Chapter 299: A River

Tang Feng had this idea, but it didn't pop up directly at the beginning of his head, but after hearing Wang Shengli's description of the current problems facing the jewelry industry, he had such an idea.

According to Wang Shengli, the biggest problem facing the entire jewelry industry is nothing more than the supply of raw materials. Now those individual bosses like Wang Shengli have no fundamental guarantee for the source of raw materials, and the source of raw materials of those large chain groups is nothing more than taking goods directly from the mines of various raw materials.

In the final analysis, the guarantee of jewelry raw materials is nothing more than those mines of jewelry raw materials!

Mines like gold mines, jade rough mines, ruby sapphire rough mines, diamond mines, etc.!

Maybe other people who are engaged in jewelry will have to ask the owners of those jewelry raw material mines, but do we need to ask for it? His sisters and sisters, as long as Lao Tzu is happy, he can make a mine with large output and good quality in minutes!

Needless to say, in the underground of the mine in the Norseman town of Australia, there are thousands of tons of precious metal composite ore transported from the Kajabi mine, if you really want to get involved in the jewelry industry, just find an opportunity to move the mine out of Australia, and then develop it, thousands of tons of silver, hundreds of tons of gold and dozens of tons of platinum group precious metals, enough to support the amount of gold used by a large jewelry chain group, if not enough, it is good to say, let's move another mine?

As for the diamond mine, although Tang Feng didn't consider that thing, if he really wanted to get it, it would not be a difficult matter, and he would take the time to go to Africa, find a country with a relatively stable political situation, and buy a piece of land to develop it directly. Someone else has to find a diamond mine, do we still need to find that thing?

Now the things that are a little more difficult are such as jadeite, ruby sapphire and Hetian jade.

Hetian Yu Tang Feng is not going to think about it. That thing is almost extinct now, and even if there is a star core, I am afraid that it will not be able to make a vein. Because the formation of Hetian seed jade is not formed by geological movement, but by the combined action of time and water flow, so the treasure of Hetian seed jade may not be able to be condensed with a star core. But if you want to build a mountain mine. There is still no problem with the star core.

The situation is similar for jadeite and Hetian seed jade.

The reason why the old pit jadeite is far better than the jadeite in Xinchangkou is actually very simple, most of the old pit jadeite are secondary veins of jadeite deposits, and the primary jadeite deposits, because of the lack of impact and weathering of water flow, so the quality of jadeite produced is far lower than that of secondary veins.

Just like those famous old farms in Myanmar, such as Hpakant and Damakam, all of them are located in the alluvial plains of the Wulu River. The water of the Wulu River washes the jadeite rough from the primary veins from the upstream to the downstream, and then deposits it, where it is washed and weathered over millions or even tens of millions of years. This is how this secondary vein is formed.

This kind of jadeite from the old pit is actually equivalent to Hetian seed jade, because the formation process between the two is very similar. The top-level Laokeng jadeite comes from this kind of secondary vein, and the top-grade Hetian seed jade also belongs to the secondary vein.

Moreover, Hetian seed jade and Laokeng jade not only have a very striking similarity in the formation process, but also the conditions for the formation of secondary ore veins are the same.

All the jadeite in Laokeng is distributed on both sides of the Wulu River, because the secondary veins of jadeite here rely on the Wulu River to impact down from the primary jadeite ore in the upper reaches. Jadeite primary ore is not only found in Myanmar, but also in Russia and Guatemala. Even in Japan, there are primary jadeite minerals. But only Myanmar can produce gem-quality jadeite. The reason for this lies in the unique geographical location of the Wulu River.

The upstream section of the Wulu River is the production area of the jadeite primary mine, so the jadeite primary ore will be brought down from the upstream by the turbulent Wulu River, after dozens of kilometers, when the Wulu River slows down due to the terrain becoming gentle, the jadeite primary ore that has been impacted down will be deposited in this gentle area, year after year. After millions of years and tens of millions of years, a large alluvial plain composed of gravel rock layers more than 300 meters thick was formed in the vicinity of Hpakant, thus forming the world-famous gem-quality jadeite secondary veins.

The same conditions for the formation of Laokeng jadeite, the same is true for Hetian seed jade, and the turbulent Yulong River brings mountain material from the Kunlun Mountains upstream to Hotan dozens of kilometers away. The terrain here is flat, and the flow of water slows down, so the jade material that was hit down by the river from the Kunlun Mountains was deposited here, and after countless years of water erosion and weathering, the world-famous Hetian seed jade was finally formed.

From the formation process of Hetian seed jade and Laokeng jadeite, we can summarize an obvious law, that is, first of all, there must be the existence of primary ore deposits, and secondly, there must be a river with a large enough height difference in the location of the primary ore deposit, so that the ore of the primary ore deposit will be carried away by the water flow of the river. The last one is that the length of the river can be very long, but in the area formed by the first impact plain, the distance from the primary deposit should not be too far, and tens of kilometers are the most suitable.

As long as these three conditions can be met, then it is not difficult to find out the origin of Laokeng jadeite field or Hetian seed jade.

However, it is definitely not an easy task to meet all three conditions. Just like Hetian jade, there are mountain material veins in Kunlun Mountain, but because there is only one Yulong River, the output of Hetian seed jade is so small.

The same is true of jadeite, there are a lot of jadeite ores in Myanmar, but the Wulu River is just that, so Laokeng jadeite, like Hetian seed jade, has now become a rarity!

Compared with Hetian jade, there is no seed material, and the mountain material is also very good. But not jadeite.

The jadeite of the old pit, that is, the jadeite rough formed by the secondary veins of the jadeite, the quality of the jadeite in it is much higher than that of the original vein, which is why the wool price of the old pit is several times, dozens of times or even hundreds of times that of the wool of the new field.

The same are jadeite, Xinchangkou is the wool produced by the original deposit, most of the jadeite that is solved in it can not be on the table, the value is very low, and the wool of the old pit species can often solve the sky-high price of the best jadeite. That's the gap.

Therefore, if you want to find a new field, and it is a field that can produce the best jadeite, a suitable river that meets various conditions is an indispensable search condition! (To be continued......)
