Where does the best jade come from?
(1) Hetian jade is mainly distributed in shache-Tashkurgan, Hetian-Hetian jade and the northern slope of Kunlun Mountain, which stretches for 1.500 km in Qiemo County, Xinjiang, with 9 producing areas. Hetian jade is mainly tremolite-actinolite, and contains a small amount of diopside, serpentine, graphite, magnets and other minerals, forming white, turquoise, black, yellow and other different colors, mostly monochromatic jade, with a few variegated colors. Jade is translucent, greasy and shiny after polishing, and its hardness is between 5.5 and 6.5 degrees. Hetian jade is sandwiched between rocks at an altitude of 3500 meters to 5000 meters. After a long period of weathering, it was stripped into pieces of different sizes, collapsed on the hillside, and then washed by rain and flowed into the river. When the river dries up in autumn, the jade pieces collected in the river bed are called seed jade, and those mined in the rock stratum are called mountain materials. The earliest Hetian jade has been found from Fu Hao's tomb in Yin Ruins. After the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Hetian jade gradually became the main jade material, and it was not until the Qing Dynasty that the mountain material was mined. Dayu, made in Qianlong period of Qing Dynasty, was used to control Yushan Mountain. Sapphire weighs 1.07 kg, which is taken from Mileta Mountain.
The economic value of Hetian jade is evaluated according to the purity of color and texture. Its main varieties are:
White jade: It contains more than 95% tremolite, with white color, pure texture and delicate luster. It is a high-quality variety of Hetian jade. During the prosperous period of jade-making in Han, Song and Qing dynasties, great attention was paid to the selection of materials, and high-quality white jade was often carefully carved as a heavy weapon.
Sheep fat white jade: the top grade of white jade, pure and delicate in texture, containing tremolite as high as 99%, and its white color is as delicate as jelly. The economic value of jade with the same weight is several times that of white jade. Sheep fat white jade was highly respected in Han Dynasty, Song Dynasty and Qing Qianlong period.
Blue white jade: There is no obvious difference in texture from white jade, but the jade color is pale turquoise, which is the third-class jade material in Hetian jade, and its economic value is slightly lower than that of white jade.
Sapphire: It is called sapphire when its color is light blue, turquoise and gray. Uniform color, fine texture, tremolite 89%, actinolite 6%, oily, rich in reserves. It is the main variety of jade collected or mined in past dynasties.
Topaz: The matrix is white jade, which is yellow in cracks due to the long-term infiltration of iron oxide in surface water. According to the color change, it is named as: dense wax yellow, chestnut color, okra yellow, yellow flower yellow, egg yolk, etc. Close wax yellow and chestnut color are extremely rare, and their economic value can reach sheep fat white jade. In the Qing dynasty, topaz was a homophonic for the emperor, which was extremely rare. At one time, its economic value exceeded sheep fat white jade.
Sugar jade: iron oxide permeates tremolite to form red skin with different shades, deep red is sugar jade and tiger skin jade, and white with pink is pink jade. Sugar jade often forms a two-color jade material with white jade or plain jade, which can be used to make beautiful jade. Snuff bottles are made of sugar and jade shell seeds, and it is said that gold-coated silver should increase in value.
Jet: Tremolite containing graphite and magnets is black. The jet jade is mostly gray-white or gray-ink jade with black stripes, and it is named black cloud, light ink, golden sable beard, beauty temple and so on. Pure lacquer ink with dense black spots is more valuable than other jet varieties. Jet has a waxy luster, which is not suitable for carving patterns because of uneven color. It is mostly used to make utensils inlaid with gold and silver thread.
Jasper: produced in Junggar jade mine, also known as Tianshan Jasper. It is grayish green, dark green and dark green, with pure dark green as the top grade. The quality of black spots, black spots or jade tendons is one grade worse. Jasper contains more than 85% tremolite, with delicate texture, translucency and oily luster, belonging to mid-range jade.
(2) xiuyan jade was born in Xiuyan, Liaoning, China. Xiuyan County is a place with beautiful scenery and rich products, and it is a treasure trove of geomantic omen. After thousands of years of natural evolution, it has condensed the essence of thousands of years of mountains and rivers, thus producing a world-famous national treasure-xiuyan jade.
