Few localities in the world of gems are as singular as the Jadeite mines of Hpakan, Upper Burma (now Myanmar). For starters, there is sheer geography. Burma’s Kyaukseinmyo (literally ‘Jade Land’) is located about 420 aerial km north of Mandalay, amidst some of the most inaccessible jungle on the planet.
Due to monsoon rains, they are essentially cut off from the rest of the world for several months out of the year. But most important, this area is the primary source of a precious stone which sends nearly a quarter of the globe’s population into spasms of ecstasy.
Although Jadeite deposits are found throughout the world (Guatemala, Japan, Russia, and California), Burma remains the primary source of top-grade material. The Hpakan Jadeite region is one of the wildest, least-developed areas of the country.
