Hetian jade is getting scarcer now, will one day be dug?

To clarify this question, we must first understand that "Hetian jade" has a broad and narrow concept. From these two concepts, we will explore "Hetian jade" and dig more and less. The answer is quite different.

In the broad sense, Hetian jade has more reserves than gold in the world.

In the broad sense, Hetian jade is based on the national standard, which is based on the identification of mineral components, rather than the identification of the origin. Jade, which is mainly composed of tremolite and actinolite, can be called “Hetian jade”. Therefore, in addition to China (Xinjiang, Qinghai, Liaoning), tremolites produced in Russia, Canada, Romania, and Korea. jade. The data shows that in the broad sense, Hetian jade's reserves in the world are much higher than gold.

The storage of Hetian jade in Xinjiang is far from exhausted.

In the narrow sense, Hetian Yu said straightforwardly that it is the Hetian jade of Xinjiang, which mainly refers to the jade produced by Kunlun Mountain in the geographical area of ​​Kashgar, Zhongjinghetian, and Qiemo. In the previous years, the Xinjiang Bureau of Geology and Minerals made a forecast of 47,000 tons of Hetian jade resources in the Hetian area. Compared with nearly 10,000 tons of mining in the past 40 years after liberation, the storage of Xinjiang Hetian jade is far from exhausted. It should be noted that this data does not include the reserves of Hetian Yushan in other parts of Xinjiang, such as Hetian Yubiyu in Manas County, Xinjiang.

Although the reserves of Hetian Yushan are sufficient, even under today's modern conditions, the mining difficulty is still very large, and the price of the mountain material is greatly affected by this.

Further analysis of the occurrence of Hetian jade in Xinjiang can be divided into Zishan material, mountain water, and sub-materials. The formation of the sub-materials is carried out by the Hetian jade stone (mountain material) through the movement of nature, forming mountain water, mountain water and water washed by the river for millions of years, and finally deposited in the scouring plain of the river. The sub-materials are also the most precious because of their formation mechanism.

There are many rivers in the lower reaches of Kunlun Mountain, and in theory there is the possibility of producing sub-materials. For example, the Yulong Kashi River, the Karakash River, the Yarkant River, and the Chechen River have all seen sub-materials. Among the many rivers, the white jade material produced by the Yulong Kashi River is the most famous, and the high-end white jade material is almost synonymous with “Xinjiang Yangzhiyu”.

Since the beginning of this century, the Yulong Kashi River has been overexploited and its raw materials have been difficult. This situation is what people often say, "Hetian jade is less and less digging."
