It was an incident that happened in the jadeite mining area of Hpakant in northern Myanmar.

The price of jadeite in Myanmar is much cheaper than in China, mainly because of the large number of local rough mining areas, just like many nouveau riche in Shanxi Province who make a fortune from coal is a truth.

Decency is an adjective reserved for the wealthy, but miners in close proximity to the rough quarries face extremely dangerous underground conditions, and every once in a while, miners are buried in rocks due to the unstable rock structure and the collapse of the inside of the mine.

The ore industry has a very fine classification of work, which operates in an assembly line and has a specialization, for example, gambling stone merchants and merchants who process jadeite and polish are two completely unrelated industries. The gambling stone expert in front of me was just a manual laborer who didn't even cross the threshold of the industry back then, and later became an expert in stone viewing and treasure appreciation.

I listened with great interest and urged the balding experts to hurry up and talk about the incident that happened in the Hpakant mine that shook the whole industry.

One day in the fifties of the twentieth century, Chen Yaohua, a gambling stone expert, was working underground in Hpakant, northern Myanmar, when suddenly, a huge scream came from the depths of the dark mine, and the echo in the underground cavity was loud.

After walking around and walking through several particularly bumpy areas, the light of countless mining lamps converged and illuminated a whole rock wall, and the eye-catching blood red jumped out of the gray-black stone into everyone's eyes.

This is a jade vein that extends for tens of meters, but the color is different from the usual jadeite, this jade is red all over, and the color is biased towards chicken blood jade, but at first glance, there are no filamentous cracks and mottled variegated colors in the usual chicken blood jade on the market.

"Red stone, I can be regarded as an eye-opener today." Yan Er, a bloated worker standing next to Chen Yaohua, smiled and stretched out his fat pig hand to rub the jade embedded in the rock wall, his eyes blinked, and he seemed to have something crooked in his mind.

Everyone was stunned, the miner's lamp in their hands was flickering and flickering, and the bright red light from the jade vein shrouded everyone's faces, adding a touch of mysterious evil aura to these ordinary faces.

Chen Yaohua shuddered, and found that the temperature in the depths of the mine was not quite right, he stretched out his arm to grab Yan Er, and asked him to go back with him, otherwise he would be in a low temperature environment all the time, and it would be easy to fall into a state of shock. Yan Er's family is poor, and he finally saw the shocking treasure, of course he didn't want to give up his efforts, so he turned back now.

The miners looked at each other in the blood-red light and shadow, and Chen Yaohua suddenly realized that these people all had the idea of swallowing the jade vein alone, and the people's hearts were not enough to swallow the elephant, after all, the inside of the mine was extended in all directions, and the people in charge above did not know the location of this jade vein. Chen Yaohua gritted his teeth, turned his head to look at everyone's dumbfounded looks, he left Yan Er, who was obsessed with Hongfei, picked up his equipment, and decided to return along the same path alone.
