As Owen could tell that Li Du did not know ists were still appraising the geive hie about opal as its value was very high and it was all new to him In the future, he did not want to only find opal but other geemstones took a little e appraisal tiemstone was just two minutes
After the appraisal had ended, Owen took over the appraisal report and began deter the prices, Owen took sole piece of opal
Li Du said, ”I thought that since you coemstones every day, you would be sick of them by now”
Owen shook his head ”No, no, no, my friend If I weren't passionate about them, ould I be in this line of work?”
He raised a piece of opal and with a mesmerized look on his face said, ”See, there's a pattern forments inside Each one of them is so unique and so beautiful It's really miraculous”
”Isn't it just some inclusions?”
”Of course not,” Owen responded in a serious manner ”It's a world Ribbons, straws, husks of rice, a sea of flowers, lighting, and flames This is a God's world”
He rotated the opal in his hand The opal was not the largest, but it was a vivid red and had the rassland, with the few deep red protuberances corresponding to the flowers in the grassland
Earlier, the geave their evaluation on every aspect of the ge system by the International Colored Geeerarade fire opal and was valued at 500,000 dollars by Owen
Even though he was emstone was 500,000 dollars, Li Du's heart palpitated for awhile
USD 500,000 was not considered a lot as he had earned such an ae unit auctions before However, the valuable itee units usually only contained one valuable iteemstones here Moreover, in the National Park not far froe the price for opals was not an easy task as there were many factors to be considered There was nothe value of opal with 100-percent certainty In order to do so, experience was required
Owen did not only state the price, he also explained to Li Du how the price was determined, such as which areas increased its price and which areas lowered it
He even took out a thick album, which contained the pictures and prices of all the opals that had been sold in auctions and jewelry shops around the world for the past two years
According to those pictures, he would give the gemstones in their possession a base price, followed by adjusting the base price after coood and bad qualities of the stone
Ultimately, the price was discounted by 20 percent as Owen needed soe an opal's price was its blemishes For example, if an opal had noticeable cracks or many fine cracks, it would not have much value
”This piece has a void that was fore its price As such, I reckon its price should be lowered by ten percent?”
”Agreed,” Li Du replied
”Oh Oh This piece isn't so good It has potch lines See this grey line? That's a potch line It also has two air bubbles Sorry man, its price should be cut in half”
”Lower it by 40 percent,” Li Du said after soht I'll listen to you”
Just like that, with both parties continuously discussing the prices, the prices of the opals were finally determined
Co these prices wasthe prices He would not just state the prices, he would also justify them to convince Li Du
Moreover, even after some of the fire opals had their prices determined, Oould reevaluate their prices if he saw any problems with them, and inform Li Du of the reason for the reevaluation
The reevaluation process not only led to lowering the prices, but it also raised the prices of a few opals All in all, he tried his best to convince and please Li Du
