2. Guatemala, the origin of jadeite. In Guatemala, the value of jadeite is even higher than that of gold, not only because of its high industrial value, but also because of its great cultural significance. In this place, people with good life experience will be buried with a lot of jadeite after death, which means that the soul will not die. In today's Central America, there are still some "magic doctors" who use jade to treat diseases. The jadeite in Guatemala is relatively poor in quality, rough in structure and low in transparency. The colors are mainly black and blue-green, but Guatemala's jadeite is natural, so it is recognized by European and American markets.
Russia is the origin of jadeite. Russia is also rich in mineral resources, so Russia is also one of the main producing areas of jadeite. The raw materials of Russian jadeite are varied, and some Russian jadeite will also enter the jade market in China, and even some varieties will be similar to those in Myanmar, which is unacceptable.
4. America. American jadeite is mainly produced in California. Compared with Burmese jadeite, it has poor texture and can only be used as carving material. Easy to distinguish.
5. Jade-producing Japan. Japanese people like not only jewelry, but also jade. Japanese people like jade, because their own country also produces jade, so it is not surprising that they have a soft spot for jade. The legendary Japanese Shinto artifact "Eight Qiong Gouyu" is made of jade. Japanese people wear jade articles in a different way from other ethnic groups. Japanese people are very strict about wearing jade, and the jade hairpin has always been one of the favorite accessories for Japanese women.
6. Kazakhstan, the birthplace of jade. The jadeite in Kazakhstan was discovered in the former Soviet Union in 1950s. The colors of jadeite in Kazakhstan are mainly light gray, dark gray, light green and dark green. The jadeite ore bodies in Kazakhstan are well developed, and the cracks are mostly distributed in the ore bodies in grid or irregular dendrites, so the quality is not very good, so there is no large-scale development in the former Soviet Union or now.
