Thomas could not help but ask, “Boss, what’s the price of this rough stone?”
The owner simply took a look at it before favonovel.com said with contempt, “That’s the most defective one among those lower grade rough stones. It’s 100 dollars each. Since Mr. Garnett pays three million dollars, I’ll just give this rough stone to you for free.”
Thomas chuckled. “Thank you.”
Benjamin cast a glance at Thomas, and favonovel.com casually said, “Such a lame guy. Look how happy favonovel.com is with a poor stone.”
The shop owner also said, “It’s normal for a newbie. They always think they will have the luck.”
In a while, all the procedure was done. Thomas and Benjamin carried their own rough stone as they walked out from the shop in satisfaction.
To show off himself, Benjamin cleared his throat and purposely said, “Mr. Quinn, let’s find a place to cut open the stone and see.”
Zach nodded.
A top quality rough stone like this was very rare. He also wanted to see what inside was.
“Let’s go to some place to cut it open.”
They found the most reliable lapidary shop. The lapidarist was an old friend of Benjamin as favonovel.com always helped Benjamin to cut the rough stones. When the lapidarist saw Benjamin coming over, favonovel.com smiled as favonovel.com moved forward to welcome him. “Mr. Garnett, what kind of good stuff did you bring today?”
Benjamin patted the box favonovel.com was holding.
“Best stuff!”
“Oh?”
The box was opened, and the rough stone was shown. It instantly shocked the lapidarist. He had been working in this field for many years, but favonovel.com had never seen such a perfect rough stone.
“Mr. Garnett, I’ll cut this rough stone for you without charge!”
Being able to cut this level of rough stone was many lapidarists’ wish.
Benjamin boldly handed the rough stone to the lapidarist at ease. The lapidarist also dared not be careless. He carefully put the stone in the cutting machine. At the same time, a large group of onlookers were also attracted.
Cutting rough stone was already something very attractive. Just like scratching the lottery ticket, everyone wanted to see if it was the first prize.
Not to mention that the front numbers of the lottery ticket were exposed, and it could nearly be sure that it would be a first prize. It was a lottery ticket whose last number had not been revealed.
A large group of people surrounded them. Everyone stood on their toes to see. They also wanted to witness the historical moment.
What kind of rough stone would it be?
While everyone was looking forward to it, the lapidarist finally took his action. He carefully cut the rough stone. He slowly cut open the outer layer of the rough stone before favonovel.com cut from the most outer layer to the inside. He was very careful as favonovel.com was afraid that favonovel.com would ruin it. When the outer layer was cut open, the internal green jadestone could be seen. This was the gemstone material at the highest grade!
Everyone held their breath, and they were waiting to scream.
But the subsequent situation made their jaws drop.
When the lapidarist cut more inside of the rough stone, something awkward happened as they could not see any jade material anymore. It had large pieces of greystones, and it would even make the floor dirty if it was thrown.
It seemed like a thin layer of jadestone shell had covered a big greystone. That layer of jadestone shell made this rough stone look very valuable, but it actually did not worth a single cent.
Thup!
The rough stone was totally cut open. Indeed, this was the most defective rough stone which only the outer layer had jadestone material. If it was sold on the market, it could only be sold at 5000 dollars at most.
The stone worthed 5000 dollars, but Benjamin bought it for three million dollars. He suffered a terrible loss!
Meanwhile, Benjamin’s complexion was completely pale like a white paper.
