Is it possible to buy five kilograms of jadeite raw stone for 450 yuan? Why is jadeite becoming more and more expensive?

Jadeite rough stone is jadeite that has been mined and has not undergone any processing. Compared with jadeite jewelry, although the appearance of the rough stone appears a bit rough, its price is not low.

As the saying goes, "Gold has a price, but jade is priceless." This sentence is a metaphor for the preciousness of gems and jade. It also means that the price of jade is different from that of gold and is usually very difficult to estimate. However, in the jewelry and jade trading market, jadeite is indeed clearly priced. This shows that although jadeite is very precious and its price is difficult to estimate, we still have a way to price and sell it, but the price of jadeite is relatively more volatile.

Is it possible to buy five kilograms of jadeite raw stone for 450 yuan?

Before answering this question, we need to make one thing clear, that is, the price of jadeite raw stone is calculated according to the quality, not by weight. Like finished jade products, there are many factors that affect the price of jade raw stones. The five major factors, including type, water, color, workmanship, and weight, can all have an impact on the price of jade raw stones. Type can be simply understood as texture. The finer the texture, the better, with glass type being the best; water refers to water head, that is, the degree of wateriness, the more moist the better; color refers to color, with full green being the best.

Specifically, can five kilograms of jadeite raw stone be bought for 450 yuan? If you mean kilograms of material, the market price may be even lower. However, kilograms of jadeite raw stone are usually of poor quality and are basically brick materials for novices to practice.

The price of jadeite raw stone depends on the quality of the jadeite. Good quality ones may cost tens of millions, while the price of a few hundred dollars less can buy a lot. If the jadeite raw stone has a skin, it is considered a gambling stone. There is a lot of knowledge involved. For example, if only a part of the semi-transparent material is cut, which has a higher gambling nature, the color of some of them can be clearly seen, but when you cut further, there is nothing inside. Therefore, the price of this type of jadeite raw stone usually contains a lot of water, and even experienced experts find it difficult to estimate its true price.

Why is the price of jadeite raw stone getting more and more expensive?

First of all, as a natural jade, jade itself is a non-renewable resource. In recent years, it has been mined in large quantities, and many jade mines are almost out of stone. The jade resources on the market are rapidly decreasing, and the price is rising year by year. The price of high-quality jade raw stones is even more expensive.

Secondly, the mining cost of jadeite raw stone has increased, because the reserves of high-quality jadeite ore are already very low, and the amount that can be mined has obviously decreased. Jadeite ore is becoming increasingly difficult to explore, and the mines are getting deeper and deeper, making mining more difficult. This has led to higher production costs for jadeite raw stone, and the market price has naturally become more and more expensive.

Again, we all know that more than 90% of the world's jadeite raw stones come from Myanmar, and 100% of the high-end jadeite raw stones that reach gem grade come from Myanmar. Therefore, Myanmar almost monopolizes the source of raw materials for the jade market. For economic interests and sustainable development considerations, the Myanmar government has begun to restrict the export of jadeite raw stones in recent years. The amount of jadeite raw stones that can flow into the market is decreasing, and the imbalance between supply and demand has led to an increase in its price.
