1. Hetian jade Gobi material.

Gobi material is a kind of output form of Hetian jade, the color is mutton fat white, white jade, topaz, yellow mouth, black green, green jade, black jade, jasper, etc., the hardness is higher than the seed material, and the density is 30 or so.

The production area of Hetian jade Gobi material starts from Tashkurgan Tajik Autonomous County in Kashgar region in the west, passes through Hotan area in the middle, and extends to the east to the Milan area of Ruoqiang County in Bayingolin Mongolian Autonomous Prefecture in the east, and the Gobi material is produced on the Gobi desert of more than 1,000 kilometers, and the main production area is in Ruoqiang, Celle, Yecheng, Zepu area, and Ruoqiang topaz Gobi material is the most precious.

2. The jewel light on the Gobi Desert.

The gemstone light is mainly distributed in the 100-kilometer radius of the Devil City of Wuerhe in Karamay, Xinjiang, which is the fine product of gold silk jade and the cryptocrystalline aggregate of quartz. However, it is different from ordinary jade, which is opaque or translucent.

The best gemstone light can reach transparency, and the color is mainly red, yellow, and white. In addition, it should be emphasized that because of the long-term lying on the Gobi Desert, the gold silk jade gemstone has been exposed to the wind and sun for many years, so that its structure is very stable, and it will not be as easy to lose water as other chalcedony, which is another manifestation of its superiority.

The gemstone light is dominated by silica, and the color (monochrome should be based on pure quality and uniform color) is precious. Transparent, crystal clear, no impurities are the best.

3. Jasper colored stone.

Jasper is produced in Alxa, Inner Mongolia, and is a kind of Alxa Gobi agate. Jasper has red, green, black, and purple colors, with a delicate and uniform texture, a smooth surface, and sometimes a beautiful color. A few jasper surfaces have crimson red, black, and desert paint. Some green jasper has radial white patterns, like chrysanthemums in full bloom;Some symbiotic milky white agate on black jasper balls;Some symbiotic green agate on red jasper.

4. Hami's opal.

Opals (opals) produced in Hami area of Xinjiang are white, red, purple cyan, brown-red and chanterelle yellow. It is gelatinous, warm and translucent, and the fine products after polishing can have a cat-eye sense, which is suitable for making rings and wearing, and can be used for exquisite carving, which is highly respected by stone players. Among them, the rough stones exposed to the surface are generally with sun rust, mostly purple gelatinous or albumin, and the texture is better.

Underground opal is generally associated with other veins in the solid rock, the reserves are very small, and the mechanical mining is easy to crack, and the color is red, purple, chanterelle, black, colorful, etc. The opal collected underground generally has a surface layer of about 1-2 cm and has a good texture, mostly colloidal and transparent, with red, purple and cyan luster, which can reach the gem level, and its Mohs hardness reaches 7Above 5 degrees, the hardness is higher than that of agate.

At present, the surface opal resources are basically depleted, which can be called a collector's treasure. The surface rough stone is generally small, and the underground opal is generally only able to make small ornaments because of its high-quality layer, and the translucent material that can make bracelets is basically difficult to find.

5. Muscle vein stone.

It is produced in the depths of the Gobi Desert and is a rare and non-renewable stone. The stone is mainly produced in the Alxa area of Inner Mongolia, Outer Mongolia, and a small amount in the Gobi of Xinjiang. It is known for its brilliant and diverse colors, and the clearer the veins, the more beautiful they are.

After tens of millions of years of years and wind and sand, the possession of the vein stone represents eternity, longevity and immortality.

6. Desert roses.

Desert rose stone, also known as "Gobi stone", "wind carved stone", "wind stone", is mainly produced in the vast Gobi. It is a symbiotic crystal of calcite, quartz, and hard permeable gypsum. The stone variety resembles a rose in shape, and grows in the desert, so it is called "desert rose".

According to its growth form, it can be divided into monomeral, conjoined, branched and clustered. In terms of size, the diameter of the monomer is generally 1Between 5-10 cm, conjoined at 10-50 cm or larger. The hardness is extremely low, only 2 degrees, and the texture is easily damaged. It is one of the few elephant flower minerals in natural stones, and has high ornamental value.
