Distribution of origin
Most of the high-quality jadeites in the jewelry market come from the Quaternary and Tertiary conglomerate layered jadeite deposits in the Ulu River (River) basin in northern Myanmar. They are mainly distributed in Kachin State in northern Myanmar, with a length of about 240 km from north to south and a width of 170 km from east to west. 187 1 year, Lu Wu (also known as Wu Jia, Wulong and Lu Wu) basin in Myanmar was discovered, among which there are four most famous deposits, namely Dumao, Myanmar Mao, Panmao and Nannaimao. Primary jadeite is mainly composed of white jadeite with various green tones, brownish yellow and light purple. In addition to jadeite, there are diopside, amphibole, aegirine and albite, and green jadeite rarely reaches the gem level.
