Emerald, also known as Burmese jade, is jadeite produced in Myanmar. Emerald is produced in Japan, Russia, Mexico and California, but its quality and output are far less than that of Myanmar. "The so-called jade, green and white, transparent is better, jade is the top grade. Their names are different, and they are all arched. "
Jewelry-grade jadeite rough stone is only produced in Myanmar. Although jadeite (jadeite rough stone) is also produced in Russia, Japan and other places, it is far from jewelry-grade. There is a big river in northern Myanmar, which is called "Uyou River" (also called "Lu Wu River") by local people.
Myanmar is the birthplace of jadeite. 95% of the jadeite in the world comes from Myanmar. Although some countries produce jadeite, the quality of jadeite in Myanmar is the best.
Why is the original jadeite stone only available in Myanmar?
1. According to the discovery of water-bearing ~ methane ~ jadeite three-phase inclusions in jadeite rocks, it is considered that jadeite is crystallized from near-jadeite silicate melt and comes from alkali-containing pyroxene layer widely existing in the mantle of 300 ~ 400 km. More than 95% of the commercial jadeite on the market comes from Myanmar, so jadeite is also called Burmese jade.
2. For a long time, it was thought that jadeite was only produced in Myanmar. I didn't know jade was produced in Japan, America, Mexico, Kazakhstan and other places. Therefore, it is wrong to call jadeite Burmese jade. However, it is true that only jadeite produced in Myanmar can reach the gem level and can be used as exquisite jewelry.
This is because Myanmar is in a special geographical position. In the process of crustal movement, Myanmar lies in the collision subduction zone between Eurasian plate and Indian plate. Due to the influence of crustal composition, strong tectonic movement and many other factors, this unique mineral resource has finally formed and become a valuable asset of Myanmar.
4. Because this place in Myanmar is in the violent geological movement at the junction of plates, many jadeite ores have been formed. The reasons for the formation of these jadeite ores are very complicated. There are so many jadeite mines in places like Myanmar that it is easier to form jadeite mines when the surface temperature is low, except for unique geographical reasons.
5. Jade rough stone is not only found in Myanmar, but also in other places. But as far as the mineral deposits found in the world are concerned, the jadeite with the highest quality and gem grade is only a specialty of Myanmar.
6. Because Myanmar is a country rich in mineral resources, including oil, natural gas, tungsten, tin, lead, silver, nickel, antimony, gold, iron, chromium and jade. Myanmar is the only birthplace rich in jadeite in the world, and the mining area for gambling stones is mainly located in the upper reaches of the Wulong River in the northwest of Meng Gong, North Myanmar, along the Myitkyina River.
What are the origins of jadeite jade?
1. Emeralds are produced in Myanmar, Russia, Guatemala, Japan and the United States. Kazakhstan, Mexico and Colombia. The Quaternary and Tertiary glutenite secondary jadeite deposits in the northern (river) basin of Myanmar are the best jadeite producing areas in China at present.
Jade is produced in five places in the world: Myanmar, Japan, Kazakhstan, Guatemala and the United States. Emerald belongs to jadeite. According to the classification of minerals, jadeite is produced in many places, but only Myanmar has jadeite reaching gem level.
3. The producing areas of jadeite in the world are Myanmar, Guatemala, Japan, America, Russia and other places. However, the common jadeite in China market comes from mines in Myanmar. Myanmar is the main export area of jadeite in the world, so jadeite is also called Burmese jade. The jadeite produced in other countries is of poor quality and has low appreciation space.
4. Myanmar: Myanmar is one of the main producing areas of jadeite. The best jadeite in the world comes from Myanmar, and almost all gem-grade jadeite comes from Myanmar. The jadeite in Myanmar has bright color, dense internal structure, very delicate texture and excellent quality.
Is jadeite only available in Myanmar?
Emerald is not only produced in Myanmar, but also in other regions, but the output is relatively small. The correct definition of jadeite is fibrous aggregate composed of pyroxene minerals, mainly jadeite minerals. But jade is not equal to jade.
The formation of jadeite requires very harsh geographical conditions, so there are not many producing areas of jadeite. Jade is produced in five places in the world: Myanmar, Japan, Kazakhstan, Guatemala and the United States. Emerald belongs to jadeite. According to the classification of minerals, jadeite is produced in many places, but only Myanmar has jadeite reaching gem level.
Myanmar is the country with the richest jade production in the world and is famous for its high-quality jade. Jade is produced in few places, only in the United States, Japan, Russian, Guatemala, Myanmar, China and other countries. The characteristic of jadeite in these countries is that few jadeite products reach the gem level, and most of them are carved raw materials.
