Incredible access we get to be with you on this journey into Jade and the many complexities and surprises of this esoteric stone. Thank you Federico for taking us with you!
Just discovered your awesome channel #instantSubscribed I would love to own some of those super green translucent giants🤑💎🙏🙏 Thank you for share this auction👍👍
Thank you so much for this informative and delicious tour of the World of JADE. I will be keeping my eyes open to seek JADE out on my Vancouver Island BC CANADA. I love your accent, it is very lyrical ~ Many Blessings to you and ALL your Relations, good Sir ! oh yes I subscribed to your channel today and I am looking forward to 'walking your walk' with you ! Cheers!
Loved every minute of this video - got a gem education. I was very partial to the Italian accent. This voice reminds me of the Italian reporter whose voice is very similar, I think his name is Leo Zagami, who guests on Alex Jones Show and comments on Vatican news.
Awesome video sir! It's a great insight into the jade industry. I was shocked at the end of the video by the jade boulders, and especially the price of them. I would love to go to Myanmar some day to go rough shopping, but for now I will stick with Tucson which is just a short distance away (comparatively). Keep the videos coming!
Incredibly gorgeous rocks. I would loooove to have one large piece of those pale blue ones. They must radiate out such tremendously loving and protective energy.
It's like viewing an old photo or a view that were embedded within the rock, from very long time ago before our time and yet many more to come. Vix perspicacity
Beautiful Convention Hall. Security is nothing compared to U.S there would be 3 NSA 3 HLS 3 NY State troopers and 3 NYC police (Total 12)at every corner w/ M-16 AR15.( I'm sure you know) It is my understanding that South China is partial to white jade North China likes green Jade. Thank You for sharing this with us.
You clearly don't understand what is going on there, everybody on that video owns a gun, including the one filming it , A person trying to steal anything wouldn't go away or get arrested and thrown to jail. He would have his head blown off no questions asked , This is Myanmar Dadrules , they don't need security , they make their own . I am not joking , if you even try to steal something you will end up at the ER at best . Don't underestimate Asia , especially that part of Asia . This market is half run by the mafia , they don't need the police .
There is NICE jade on the coast of California but few realize it is there! Some walk the coast for it and others dive for it, just like Abalone you can come across nice jade stones right in front of you! I met a gentleman who searches for and finishes it to sell, he keeps it to himself pretty much, and makes a lot of money from it!
I have a pretty ring with different colours of Jade: or that is what I was told it was! I'm thinking perhaps the colours other than green may have been chemically altered? How many different colours do you think there are? Thank for showing this, it's hard to comprehend the amount of money people will pay.
It's interesting to see exactly how much some people will pay for a green rock.....but even more interesting to see what can be done with jade when it's not made into identical cheap bangles. I would have liked to see more finished jade carvings.
The Count from Sesame Street is guiding us through out the event...one piece of Jade, two pieces of Jade, three pieces of Jade, four pieces of Jade, five pieces of Jade, six pieces of Jade. Hahn Ah, Ah, Ah, Ah, Ah. Beautiful jade though.
Hello, you are very kind in replying to me, but I am not related to gem trading. I only like to know about rocks and crystals, and I found the channel of Federico Barlocher very interesting, as a way of knowing, behind the scenes, this interesting aspect of the world of gems. Best regards from Chile
what was the difference with the low quality jadeite pieces? they looked just the same.. were all of them grade a jadeites or were the cheaper ones dyed/altered?
a friend of mine from art college dated the daughter of the chinese minister for arts and culture. she owned a simple white jade bracelet that was worth the price of a three bedroomed house..
It's too stupid .no need spent to much money buy jade.thats are fooling people .around the world You can get less expensive jade .just don't listen that chinese propaganda. They want just make money from people not understand about jade.
i have a piece of bc jade of 180g that i can get quite a glow when i shine a flashlight on, its not polished. i keep wondering how much could i get for it.
I understand some of the prices for some pieces are valid, but it looks like to me that some of the "reserve" prices are a bit high and either the stones went unsold or the reserve price was just the starting point before going down in price. The 6 million usd stone with cracks was not particularly translucent to be 6 million plus it had cracks. I'd like to know what the final sale price of that was.
The most expensive Natural Colored Stone if you could ever find of any size would be Silicon Carbide (SiC). Not to be confused with silicone. 😄 That would be the polymer used for Breast enlargements. And the reason I put emphasis on Natural is because with present technology nearly any stone's color can be Changed or Altered. Either by radiation or Heat or both. Believe me I Wholesaled gem stones as one of many things to study biological sciences. Later Partly formally & mostly Self education I chose to become fish Pathologist. I can still buy Jade of highest grade from China already cut (Cab - Cut). Jade is rarely if ever faceted. Please know that I'm not calling you a liar. But rather presenting a fact. I'm sure happy to not keep Valuable Stones aroaround.Too many thieves around, even in those days I hated the thought of using Martial arts or firearms to defend myself or the darned stone that really belonged to a company or another person. Not many people want to steal my simple diagnostic instruments and the lab Space can be rented. So they can worry about expensive microscopes, incubators, growing media, etc. And I don't keep antibiotics and other substances at home!!!!! As for truly expensive stones, I'd consider Sapphires, Rubies, Emeralds as the most beautiful and Valuable if they are not man made or enhanced by irritation and heat.I must say that THE MOST BEAUTIFUL EMERALDS ARE made by the Chatum Company! !Best regardsExcuse the any mistakes. It is now 9:36a.m.. I still can't Sleep from my Unbearable Painfrom Lyme disease!!! I got that because searching for more and more secret spots to fish for Salmon and Steelhead. Or trying to calling "Monster" bull Elk (kind of dear that can be as big as a horse!!). I don't Call them by any electronic device. Just with a piece of Latex in my mouth. For many takes a long time to learn.A Mexican friend of mine who was really smart couldn't do it even after 6 years. After that I didn't do any archery hunting with him. I noticed one you fine viewers mentioned a name of something natural that allegedly relieves Pain. Please tell me more about it I read that growing is legal! Thank you
The key though Is to get a nice hole through it big enough for a titanium chain to wear!!You might need assistance wearing the piece,but everyone else with a jade pendant..Eat Your Heart Out!!! Ahahahaha 😂
I imagine there are similar wholesale diamond auctions somewhere in S Africa where, if they allowed you to film the process, would no doubt ruin your whole impression of them.
