20 12 is a changeable year for the jade industry in China. China jade market, which experienced rapid growth for more than 10 years, entered the adjustment period of suspended growth in 20 12. This adjustment process is not only an adjustment of product market price, but more importantly, the structure, mentality and development direction of employees are also entering the adjustment period. It can be said with certainty that 20 12 is not only a rapid adjustment in the previous 10 year, but also the beginning of the adjustment period in the next few years. In the next four to five years, this adjustment will continue until it is in a relatively reasonable state.

In 20 12 years, the market changes of Hetian jade and jadeite jade in China were the most obvious. Although the changes of other jade varieties are not as drastic as these two varieties, they all show market fluctuations and changes.

1.20 12 China Hetian jade market

In 20 12, the exploitation and import of hetian jade in China decreased significantly compared with previous years. First, the output of Hotan seed material in Hotan area of Xinjiang is limited, so the market volume has dropped significantly compared with previous years. Most of the raw materials circulating in the market today were left in the society a few years ago, and gradually flowed to the market with the stability of market prices and the instability of economic conditions in other industries. This part of raw materials is becoming the mainstream of 20 12 seed supply in Hotan, Xinjiang, and 20 12 mountain materials are still in stable production in various parts of Xinjiang. However, due to the limitation of natural conditions, the total output of mountain materials in Xinjiang has not changed much in 20 12 years, and the total amount is about 500 tons. In addition, because there are not many excellent varieties of mountain materials in Xinjiang, it is difficult to support the great market demand.

20 12 The overall output of white jade and sapphire in Qinghai is not ideal. Due to the deepening of ore body and many technical problems in mining, the output of Baiyu main mining area in Golmud has dropped sharply compared with previous years. The primitive social stock of Qinghai white jade is very huge, so although the mining volume has decreased in 20 12 years, the market supply is still sufficient. Sapphire in Qinghai is an excellent jade variety, but according to the mining situation in recent years, the output has decreased year by year, especially 20 12, which is mainly related to the reserves of resources, the increase of mining difficulty and the market demand.

Russian white jade and jasper have always been important varieties in China market, especially high-quality jasper is an indispensable variety in China market in recent years. Russian jasper not only has a large output, but also has excellent quality, which has played an extremely important role in the development of China's jade market in recent years. However, in 20 12, Russian jasper was a year of great market changes. First of all, the mining of No.7 mine, which was originally a high-quality variety, was restricted, which made jade merchants who generally liked the quality of No.7 mine face No.2. The quality of newly mined No.32 mine was not as good as that of No.7 mine, and the quality stability of No.32 mine was poor, which made many jade merchants suffer heavy losses, and everyone's fear of No.32 mine increased sharply, which seriously affected the market supply. Third, at 20 1 1, the price of Russian jasper rose rapidly, from 3,000 yuan per kilogram to14,000 ~15,000 yuan in one year. Although this drastic price fluctuation stimulates the short-term activity of the market, in the long run, it will inevitably stagnate in the later period of the rise. Fourthly, from the perspective of national economy, Russia has increased export restrictions on Russian jade, thus limiting the total amount of Russian jade entering China. Russian white jade is also an excellent jade variety. In 20 12, the quality and quantity of Russian white jade decreased significantly compared with previous years, but the price of Russian white jade changed little and remained stable this year. Although the audience of Russian white jade is not very extensive, the price is stable.

Canada Jasper 20 12 performed well. In 20 12, it is estimated that hundreds of tons of Canadian jasper will enter China, mainly due to the high price of Russian jasper, and jade merchants will turn their attention to Canadian jasper with relatively low price, but the quality of Canadian jasper is poor.

The performance of 20 12 Korean white jade is average, mainly due to the blasting method used in the mining of Korean white jade, and there are many cracks in the raw materials, which affects the product quality. However, Korean white jade still fills the demand of the low-end market at a reasonable price.

Baiyu in Luodian, Guizhou Province is the most promising new variety of Baiyu in 20 12. Because of its good mining conditions and reserves, it is difficult for people to see more high-quality jade from the raw materials currently produced. Although some raw materials still have high quality, most of them are relatively dry, and it is difficult to achieve moist degree, which also triggered the dispute between jade and tremolite. The composition is tremolite, but not necessarily hetian jade.

Xiuyan, Dashiqiao and other places in Liaoning also produce a small amount of tremolite jade, but the quantity is small, which is considered as the top grade in the local area. 20 12, the price of this variety has been greatly improved.

2.20 12 China jade market

In 20 12 years, the overall supply and demand of China's jade market dropped sharply compared with 20 1 1 year, the market and raw material prices stopped growing rapidly, and the total transaction volume and price dropped sharply compared with 201/year. Myanmar has also adjusted the supply frequency of jadeite raw materials, and the market of 2065438 tends to be reasonable. The price of high-end jadeite is influenced by the price in previous years. Although the price has declined, the decline is not big, but the price of middle and low grade jadeite has dropped greatly, and the market turnover has been greatly reduced.

3. Other jade markets

Fuxin agate 20 12 is still developing rapidly. Generally speaking, the market is stable, the number of manufacturers is increasing, the market sales are stable, and the price of jade products is rising steadily. Because Fuxin agate is an important characteristic product of Fuxin, the contemporary demand supports the stability of Fuxin agate market, but the agate market in other areas is limited, mainly in Xiamen and Zhenping, Henan. However, in recent years, as a traditional jade variety, agate products have attracted more and more attention, and agate works have become more and more high-end

After more than ten years of transformation and development, dushan jade has formed a new variety that combines tradition and innovation. 20 12, dushan jade still performed well in the local market, similar to Fuxin agate. With the support of the contemporary market, the market in dushan jade is still developing steadily. Another local variety in Henan is Mi Yu, which attracts people's attention because of its rich colors and constantly improving quality.

Yunnan Huanglongyu felt the cold of the market for the first time on 20 12. A few years ago, the inflation and the intervention of foreign capital made Huanglongyu become a golden phoenix with wings flying. However, after entering 20 12, the Huang Longyu market is facing a huge test, which can also be said to be the beginning of a rational era. In any case, the orderly development of raw materials in Huang Longyu, moderate government intervention and market promotion are all remarkable, but Huanglongyu still needs a process to enter sustainable development. Varieties like Huang Longyu are also produced in Taishan, Guangdong and Jinhua, Zhejiang.

Huang Longyu, produced in Taishan, Guangdong Province, is very popular in the local area in recent years and has become a new popular variety in Guangdong after Huang Longyu. 20 12 the market and price of Taishan-made Huang Longyu are very stable and have improved.
