Giant Turquoise will debut in Ma'anshan

As one of the top ten gems in the world, many people may not know that Ma On Shan is one of its three major producing areas. At the 2013 Maanshan Mingyou Special Products (Hefei) Exhibition and Exhibition held on the 18th, a green pine rock weighing 448 pounds will be exhibited. It is reported that this is the heaviest green pine stone currently exhibited in China. In addition, the only turquoise museum in the country will be completed and opened at the end of this year.

Ma On Shan Turquoise is a Maanshan special product, also known as Turkish Jade. It is a water-containing copper-aluminum-phosphate mineral. The name of the process is turquoise, and it is one of the oldest jades. It is said that the rare treasures and shiki are carved and made of turquoise.

Ma On Shan not only has steel, but also a strange stone: turquoise. The turquoise known as the "Oriental Emerald" enjoys a good reputation both at home and abroad. However, in Maanshan, one of the world's three largest turquoise producing regions, the turquoise light has just emerged. Until the disconnection of the origin, craftsmanship, and market breaks, Steel Capital may add a new title to the Emerald Capital.

Turquoise Prices Rise 10 Times in 5 Years Turquoise has a history of several thousand years. Due to its blue characteristics, it is thought that the colors God has brought to heaven are hidden in the human world, bringing happiness and well-being to mankind. The international jewellery industry listed Turquoise as the birthstone of December, representing "success" and "victory." Perhaps because of Turquoise's extraordinary meaning, it has made it prosperous in the international market and prices have turned several times in succession over several years.

"Ordinary turquoise jewellery, the price of thousands of yuan, can only be considered medium quality. The quality of the turquoise stone is no longer measurable with the price." Asked the rise in turquoise prices, Li Dahe, who runs turquoise, laughs. In just five years, the price of slightly inferior turquoise rose by three or four times, while the market's average turquoise rose by almost 10 times. There is no process in the place of production, and the market is in the international jewelry market. Ma On Shan Turquoise is called “Ma On Shan Song”. It can be seen that the turquoise rock in Maanshan is already influential. However, turquoise does not have much luster in hometown, and the disconnect between craft and market may be the main reason.

“For a long time, turquoise was produced in Ma’anshan and processed in Shenzhen, and the market was overseas.” Li Daohe was one of the earliest businessmen to operate turquoise in Ma'anshan. In the early 1980s, Ma’anshan discovered a rich turquoise deposit. In the mid-1990s, only a businessman operating turquoise was found in Maanshan. Li Daohe was one of them. In 1996, he began to contact the Turquoise, and then he took turquoise to Shenzhen until he found a name in the industry.

Steel is to be carved "emerald"

Now, when we talk about Ma'anshan, we can't help but think of the “steel capital”. In the future, we should also think of turquoise. Carefully sculpting the “Oriental Emerald” to make it a city card along with the “steel capital”, Maanshan really took a lot of effort.
