Is the jade culture only available in China? too young! Let history tell you the truth!

The jadeite, which is deeply loved in China, is rare in the international jewelry market and has become a unique jewelry culture. Historically, Europe has also been one of the earliest places to use jade. Among the archaeological discoveries of the Neolithic Age, emeralds appeared in the United Kingdom, France, Switzerland, the Netherlands, and Belgium. The jadeite of this period was mainly used to make weapons such as axes and scrapers because of its high hardness.

The 1963 study found that a total of 69 jade axe unearthed from the Neolithic site in Britain, two out of which are nephrite, and all others are jade. In the Netherlands, France, Germany, Poland, etc., jade articles made of jadeite were also discovered. Later, Jade gradually collected as a wealth of various works of art produced by its aesthetic value and ceremonial value. Archaeologists have proved that ancient Europe is a region that loves jade.

The ancient European civilization is known for its gem culture, the legend of jewellery is rich, and the concept of gemstones such as modern wedding jewellery and birthstone originated in Europe. However, for a long time, the traditional ancient Europe of jade culture or jade jade has been forgotten and become another unsolved mystery.

In the fifteenth century, Europeans discovered the New World and obtained a large amount of jadeite products from the Indians. The jade culture created by the Indians and the jade culture in the Chinese civilization also have many striking similarities. They believe that jade has a noble character, full of spirituality and philosophy, and its use is limited to the royal family.

Emerald is also a luxury in the ancient Mayan civilization. It is said that in the 16th century, Mexicans wanted to contribute the jade ornaments that were taken from the Mayans to the king, and they were prohibited from mining and trading by local Spanish officials. Along with the archaeological excavations of the ancient Mayan city in the middle of the 20th century, a large number of jade ornaments were unearthed.

The Chinese's emphasis on jade began in the court of the Qing Dynasty. During the Opium War, Europe plundered a large number of Chinese jadeite jade articles. In order to understand the characteristics of jadeite, French mineralogists determined that the mineral composition of jadeite is a silicate of aluminum and sodium, called jadeite. This is the first time that Jadeite has been named after modern mineralogy knowledge, and Europeans have rekindled their passion for jade.

In the 1920s, "Art Deco style" rose in Europe, and patterns from the East and various ancient or new materials were used in jewelry crafts. Emerald and jade were introduced into the western jewellery field, and a large number of European-style jade decorative works were created.

Myanmar Jade Raw Rock Mining Area - Longken Mining Area and other mining areas

In the past two hundred years, although Myanmar has been the main supplier of jade, the real situation of the Myanmar jade deposit is still hidden behind the mysterious veil, and it is difficult to see the true face.

There are six countries in the world that produce jade, and because some of the jadeite quality of the place is not enough for the production of jade jewelry, until today only Myanmar is the largest and best quality jade production.

The Japanese countries of Asia, Russia's Kazakh, Europe's Guatemala, and North America's California, etc., have found jade deposits, but they are not as good as the emeralds produced in Myanmar in terms of quantity and quality. Use raw materials.

The specific production area of ​​jadeite is called the field area and the field (plant) mouth. It actually refers to the place where the ore body is located when the ore body (jade, gravel) is excavated. It is generally named after the local translation of Myanmar.

Jade is not only produced in Myanmar, but also in other places, but it is not up to the gem level. The only thing that reaches the gem level is Myanmar.
