Collectable Xinjiang Hetian jade seed material
Scarcity， Uniqueness， Non-renewable， Incremental
Because of the seed material is scarcity， expensive and non-renewable， which is resource depletion. Since the 90’s， the state allows Qinghai’s material and Russian’s materials to enter the market， identified collectively as “Hetian Nephrite”.
Therefore， the current nephrite market 99.9% for the Russian material （Russian produced nephrite）， Qinghai material （Qinghai produced nephrite）. Among them， there are a large number of Russian materials posing as the seed material of imitation goods.
Suet nephrite is the best in seed material， which is delicate oily such as the fat， the color is partial warm white. In the later period， because Russian material and Qinghai material entered the market in large numbers， the characteristics of them are simply white， so the merchants began to change concepts that white is the best. In fact， this was wrong. Russian material and Qinghai material are very white， but the quality is poor and the stone is heavy. The Russian material is stiff and dull. These two kinds of jade are good for ornaments but not good for wearing. After a period of contact with human sweat， their appearance will be changed and no longer look nice， also their value will be reduced. However， seed material is good for wearing and playing by hand. After a period with human body， it will be more and more oily and delicate. This type of jade will increase in value. Russia material and Qinghai material are large in quantity and not rare. The value will decline with the increase of time， so it is not good for investment.
But seed material is scarce， and the state has issued the “Forbidden Excavation Order”. Their value will increase with the passage of time and it’s the perfect type of jade of investment.
