Where does the best jadeite in the world come from?
You know, the famous Ma Laiyu is not Malaysian jade, so Burmese jade is Burmese jade? Is jadeite really produced in Myanmar? According to the historical records of China, jadeite jade is produced in Yunnan, so does China also produce jadeite? Are all the jades produced in Myanmar jadeite? Besides Myanmar, where else in the world does jadeite produce? Is there jade everywhere in Myanmar? If yes, where is the best jade producing area in Myanmar? Please see Yucheng original for the answer. Jade is indeed called "Burmese jade" by many people or experts in China, and its scientific name is jadeite. Emerald in the world is mainly produced in Myanmar, but it is also produced in other places. For example, jadeite is also produced in Guatemala, Russia's Sisayan Mountains, Mexico, California, Japan, Kazakhstan and other places, but only Burmese jadeite can reach the gem level. In the area from Imlund to Ram and Ciurcu, jadeite mineral sources with certain economic value and mining value have been found, but their quality needs further exploration. At present, the jadeite produced in this country can only be regarded as the upper-middle grade jadeite at most, and the high-grade jadeite has not been found so far. In this way, Myanmar has become the only commercial jadeite producer in the world. People call him Burmese jade, and Yucheng thinks this may be the reason to distinguish the most famous jade produced in Myanmar from jadeite or nephrite produced in other countries in the world. Having said that, people can't help but think of a question, is it Chinese-made jade? According to historical records in China, jadeite is produced in Yunnan, China, and it is said that "the jadeite in the world comes from Yunnan", and it is still called "Yunnan Jade" by some people. According to these statements, is there jade production in Yunnan? However, after long-term investigation and exploration by the geological department, the origin of jadeite has not been found in Yunnan Province. How do you explain this? It turns out that some jadeite-producing places in Myanmar were once under the jurisdiction of Yongchang Prefecture in Yunnan. Therefore, the statement that jadeite is produced in Myanmar is in line with the actual situation. At present, jade is not produced in Yunnan province, and there is no jade in China. So is all the jade produced in Myanmar jadeite? The person in charge of Jade City tells you that the answer isno. Jade can be called Burmese jade, but not all jade produced in Myanmar can be called jade. Besides jade, there are tree-shaped jade, eighty-three jade and other jade in Myanmar, but jade is the most famous. Is jadeite produced everywhere in Myanmar? Is it everywhere? The formation conditions of jadeite are very harsh. Formed in a medium-low temperature environment, it needs great pressure generated by crustal movement as an auxiliary condition, plus a long time. Therefore, the mineral source distribution areas of jadeite are all places where the crustal movement is intense. Yucheng introduced that Meng Gong is the most famous jadeite in Meng Gong, Pagang, Nanqi, Xiangdong and Huika in northern Myanmar. So are these the best jadeite producing areas? Actually, it's not. The best jadeite in the world is produced in Longken, Myanmar, which is located in the northwest of Myanmar, 0/02km away from Meng Gong136km away from Myitkyina/Kloc-0. Longken high-quality jadeite mining area is 70km long and 20km wide, with an area of1400km. There is a primary ore mining camp and two alluvial placer mining camps. Longken is not only the seat of jadeite mineral processing office, but also the exploration and mining headquarters of Myanmar state-owned gem enterprises. Longken's annual mining capacity of 500 tons is all transported to Meng Gong by car and then to Yangon by train. As a transit and distribution center, Meng Gong has the reputation of "the hometown of jade".
