With the stable and harmonious development of society, while material life has been greatly improved, people's pursuit of beauty and desire for spiritual and cultural life have also been increasing. Jewelry and jade, which carry beauty and value, have thus gained further favor among people, and the jewelry and jade industry has also flourished.

In the big family of jewelry and jade, jadeite, as the "king of jade", has attracted countless jade lovers with its unique charm. So, where lies the beauty of jade?

Rare beauty is forged through thousands of trials and tribulations

Jadeite is a high-quality and rare jade resource and is known as the "King of Jade". Although jade is also produced in Japan, Guatemala, Russia and Kazakhstan, gem-quality jade is only produced in a limited area in Myitkyina, northern Myanmar.

The formation of jade requires strict geological conditions. The Burmese jade deposits are formed by metamorphism in low temperature and high pressure areas. The mining period in Myanmar's mining areas is restricted by seasons, generally from September of the lunar calendar to April of the following year. The rest of the time it was the rainy season, with water filling the pits and the climate being hot, making life and digging impossible.

Most of Myanmar's jadeite production areas are concentrated in undeveloped mountainous areas. Deep in the mountains, it is often impossible to see the sun for a whole day. In the vast forest, only the small paths walked by jade miners are faintly visible.

In the primeval forests and mountains, where people are sparsely populated and jackals and wolves are roaming, many people have gone there and never returned. Due to the primitive tools, short dry season and lack of materials, the mining of jade is extremely difficult and arduous. Therefore, every piece of jade in your hands is hard-earned.

You can't find it anywhere else, and high-quality jade is extremely rare and valuable. A piece of jade gathers the essence of the sun, moon, mountains and rivers, and the spiritual energy of nature. After tens of millions of years of polishing, it comes before us, presenting a rare and precious beauty.
