There is an elegant woman who is a famous gemologist, mineralogist and internationally renowned jade expert at home and abroad. He is the founder of Hong Kong Gemological Appraisal Society and Hong Kong Jewellery Society. He is a visiting professor at the Pearl and Jewelry Institute. He is also a famous jade merchant. She has so many identities-Ouyang Qiumei!

65438-0979 Ouyang Qiumei immediately applied to the Department of Geography and Geology of the University of Hong Kong for a master's degree, focusing on the mineralogy of Burmese jadeite.

Professor Ouyang made a systematic study on jadeite. Since 1987, she has come to Myanmar for many times to collect and study jadeite samples, and personally visited the mining areas in Myanmar and wrote a lot of related articles.

Later, under the guidance of Professor Peng Zhizhong, an internationally renowned mineralogist, she discovered continental sodalite, which was published as 1983 in an authoritative academic magazine in the United States, becoming the first scholar to discover sodalite on the earth, thus explaining the color-causing reasons of bright green jadeite. This great discovery established her academic position in the world.

A western historian once said, "If you don't know jade, you won't know China". China has a tradition of using and loving jade for 6,000 years, and the jade culture has a long history. Emerald, known as the king of jade, is the representative of Chinese jade culture. And this cultural representative does not have a complete system? ! This is what Mr Ouyang wants to accomplish.

So she published many books about jade, including The Complete Works of Jade, which took her five years to finish. This book created the theoretical system of jadeite and laid the foundation for her future research on jadeite. In this way, China people's blank spot in jade research was filled by her!

She has visited almost all the mining areas in Pagan, Myanmar. She gained a lot there. In the following years, she collected jadeite samples from Japan, Russia and Guatemala, and established the world's largest jadeite research database! Because of her achievements, 1999, the Chinese Academy of Geological Sciences awarded her the title of honorary researcher.

So, later people affectionately called her "Emerald Lady" of China. Of course, she deserved it! As time goes by, the story of Ms. Emerald continues. ...
