E-Yucu Añute, "Cerro de arena" –Jaltepec, eNahuatl–, idolobha elingaphansi kombuso weMixteca Alta, iyindawo yokusebenzela yokubaza ngamatshe ebaluleke kakhulu.
Namuhla, indawo yokusebenzela isemnyakazweni omkhulu: umbusi uLord 1 Serpent uyalile ukuthi ama-jade, oluluhlaza, ama-amethyst kanye ne-rock crystal kusatshalaliswe phakathi kwama-lapidaries, amanye awo avela - njenge-jade ne u-turquoise - ovela emazweni akude, basanda kufika edolobheni. UJade utholakala edolobheni laseNejapa, kepha njengoba lokhu kunganele, kuthengiswa namaMeya; I-turquoise, ingxenye yayo, ishintshaniswa nabathengisi bomhlaba abatholakala kude kakhulu nenyakatho.
Umphathi we-lapidary (taiyodze yuu yuchi) uhlele indawo yakhe yokusebenzela ngezigaba, ngokwezinhlobo zamatshe. Indodana yakhe u-5 Zopilote uphethe ukwengamela umsebenzi wezingcweti.
Ngokuvama okuningana, umbusi uyala ukuthi kwenziwe amagugu ezimfaniso e-workshop: izindlebe, imigexo, amacici, namasongo nezindandatho, kanye nophawu lwayo: izindandatho zekhala, izinkinobho zekhala nezinduku. Uma kukhulunywa ngokusetha itshe eliqoshwe kahle ngegolide nesiliva, ama-lapidaries kumele asebenze ngokuhlanganyela nabakhandi begolide. 5 UVulture ukhumbula igolide elibabazekayo nejade bezote elenziwe ngubaba wakhe, owazuza ukuphelela okukhulu ngokudweba ikhanda lepheasant elivusa uYa Ndicandi (Yaa Nikandii), unkulunkulu welanga.
Okukhethekile kuka-5 Zopilote yi-obsidian, umlingani wokhokho, lapho eqopha khona amaphuzu afanele we-projectile kanye nezindlebe ezinhle zezindlebe, amavazi kanye namapuleti. Kudingeka ubuciko obukhulu ukuze kuncishiswe leli dwala lentaba-mlilo libe wubukhulu obuncane, ngaphandle kokuphula ucezu. Uyise wamfundisa ukusebenza amatshe, izici zelinye nelinye kanye nencazelo yawo yenkambiso; Manje usazi kahle kamhlophe ukuthi amashubhu wethusi nosayizi wethusi ahlukene asetshenziselwa izimbobo zokugqoka; amashizela netshe lethusi, okubaza; amabhodi we-emery, isihlabathi nezindwangu ezinhle, ukupholisha, nokuthi ekubazweni kwekristalu yamatshe kuyadingeka ukusebenzisa iphuzu lesafire, isipho sekristalu sikaNkulunkulu Wezulu (iDzahui), okunzima kakhulu ukufeza izindlebe, amathanga, ubuhlalu bomgexo, nezinto ezahlukahlukene, njenge-crystal goblet eyenziwe nguyisemkhulu, kumele kusetshenziswe ngawo wonke amandla nangekhono.
Uhambo lwe-5 Zopilote luqala ngovivi; Umsebenzi wakhe unzima: ngaphezu kokuqopha izingcezu ezithile, kufanele aqondise umsebenzi owenziwa kuzo zonke izigaba. Enye yazo inikezelwe ku-jade (yuu tatna), itshe elihlonishwa kakhulu elihlobene nonkulunkulu bamanzi nokuzala, okwakungagqokwa kuphela yizicukuthwane njengophawu lwamandla abo ezepolitiki nezenkolo; Lapha, u-5 Zopilote ubukeza izingcezu eseziqediwe: izindlebe, ubuhlalu bezimo nobukhulu obuhlukile - obuzosetshenziswa kamuva emihlobisweni nasemasongweni--, amapuleti anezimpawu nezithixo, amacici namasongo, umbusi athanda ukugqoka eminweni yakhe eminingi . Iqembu elivela kulesi sigaba liphethe ukudweba izibalo ezincane izingalo zabo ziwele ngaphambili, lapho iDzahui, umvikeli womhlaba wethu, emelwe ngesizotha esikhulu: u-Dzavi Ñuhu (Ñuhu Savi), “indawo kankulunkulu wemvula ”. Izinhlamvu ezinezici ezithile zesikimu nazo ziqoshwe lapha, ezixhunyaniswe nenkolo yamadlozi, kanye nezithombe zamaqhawe nezikhulu.
