Chapter 573: 572. Sunset Sky (1)
Finally, Li Du saw this opal.
Without his instructions, he simply climbed down and picked it up with his paws, and handed it to Li Du.
At the end of the day, Ganchamian already understood that Li Du needs this kind of red stone. Sometimes when it digs up preserved fruit, it finds opal, and it will take the initiative to dig it out and hand it to Li Du.
After receiving this gemstone, Li Du was very happy to feel its heavy weight.
He wiped the big gemstone clean with his clothes, and then looked at it with the light of a flashlight.
After only one glance, he was suddenly stunned!
Just now he only noticed the size and purity of this gemstone, but he didn't look carefully at the pattern inside it, because it was stained with a lot of mud and it was not easy to see clearly.
After wiping it clean, he realized what treasure he found!
The fist-sized opal stone is still generally oval in shape, its texture is pure, and the flashlight shines on it, and the light penetrates it effortlessly.
The upper part of the gemstone is orange-red, and the lower part is scarlet. Among them, the clear part is the upper part, and the scarlet part below is some floating impurities.
Among them, there is a semicircular impurity between the upper and lower parts, because the upper part is orange red and the lower part is scarlet red, so it presents a mixed red color.
Combined together, the scene in the gemstone is the orange-red sky, the mixed red semi-circular sun, and the scarlet clouds. It is simply a natural sunset beauty!
Li Du was stunned. It was the first time he saw such a magnificent and realistic natural scene in the stone.
The moment he saw it clearly, he thought he was dazzled or saw a hallucination, so he couldn't help rubbing his eyes.
But when he opened his eyes again, what he saw was still a miniature version of the afterglow of the setting sun!
He is not dazzled, and this is not an illusion, he has really found such a breathtaking gem of beauty!
In an instant, he understood that he had obtained a priceless treasure, which was a piece of fire opal that could truly be called 'priceless'!
The sunset scene in this gemstone is so realistic and beautiful that it does not seem to be natural, but it is like a masterpiece poured by the artist with painstaking efforts.
Anyone who sees this gem and this scene will sigh that nature is really amazing to form such a gem.
This is true miracle!
What was even more astonishing was that Li Du slowly turned the stone, and under the light of the flashlight, the scarlet cloud in the stone seemed to be drifting slowly...
From a certain angle, there are a few small black spots at the bottom of the stone. If it is a failure in ordinary opal, it becomes the finishing touch in this sunset scene.
These little black dots reminded Li Du of the late birds he and Sophie saw yesterday evening when they were watching the sunset.
"Thank God for the meal!" Li Du couldn't help moaning.
He didn't know how Bian He, a native of Chu State, discovered He's Bi, more than two thousand years ago, how he felt. In his mind, he must be no different from himself now!
Fire opal is a precious gem, and this opal is impeccable regardless of its size and purity. If there is no beautiful sunset inside, Li Du estimates that it can be worth tens of millions of dollars.
Now with the beautiful sunset, this piece of fire opal has become a priceless treasure. If he has to evaluate its value, he can only describe it as 'invaluable'!
After getting this gem, he, who has always been free and easy, also worried about gains and losses.
He quickly put away the gem and looked around worriedly.
If such a stone were found in the wasteland, it could lead to a murder!
Fortunately, the surroundings are still quiet, only the sound of the wind blowing in the stone forest, and only one Godzilla sitting by the campfire and concentrating on grilling sausages.
He recalled the little flying insect and let it use the supernatural power of reversing time on this gem.
Although he knew it was a natural gemstone, he couldn't help being afraid, afraid that it was a synthetic product, and afraid that he would be happy in vain.
The scene changed, this opal appeared in a pile of rubble, and the following scene was always like this, it stayed in the rubble until it was dug out by the crispy noodles.
Li Du is sure, this is definitely a natural gem.
He went back to the pickup and found a box to put it in, and then put it in the backpack, which he would never let go of when he decided to stay in the national park.
He also thought of the name of this gem, and it was called 'Sunset Sky', because he thought of it the first moment he saw the gem.
With the sunset sky, Li Du is more motivated to search for Opal.
The little flying insects continued to fly among the rubble piles under the ground, and he found four or five opals one after another, but they were all small, only the size of his thumb.
Li Du was not disappointed, but even more delighted. The appearance of these opals proved the preciousness of the sunset sky!
He was still in the excitement of finding the sunset sky, and he had been controlling the little flying insects to work, when suddenly an exclamation sounded in front of him: "God, Li, what's wrong with you?"
Li Du raised his head blankly and said, "Ah? What's wrong with me?"
It was Sophie who appeared in front of him. She came up and touched Li Du's face, then squeezed him, and said seriously: "Go and rest! You must rest!"
As she spoke, she looked at Godzilla again: "Get a bottle of oral glucose solution, hurry up!"
Li Du asked strangely: "What's wrong?"
Sophie took out her mobile phone and turned on the camera to show him. What Li Du saw was an extremely tired face: pale complexion, dull eyes, swollen eye bags, and scattered eyebrows.
"This is me?" He wanted to get up in shock, but he almost fell down when he tried his best. Only then did he realize that he was too exhausted, and he didn't even have the strength to stand up!
Godzilla quickly brought the oral glucose solution, and Sophie fed Li Du two bottles in a row, then took Godzilla to lift him into the tent, and said, "Sleep! You must sleep today!"
Li Du also realized the problem, he retracted the little flying insect, and suddenly, a sudden exhaustion hit his whole body.
Before he even had time to think about what happened, he closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep.
When he woke up again, he opened his eyes and saw a big ferocious mouth and sharp teeth.
This startled him, but when he closed his mouth, he realized that it was Meow, who happened to yawn just now.
Seeing him wake up, Ah Miao was very happy, and jumped on him all of a sudden, meowing.
Li Du pushed it away and hurriedly searched for the backpack. Fortunately, the backpack was beside him. He opened the backpack and took out the box, and the setting sun stayed inside intact.
Seeing this, he breathed a sigh of relief, and murmured: "Made, I'm in a state of obscurity!"
The tent was opened, and Sophie's pretty figure appeared in front of him, asking, "What did you just say?"
Li Du put away the box and said, "It's nothing, I said I was confused by the gems."
Sophie said angrily: "You just lost your head, you know? If we didn't find out in time, you might fall into heart failure!"
