Opal, because its main origin is in Australia, so many people are used to calling him opal, the meaning of Australian gemstone.
Because it belongs to the color change stone, the color is very rich, set a variety of gemstone colors as one, is one of the most beautiful gemstones in the world, mainly divided into three categories, namely black opal, white opal and fire opal. 95% of the world's Opals come from Australia, and 90% of them come from South Australia, and the most valuable black Opals come from Lightning Ridge in New South Wales.
This is also Australia's 'national stone'.
In fact, this Opal belongs to opal, and China also has similar opals, such as Yuhua Opal, Hami Opal, etc., but compared with Opal, there are many gaps in color and quality.
Chinese do not know Opal, and there are not many people in contact with the domestic market.
But the status in the international jewelry industry is really not low.
It is equivalent to the jade in the eyes of Westerners.
Especially in Europe, Opal was known as early as the time of the Roman Empire and was extremely valuable!
According to Pliny's records, Noni, the senator of the Roman Empire, had a very beautiful Opal, which he loved very much, and the ruler at the time, Antony, asked him to contribute it, otherwise he would be exiled, and as a result, Noni would rather go into exile than give that Opal to Antony!
Every piece of Opal is unique, and you can never find two pieces of Opal that are exactly the same.
However, there is also a problem, that is, the price of Opal varies greatly, and there are too many factors that affect the price of Opal: embryonic body tone, brightness, pattern style, number and intensity of color change, etc., and the best Opal usually uses 'carats' to calculate the price.
The price of black opal can reach more than 10,000 US dollars per carat.
I don't know how many times more expensive than diamonds。。。。。。
It's also fun to see where Opal is made.
After listening to Betty's introduction, Xiao Peng went to the car to open the navigation and query map.
From here, it takes about 900 kilometers to get to Coober Pedy, and to Lightning Ridge, the distance is only 700 kilometers in a straight line, but around the Blue Mountains National Park, that's at least more than 1,000 kilometers!
Xiao Peng decided, after listening to the advice of others, he should go to Coober Pedy first.
Follow the directions and head west from your current location to the 'Death Highway', which runs 4,828 kilometres from north to south in Australia.
It's called the 'Highway of Death' because there's no more boring road than this one, straight roads with only wilderness on both sides, and the locals jokingly say that walking on this road can kill you in at least a thousand ways: hit a kangaroo, hit a cow, fall asleep while driving, etc。。。。。。
When Yang Meng and the others returned, the police car and ambulance were nowhere to be found.
These people are really inefficient.
The good news is that nothing has been lost, and the bad news is that neither the tents, nor the sleeping bags, nor their luggage have been soaked in mud.
In particular, the tents and sleeping bags were in tatters, and the first aid kits were completely destroyed.
As for the food?
It's all gone.
Supplies must be made now.
"It doesn't matter, it's almost in Gulburn from here, and we can buy new tents and sleeping bags over there.
I also suggest you go over there and add that there aren't many places to rest along the way.
Betty said.
Linda said with a smile on the side: "They are really not afraid of having no place to rest, such a good RV is here."
I didn't pay attention to it last night, and when I came back just now, I found out that this is a Mercedes Benz RV?
But I've never seen a car like this, did you rent it?
Where can I rent this car?
At the end of this ride, I'm going to rent one and go on a trip with my family.
I feel like driving this car, and I can go wherever I want to go in the whole of Australia. ” Xiao Peng shrugged: "This is also the purpose of our buying it." ” "The car you bought?
How much does this car cost?
Linda's eyes were turning into little stars.
Before Xiao Peng could answer, he heard the sound of an alarm.
As soon as Xiao Peng turned around, the ambulance finally came, accompanied by two police cars.
Xiao Peng asked Betty beside him: "You Australia also attach too much importance to catching criminals, right?"
Such a trifle to two police cars?
” Betty looked at the two police cars: "Shaw, isn't this a group of people, seeing those police officers with our Australian national emblem on their badges?"
Is that the Federal Police, see the eagle on the badge?
That's NSW Police. ” Xiao Peng pouted: "It seems that your Australian police are doing a good job?"
Joint case handling?

” Betty listened to Xiao Peng's words and looked shocked: "Xiao, you are the first person I heard praise the Australian police!"
I'll tell you a story that happened to me.
I parked my car in front of my house and got hit by a car.
The hit-and-run driver.
But the funny thing is that the license plate number of the vehicle that caused the accident was printed on my car!
It stands to reason that having a license plate number should be easy to catch people, right?
But more than half a month has passed, and no one has been caught.
I called to inquire, and the police told me that the police officer who handled the case had gone on vacation!
When he came back, the vehicle that caused the accident had already been repaired, and there was no evidence to arrest him!
If the only benefit of the Australian police?
That's the attitude, isn't it?
Other than that。。。。。。
Alas!
Now when it comes to '000', it's all a joke.
But speaking of which, they are not without highlights, dealing with traffic accidents very quickly, as long as someone calls the police, soon a police car, an ambulance and a fire truck come!
