What are the origins of high quality jadeite rough?

Jadeite refers to pyroxene jade with hardness of gem level, and the formation conditions are extremely harsh, so only Myanmar can be unearthed at present. Therefore, at present, the origin of high-quality jadeite rough is naturally concentrated in Myanmar.

Traditionally, the Burmese jadeite Mong Gong, also known as Mogang, was regarded as the center of the Burmese jadeite producing area, but in fact it has been widely recognized as the heart of the jadeite producing area of Kampa in modern times.

In fact, most of the famous rough exposures are in these locations, which is why everyone should ask about the exposure before buying the rough!

Jadeite is one of the most popular pieces of jewelry, and its color is naturally changeable, bright and pleasant. Jadeite comes from jadeite rough, and Myanmar is the source of jadeite rough, with hundreds of large and small mining areas.

The formation of jadeite requires very harsh geographical conditions, so there are not many sources of jadeite. There are five endemic jadeite roughs in the world: Myanmar, Japan, Kazakhstan, Guatemala and the United States.

Jadeite belongs to jadeite, classified by minerals, jadeite has many origins, but only Myanmar has jadeite that reaches gem quality. Myanmar is home to most of the high-quality jadeite and is the only gem-quality jadeite, where almost all the world's high-quality jadeite is produced. In recent years, after decades of large-scale mining, Myanmar's several major jadeite farm resources are gradually scarce, Myanmar local ** in order to protect resources, strive for greater profits, is also controlling the export of rough stones, part of the public market has been canceled, resulting in a soaring price of domestic jadeite rough.

Myanmar is the origin of the world's gemstones, rich in ruby, sapphire, jadeite and other jewelry, Myanmar jadeite is mainly produced in northern Myanmar Menggong, Hpakant area, once in China in the late Qing Dynasty and early Ming Dynasty. Due to the high hardness, smooth and bright of Burmese jadeite, it has high value preservation and collection value. Jadeite, also known as Burmese jade, is currently more than 95% of the commercial-grade jadeite on the market from Myanmar, so it is known as the "best in jade", and the jadeite has been formed for hundreds of millions of years and is non-renewable.

As a major producer of jadeite raw materials, Myanmar has realized the danger of jadeite mining resources and restricted rough exports. The quality of jadeite is getting less and less, and it is almost dug up, and the rough stone is greatly reduced, resulting in the ** will only ** of jadeite. In addition, there is a deeper reason, which can be seen from this year's rough trading, because many famous fields in Myanmar have been mined for hundreds of years, and good materials are becoming more and more rare.

From January to August now, jadeite rough is more than 30% common.

Myanmar is the largest producer of high-quality jadeite rough, Yunnan Ruili is adjacent to Myanmar, due to the geographical advantage, a large number of high-quality Myanmar jadeite rough into Ruili trading, forming China's largest jadeite rough distribution and trading center.

The places where there are more jadeite rough stones are: Myanmar, Guatemala, the United States, Japan, Kazakhstan and China.

Myanmar:

Myanmar is the world's leading jadeite producer and the only gem-quality jadeite producer. Therefore, Fei Ran carries the name of Burmese jade. From a professional point of view, more than 95% of the world's jadeite is produced in Myanmar.

From the perspective of the domestic jade business, almost all gem-quality jade is produced in Myanmar. The world's finest jadeite is produced at the Lonkin (Lonken) jade mine in Myanmar. Northwest Myanmar is located at the junction of the Eurasian and Indian Ocean continental plates, where the earth's crust is extremely active to produce jadeite.

Guatemala:

Guatemala is a withered country that produces commercial-grade jadeite in addition to Myanmar. Compared to Burmese jade, most Guatemalan jadeites have a poor texture and are usually coarse-grained with low transparency. The color is dark green, black, blue-green, mottled green.

Because Guatemalan jadeite is natural and does not have the improved treatment of commodities such as B, C, B+C, etc., it has been recognized by the European and American markets and has begun to become a strong competitor to Myanmar jadeite.

Japan:

Japan's jade production areas are scattered in Niigata Prefecture, Uogawa City, and Aomi Town. It is mainly used for primary minerals, mainly jadeite aggregates and coarse grains. The color is mainly green, white, the texture is dry, the yield is low, and the texture is poor.

Most of them cannot be carved, they have no commercial value, they are mainly used by miners.

United States:

American jade, mainly found in California. Compared to Burmese jade, most American jadeite can only be used as a carving material, lacking jewelry-grade emerald jade. The texture is dry and the structure is thick.

The jadeite deposit in Mendocino County is the Liqihu mine, which is mainly composed of diopside, jadeite, garnet and Fushan stone veins. Jadeite rough in the United States is produced in California, and the quality is also low, but it can be used as an ordinary carving material.

Kazakhstan:

Emerald deposits in Kazakhstan are mainly associated with the Itumunda and Levo Kechpeli mines, mineralization and serpentine mines. Jadeite is mainly light gray, dark gray, light green, dark green and other colors. It has a medium-fine-grained metasomatic structure.

The jadeite rough in Kazakhstan is produced near Itmulonda, 110km east of Kashgar City, and the jadeite produced by it is also of poor texture, rough structure, opaque, and mostly green in color, which does not reach the commercial grade.

China:

Ruili in Dehong Prefecture, Yunnan Province borders Myanmar, so there are many jadeite rough stones, only a wall away from the important border trade of Myanmar, there are many merchants engaged in jadeite rough business in Ruili, the market is also very large, and Ruili jadeite rough stone types are relatively complete, all gambling materials, window materials, bright materials, sheet materials, everything.

Brief introduction of jadeite rough:

Rough jadeite is a stone that has not been processed in any way. That is, the most primitive state of jadeite, without any cutting and polishing, that is, jadeite that has not yet been opened.

At present, the market is dominated by jadeite from Myanmar and Guatemala.

1. In the world, the origin of jadeite rough is: Myanmar, Myanmar is the main source of jadeite rough.

2. The place with the most jadeite rough stones in the world is Myanmar. Myanmar has the most abundant jadeite resources, and its main production area is in the Quaternary and Tertiary conglomerate layered jadeite deposits in the Wulu River (River) basin in northern Myanmar.

3. Kazakhstan: The jadeite deposits in Kazakhstan are mainly related to the Itumunda and Levokeechpeli mines, mineralization and serpentine mines.

4. Guatemala is the world's second largest source of jewelry-grade and commercial-grade jadeite, and its jadeite rough is produced in the fault zone of the Maitagao River in the territory of the Zasun Mara in Central America. Guatemalan jadeite, known as "dangerous material" or "yongchu material" in China, was first found in 1952 in northern Guatemala.

5, China's Yunnan Ruili is the first stop of jadeite rough into the country, jadeite color is natural, vigorous and deeply loved by the Chinese, Myanmar is the largest source of jadeite rough, Ruili and Myanmar border has always been the largest jadeite rough trading center. Ruili National Gate is the only way for jadeite to enter China.
