Chapter 299 Big Mac

In this warehouse that stores more than 6,000 jadeite stones, except for the more than 30 glass jadeite stones, the rest are almost all ice jadeite stones and high ice jadeite stones. Even ice glutinous jadeite is rare.

The entire warehouse is filled with ice jadeite, which can definitely be regarded as high-end jadeite in the future!

The third warehouse is not bad either, with more than 20 pieces of glass jadeite rough stones, more than 5,000 pieces of ice and high ice jadeite rough stones, and more than 1,000 pieces of ice waxy jadeite...

After visiting three warehouses in a row, Yang Jing didn't find a single piece of glutinous jade.

In this era, glutinous jade can only be considered as low-end mid-range, unlike thirty years later when even glutinous jade is considered mid-to-high-end jade.

Among the jadeite raw stones unearthed from the new field, most are ice and high ice, so the glutinous jadeite is naturally not taken seriously by those stone selection masters.

Of course, this does not mean that the field does not pick out the glutinous jade. It is just that the glutinous jade is not qualified to be placed in the above three warehouses.

In the following warehouses, the amount of glutinous jade and jade of lower varieties began to increase, and the size of the raw stones also gradually increased.

According to normal rules, the better the quality of jade, the less likely it is to have large pieces. On the other hand, jade with poor quality often has large pieces.

Just like in the last two warehouses, all Yang Jing saw were piles of large materials, most of which were large pieces weighing dozens or even hundreds of kilograms.

Of course, the larger "giant" sized raw stones would not be put into the warehouse. Outside the last two warehouses, Yang Jing saw more than 20 pieces of these "giant" stones weighing more than one ton, the largest of which weighed more than ten tons. In addition, there were also many large pieces weighing seven or eight tons, five or six tons.

These giants are all placed outside the warehouse. With such a large size, even if you let a thief steal them without any machinery, he can't steal them. This thing is more worrying than the ancient Chinese silver ingots that "scare ghosts"...

The jade mining area in northern Myanmar did not look like this before it was developed. Many people thought that the raw jade was dug out from the river and the banks of the river. In fact, this idea is a bit misunderstood.

The earliest jade mining area in Myanmar is Lao Hpakant. Before the Lao Hpakant mine appeared in the 13th and 14th centuries, it was just a small village. The Wulu River meandered among the mountains. There is almost no flat land here, except for the river valley and the mountains.

Then jade was discovered here, so people started digging near Lao Phakant. As they dug, they found that there were more jadeite stones in the mountains than in the valley. So people started digging in the mountains......

Don’t be fooled by the large pits everywhere in the old Pa-Kan mine. Actually, these large pits were all mountain bodies before! These large pits appeared after the mountain body was dug out and the mining continued.

The jadeite stones in the Wulu River are all washed down from the mountains upstream. Their properties are the same as those of Hetian jade, and they are all carried down from the mountains upstream by the river.

After nearly 700 years of excavation, the Lao Phakant mine has been dug into this state. The Xiangdong mining area to the west of Lao Phakant was also dug out of the mountain. The Damukan mining area and Houjiang mining area further west, as well as the Leida mining area further north and the Huika mining area to the south were all dug out of the mountain.

In the process of digging the mountain, large stones often appear. After being identified by the stone selection master, qualified stones will be kept, and unqualified ones will be thrown aside. The remaining "giants" weighing several tons or even more than ten tons are the big ones that Yang Jing sees now.

Especially when "excavators" are widely used in later generations, such large pieces will appear more and more. In 2016, Laopagan once dug out a large piece weighing 210 tons, which was larger than two houses...

In this era, a rough stone weighing more than ten tons is already the limit. If it is larger, even an elephant cannot pull it out. Moreover, in this era, when dealing with such a large rough stone, it is usually directly chiseled open. If there is something inside, it will naturally be kept, but it is just a window material. If there is nothing inside, it will be thrown away directly.

These big ones have not been chiseled open yet. It is really spectacular to see so many of them placed together.

Yang Jing used his identification skills on the largest piece, and finally shook his head slightly. This big thing does have material, and a lot of it, as much as five or six tons of jade meat. It's a pity that the jade inside is just a very low-grade bean variety...

Yang Jing appraised these big ones one by one, but the results were disappointing. The best one was just a fine white base, which made Yang Jing a little disappointed.

It seems that the kind of adventure in novels where the protagonist sees a jadeite rough stone weighing several tons and finds a huge amount of ice, high ice and even glass jade in it is not suitable for me after all...
