It was very popular in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China: for example, a jade age tube by Rong Lu, Minister of the Interior of the Qing Dynasty, was worth 13000 taels of gold. In the mid-1930s, Yu Wang Tie Yuting in Beijing had a bracelet and sold it to Du in Shanghai for 40,000 silver dollars. Myanmar jadeite is bright and clean because of its high hardness. Moreover, good jadeite is bright and peaceful in color and has high preservation and collection value, so it is called "the king of jade". It is loved by many people who love and wear jade. Japan and New Zealand also regard jade as their "national stone". Due to the special geographical relationship that jadeite is produced in Myanmar, which is close to China, and most of the finished products are processed in China, and the special preference of China people for jadeite, western countries generally consider jadeite as China's "national jade".

Burmese jade, also known as jadeite, is regarded as a symbol of good fortune by China people and has high collection value. The color of Burmese jadeite

Due to different regional customs, the color of Burmese jadeite is slightly different. In the jade kingdom of Myanmar, jadeite can be divided into three categories, with a grade of 12. The domestic jewelry industry divides jadeite into more than 30 grades according to its color. Generally speaking, the tones of jade in the Qing Dynasty can be roughly divided into the following six categories.

1, white. Basically does not contain other impurity elements.

2, red. Contains the chemical element iron < Fe3+ >.

3. green. < Cr > containing more than 2% chromium.

4, black. Containing more than 2% < 〈Cr〉 > and Fe < Fe2+ >

5, yellow. Contains tantalum.

6, purple. Contains elements < iron > chromium, iron, iron and cobalt.

In particular, the green color in Burmese jadeite is colorful and very resistant to products, which is very consistent with the implicit, peaceful, Wen Ya and cordial character of China people.

Myanmar jade market

1。 There are jewelry stores selling Burmese jadeite in major cities in Yunnan, especially Dali and Kunming. Because it is close to the place of origin, the price is much cheaper than other areas, and there are many smuggled goods, even the first-class Burmese jade raw materials, which is even more impressive!

2。 It is best to have a chance to travel to Myanmar! Myanmar jade market has jade distribution centers in Yangon and Mandalay, and jade producing areas in Pagan. Jade sales in Myanmar are divided into wool and jade products. The jade trading markets in Yangon and Mandalay have both wool and jade products for sale, while Pagan is mainly a wool market with little trading volume. Mandalay market is the main trading market of middle and low grade jade in Myanmar.

The Myanmar government is vigorously protecting its own jade resources, trying to restrict the export of fine jade, and only allowing it to be exported after processing ... so the best products still come from the country of origin!
