1, "fishing", purely artificial mining, the jade digger tied a rope around his waist, connected an air hose, put on an eye mask and a waterproof mirror, identified gravel and jadeite by touching his feet, found the original jadeite stone, and then brought it up to identify the quality of the original jadeite stone.
2. Method 3: "Digging a pit" Digging a pit is actually digging deep underground. The workers kept digging underground and carried the mined stones to the ground in small baskets. There are also special workers who choose these stones on the ground to judge whether these rough stones have reserved value.
3. Seedling flushing, which is more suitable for areas with thin ground soil layer on the mine. After the soil on its surface is washed away by water, the jade digger will sort it with a pump. If larger stones are found, they will be sent out with shovels and crowbars. Then identify it.
4. The mining time of jadeite raw stone is from September of the lunar calendar to April of the following year. The rest is rainy season, potholes and hot climate, which makes life and excavation very difficult. The best time for jadeite mining is dry season, which is less than half a year.
How to enter the jade mine in Myanmar
First of all, you must have Myanmar nationality and a letter of introduction to buy minerals, and China people can't contract jadeite mines in Myanmar. Secondly, the jade mine in Myanmar is contracted to the big boss, and the big boss hires people to dig as much as possible.
Mining jade, after the 1990s, the Myanmar government brought jade mining into management, and the land was auctioned by the government, only registered companies could enter. The mined stones must be registered and taxed, and then transported to Yangon for public auction before they can be exported by sea.
In addition, large-scale mining has also begun in the mountainous areas around Wuyou River. Most of these substances have no "skin", coarse mineral particles, insufficient water head and poor species. Locals call jade mines "jade factories", and different mines are named after place names (also called "factory entrances").
If you are currently in the Fourth Special Zone in eastern Shan State, Myanmar, you can go to the "Mengla Jewelry and Jade Headquarters" (Golden Triangle Jewelry Palace) to inquire. Note: More than 90% of jadeite in the world is produced in Myanmar, and it has been confirmed that gem-grade jadeite raw materials in the world are only produced in Myitkyina, Myanmar.
After liberation to before the reform and opening up. After liberation, because China did not advocate wearing jewelry and the processing industry was depressed, Myanmar's jade imports fell sharply. Burmese jade merchants had to smuggle jade thousands of miles away to Chiang Mai, Thailand, to trade with Hong Kong businessmen and Japanese businessmen.
Where to dig the original jade stone?
1. Jade rough stone can be found in the Lu Wu River valley in northern Myanmar, and can also be bought in the trading market. Jade, also known as jadeite, jadeite and Burmese jade, is a kind of jade. The correct definition of jadeite is fibrous aggregate composed of pyroxene minerals, mainly jadeite minerals.
2. The places where the original jadeite stone can be found are mainly concentrated in Ruili, Longchuan, Yingjiang, Tengchong, Wan Ding and other jade trading markets in northern Myanmar and the border between China and Myanmar. Although the origin of jadeite is in Myanmar, the country with the largest consumption of jadeite in the world is China, so the border between China and Myanmar has become an important place for the jadeite raw stone market.
3. Myanmar is a world-famous jade producing area. You can go to the local jade mining area to find the original stone. Some jade markets also sell rough stones, such as the jade market in Yunnan, China, and the Jockey Club Square in Mong Kok, Hong Kong. You can go to these places to find the original stone.
4. Jade rough stone is mainly produced in Myanmar, Russia, Guatemala and other countries. Ruili, China also has a small amount of jadeite raw stone, but the output can't be compared with other countries.
Jade can be found in Yunnan and Guangdong provinces of China. Jade rough stones are sold in Yunnan and Guangdong provinces of China. Ruili is the key to Yunnan jadeite raw stone wholesale market. There are also jade rough stone markets in Guangzhou, Sihui, Pingzhou and Jieyang in Guangdong Province for wholesale.
The origin of the original stone jade How did the original stone jade come from?
The jadeite original stone is obtained by geological mining. The jadeite original stone refers to the jadeite that has just been mined from the mine and has not undergone artificial chemical treatment. Jadeite original stone is a polycrystalline aggregate with jadeite, omphacite and sodalite as the main materials, reaching the jade level, and its surface is often wrapped by skin.
Jadeite protolith was formed after volcanic eruption and intruded into high-grade rock strata under the pressure of magma.
Simply put, the jadeite original stone was formed in a state of "high pressure and low temperature". The deeper the earth is from the surface to the center of the earth, the higher the temperature and the greater the pressure. Because the jadeite original stone was formed under the geological conditions of low temperature and high pressure, it can't be formed in the deeper part of the earth.