Kwesinye isigaba somhlangano wokusebenzela kukhona izingcweti ze-turquoise (yussi daa), itshe elivusa uYa Nikandii, unkulunkulu welanga; LobuNkulunkulu buhlonishwa ikakhulukazi yizicukuthwane, ezizobekwa ebusweni bazo, ngokwesiko lomngcwabo, imaskhi yokhuni eboshwe ngaleli tshe. Ukusikwa okungajwayelekile- i-mosaic- noma kusetshenziswe amapuleti amancane amile okobuso bomuntu, izilwane ezingcwele noma amathempeli, u-turquoise nawo ushumekwe emathanjeni nakuma-disc egolide. Ngayo, kwenziwa amadiski anobubanzi obuhlukahlukene, asetshenziswa emicimbini nasemasondweni nokuhlobisa amapulanka enziwa abaphathi bophaphe; okunamathiselwe ngotshani emakhaleni, amadiski amancane asetshenziswa amaqhawe asezingeni eliphakeme kakhulu kwezempi kanye nezikhulu.
Okwamanje, i-jet (yuu ñama) ne-amber (yuu nduta nuhu) akusetshenziswanga; Lezi zinto aziwona amatshe, kepha ama-lapidaries awasebenzisela lokho ukuze kuzuzwe izinto eziyigugu. Ku-workshop bake benza ubuhlalu namacwecwe e-jet emigexo; La amalahle amaminerali, ngenxa yombala wawo, njenge-obsidian, ahlobene nenkosi emnyama ecwebezelayo yeSmoky Mirror, u-Tuma Tnoo, obizwa nangokuthi i-Yaa Inu Chu´ma. Ngakolunye uhlangothi, inhlaka ixhunyaniswe kakhulu nomlilo, ngakho-ke, neLanga; Esikhathini esingengakanani esidlule, ngale resin yefosili, izindlebe nomgexo kwenziwa ukuthi umbusi wayevame ukugqoka emikhosini esemthethweni. Olunye udaba abaphathwa ngobuchule ngamakhorali; Ngayo ubuhlalu be-discoidal ne-tubular buqoshwa ukuthi abakhandi begolide, kuya ngomklamo womgexo noma isivikelo sesifuba, ungene futhi uhlanganise nobuhlalu be-jade, i-amethisto, i-turquoise, igolide nesiliva.
Abapristi namaqhawe kumele babe nenqwaba yamatshe ayigugu okugqoka ngezikhathi ezikhethekile, njengabaphathi, ngaphandle kokuthi bawagqoka nsuku zonke njengezimpawu zobukhosi babo.
Ezinye zalezi zimpahla ezinkulu zazingezasebukhosini futhi zazizuzwa njengefa, kepha ezinye, lezo ezazingezabanikazi abazimele, zaba yingxenye yomnikelo womngcwabo womnikazi wazo, owayezophinde aphathe ubukhosi bakhe kokunye ukuphila.
UCinco Zopilote usevele wenze umyalo womphathi: gada ukusatshalaliswa, phakathi kwabaphethe, ngamatshe afike kule workshop namuhla; Manje abakhandi begolide abangochwepheshe, ngokobungcweti babo, sebeqalile ukudweba izingcezu ezintsha.
Uhambo lwakho, ikakhulukazi olukhathazayo ngalolu suku, seluphelile. Ngaphambi kokushiya i-workshop, i-5 Vulture ihlola umgexo we-amethyst lapho ama-lapidaries aqikelela kakhulu ukudweba ucezu ngalunye nge-emery yensengesi, aluzungeze futhi alushelele, alupolishe ngokhuni futhi, kanye ngesimo sobuhlalu, alubhoboze ngeshubhu elincane koppermade. Abenzi bengcweti begolide benze itshe elihle; impela umbusi uzojabula kakhulu.
