Empress Dowager Cixi, who is keen on jewelry, is a real jade lover. A foreigner once gave her a big diamond. She took a slow look and waved and said, "Go away." She doesn't want a fire-breathing diamond, but she likes a small piece of jade given to her by another person. "Good deeds are rewarded!" Gave him a valuable reward.

Emerald is listed as the birthstone of May, symbolizing luck and happiness. Although it is not among the top five precious stones in the world, it wears the top hat of "the king of jade", and the selling price is like tying a foot and jumping up and down.

A real estate manager in Shanghai spent a huge sum of money to buy a piece of jade from Laokeng, Myanmar, and asked the artist to carve it into a jade screen with a height of 36 cm, a width of 47.5 cm and a thickness of 1.75 cm. After comprehensive appraisal by several gem appraisal and evaluation committees, the value was determined to be $38 million. However, the value of the large-scale jade carving "Five Wonders of Mountains" is immeasurable. This giant jade carving is 1.95 m high, 1.2 m wide,1./m thick and weighs 4.5 tons. 65,438+0 was discovered by Liu Xueqin, a Burmese jewelry collector, in 996, and was bought and carved at a huge sum of money. This sky-high jade is still auctioned online, so it is estimated that the buyer needs the same financial resources as Bill Gates, because you can't drink northwest wind with a baby that only you are willing to buy, because it can neither cook soup nor stew meat. God has set a trap here: the most valuable thing is worthless in the end, because no one can offer the starting price and no one is willing to bid.

The name jade was originally the name of a bird, Fei is a bird with red feathers, and Cui is a bird with green feathers. These two words gradually come together, especially a blue-green brownish bird, which has nothing to do with jade, but how can it be used to name jade? This kind of jadeite containing sodium aluminosilicate is uneven in color because of its color, and sometimes it is accompanied by red and green groups on a light-colored foundation, and the color is like a beautiful bluebird. Emerald stone has many colors, the red one is called "Fei" and the green one is called "Cui". If a piece of jade has four colors of red, green, purple and yellow, it is a very precious and rare jade. Although it is also a kind of jade, it has become a natural branch of jade because of its special value. Some people even understand jade and jade as two concepts.
