I found a small jadeite rough stone at a night market for around 2,000 yuan, and carved it into an exquisite one-of-a-kind piece!

Next, I would like to share with you the following piece of material, which is a half-mountain and half-water stone from the Damakan mine. Since most of the skin had been removed when the material was purchased, the price was very cheap. I only spent a little over two thousand to buy it, which can be said to be a bargain. This material is a typical yellow and green color, full of oiliness and sexiness. Let’s take a look at how it has transformed.

Nowadays, Damakan materials are becoming less and less available, especially the top-grade yellow and green ones. The price has increased several times compared to previous years. It is difficult for friends who like collecting to come across it, because the most common items produced in this field are ornaments and hand-held items.

Let’s take a look under the light. The color is bright, the texture is delicate, and the water quality is good. But there are also some bad points. If you look closely, you can see several cracks. In fact, every piece of raw stone is not perfect. It is inevitable that such treasures of nature have some flaws occasionally. After checking the characteristics of the material, discuss with the carving master what to do. The master’s advice is to use clever carving to avoid cracks.

The master's suggestions were very good, but the owner preferred traditional things, so the master designed a more retro theme to satisfy him.

Let’s take a look at the final product, which is exquisite. The master made full use of the characteristics of the original stone and displayed the carved subject matter to the fullest.

The carving on both sides is very delicate. The raw stone I bought for two thousand is totally worth it. As the saying goes: Jade cannot be made into a useful object without being carved. A piece of raw stone becomes brand new, valuable and charming after being carved by a jade carver.
