An Agate Chick Worth RMB 130 Million

In June 2001, 75-year-old Zhang Jing contributed more than 10000 pieces of strange stones collected by him to the Government of Chaoyang District of Beijing City, China. More than 1000 of them are the fine, unique, rare, strange and special stones. For example, the agate chick only is worth RMB 130 million (this is a lifelike agate chick pecking the eggshell and craning its neck to look around). The stone that looks like a man from other planet is worth RMB 30 million. The statue of Buddha sitting with his closed eyes, the rare stones of horse and the flying saucer are worth RMB several thousands.

In early 1980’s, as he lost his way, he accidentally went to a place named the Agate Lake——a depression in vast Tenggli desert of China. In this place Zhang Jing discovered these rare stones named the Fengling Stone, and the Gobi Stone in China. But, not all of the stones in the Agate Lake are the rare stones. In order to look for the rare stones, Zhang Jing went to the Agate Lake for tens of times although he knew that the vast expanse of desert would take his life accidentally. There are no water, and no signs of human in the Agate Lake. He confronted many times with crowds of wolves and he nearly died there many times.
