Chapter 38

Hailey didn’t know much about the good and bad types or the quality of emeralds, but looking at the cut of the stone, the watery greenness looked particularly pleasing to the eyes!

Manuel’s eyes lit up. He just wanted to jump toward the raw stone with his arms wide open and hug it.

Manuel had seen many different types of emeralds in his life, yet the brilliant green that he could see from the cut was unlike any other emeralds he had seen in his whole life. This jadeite seemed like one of the greatest treasures and was almost impossible to find!

“Well… Oliver!” Suddenly, Manuel grabbed Oliver’s hand and said, “Look, um… Why don’t you give me this stone? You can name your price, but you must give it to me. We’ll… We’ll become best friends from here on out!”

Oliver shook his head and said to Manuel, “Mr. Camden, I’m sorry, but I can’t decide on the sale of this stone. The trip we made this time was a business trip, so all the stones belonged to the store. It is up to Ms. Fox to decide whether to sell them!”

Manuel immediately turned to Hailey and said, “Hailey, I have a good relationship with your Dad and Mom…”

“Mr. Camden!” Hailey interrupted him and said, “My Grandma is going to have her 80th birthday next month. I was looking for a nice gift for her, so…”

Manuel immediately replied, “That doesn’t matter. What does your grandma like? Bracelets, pendants, or ornaments? I will arrange for the most experienced worker in carving to make it for you right now. The jade core in this stone seems to be at least 11 pounds. According to this mass, we can make at least eight to ten bracelets without problems. This kind of top-level emerald bracelet can be sold for millions of dollars, and the remaining leftover material can be used to make ten or twenty pendants. Even just one pendant can be sold for a few million dollars

An optimistic estimation for the raw stones, if they were sold as finished products, would be at least worth 300 million dollars or even more than 400 million dollars if Manuel pulled some strings.

An emerald of this level was a great treasure and was priceless. The number of this level of emeralds would only become less and less as more of them were dug up. It was no exaggeration to say that the finished products could be heirlooms handed down from generation to generation.
