Taiwan as a treasure island in China. It is located on the continental shelf on the southeast coast of Chinese mainland, bordering the Pacific Ocean to the east, the Bashi Strait to the south, and the Philippine Islands across the sea.

It includes 21 affiliated islands such as Taiwan Island and Lanyu Island, Green Island and Diaoyu Island, and 64 islands in the Penghu Archipelago. Among them, the area of Taiwan Island is 35,798 square kilometers. From the above description or map can be seen, Taiwan is an island surrounded by the sea on all sides, wet all year round, abundant rainfall, and because Taiwan Island is located, between the Eurasian plate, the Philippine plate, due to the squeeze, the island formed by the uplift, so Taiwan Island has the conditions for the formation of coral jade, Taiwan Island is in the seismic belt, before it was the seabed, due to squeezing, the seabed is lifted, then the coral here may become coral jade. There are also many volcanoes due to the movement of the earth's crust, so there are necessary conditions for silicification. So good quality corals are ready. But with the Taiwan authorities began to impose restrictions on coral jade mining.

Indonesian coral jade, and Taiwan's geological formation conditions are similar, but also the movement of the earth's crust, so that the ancient seabed coral can be lifted above sea level, there is a volcanic eruption, where there is coral jade, there are volcanoes nearby, because volcanoes can produce high temperature, high pressure, instantly can wrap up coral, so as to complete the coral material replacement process. This is one of the most important processes of coral jade formation.

Unlike jade fossils on land, coral jade formed in the sea has a fuller head and is more lustrous. What is even more valuable is that coral jade also shows different colors according to the different colors and varieties of the original coral, and the size and density of the "flowers" seen on its surface are not the same, making each piece of coral jade unique and extremely collectible.
