1. Myanmar’s most famous jadeite producing area There are many types of jade, and there is a lot of knowledge involved. But in the final analysis, a good piece of jade must be inseparable from good raw stone material. But do you know where the best jade in the world comes from? The world’s jadeite can be found in Myanmar, and Myanmar’s jadeite can be found in the following two mining areas! 1. Longken (Longken, Dragon Pit) Longken is located in the northwest of Myanmar, near Longtan, 50 kilometers northwest of Gangban, 136 kilometers from North China, and 102 kilometers from Menggong. It is located on both sides of the Ulu River. In 1979, a piece of jade weighing 20 tons was discovered here. It was officially mined in 1981 and was called the "820" stone. It has been famous ever since. The characteristic of the jade here is that it has a white lard base, with little appearance and the color diamonds inside. 2. Hpakant Phakant is located on the west bank of the Ulu River, not far from Longken. It is a long village surrounded by mining areas such as Papin, Qiaowu, Modang, Moxian and Mameng. Hpakant is a jade producing area with a long history. It has a population of about 2,000 households and is lined with houses and shops. The area is famous for its black sand shell jade. 2. What type of jade should I choose for my collection and investment? 1. Jewelry Jade jewelry can be the first choice for beginners to collect and invest in. Because jewelry is easy to preserve, easy to sell, has a high rate of return, does not involve gambling, has minimal risk, and has flexible prices. Common jade jewelry includes jade rings, bracelets, earrings, necklaces, corsages, various pendants and flower pieces, etc. There is huge room for appreciation in investing in jade jewelry. 2. Carvings Jade carvings are divided into two categories: monochrome and multi-color. They are popular because of their large size, ingenious design, fine workmanship and auspicious meaning. Images of Guanyin pendants, the God of Longevity, and Maitreya Buddha all belong to this category. However, fine jade carvings require relatively large investments and a longer turnover time, so investors must have unique vision, perseverance and patience. 3. Rough Stone Purchasing jadeite raw stones, also known as "gambling on stones", is a commercial transaction activity full of magic and excitement. A plain-looking rough stone often requires an investment of tens or hundreds of millions of yuan. If it is high-quality and full of green, the investor may become rich overnight, but if it turns out to be a piece of low-quality jade, he will become a pauper in the blink of an eye. 3. Secrets you must know when buying jadeite! 1. Don’t buy unauthenticated jade Among the fraud cases handled by testing agencies, more than 90% did not have corresponding identification materials. Therefore, when purchasing jadeite, you must check whether there is an appraisal certificate from an institution, and try to buy it from a regular merchant to increase the insurance factor. 2. Do not buy jadeite at tourist attractions or mobile stalls Why not buy from these two places? There are two reasons: one is that it is easy to buy fakes, and the other is that you have to spend more money. Some tourist shops and tour guides from travel agencies even work together to find out the hometowns of the visiting groups in advance. The shop owners pretend to be fellow villagers to deceive tourists, making them indulge in the nostalgia and be deceived unknowingly. After buying it, I want to return it but I can't find anyone. 3. Look carefully before buying If you can't see it clearly, you can take it outside the store in the sunlight and look at it repeatedly, or look at it carefully with a 10x magnifying glass. Some defects of jade, such as incompleteness, repair, bonding, cracks, etc., may not be clearly visible under the incandescent or fluorescent lights in the store. If you are careless, you may discover the problem after paying the money, and then it cannot be saved.
