Zhou Yanming: Hetian Yu could not finish it for 100 years

With the popularity of Hetian jade in the jewelry market in recent years, the original “Luanguang” of the most loved jade has slowly cultivated a group of loyal fans of Hetian jade, but the ever-rising price has made quite a lot of love jade. People sigh. Although the price of high-grade Hetian jade has risen by at least five times in the past year, businessmen who have been operating jade all year round have told reporters that the price increase of Hetian jade has tended to be stable, and after speculation it needs a rational return. As previously reported about the depletion of the Hetian jade vein, Zhou Yanming, executive vice president of the Xinjiang Jewelers Association, clearly stated in an interview with the Yangcheng Evening News reporter: “Hetian jade has never been harvested for a hundred years.”

After the speculation, the price increase has slowed down. The Guangzhou Cultural Relics Store has been operating jewelery for a long time. Liang Jiantao, deputy manager of Bogu Zhai, told reporters: “The price increase of Hetian jade is far from the height of jadeite. The price of Hetian jade has increased by 30%-50 over the past year. After the frantic rise from 2006 to 2009, Hetian Yu’s price increase has stabilized in the last three years, which is very beneficial to Baiyu fans entering the market.”

Does this mean that the bubble of Hetian jade has emerged? It is understood that since the reform and opening up, Hetian jade prices have risen at least 100,000 times.

However, at the “Xinjiang Hetian Baiyu Art Appreciation Exhibition” held at the cultural relics headquarters, the reporter saw that the boutique was still sought after by the market. Majin Gui and Zhou Yanming’s two jade carving masters were put on the shelves and were booked.

Liang Jiantao said: “Quality Hengqiang, mid-range Hetian jade has tripled in the past year or so, and high-grade has risen at least five times. If you invest in, buy Hetian jade preferred good-quality products, not only the price will certainly rise steadily. It will be easier to shoot in the future."

“Before, Guangzhou people didn’t like Hetian Yu. At the same price, I would rather buy a small jade ring and would not buy a piece of Hetian jade. Now Hetian jade’s market in Guangzhou is gradually forming, and the price increase in the future It is also immeasurable." Zhou Yanming said.

A large number of jade mines ice-covered under the iceberg jade collections investment after experiencing the enthusiasm in recent years, is returning rationally. One reason why the price of Hetian jade surged before was that it was rumored that the Hetian jade mine in Xinjiang has been exhausted due to being mined wildly.

When Zhou Yanming attended the exhibition in Guangzhou, he explicitly told the Yangcheng Evening News reporter: “Hetian jade cannot finish it for a hundred years.”

“Hetian jade is produced in the Kunlun Mountain and has more than 1,200 kilometers of mountains. I don’t know how many Hetian jade jade mines are buried. Hetian jade cannot be exhausted. The mountain ore ore has not yet been discovered yet. The jade mining area has been depleted due to uncontrolled mining, and the seed material in the river bed has also been scouring almost, while the unknown large number of jade mines are frozen under icebergs and are difficult to extract, and the government has also started to restrict exploitation. Therefore, Hetian jade resources are becoming increasingly scarce," said Zhou Yanming.

Hetian jade fake too much Guangzhou people do not like Hetian jade? In addition to being influenced by Hong Kong and Taiwan, “Laoguang” generally loved Jade. Many people in the interview told reporters: “Because Hetian jade has too many fakes.”

Liang Muzhou, the deputy general manager of Guangdi Jewelry, told the reporter: “At present, in the Standard for Jewellery and Jade Commodities, Hetian jade is just a synonym for tremolite, Xinjiang Hetian jade, Qinghai jade, and Russian jade, all of which can be called Hetian jade. As with marble, Hetian jade does not have a meaning of origin.Since Hetian jade was written on the certificate of authentication, there are unscrupulous merchants who will impregnate Qinghai jade and Russian jade as Xinjiang Hetian jade, causing many consumers to suffer a loss. The price of Hetian jade seed produced in Xinjiang is five times that of Russian materials, 10 times more than Qinghai materials, and more than 15 times that of South Korean materials. The collection of jade objects is a test of Tibetan eyesight and judgment."
