Burmese Jade

For most jade lover raw green Myanmar jadeite jade is the start.

A current available selection of raw Myanmar Jade stones with different colors see further below . Actually almost all high end jade jewelry and other items using the green stone as a raw material is jadeite today. For a good example see jade silver rings.

Since only jadeite delivers the quality which is demanded today, means brightness saturation & colors which are often a variation of green white black and lavender jade. For jewelry there is hardly a better combination available besides jade silver earrings. For a surprising change in between trying ethnic jewelry which is true Myanmar Jade Jadeite jade often somehow look alike emerald that is also the reason why the very good stones are called emerald jade aside of the raw stones ball chains are sought after for decorative purposes since their green is more intense and brighter compared to the Chinese version of jade which is nephrite which rather has dull colors

Where to buy jade in Myanmar?

The 2 main point of sales are in Yangon the former and in Mandalay around the Mahamuni Pagoda is the largest raw/uncut jade market and the jade mines are in Hpakant in North Myanmar / Kachin State. These places are the best for buying jade/jadeite. When the idea is to buy raw / uncut jadestones keep in mind that jade is very heavy and most traffic means are via aircraft so it can get quite a heavy jade load which naturally costs quite some money. Jade jewelry are usually smaller items which less kilo. There is a land travel route from Bangkok to Yangon by bus but that's a very long distance and not so easy mainly because of the byzantine visa rules from the Myanmar authorities.

For uncut / raw Jade stones a good alternative to buy is Mae Sot in Thailand

Jadeite is a semi-precious stone.

Jadeite is a semi-precious stone having a high value with Chinese people who interpret all kinds of mystic property into it. But that is often with gemstones it's mainly what the user is interpreting into it. Actually this is true Burmese Jadeite jade. Jadeite is the high-end version and nephrite is the low-end. Nephrite is also what is called Chinese Jade but since the Jade mines in China have almost depleted the mineral on the market today is mainly from British Columbia in Canada and exported to China where they make the famous jewelry carvings and objects from.
