The Future of Jadeite: The End of Myanmar Mines and the Truth of Old Mine Ice Jadeite Written by Longserving Jewelry Research Center

From Emerald to Jadeite: The Green Soul Beyond Luxury

In the East, another kind of green has quietly flourished for millennia—jadeite, known among Chinese as “The King of Jade.”

Emerald wins with light; jadeite triumphs with soul.

The former dazzles like a fleeting spark; The latter is serene, like life in gentle motion.

The value of emeralds is driven by brand prestige and clarity, whereas the value of jadeite arises from its culture, heritage, and rarity.

If emerald represents Western romance,then jadeite embodies Eastern eternity.

In this era of mine closures and dwindling natural supply, jadeite not only rivals emerald—it surpasses it.

I. The Era of Rarity: The Current State of Natural Jadeite

In the world of gemstones, none embody both culture and wealth quite like jadeite. Its lush green hues and water-like luster have earned it the title “King of Jade.” Yet this glory is now entering an age of scarcity.

For the past three decades, Kachin State in northern Myanmar has been the world’s only region producing high-quality jadeite on a large scale. Today, however, the closure of mining concessions, stricter environmental regulations, and years of overextraction have turned once-vibrant green valleys into silent gray wastelands.

In 2020, a massive landslide in the Hpakant mining area killed hundreds of miners, marking a turning point in Myanmar’s jadeite history. In the years that followed, the government imposed successive mining bans and restructuring efforts, causing the supply of raw jadeite to plummet.

For the market, this means that “authentic Burmese jadeite” is disappearing — and top-grade rough stones are becoming nearly impossible to find.

II. The Mining Map of Myanmar: From Hpakant to Muna

In the jade trade, one cannot discuss jadeite without mentioning “mine site,” known in Chinese as “pithead” A mine site denotes not only geography but also heritage and quality lineage.

Hpakant — the “mother of all pitheads” — has produced countless legendary imperial-green jadeites throughout history. Within Hpakant lie subzones such as Mowanji, Muna, Dagudi, and Mamon, each known for yielding exceptional material.

•Muna Mine is famed for its rich color and fine, compact texture — regarded by connoisseurs as the true emblem of an “old mine.”

•Hau Giang Mine is known for its translucency, producing pale yet crystal-clear jadeite often cut into ice or glass varieties.

•Other mines such as Moka, Nanqi, and Moshisha, though smaller in scale, occasionally produce remarkable surprises.

Today, many of these mine sites have been declared “exhausted” — meaning high-quality jadeite material has run out, and mining costs far exceed returns. The glory of the old mines now lives mostly in private collections, while new or peripheral sites occasionally yield fine stones but lack consistent supply.

A Treasured Relic from the Kangxi Imperial Study Reappears

A Treasured Relic from the Kangxi Imperial Study Reappears National-Treasure-Grade Mutton Fat White Jade Ruyi Guanyin Makes a Stunning Appearance

Author / Chen YiChong – WGIC and China Light Industry Ministry Certified Jewelry Appraiser, GJA Jadeite Trading Evaluator

Last week, an artist with an impressive collection invited me to view a mysterious antique — an old white jade Guanyin statue.

He carefully lifted the velvet-wrapped silk box lid. Under the soft light, the warm, unctuous jade surface, smooth as congealed fat, emitted a serene glow.

Upon first glance, I was deeply impressed—this is a classic example of Qing Dynasty craftsmanship, with slender proportions and precise, subtle lines. A closer inspection revealed its fine, oily texture with no granular feel, strong translucency, soft and unctuous luster, absence of cracks, black spots, or impurities. The warm, non-chilling touch all place it in the “Mutton Fat White Jade” collection grade, the highest among special grades. “White as congealed fat, lustrous as autumn water” perfectly describes this museum-grade piece.

This Ruyi Guanyin stands approximately seventeen centimeters tall, an extremely rare large object in nephrite jade. The carving is exquisitely executed and flawlessly seamless, the lines gentle yet firm, the expression tranquil and serene. Guanyin’s right hand holds a “Ruyi,” symbolizing the realization of all wishes and perfect fulfillment.

Such a National Palace Museum -grade piece is rumored to date back to the Kangxi reign (1662–1722) and was originally an auspicious object displayed in the Imperial Study. At that time, master craftsmen used the finest jade material, adhering to the strict aesthetic standards of the imperial court, to sculpt this dignified and tranquil sacred image. Through centuries, the jade quality remains pristine white, smooth as congealed fat, its brilliance subtle and reserved.

“The Difference Between Jadeite (Hard Jade) and Nephrite (Soft Jade)” Jadeite’s chemical composition is sodium aluminum silicate (belonging to the Pyroxene group). Nephrite’s chemical composition is calcium magnesium iron amphibole (belonging to the Amphibole group). Therefore, “Hard Jade” and “Soft Jade” are not the same mineral; they are two different families of jade stones.

In terms of internal structure: Jadeite’s granular crystals interweave to produce a vitreous (glassy) luster. Hotan (Hetian) jade’s dense fibrous crystals interweave to produce an oily luster, like fat (greasy luster). Hardness (Mohs): Jadeite is about 6.5–7, Nephrite is about 6–6.5. Specific Gravity: Jadeite is about 3.3–3.5, Nephrite is about 2.9–3.1. Thus, “Hard Jade” is harder, but “Soft Jade” is tougher.
