A stone that almost everyone deemed worthless had been cut to reveal green, a probability so rare here that it was hardly seen once in several years.
First of all, a stone must be appraised by the seller, who would filter out a large portion. Sellers who had been through the wringer in the world of gemstone betting were not exactly stone spirits, but they rarely misjudged.
The stall owner cutting the stone looked at the remaining piece, about the size of a fist, with the green in its center like the grass of spring, radiating a strong essence of life.
"This green, it even has a hint of the aura of imperial green, sizzle..." said a regular who had been playing with stone cutting for years.
At that moment, someone else interjected, "That's not quite right, the greenness has yet to reach the truest color, and the hues it radiates aren't blue yet, it's still lacking a bit before it can be genuine imperial green."
