There are several reasons why jadeite is so expensive: the mining cost is high. In recent years, with the policy restrictions, many sites have been closed and many mining companies have withdrawn from the mining area.
Large market demand Judging from the current domestic jade market, the demand for jadeite is still very large, especially those with high quality. Although the price is very expensive, as long as there is high-quality jade, there is no need to sell it.
The complex water color combination of jadeite gives it an ever-changing appearance. It can be said that natural colors can be found in jadeite, and because of the unique combination of jadeite color and water, it has a mysterious beauty.
Jade is expensive for a reason: 1, gem-grade jade, only produced in Myanmar in the world, with limited resources. 2. High-quality jadeite with high transparency, good clarity and bright color can be met but not sought, and scarcity leads to high price.
How much is this jade worth?
1, the price of ordinary jadeite is also thousands of yuan, and the price of extremely rare high-end ice jadeite is 10 million yuan, which is very common. Jade jewelry is a must-have item in major auctions and is sought after by consumers in the market.
2. The market price of jadeite is generally around 800,000-200,000 yuan.
The value of this jade should be between 5000 yuan and 3000 yuan, which is normal and within a reasonable range.
Why not Indian jade?
1, Myanmar jadeite is the cheapest in the world, because many jadeites sold in Myanmar are inferior or fake, so tour guides do not encourage tourists to buy them when traveling in Myanmar. In recent years, with the development of transportation, many people plan to travel abroad. However, most people in China visit neighboring countries first, including India, Thailand and Myanmar.
Gem-grade jadeite is only available in Myanmar. Pakistan and India did not produce jadeite at first. Secondly, the jadeites produced in these two countries are not up to the gem level strictly, and most of them are carved into handicrafts. Therefore, there is a big gap between Pakistani jadeite and Burmese jadeite.
3. Dongling jade, also known as Indian jade, is relatively cheap and has high output, but its overall quality is lower than that of jadeite. Dongling jade is dark in color, not as transparent as jade, bright in color and light in overall feeling, not as thick as jade. Moreover, jade has a good collection value and appreciation space, but the collection value is not as good as jade.
The harm of Dongling jade is that it has certain radiation, which will have an impact on human body. India is the place where Dongling jade was first discovered, also called Indian jade. India has always been one of the producing areas of high-quality Dongling jade. In addition to India, some countries produce Dongling jade, and Dongling jade in Africa and Brazil is also very good, but the quality is unstable.

The value of jade bracelets is determined by water, color and shape. The higher the transparency, the better the definition, the brighter the color, the more solid the material and the higher the value. On the other hand, the lower the price, the lower the permeability, the turbid foundation, the pale color, the thinner the material, the thinner the stripes and the destructive defects such as cracks.
Look at the crystal size of leather: soak the jadeite gravel in water, and then take it out to see if there is any water volatilized from the leather. Fast volatilization indicates that its crystal is rough and its structure is loose, or the original stone has many cracks and poor texture.
The color of jadeite is also an important factor affecting the quality. According to the color, the common colors of jadeite mainly include green, red, yellow, purple and gray. Among them, green is the top grade, especially king green or apple green has the highest value. The more variegated colors, the more shades they look, indicating poor quality.
The "water" and "species" of jade should be coordinated. For example, the "kind" has good old color, good water quality and less dirty impurities, which set off each other and strongly set off the beauty, luster and value of jade. The structure of the "ground" should be delicate, the color tone should be uniform, the impurities should be less, and there should be some transparency. Only by taking care of each other can we be called "land".
Not to mention the identification of authenticity, many jade sold on the market now are fake. Fake jade is soaked in chemical liquid. Wearing fake jade is not good for your health, and it will cause cancer in serious cases. If you don't know how to identify jade, you may take fake jade as real jade. Wearing fake jade is not only bad for your health, but also carcinogenic.
