Authentic Burmese Poi Sang Long For those who cannot distinguish jade, buying jade as a souvenir can be very difficult. I used the method of purchasing at Mandalay Airport on my return flight to Thailand. I thought that shops in the airport would have passed government inspection and certification, and prices would not be excessively marked up since each piece has a price tag. When I was shopping, I saw a tourist buying a jade statue of Guanyin priced at 15,000 baht. To me, that was expensive but very beautiful. Feel free to try my technique.
Jade is a green gemstone often used to make objects or decorative jewelry. Jade is a natural green marble. In ancient times, it was used to make jewelry for a long time. The oldest jade artifacts found are prehistoric fossils, simple jewelry in the form of beads and buttons. Additionally, jade was used for axes, knives, and weapons. Jade has two types. The first type is hard jade (jadeitite) with a hardness of 6.5-7.
The second type is soft jade (Nephrite) with a hardness of 5.5-6. Emerald green jade is considered the most valuable both historically and today. Currently, Myanmar and Guatemala are two major sources of hard jade, while Canada is the main producer of soft jade. mr.hotsia August 2013 Book hotels in Mandalay Now Jade shops at Mandalay Airport
