Question 1: Where does the best jade in the world come from? China's "Four Famous Jade" Generally speaking, China's "Four Famous Jade" refers to "Hetian Jade" produced in Xinjiang, "Xiu Jade" produced in Xiuyan County, Liaoning, "Dushan Jade" produced in Nanyang, Henan, "Turquoise" produced in Yun County, Hubei and other places.
(1) Hotan jade is mainly distributed on the northern slope of the Kunlun Mountains stretching for 1,500 kilometers in Yarkand-Tashkorgan, Hotan-Khotan and Qiemo counties in Xinjiang. There are 9 origins in total. The mineral composition of Hotan jade is mainly tremolite-actinolite, and contains trace amounts of diopside, serpentine, graphite, magnet and other minerals, forming white, turquoise, black, yellow and other different colors. Most It is a single-color jade, and a few have variegated colors. Jade is translucent, has a fat-like luster after polishing, and has a hardness between 5.5 degrees and 6.5 degrees. Hotan jade is found in mountain rocks at an altitude of 3,500 to 5,000 meters. After long-term weathering and peeling, it breaks into fragments of varying sizes, collapses on the hillside, and then flows into the river after being washed by rain. When the river dries up in autumn, the jade pieces collected from the river bed are called seed jade, and those mined from the rock formations are called mountain jade. The earliest jade objects made of Hetian jade that have been discovered come from the tomb of Fuhao in Yinxu. After the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Hotan jade gradually became the main jade material, all of which were collected from seeds. In the Qing Dynasty, mountain materials began to be mined. The Jade Mountain of Dayu's Water Control was carved during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty. The green jade material weighed 10,700 kilograms and was collected from Mileta Mountain.
The economic value of Hetian jade is evaluated based on the purity of its color and texture. Its main varieties are:
White jade: Containing more than 95% tremolite, white in color, pure in texture, delicate in texture, and moist in luster, it is a high-quality variety of Hetian jade. During the prosperous periods of jade making in the Han Dynasty, Song Dynasty and Qing Dynasty, great emphasis was placed on material selection, and high-quality white jade was often carefully carved into important objects.
Mutton-fat white jade: the top grade of white jade, with a pure and delicate texture containing 99% tremolite, and a white color with a subtle luster like gelatin. The economic value of jade of the same weight is several times that of white jade. Mutton-fat white jade was highly valued during the Han Dynasty, Song Dynasty and Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty.
Green white jade: There is no significant difference in texture from white jade, only the jade color is white with a light green color. It is a third-grade jade material in Hetian jade, and its economic value is slightly lower than that of white jade.
Sapphire: A well-proportioned sapphire with light cyan, turquoise, and off-white color. It has uniform color and fine texture. It contains 89% tremolite and 6% actinolite. It has a greasy luster and rich reserves. It is The main varieties of jade collected or mined in the past dynasties.
Topaz: The matrix is ??white jade, which forms a yellow tone in the gaps due to long-term infiltration of iron oxide in surface water. According to the color change, they are named: dense wax yellow, chestnut yellow, okra yellow, yellow flower yellow, egg yolk, etc. Dense sallow yellow and chestnut yellow with strong color are extremely rare, and their economic value can be equal to that of mutton-fat white jade. In the Qing Dynasty, because topaz was a homophone for "emperor" and was extremely rare, its economic value once exceeded that of mutton-fat white jade.
Sugar jade: Iron oxide penetrates into tremolite to form red shells of different shades. Deep red is called sugar jade and tiger skin jade, and white and slightly pink is called pink jade. Sugar jade is often combined with white jade or plain jade to form a two-color jade material, which can be used to make pretty-colored jade articles. Snuff bottles are made from sugar jade skin shell seeds and are said to be wrapped in gold and silver to add value.
Jet jade: tremolite is black due to graphite and magnet components. Most of the black jade is gray-white or gray-black jade with black markings sandwiched between them, which are named according to their shapes as dark clouds, light black light, golden mink beard, beauty's temples, etc. Those with thick and dense black spots are called pure lacquer ink, and their value is higher than other varieties of ink jade. Black jade has a waxy luster and is not suitable for carving and decoration due to its uneven color. It is often used to make vessels inlaid with gold and silver filaments.
Jasper: Produced in the Junggar jade mine, also known as Tianshan Jasper. It comes in gray green, dark green, and dark green, with pure dark green being the top grade. If there are dark spots, black spots or jade veins, the quality will be worse. Jasper contains more than 85% tremolite, has a fine texture, is translucent, and has a greasy luster. It is a mid-range jade.
(2) Xiuyan jade is produced in Xiuyan, Liaoning Province, China. Xiuyan County is a Feng Shui treasure land with beautiful mountains and clear waters, rich products, and a place where wind and energy are stored. After millions of years of natural evolution, the essence of millions of years of sun, moon, mountains and rivers has been condensed, thus creating the world-famous national treasure - Xiuyan Jade.
Xiu jade is one of the four famous jade in China. It can be roughly divided into two categories. One is old jade (also known as river jade). Its texture is simple, dignified and dark green in color. It is a precious Uncut jade.
The other type is nephrite, which has a solid and warm texture, delicate and rounded texture, and is mostly green, among which pure white and gold are used... >>
Question 2: Where is it produced in China? Jade is the best? Of course, it is Hotan jade from Xinjiang. Hotan jade is a treasure of the Chinese nation and the "national stone" of China. As early as the Neolithic Age, the ancestors at the foot of the Kunlun Mountains discovered Hotan jade and transported and exchanged it to the east and west as a treasure and a medium of friendship, forming the "Jade Road", the oldest Hetian jade transportation channel in my country, which later became known as the "Jade Road". The predecessor of the "Silk Road". Hotan jade is distributed on the northern slope of the Kunlun Mountains stretching 1,500 kilometers in Xinjiang's Yarkand-Kashgar Korgan, Hotan-Khotan, and Qiemo counties. There are 9 origins in total.

