First popular science knowledge, sapphire does not represent the color is blue, but in addition to the red unexpected other colors, and even some sapphires may not have many colors sandwiched together, like our largest sapphire production area in China is in Changle, Shandong, in addition to the most rare place of origin is from Kashmir region.
In ancient times, sapphires were often regarded as a kind of protective treasure by rich and noble families, especially in terms of religion, and the sapphire we want to introduce today is from a tomb, this tomb we actually introduced many times, when the number of cultural relics it unearthed was considered to be second only to the Ming Ding Mausoleum, you can imagine how many rare treasures have been unearthed in this tomb!
This tomb is the Ming Dynasty king Zhu Zhanyuan and his wife Wei Fei joint burial tomb, with the villagers dug out an unexpected black hole in 2001, the archaeological team rushed to the scene to investigate, the result confirmed that there are indeed signs of tombs here, and this black hole is the tomb robbers with Luoyang shovel to dig out of the hole, for this time did make the archaeological team have a sad feeling in their hearts, it is estimated that the tomb was destroyed.
But the final result is exactly the opposite of the idea in the heart of the archaeological team, this Liangzhuang King tomb is not damaged at all, but also excavated a large number of rare treasures, but in the excavation process is indeed a lot of difficulties, just when you come to the tomb, found that although the tomb is not large, but the ground is silt, it is obvious that the water polluted here, just when everyone was at a loss, there were archaeologists who actually felt a lot of treasures in the silt.
You can't imagine that such a small burial chamber underground is full of treasures, it can be said that it is a random reach for gold and silver treasures, at that time, everyone can be excited, if it is their own, how good it is!
After counting a total of more than 5300 treasures, and one of them is the sapphire weighing about 200 carats, when this sapphire was set on the top of the top of the bright gold gemstone, the picture above is the top of the bright gold gemstone, which has many colors of gemstones, and this olive-shaped colorless sapphire is definitely the most attractive to archaeologists.
At that time, the olive-shaped colorless sapphire was identified and found to weigh about 200 carats, which was undoubtedly shocking, and it was definitely the largest sapphire found in China at that time, and it attracted countless tourists to visit.
Historians say that these gems are estimated to have been bought by Zheng He when he went to the West, and then talk about the value of this olive-shaped colorless sapphire of about 200 carats, there are indeed many experts who give a certain estimate, anyway, hundreds of millions is easy.
