The reason is very simple:

1. The formation conditions of jade are extremely special and complex, and the collection conditions are extremely difficult;

2. The Chinese people have always loved jade. It has been deeply rooted in the bone marrow for a long time, and jade culture is also an important component of Chinese culture;

3. Jade is mainly produced in Myanmar and is a non-renewable resource; due to predatory mining in recent years, the raw materials of Hotan jade have become less and less ;

4. The country becomes rich and powerful, and the people have money!

The incident of 300,000 bracelets being broken into pieces in Yunnan has caused quite a sensation. What happened is as follows (the following pictures are not real pictures of the incident):

This bracelet is so beautiful! Anyone who sees it can’t help but want to wear it!

It turned out that it was worth 300,000 yuan per listen, and it broke into pieces when I shook my hand...

I fainted from fright, don’t laugh! It's you, can you hold on?

Of course, in the end, the two parties have successfully reconciled and everyone is happy.

Let me ask you, do you still dare to try the bracelet?

What the protagonist broke in the incident was a jade bracelet of good quality...

It’s time for the popular science girl to appear (the popular science content is not long, so stick with it)!

The common jades on the market are mainly jadeite (i.e. jadeite) and Hetian jade (i.e. soft jade). Jadeite is a rare species in the pyroxene group, one of the most common rock-forming minerals in nature, and belongs to the monoclinic crystal system. Nephrite is a hydrated calcium-magnesium silicate with a chain-like structure. It is a microscopic fibrous or dense massive mineral aggregate composed of mainly tremolite and actinolite in the amphibole group of rock-forming minerals, and containing other trace mineral components. The chemical composition is Ca2(Mg, Fe2+)5 (Si4O11) 2(OH) 2. Belongs to the monoclinic crystal system.

Can’t understand? It doesn't matter, you can understand it like this:

"Jadeite" and "nephrite", the former is a mineral aggregate composed of the mineralogyne mineral jadeite, commonly known as "jade"; the latter is A mineral aggregate composed of the mineralogical hornblende mineral tremolite-actinolite series minerals, commonly known as "Hetian Jade", their hardness is greater than 6. The internationally termed Jade also specifically refers to jade and soft jade, and other jade carving stones are collectively referred to as jade.

Here comes the problem. The broken jade bracelet was professionally evaluated and appraised. The market value is 180,000 yuan, and the purchase price is... 170,000 yuan!

The protagonist is so angry! How is the price of jade determined?

In this regard, Yu Ning from the National Jewelry Quality Supervision and Inspection Center said: There are no clear and internationally accepted evaluation standards and quotations for jade, and there is no grade evaluation mechanism accepted by the industry. It can only be determined through industry constraints. ***Knowledge to estimate its price range.

As the saying goes, gold is valuable but jade is priceless! So, you know!