Question 3: Where is the best jade in China? China's "Four Famous Jade"
China's "Four Famous Jade" generally refers to the "Hetian Jade" produced in Xinjiang, the "Xiu Jade" produced in Xiuyan County, Liaoning, and the "Four Famous Jade" produced in Nanyang, Henan. "Dushan Jade" and "turquoise" produced in Yun County, Hubei and other places.

Question 4: Where is the best jade produced in Xinjiang
Question 5: Where is the best jade in China? The name of Lantian jade is exactly the same as the name of "Xiu jade". Xiu jade is a serpentine jade produced in Xiuyan County, Liaoning Province, so It is named "Xiu Jade", so Lantian Jade must be produced in Lantian County, Shaanxi Province.
In fact, there are many jade stones named after places like this. For example, the serpentine jade produced near Jiuquan City, Gansu Province is called "Jiuquan Jade" (the material of the legendary luminous cup). And the "Khotan jade" that Chinese people are most familiar with is actually nephrite produced in Hotan streams, such as Kunlun jade (nephrite), Nanyang jade (Dushan jade), Taiwan jade (serpentine) Everything is named after place names.
I am a major in gem identification. If you are still unclear, go to the "Gem" bar of Baidu Tieba and have a look! Lantian jade comes from Lantian, not Lishan at all. Lishan has been called this name for at least 2,800 years. How could it be that it was originally called Lantian Mountain? There are many people in Lishan selling various low-grade Lantian jade to make money. To put it bluntly, they are swindling us. The faces of Shaanxi people. In addition, Lantian jade is not very valuable no matter what color it is. If you see a pendant, bracelet or something, if the asking price exceeds 100, don’t even think about it. Just don’t think about it. Of course, it is Hetian jade from Xinjiang. Hetian jade is The treasure of the Chinese nation is the "national stone" of China. As early as the Neolithic Age, the ancestors at the foot of the Kunlun Mountains discovered Hotan jade and transported and exchanged it to the east and west as a treasure and a medium of friendship, forming the "Jade Road", the oldest transport channel for Hotan jade in my country, which later became known as the "Jade Road". The predecessor of the "Silk Road".

Most are single-color jade, and a few are variegated. The jade is translucent and has a fat-like luster after polishing.
Hetian jade is found in mountain rocks at an altitude of 3,500 to 5,000 meters. After long-term decomposition and peeling, it breaks into fragments of different sizes, collapses on the hillside, and then flows into the river after being washed by rain. When the river dries up in autumn, jade pieces collected from the river bed are called seed jade, and jade mined from the rock formations are called mountain jade.

Question 8: Which type of jade is the best? 1. Jade includes jade, Hetian jade, and Xiu jade , Lantian jade, Dushan jade, agate, etc.
2. All the above jade types have the best jade in their fields
3. But which one do you want to ask? The most expensive is undoubtedly jade
4. If you want to ask which is the most cost-effective, of course it is Hetian jade
Why?
Because 30,000 yuan can only buy a medium-grade jadeite bracelet, but it can buy a top-grade Hetian jade and jasper bracelet.
So is there much room for appreciation of this jasper bracelet?
In 2010, the price of such a top-grade jasper bracelet was only about 7,000 yuan, but now it has risen to 30,000 yuan.
Why can’t jadeite?
Because no matter how high the price of a common jadeite rises, its space is limited.
The appreciation space of ordinary products and top products is definitely different
