Though it was cloudy last Sunday- May 24, 2015- the fourth day of the mineral show, people were still passionate to visit the show. According to the record, over 80,000 people visited there on that day. It was learned that in the first three days of the mineral show, about 120,000 people visited Chenzhou International Convention & Exhibition Center.
When reporters arrived at the center at 8:30 a.m. last Sunday, a 10meters long queue had been already there. Grandma Li and her husband were at the head of the queue. As informed by Grandma Li that they arrived there early at 7:30 a.m. because they heard that there were many visitors there. She said to the reporter: “we live in Chenzhou city for over half century, how can we not to have a look of Chenzhou’s treasures.”
Visitors went into the center orderly at 9:00 a.m. Just for a while, the center was full of visitors. In the center of the second floor, a 20meters long queue was formed there. What happened? 4 animation heads of the Old Summer Palace, the longest native gold of the world, “empress of China” rhodochrosite, and some other most precious treasures of the mineral show were being exhibited there.
“There are so many treasures exhibited in this mineral show.” Dong Jianguo- a staff of Guangxi Guilin Rare Stone Association said to the reporters, the exhibitors who came there did not only sell many products, but also bought some favorite treasures on the show.
Mr. Chen- one of the citizens of Chenzhou city traveled around the stands by taking along with a suitcase. Sometimes, he stopped in some stands to check some exhibits carefully. In the stand of Nike- an Indian exhibitor, Mr. Chen was moved by a zeolite and bought it in a price of 3000yuan. As said by Mr. Chen: “this kind of stone which has not polished and not installed with base is the highest cost-effective. It is the third piece of mineral crystals I bought in this show.”
Unlike some experts as Mr. Chen and Dong Jianguo, most citizens just got to know the mineral crystals for the first time. Calcite, fluorite, pyrite, crystal, aragonite, and other treasures dazzled visitors. But citizens who are outsiders of the treasures can feel free to buy the treasures, because they can take free test for all the mineral crystals, jewelries and jades in the verification zone in the second floor of the center by showing the staffs with the receipt of their treasures.
