Jadeite rough is a precious gemstone that is highly sought after for its unique texture, color, and texture. To understand the origin of jadeite rough, you first need to understand the background of the formation of jadeite. Emerald is formed by magma cooling and crystallizing in the earth's crust below the surface. As a result, jadeite rough is often found in places that were once heavily active in magma.
According to the research and field investigations of geologists, jadeite rough is mainly distributed in the following areas:
1.Myanmar region.
The Myanmar region is one of the world's largest sources of jadeite rough, especially in the Kachin State region of northern Myanmar. The region is rich in primary jadeite deposits and has been mined for a long time, making it the world's leading jadeite market. Myanmar's jadeite rough deposits are widely distributed, from Kachin State in the north to Sagaing Province in the south. Among them, the Hpakant region is one of the most famous mining areas, producing the highest quality jadeite rough, and most of them are high-quality gem-quality jadeite. Many mines have been depleted or abandoned due to long-term mining, but new ones are still being discovered and mined.
2.Guatemala region.
The Guatemala region is also one of the important sources of jadeite rough. The region's jadeite deposits are mainly found in the high mountains of the central region, including the regions of Antigua, Quiché, Motagua and Petén. The quality of jadeite rough in these regions is not as high as that of jadeite rough in Myanmar, and most of them are low-grade jadeite raw materials. However, in recent years, the quality of jadeite rough in the region has improved, and some high-quality jadeite rough stones have been discovered and mined one after another.
3.Japan region.
There are also some jadeite deposits in the Japan region, mainly concentrated in the prefectures of Akita, Yamagata, and Fukui. The quality of jadeite rough in these areas is relatively low, and most of them are low-grade jadeite raw materials. But in recent years, there have also been some high-quality jadeite rough discoveries and mines in Japan.
Jadeite rough is mainly distributed in Myanmar, Guatemala, Japan and other regions. The jadeite deposits in these areas have their own characteristics, but they are all rich in jadeite resources. For gem collectors and enthusiasts, understanding these origins can help to better select and identify the quality and value of rough jadeite.
