There are only six countries in the world that produce jadeite, and some of them can't be used as jewelry jadeite. Up to today, only Myanmar is the producing area with the largest output and the best quality of jadeite. There are a large number of secondary sedimentary jadeite deposits along the Wulong River in Myanmar, which were discovered and mined earlier.

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.

Guatemala: Guatemala is a famous jadeite producing area, and it is a country that produces commercial jadeite outside Myanmar. However, most jadeites have poor texture, rough structure, low transparency and dull color. However, all the jadeites in Guatemala are natural jadeites and have not been artificially treated.

Myanmar is the most famous, largest and oldest producer of jadeite. The world's commercial and jewel-grade jadeites are mainly produced in hundreds of square kilometers along the Lu Wu River, a tributary of the Irrawaddy River in Myanmar.

Some people say that Myanmar produces jadeite. Other countries producing jadeite in the world include China, Guatemala, Japan, the United States, Kazakhstan, Mexico and Colombia. The characteristic of jadeite in these countries is that few jadeites reach the gem level, and most of them are carving raw materials. Cele County, Hotan District, Xinjiang, China also produces a small amount of jadeite ore.
