"Hello everyone, this is "Ha Xuan Jade",
Focus on jadeite customization, willing to appreciate with you. ”
The momentum of dangerous material jadeite in recent years can be described as very rapid, occupying part of the market of Myanmar materials, and there is a faint trend of competing with Myanmar materials!
However, most of the Cuiyou do not have a deep understanding of dangerous materials, and basically only stay at the stage of "dangerous materials are also jadeite".
Therefore, few people know that dangerous materials were once a favorite of the Mayans and were highly respected! So today I will break the glorious history of dangerous materials with you.
The full name of the dangerous material is Guatemalan jade, which is named after Guatemala produced in Central America.
Pull back in time to 1300 BC, when Central America was not yet under Spanish rule and had a highly developed civilization.
From 1300 BC to the 16th century, Mesoamerican culture went through three periods: Olmic, Maya, and Aztec.
Guatemalan jadeite was discovered and used as early as the Olmic civilization.
At that time, the indigenous Indians would make human face statues out of local jadeite, which looked a bit similar to the Sanxingdui artifacts unearthed in China.
Then, during the period of Mayan civilization, the development of Guatemalan jadeite reached its peak!
The Maya believed that the hardened material was their medium of communication with the sun god, so it became an indispensable sacrifice in religious rituals.
And those well-made dangerous jadeite jewelry can only be enjoyed by those of high status.
After the Maya died, they also chose to bury a large amount of jadeite.
In the tomb of the Mayan Red Queen, the staff found funeral masks made of jadeite, malachite, obsidian, shells, etc., which were very exquisite.
In addition, we can also admire a large number of dangerous materials in the Mayan style in the museum!
It can also be seen that the Mayans are "crazy" about dangerous jadeite.
Unfortunately, the good times did not last long, and by the time of the Aztec civilization, people's belief in the dangerous jadeite began to decline from prosperity.
At that time, in order to occupy Central America, Spain was even more desperate to bring the plague! Led to the death of a large number of indigenous people!
Civilization has lost its successor and can only go into decline in the end.
The mining and use of dangerous jadeite also disappeared with the decline of civilization.
It wasn't until 1975 that an archaeologist couple discovered the primary ore of dangerous jadeite deep in the Motagua River bed in Guatemala.
So that the dangerous jadeite that has disappeared for nearly a hundred years has returned to the eyes of the world!
However, the treatment of returning to the "human world" this time is obviously not as good as in the Mayan period.
Because of the outstanding predecessor of Burmese materials, dangerous materials are often brought out for comparison.
What's more, some black-hearted merchants sell dangerous materials under the banner of "Myanmar materials", earning huge price differences from them, and indirectly stinking the reputation of dangerous materials.
As a Burmese material merchant, Ha Xuan can objectively say that the dangerous material itself is a jade with low price and wearing value.
It is a good choice for those with a lower budget.
But for jadeite friends who want to buy collectible jadeite, they should be wary of buying those materials that "fill Myanmar with danger".
After all, dangerous materials are not only very different from Myanmar materials in quality, but also incomparable in international recognition.
At least so far, the potential of collecting dangerous materials is not as good as that of Burmese materials.
Most of the Cuiyou who have truly felt the beauty of Burmese materials are not backward compatible with dangerous materials.
Again, the existence of dangerous materials is not original sin! What is truly sinister is the human heart.
Whether it is dangerous materials or Burmese materials, you should give the choice to Cuiyou, not benefit from it!
The phrase "do not fill Myanmar with danger" should be engraved in the heart of every Myanmar material merchant!
Follow me and focus on sharing jadeite dry goods every day!
