Recently, the six famous jade types of our country have suddenly increased in value due to being selected as candidates for the national stone. Various producing areas have successively claimed on local media that the jade within their province is the most competitive. However, who will ultimately be crowned the national stone? What can the nearly 6-year-long national stone debate bring to China's jade culture and jade economy?
The other day, the Gemstone Association of China revealed that the long-awaited "national stone" of the Chinese people will soon be announced. The exhibition in Beijing of the six candidate national stones - Xiuyan jade, Hetian jade, Shoushan stone, Balin stone, Chicken Blood stone, and Qingtian stone - has already concluded. The staff of the Gemstone Association of China are about to begin organizing the data of the selected stones, preparing to complete the final evaluation, and then report to the State Council and the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress for approval.
