Jade Investment Collection

Why have so many people collected jadeite raw stones in recent years? What is the reason that turned a plain-looking stone into the king of jade with great collection value? Let us explore the relationship together!

Generally speaking, when identifying jadeite raw stones, in addition to looking at the quality, we must also pay attention to three characteristics - color, water, and ground. Color refers to the color of the jadeite raw stone, ground refers to the base of the jadeite raw stone, and water refers to the transparency of the jadeite raw stone. When identifying, only jadeite raw stones with excellent color, water and texture can be boldly invested in and collected.

The quality of jadeite raw stone is also one of the factors for judgment. Only through long-term practice to gain experience and physical touch and feeling of the jadeite raw stone can it be judged. The origin of jadeite raw stone is unique, and the complexity of ore formation and unstable output make jadeite raw stone more collectible than other jewelry.

With frequent mining, the resources of jadeite raw stone are gradually facing depletion. High-end old pit jadeite raw stone is even more difficult to mine. Good jadeite raw stone is becoming less and less, so the price of jadeite raw stone has increased by dozens or even hundreds of times in the past decade. In the collecting world, the collection value of high-end jadeite raw stones is far higher than other precious jewellery.

What is even more amazing is that the jadeite raw stone market has continued the "gambling on stones" trading method from ancient times to the present. There is an outer skin of unknown thickness on the surface of jadeite raw stone, and people can only judge its interior by betting. Even in today's technologically advanced society, we still haven't found an instrument that can see through the skin to see whether the contents inside are good or bad. Therefore, the quality of the jadeite raw stone can only be known after it is completely cut. However, the results of gambling on stones are often unexpected.

Jadeite raw stones are not only rich in colors, but also have infinite variations in quality. There are dozens of types, including dry green, bean, lychee, glutinous, egg white, ice and glass. It is very difficult to find two exactly the same jadeite raw stones. In addition, jadeite raw stone has very unique physical properties. It has excellent flame retardancy, toughness, and bearing pressure, and is not easily damaged. Therefore, there is actually no uniform price for jadeite raw stones. When purchasing it, it depends on people’s knowledge of jadeite raw stones. This makes jadeite raw stones more exciting to collect and invest in!

Get a piece of jadeite raw stone that has not been opened, except for its shape, weight and appearance. No one can tell exactly what is inside. Only by cutting the stone open can we know the real result. Gamblers who often come into contact with jadeite raw stones rely on their past experience and then repeatedly make guesses and judgments based on the performance of the skin. Cutting the stone is called "stone cutting" or "stone cutting" in the stone gambling world. If a good green color comes out after cutting, it is called "rising", otherwise it is called "collapsing". "Gambling on stones" is a gamble of financial resources, wisdom, courage and luck.

If you don’t know the mining area, you can’t gamble on stones. If you want to gamble on stones, you must first know the mining area. The Ulong River basin, a tributary of the Chindwin River in northern Myanmar, is a mining area for high-quality jadeite raw stones, with hundreds of new and old mines (pits). Its terrain is hilly and river valley plains, with lush forests and grasses and abundant rainfall, with an annual rainfall of more than 3,000 mm. Jadeite raw stones are divided into mountain materials and seed materials according to their production environment. The former has not been weathered and broken and has grown together with the original rock, with the inside and outside being the same; the latter has been weathered and broken. The outer shell is formed by the transfer of water, soil or river erosion. The characteristics of the outer shell are closely related to the geology, soil, vegetation and water quality of the origin, that is, the gambling stones are different in different locations.

Famous jadeite raw stone mines all have typical characteristics. For example, there are 27 large mining sites in the old factory area in the middle reaches of the Wulong River, and all of them have been mined to a depth of less than 20 meters. There are also more than a dozen mining sites in the Houjiang factory area, with high output and good quality, and are highly valued by merchants. The jadeite raw stones produced deep inside are mostly marked with red wax, black wax and white and yellow wax shells.

In addition, the size and type of cracks are also gambling points for jadeite raw stones. In the stone gambling world, people have a saying: "I'm not afraid of big cracks, but I am afraid of small cracks; I would rather bet on color than on cracks." In the jadeite raw stone transaction, the color of the streaks can be used to determine the degree of damage. White indicates a general crack, while red, yellow, or black indicate severe damage.

Jadeite raw stone attracts people not only because of its many advantages, colorful colors, great toughness and high strength, but the most important point is that jadeite raw stone has great appreciation potential and high collection value. The preciousness and rarity of jadeite raw stone has caused its value to increase like a rocket, by dozens or even hundreds of times in recent years.

In recent years, the output of high-end jadeite rough stones from Myanmar's jadeite rough stone mines has gradually declined, and old pit glass-type jadeite rough stones are even rarer and hard to come by. The raw stone of old pit jadeite is of excellent quality, with high color saturation, rich but not gray, pure but not color cast, bright and uniform, and the highest grade imperial green; and the jade is delicate and pure, with sufficient water head, good light transmittance, crystal clear and transparent, with a glassy luster. Of course, nowadays, glass-type jadeite rough stones mostly appear in the market in colorless and transparent form. Those with green are very rare, and high-green imperial green is even rarer. Therefore, old pit glass-type jadeite rough stones are the top-grade jadeite rough stones. The material is rare and very precious. It has the greatest room for appreciation in the market and is deeply sought after by collectors.

Some experts believe that the quality and value of jadeite raw stone are mainly measured by its color, texture, transparency, purity and other aspects. The best color is emerald green. The finer and denser the texture is, the better. The clearer it is able to transmit visible light, the better. Compared with antiques, calligraphy and paintings, it is easier to preserve; compared with houses, cars, mahogany furniture, etc., it is easy to carry. Compared with other collectibles, the price of jadeite raw stone is stable and has risen significantly, and it has a very high appreciation value. Of course, the scarcity of jadeite raw stone determines its unique collection and investment value. Therefore, if you want to preserve the value of your jadeite rough stones collection, you should "better to have nothing than to have something of poor quality" and choose rare and high-end jadeite rough stones.
