Chapter 1319
“Keep cutting! Maybe it only has a small piece of jadeite on the surface!” Andy urged the staff.

“Oh, that’s possible!”
The others realized as they all saw how thest rock Andy selected contained only a small piece of
cloudy – clear jadeite on the surface.
As the rock Leon chose seemed to be of low quality, they realized that this might be the same situation
as Andy’sst rock.
“Snap!”
The staff cut again and revealed a shade of red inside to their surprise.
“It’s red!”
“Could this be a high–quality ice–clear jadeite with a shade of red?”
Jaws dropped around them.
Among the category of clear jadeite, the best quality of them would be referred to as ice–clear jadeite.
Though jadeites came in different colors, it was extremely rare for top–quality jadeite to contain other
colors and with each color it contained, its value would skyrocket.
“How could this be?” Andy paled.
He thought that a low–end rock would only contain a small piece of jadeite on the surface at best like
the third rock he selected. To his bewilderment, not only did it contain top–quality jadeite, its value was
multiplied by the shade of red found inside.
Despite the shock, Andy, who was still quite experienced in rock gambling, scanned the rock and soon
noticed that something was wrong.
“Come and see! The colorization of the shade of red inside is too faint and is close to the shade of
white! This might not be a top–quality jadeite!” He said hastily.
“That’s right!”
“The shade of red could affect its value!”
The other customers studied the rock and agreed along.
The colorization inside the jadeite often added to its beauty, but since the shade of red in the jadeite,
Leon picked took over arge proportion of the jadeite, it affected the degree of transparency, which
might lead to it being categorized as ordinary creamy–clear.
The color blue was mostmon in cream–clear jadeite and blue cream–clear jadeite was often
referred to as Frozen Blossom; the most desirable color would be green. Cream–clear jadeite that
contained this shade of color was referred to as Clear Imperial Green and was the most valuable of all.
On the contrary, red jadeites were often low in transparency and most of them would be categorized as
an ordinary or average ss.
Since the shade of red in Leon’s jadeite was not high in transparency and took over too big a
proportion of the piece, it ended up lowering its value.
“Mister, keep cutting!” Andy urged hopefully.
If the shade of red continued to appear in the cutting that followed, the jadeite’s value would continue to
drop and would eventually be worth the same amount as the flower–green he had.
‘At least I won’t lose to him that way!‘ Andy thought to himself.
