" Luneng Group collected a super-sized crystal Guanyin this year, which is 1.2 meters high and weighs 360 kilograms. Guangxi requested to make a two-meter-tall big jade Buddha. Recently, they found 38 tons of big jade material in Myanmar, but it could not be transported out due to the poor land bridge conditions in Myanmar. A company in Beijing wanted to make a two-meter-high and one-meter-wide jade Guan Yu statue. Someone asked me for white jade material to make eighteen arhats. Next year is the Year of Ox, and some friends requested to make some yellow ox as gifts, which shows there is a strong demand in the jade market." Lu Kehua, deputy director of the Authentication and Evaluation Committee of the China Collectors Association, briefly gave a few examples of jade consumption at the seminar of the China International Gemstone and Jade Rough Expo the other day.
