C195 Agate
Faang Cheng stood at the starting point of the desert, sighing over the mysticality of nature.
"Let's go, we will need more than half a day to cross the Gobi Desert. There are camels waiting for us at the border of the desert, and we must reach the first camping ground before sunset!"
Jiri Gela urged Faang Cheng.
"Alright!"
Faang Cheng withdrew his gaze and sat in the driver's seat of the car. Faang Cheng drove, and Jiri Gela sat in the front, while sat in the back. Then, Wan Anming drove, and sat in the car with Qi Shun, Zhang Zi Hua and Chu Xiaoxiao! This was the first time these people had come to a place like the Gobi Desert, so although they were here on a mission, they were still quite excited. They chatted non-stop along the way, the front and back cars even used radio to chat about the mountains.
The deeper they went into the desert, the more desolate the surroundings became. On the way here, there were some yellow-green short vegetation, but when they reached the deeper parts of the desert, their eyes filled with greyish black color, and because the desert was filled with broken rocks of different sizes, it was slowly getting harder to walk. The car kept bumping and shaking, causing everyone's heart that felt like they were on an outing to slowly disappear, replacing it was dizziness. This trip was definitely not a good experience!
The rocks on the ground would obstruct the driver from grasping the direction, and the steering wheel in his hands would sway left and right as if he was not listening to Faang Cheng's commands. When he came across a larger piece of rock, it would cause the steering wheel to almost fall out of his hands, and after driving for a while, Faang Cheng felt that his hand was drenched in sweat, and his shoulder was starting to ache from overexerting himself. He could not help but smile bitterly, as expected, the Gobi Desert was not that easy!
Just as Faang Cheng wanted to use his Spirit Qi to comb through his sore shoulders and arms, he heard some abnormal sounds coming from the back of the car. He anxiously looked behind him from the rearview mirror, and then saw that the back of the car did not seem to have a good control over the steering wheel, he turned and rushed down the slope.
Arriving at the top of the hill to take a look, Faang Cheng felt relieved. Although the slope was high, it was very slow and long, the car was only going down, there was no other situation, the car was parked steadily at the bottom, and the people in the car were getting off to check it out!
"Wan Anming, how are you guys?"
Faang Cheng shouted. He felt that his cries had been blown away by the wind, and it was probably because this place was too empty, and the sound gathering effect was very bad. After a while, a reply came from below.
"We're fine!"
Wan Anming's voice was cold, as though it carried a trace of anger. Faang Cheng was slightly speechless, what did the fact that he drove the car down have to do with others? Could it be because of him?
"It doesn't matter. The slope ahead is getting slower and slower until it is almost parallel to this road. We'll drive on the top and you guys drive on the bottom. We'll meet up in front!"
Jiri Gela was very familiar with this road.
"Then let's gather up in front!"
Wan Anming pointed in front with his face covered in dirt, but just as he was about to get on the carriage and continue his journey, he heard Qi Shun calling out to him from behind the tall naked rocks.
"Ms Fang, come take a look. What are these stones?" It's pretty nice to look at with all sorts of colors, could it be that it's worth a lot of money? "
Qi Shun seemed to have found something new behind the bare rock, and upon hearing his words, Faang Cheng couldn't help but become curious, so he decided to take a look! Faang Cheng carefully rushed down the slope. Gradually, Faang Cheng felt like he was getting closer to a ball of light Spirit Qi. He couldn't help but feel that it was a bit new.
"Could it be …" What good things would there be in this desert? "
"What's wrong?"
He walked towards the rear of the rock formation, and upon hearing Qi Shun's call, Wan Anming and the others also went over.
"Ms Fang, quickly take a look!"
Qi Shun pointed in the distance and asked Faang Cheng with slight excitement. Faang Cheng raised his eyes and looked in the direction of's finger and indeed, he saw a small depression in the ground in front of him that was filled with red, green, and multicolored stones.
"What is that …"
As Faang Cheng walked closer, the spirit energy became denser and denser. Although it was not as strong as the spirit energy found in the other antique jade stones, it was still pure spirit energy! After handling so many pieces of Ancient Jade Stone, Faang Cheng realized that the spiritual energy he could sense was the purest from the mountain rock. Could it be … Was this the jade in front of him?
