When it comes to precious stones, people usually think of gold mines rich in melon stones. The rich vein of golden melon stone once had a glorious period of "the first in Asia", but it gradually dried up. In recent years, some foreign experts have determined that the golden melon stone still has commercial mining value, but for environmental reasons, they have not yet obtained the knowledge of whether to dig again.

Because Taiwan Province Province is located between the Eurasian plate and the Philippine plate, the volcanic movement caused by the collision and friction between the two plates has formed many veins, and people have many opportunities to find strange stones and make a fortune in the stream beds around East China.

Taiwan Province Province is famous for its sparkling jade.

Taiwan Province Province is rich in nephrite, commonly known as nephrite, and its output has reached the first place in the world. Because the output is representative, some people in the market call amphibole jade Taiwan Bay jade, while jadeite jade (commonly known as jadeite) from the mainland is mainland jade. Because Taiwan Province Province is rich in jade, the ancestors of Taiwan Province Province had a rich jade decoration culture thousands of years ago.

Taiwan Province Province is also rich in gemstones with similar seasons, and there are crystal veins all over the province, including amethyst, agate, Huang Yingshi and amethyst. Among them, the sapphire of Taiwan Province Province, which is classified as chalcedony, is more representative. The dark blue translucent chalcedony is close to the sapphire belonging to corundum, so it is also called Taiwan Province sapphire. Sapphire from the coastal mountainous area of Taiwan Province Province was the first to mine precious stones.

Blue chalcedony is the most expensive gem in Taiwan Province Province, and it is also recognized by the international jewelry industry. In the textbook "Systematic Gemmology" designated by Chinese quality inspectors of jewelry and jade, Taiwan Province Province is listed as an important producing area of chalcedony.

In addition, we often hear that the scientific name of rose stone is andalusite, which is mainly produced in the upper reaches of Sanlianxi, Hualien 1400 meters, and an outcrop of veins at an altitude of 2000 meters east of Wu Li, Hualien. Off the island, Penghu is rich in aragonite. Besides Taiwan Province Province, it is the most famous aragonite produced in Sicily.

Taiwan Province Province is also a coral kingdom.

There are several important red coral producing areas in the Pacific Ocean off the east coast of Taiwan Province Province, so Taiwan Province Province once exported a large number of coral ornaments and won the reputation of "Coral Kingdom". In fact, Taiwan Province Province is the country that produces the most red and white corals in the world. At its peak, Taiwan Province Province produced 80% of the world's corals. It should be noted, however, that many of these corals are not mined offshore in Taiwan Province Province. Coral in the market of Taiwan Province Province is mainly produced between bashi channel, Penghu and Hongkong, and near Diaoyutai and Japanese waters.
