed. A huge jade appeared in front of my eyes, shining. This kind of jade is dozens of times larger than ordinary jade. It took Zhao Sheliang and the workers three or four days to completely mine the jade. Seeing this huge glowing jade in front of us, people began to wonder how much it could be worth. Zhao Sheliang found a famous jade appraisal institution in Altay for appraisal. Experts were very surprised when they saw this jade, which is a priceless pearl.
This night pearl is delicate and pure, which is rare in the world. When this night pearl is placed in the dark, it will give off dazzling green light and illuminate the whole space. Zhao Sheliang was very excited by the expert's judgment, and finally got feedback after enduring the pressure for so long. Although experts did not make an accurate appraisal of this jade, Zhao Sheliang was not worried, because this jade is rare in the world and must be valuable.
Zhao Sheliang didn't sell the night pearl, but kept it at home and hired some skilled craftsmen to polish it. After polishing, the night pearl becomes more exquisite and round. After three or four years of polishing and finishing, the whole bead has shown a striking state, which makes the owner Zhao Sheliang very satisfied. This night pearl was exhibited in Hainan on 20 10, and people all over the world saw the true meaning of this treasure, which caused quite a stir.
This luminous pearl has also become a leader in the whole jade collection field, and people are very keen on this kind of treasure. Some experts also paid attention to the exhibition and appraised the night pearl. One of them said that the night pearl was worth at least 2.6 billion yuan. When the experts said this, many people were stunned, knowing that it was valuable but not knowing that it was so expensive.
Zhao Sheliang did not auction this bead, but continued to collect it at home. Perhaps for him, this bead can no longer be measured by money, and Zhao Sheliang has promoted it to the field of collection value.