Efficiency, that's called a high. ” Xiao Peng was speechless, Australia's police number is '000', why does this deal with traffic accidents quickly?
Ambulance 。。。。。。
Fire engine......
Aren't all special charges there?
Is this a pole to make money?
However, Xiao Peng can also understand what Betty said, the efficiency of the Australian police, which is famous all over the world, is outrageously low.
It is not uncommon for the police to call the police after something has been stolen and wait for two hours for the police to arrive late.
However, when issuing tickets, the Australian police seem to be taking high-efficiency drugs, and the speed of catching speeding tickets is simply faster than turning a book!
But the Australian police are also 'unprovoked' police, and there have been cases of Chinese tourists being directly arrested by the police for open defecation, and if you know the truth, this matter really has nothing to do with racial discrimination or anything.
Because at that time, after the tourist was stopped by the police at the time of urinating and urinating, he insulted and even pushed the Australian police.
Well, it's not illegal to defecate anywhere, but if you dare to argue with the Australian police or something, well, this is considered a resistance to arrest, and this is a big deal.
Comparatively speaking, the Australian police are quite mild, such as the United States, when they encounter such a situation, they dare to shoot directly!
Many Chinese who have just gone to a foreign country just don't understand these things, and they still think that they are in China, and they have to let themselves toss into a big thing.
Including what happened to the police shooting suspects in the United States, why are the police often found not guilty in the end?
Just because those shootings were taken within the limits of their own duties!
This is the difference in national conditions, China is a reasonable country, first intercession, then reasonable; And these Western countries are all legal countries, and they first talk about the law and then reason.
When the ambulance arrived, no one got out of the car, and the police officers in the two police cars got out of the car.
The actions of the police when they got out of the car startled Xiao Peng and the others, and they directly took out the tasers they carried with them and aimed them at Xiao Peng and the others.
The taser gun, also known as the electroshock gun, has seen the movie "The Hangover 1" and will be impressed by this gun, which does not use bullets, but relies on firing electrodes with 'darts' to subdue the target.
Using high-pressure nitrogen as the driving force, when the trigger is pulled, the high-pressure nitrogen gas is quickly ejected, firing the two electrodes in the chamber of the gun.
After hitting the target, the battery in the chamber of the gun releases high pressure, causing the criminal's muscles to cramp and subdue the gangster.
"Hey, we're the informants!"
Linda pointed to Luke lying on the ground, "He's the murderer, we don't have a weapon, the weapon is there." ” After listening to Linda's words, the police put down the Lucer gun and signaled to the ambulance, and then someone got out of the car to rescue Luke.
This is also a characteristic of the Australian police, in their eyes, whose life is the most important?
First of all, it is its own, then it is a partner's, and then it is public.
The attitude of the police who led the team was very good, and they made a record for Xiao Peng, and Xiao Peng realized that the reason why the federal police and the state police had to come to this matter was because this was a gun-related case, and in Australia, as long as it was a firearm-related case, it was a big case.
According to the police's request, Xiao Peng and the others also had to go back to Sydney together to be investigated.
Xiao Peng is speechless, he just left Sydney and ran for a night and then went back?
Isn't that nonsense?
After thinking about it, Xiao Peng made a call to Moore's assistant Keith.

Tell Keith what happened.
Keith asked Xiao Peng to wait a little, and not long after, Xiao Peng's phone rang, and it was a call from a lawyer named Charlie Manorris.
After listening to Xiao Peng's account of the facts, Charlie asked Xiao Peng if he had any video records.
That's a must have!
There are no more than no Amodillo climbers, and there are fourteen cameras in the front and back of the whole car, up and down, left and right!
After buttoning up the phone, Xiao Peng directly sent a copy of the video material to Charlie's lawyer.
Not long after, lawyer Charlie called Xiao Peng: "This matter is very easy to do, the evidence is conclusive, and the lawsuit will definitely be won, I don't know what you want." ” "Put him in jail, financial compensation."
Xiao Peng said lightly.
Charlie was stunned: "Mr.
Xiao, as far as I know, Luke is of Chinese descent, and he also has a Chinese name, called Zhu Yixiao."
Don't they all say that Chinese help each other?
” Xiao Peng said lightly: "You have also seen the video, he has solemnly stated when he threatened me that he is Australian, and he insulted my motherland and my nation with insulting words."
So I won't let him go easily. ” Charlie pondered for a while: "Okay sir, I'll hand over to the police, and I'll handle the matter, you can rest assured to go and play, and we'll call you." ” Xiao Peng nodded: "Then thank you very much."
Don't worry, I'll give you a salary that satisfies you. ” Charlie smiled: "Then I will also return you a satisfactory result." ” The two exchanged another greeting, and then the phone was deducted.
Xiao Peng just hung up the phone, and when he turned his head, he saw Betty and Linda staring at him with wide eyes, and Xiao Peng thought that he was dissatisfied with accusing Luke like this.
Which Cheng wanted the two of them to scream together: "God, this car is 450,000 Australian dollars?
Damn, you Chinese are so rich!
