The price of Guatemalan jade has increased for three reasons

Jade from Guatemala (also known as Guatemalan jade) is becoming more and more popular. Many people find that when they see jade being sold on platforms or other channels, more and more people or merchants mention Guatemalan jade. Friends who don’t understand will ask, what is dangerous material? Friends who have some knowledge about Guatemalan jade will ask, Guatemalan jade seems to be getting more and more expensive, what is so good about it? Wasn’t it said to be very bad before?

Wei material is actually jadeite produced in Guatemala, usually referred to as Wei material. Many people have a misunderstanding about it and think that it is not jadeite, because many friends who don’t know much about it have heard about the density of Wei material, saying that the density of Wei material is worse than that of Burmese jadeite, and that its internal structure is sparse and cannot be compared with Burmese jadeite. In fact, this is a somewhat preconceived misunderstanding.

In fact, the density of Wei material is almost the same as that of Burmese jadeite. In our usual impression, the density of Burmese jade is 3.33, but in fact the definition of jade density can be between 3.25 and 3.4. The density of dangerous materials is usually 3.28, and even 3.3 is also common. Therefore, the density of Wei material meets the requirements of jadeite density. It is not entirely as friends misunderstand - the internal structure is sparse.

After talking about the misunderstanding about density, let’s talk about what is so good about Guatemala, which is what many friends have been concerned about recently. In fact, compared with Burmese jadeite, Wei material also has its own advantages. We all know that if the Burmese jade is not of good quality or is tender, it will easily mutate. As for mutation, Wei material does not have this problem. It can be said that compared with Burmese jadeite, Wei material will not mutate. Even Wei material with poor quality will not mutate.

In addition to not mutating, Wei material has another major advantage, which is that it is easy to work on. Many carving masters now increasingly prefer to use Wei material for carving, because it is easier to carve than Burmese jadeite, and it is also easier to show the quality of a master's craftsmanship. To put it in an analogy, Wei material is like 18k gold, and Burmese jade is like 22k gold. Although they can both be carved with various techniques, Wei material can withstand more complex carving themes than Burmese jade, and it can meet more shapes.


Although many friends like simple craftsmanship, it is undeniable that many friends also like more complicated craftsmanship. Wei material is relatively more adaptable to these complex and diverse craftsmanship than Burmese jadeite. Just like 18k gold can be used to make more craft themes than 22k gold. It’s not that 22k gold is bad, it is good, but for some people who have special requirements for workmanship, 18k gold is more durable. Dangerous materials have similar advantages.


The third advantage of Wei material is very practical, that is, there are currently no fakes of it, and friends do not have to worry about buying fake Wei material. We all know that there are often various kinds of BC goods on the market pretending to be Burmese A goods, but we have never seen any pretending to be dangerous goods. Therefore, it has a very practical advantage over Burmese jade, which is that no one is counterfeiting it at present.

When we buy dangerous materials, at most we will suffer a loss, but we will never buy fakes. And speaking of imitation, we have to mention that the reason why dangerous materials were hated in the past was because many businesses sold them as blue water. So, friends, think about it. You have seen a lot of jadeite being sold as blue water, but have you ever seen other jadeite being sold as jadeite? Probably not. Therefore, although it sounds a bit funny, this has indeed become a very real advantage of dangerous materials, as there are currently no fakes.

The above are some of the advantages of dangerous materials that I have summarized and the reasons why they are attracting more and more people. Of course, friends who really like Wei material are definitely not limited to the advantages mentioned above. Friends who like Wei material may also like its unique color, snowflake cotton and other characteristics.

I share this just in the hope that my friends can learn more about this dangerous information. Understand what are the advantages of Weili material and why it is becoming more and more popular. Then, after understanding the advantages of dangerous goods, you will be able to consume them better, instead of blindly buying them just because you see many friends buying them. Finally, don’t belittle it just because it is dangerous material, and don’t blindly pursue it just because many people buy it. (Note: The first type in the picture is Wei material, and the others are Burmese jadeite.)
