Hetian jade market survey: Price rises more than a thousand times in 30 years

In the past few years, Hetian jade has gone all the way up and has risen more than a thousand times. It has been called “crazy stone” by people. Why is Hetian jade so hot? See the reporter's interview in Xinjiang.

Mr. Pan from Jiangsu is a jade enthusiast. He recently went to Xinjiang and wanted to buy a better Hetian jade bracelet. He did not expect the price to exceed his imagination.

Jade fan Mr. Pan: He has such a bracelet more than ten thousand you say you will buy it? I will not buy it either. High-end stuff can't afford it. Just to buy a small pendant for children to play can, you call me more than a hundred thousand to buy a bracelet I will not buy.

Mr. Wu, who has been doing jade business for more than ten years in Xinjiang, also has a deep feeling for the price of Hetian jade's “buy up”.

Jade dealer Wu Yuanyuan: More than ten years ago, such a pile of tens of dollars could be bought, or one or two hundred dollars could be purchased, twelve years ago. What now? A price of 300,000 to 400,000 you can buy a seed (material), is also in the original place of this price.

It is understood that Hetian jade is divided into mountains and seed materials. Mountain material refers to jade that has been mined in the original ore bed. Seed material refers to the jade that was formed after millstones have been washed into the river bed after thousands of years of grinding. Compare "Favored" boutique.

In an interview, the reporter learned that in the 1950s and 1960s, an egg could exchange 200 grams of Hetian jade seed; in 1980, hetian jade seeds were sold for 80 yuan per kilogram; after 10 years, the price per kg rose. 1500-2000 yuan; after 2005, the price of Hetian jade white jade seed has reached more than 100,000 yuan per kilogram; in 2006 it rose to 500,000-1 million yuan per kilogram. Today, good Hetian jade seeds are sold for "g" calculations. At present, in Xinjiang, the 200 g or less collection grade special grade Hetian jade seed has reached 20,000-30,000 yuan per gram in the market, which is more than a thousand times higher than it was 30 years ago. It is precisely because this higher and higher prices, so that the market has appeared a "good jade reluctant seller" phenomenon.

Jade merchant Wu Yuanyuan: (Now) If I say this material I'm selling a very profitable price, this material is sold for 200,000, 300,000, but I can't buy it back with 200,000 or 300,000 yuan. seed.

It is precisely because of this "reluctant to sell" mentality, fewer and fewer fine-quality Hetian jades are circulated in the market, and the counters are also marked by astronomical prices that range from more than 100,000 to hundreds of thousands and millions. In June of last year, a 42-gram piece of Hotan jade fat jade seed material, “sprinkle gold skin”, produced an astronomical price of 700,000 yuan in Xinjiang, causing quite a stir.

Ma Guoqin, chairman of Xinjiang Hetian jade market information alliance trading center: Everyone thinks it is unbelievable. After entering 2011 in 2012, there are 1.2 million people in the second year to repurchase it. By this year, no one has left and he (the owner) has not sold it.
