The 5th CMGS is getting closer and has attracted more than 100 exhibitors from more than 50 countries. What will they bring? On May 9, the reporter with a strong curiosity went into the hall in Chenzhou city with the good reputation of "capital of the mineral crystal" in advance.

 

"At present, the world's largest of tourmaline has arrived in Chenzhou and will be showed at the 5th CMGS."

About the story of this treasure, Zheng Jianrong said that in 1969, this red tourmaline was mined from a mine hold of Jonas Mines in Brazil. It has been treasured up by Dr. Richard Freeman in USA for 48 years, never show off. The treasure is the top mysterious collection in the world and will be the supreme exhibit in this exhibition.

 

As early as two years ago, Zheng Jianrong has followed up and coordinated to display this tourmaline in Chenzhou. In February, he discussed with Dr. Richard Freeman again to explain the charm of the CMGS and finally persuaded Dr. Richard Freeman to bring this treasure to show at the 5th CMGS.