Jade is one of the four famous jade in China, which can be roughly divided into two categories. One is the old jade (also called Hemo jade), which is a precious rough jade with simple texture, dignified and dark green color. The other is nephrite, which is solid and moist, delicate and round, mostly green, including pure white and gold ... >; & gt
Question 2: Where does the best jade in China come from? Hetian jade in Xinjiang is, of course, the treasure of the Chinese nation and the "national stone" of China. As early as the Neolithic Age, the ancestors at the foot of Kunlun Mountain discovered Hetian jade and transported it to the east and west as a treasure and a medium of friendship, forming the oldest transportation channel of Hetian jade in China, which was the predecessor of the Silk Road. Hetian jade is distributed in shache-Kashi Kurgan, Hotan-Khotan, Qiemo County, and the northern slope of Kunlun Mountain, which is 0/500 km away, with 9 producing areas. Hetian jade is mainly composed of tremolite-actinolite, and contains a small amount of diopside, serpentine, graphite, magnets and other minerals, forming different colors such as white, turquoise and black. Most of them are monochromatic jade, and a few have variegated colors. Emerald is translucent and has a greasy luster after polishing. Hetian jade is sandwiched between rocks at an altitude of 3500 to 5000 meters. After a long period of differentiation and stripping, it split into pieces of different sizes, collapsed on the hillside, and then flowed into the river by rain. When the river dries up in autumn, the jade pieces collected in the river bed are called seed jade, and those mined in the rock stratum are called mountain materials. The earliest Hetian jade has been found from Fu Hao's tomb in Yin Ruins. After the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Hetian jade became the main jade material, collecting seed material, and it was not until the Qing Dynasty that the mountain material was mined. Dayu was made during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty to control the water in Yushan. Sapphire weighs more than 5000 kilograms, which is taken from Maitreya Mountain. At present, Hetian jade, Shaanxi lantian jade, Henan Nanyang jade, Gansu Jiuquan jade and Liaoning Uranium Rock jade are also called the five famous jade in China.
Question 3: Where is the best jade in China? China's "Four Famous Jade"
Generally speaking, the "four famous jade" in China refers to Hetian jade produced in Xinjiang, xiuyan jade in Liaoning, dushan jade in Nanyang, Henan and turquoise produced in Yunxian, Hubei.

Question 4: Where is the best jade produced in Xinjiang?
Question 5: It is best to know the location of jadeite in China. Lantian jade's name is the same as "Jade". Jade is a serpentine jade produced in Xiuyan County, Liaoning Province, hence the name "Jade". Therefore, lantian jade must be produced in Lantian County, Shaanxi Province.
In fact, there are many jadeites named after place names like this, such as serpentine jadeite produced near Jiuquan City, Gansu Province, which is called "Jiuquan Jade" (the legendary material for making luminous cups), and the "Hetian Jade" that China people are most familiar with is actually nephrite produced in Hotan River, such as Kunlun Jade (nephrite), Nanyang Jade (dushan jade) and Taiwan Jade (Taiwan Jade).
I'm a graduate student studying gem identification. If I don't know, just go to Baidu Post Bar "Gem" and have a look! Lantian jade belongs to Lantian, not Lishan at all. Mount Li has been named after this name for at least 2800 years. How can it be called Lantian Mountain? But many people at the foot of Lishan sell low-grade lantian jade to cheat money, which is a disgrace to us in Shaanxi. Besides, lantian jade is not very valuable in any color. If you see a pendant bracelet or something, if the asking price exceeds 100, don't even think about it. Of course, it should not be Hetian jade in Xinjiang. Hetian jade is the treasure of the Chinese nation and the "national stone" of China. As early as the Neolithic Age, the ancestors at the foot of Kunlun Mountain discovered Hetian jade and transported it to the east and west as a treasure and a medium of friendship, forming the oldest transportation channel of Hetian jade in China, which was the predecessor of the Silk Road.

2. All the above jade species have the best jade in their field.
3, but you have to ask which is the most expensive, it is undoubtedly jade.
4. If you want to ask which is the most cost-effective, it is of course Hetian jade.
Why?
Because 30 thousand can only buy a medium-sized ordinary jade bracelet, but you can buy a top-level Hetian jade bracelet.
So is there much room for appreciation of this jasper bracelet?
The top jasper bracelet such as 20 10, the price is only about 7000 yuan, and now it has risen to 30 thousand yuan.
Why can't jadeite?
Because an ordinary jade, no matter how it rises, the space is limited.
The appreciation space of ordinary products and the best products is definitely different.
