Since the Neolithic era, there are many turquoise products in the cultural relics of the future, which is a traditional jade with a long history and rich resources. According to expert research and inference, the famous Heshi Bi in China's previous history is made of turquoise.

Nowadays, porcelain pine has been easily sold for thousands of grams. As far as the turquoise market is concerned, as the mine drys up, the top turquoise is becoming more and more difficult to find. However, because turquoise is different from other jade, its name ends with "stone", which always makes people feel that it is not "jade", and people who have just entered the gem world and the literary and play circles also think that the price of turquoise in recent years has soared too much by merchants. That can only be said, you don't understand turquoise, maybe it really doesn't look so much like "jade", but it is definitely a piece of "treasure"!