Faang Cheng gradually saw what was inside the depression, it was indeed a type of jade.
"Agate Gobi?"
Gobi Agate was a type of Gobi Stone and also a type of Agate. It had a hard texture, a multicolored glow, and was moist like a crystal. It contained many kinds of trace elements, and it could be used as a treasure to ward off evil and protect one's life! The occurrence of the Gobi Agate dates back to roughly 1.5 to 300 million years ago, when a volcano erupted and cooled rapidly, and precious art ore was formed after weathered sea water, weathered snow, and drenching cold in the summer heat after changes in geomorphology. The Gobi Agate has been attracting attention with its natural, charmingly beautiful appearance. Its shape is beautiful and rich in color. It is irreplaceable by all gems!
In recent years, due to the uncontrolled mining and peddling by people, this kind of rare and unique stone that required tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of years to produce would gradually become scarce. One day, they would disappear from this world.
"Gobi agate? What was that? Is it valuable? "
The young Qi Shun excitedly asked Faang Cheng, while Chu Xiaoxiao and Zhang Zi Hua also looked at him curiously.
"Qi Shun, even if you don't want the money, you can't touch him!"
Wan Anming shouted sternly, scaring Qi Shun to the point that he immediately shut his mouth, but he still looked at Faang Cheng, who was standing on the side. Faang Cheng laughed helplessly, and shouted towards Jiri Gela who was on the side of the hill.
"Jiri Gela, let's rest here for a while. I want to take a look at this thing!"
"Alright!"
Jiri Gela agreed.
"But only for ten minutes. Otherwise, we won't be able to get to the base before nightfall!"
"Alright!"
As Faang Cheng said this, he squatted on the side of the hole and began to explain everything in detail to Qi Shun and the others.
"This is an Agate of the Gobi Desert, a type of Agate. However, its color is much more gorgeous and its shape is much more diverse than that of ordinary Agate. This is why high quality Agate of the Gobi Desert often appears!" I remember at the Beijing stone exhibition in 2016, there was a string of vein stone bracelet s among the agate in the desert that were bought away at a high price of five million. That string of bracelet s are known as the top-grade bracelet s among the onyx, with special meridians and magnificent colors, it's simply amazing! "
"Wow, it's that valuable?"
Qi Shun exclaimed, while Chu Xiaoxiao who was at the side also enjoyed looking at the beautiful little stones, girls all liked these things.
"Actually, that's not the case. In fact, most of the agate is relatively cheap, and only when the color, shape, and appearance are all very valuable can they be of a higher value! For example, the beautiful Mano Stone is not worth much money, if you like it, you can choose a few to go back and grind to become bracelet! "
Faang Cheng pointed at the Mano Stone in the pit, but Chu Xiaoxiao and the others did not dare to reach out for it.
Faang Cheng helplessly shook his head when he saw their expressions. Following such a superior was really pitiful enough, even picking up a few stones had to depend on his expression! Faang Cheng no longer looked at them, but instead picked up the Mano Stone seriously. Things that contained spirit energy were all good stuff, Faang Cheng would not miss them!
Within ten minutes, Faang Cheng selected an agate that was the size of a quail egg and a few veins that were slightly smaller. That quail egg was the size of an agate, and it looked like a human eye, with a greyish black pupils in the middle and milky white eyes in the outer ring. He planned to use this agate as the main stone and then use the other veins to make an agate bracelet.
Just as Faang Cheng was about to stand up, he saw Chu Xiaoxiao standing at the side with eyes full of reluctance, staring at those beautiful little stones in the pit. Her unresigned look caused Faang Cheng to feel pity for her, probably because men are all visual creatures, and it was easier for beautiful girls to be taken care of. Faang Cheng squatted down again and carefully chose a few pieces of the beautiful and transparent Sweet Heart Manus Stone, intending to secretly gift it to her behind Wan Anming's back as a set of bracelet, so that she wouldn't have any regrets leaving nothing behind!
