The origin of turquoise in China! What are the differences in the ingredients of each origin? Learn what is the difference between the turquoise in the following four places and what are the characteristics of turquoise in each mining area!
1. Qin Ancient Town
The turquoise mineral reserves in Qingu Town are the largest and rich in color, from green to all kinds of blue, and the quality of green and blue is better! Because the price of Qin ancient materials is relatively lower than that of Yungai Temple and Yajiao Mountain, some people rank second to say that the quality of Yungai blue and Qin ancient blue overflow blue, and at the same time, the porcelain, color and density of Qin ancient materials are not inferior to the gradually extinct cloud cover materials, so there is great potential to occupy the position of big brother in the field of turquoise!
2. Yajiao Mountain
The famous Yajiao Mountain material, the former turquoise world is still the turquoise of Yungai Temple, but with the closure of Yungai Temple, the old materials of Yungai Temple on the market are decreasing day by day, but people's demand is increasing, at this time, Yajiao Mountain has quickly become the new favorite of the turquoise world with top-notch quality.
3. Dongzigou
"Yishui Blue" describes the turquoise of Dongzigou in Yishui Town, and the turquoise stone of Dongzigou is also famous for its blue material, and its blue has a very tender and clear feeling, as if it is going to flow out, giving people a feeling of falling in love at first sight.
4. Yungai Temple
"The turquoise of Yungai Temple was the first to be mined, and it was once the big brother in the field of turquoise! However, since the late 80s of the last century, the mine resources have become increasingly scarce, and the main ore-bearing layers in the east and central parts of the mining area have been basically mined above the elevation of 730 meters.
In the 90s of the last century, the western ore-bearing layer in the mining area was basically mined above the elevation of 730 meters, and since then, the Yungaisi mining area has been dominated by mining sporadic ore bodies and recovered ores in the roadway; Now the turquoise mining of Yungai Temple is basically stagnant, and its share of the turquoise market is getting smaller and smaller.
Turquoise is an international gemstone, there are many origins, not only turquoise produced in China, many countries around the world have turquoise, but there are not many good quality. The turquoise in the above four places belongs to the national first-class turquoise ranks, but the turquoise mining resources are limited, and the beauty of turquoise must be cherished!
