Best Jade for Sale - Ying Yu Jade Genuine and Natural Chinese Jade and Burmese Jadeite

 Ying Yu Jade "introduced" jade to USA 23 years ago.  I went to China with my taiji and qigong master and group to learn about Chinese medicine, and tour Beijing.  I had the opportunity to tour a Chinese medicine hospital and was amazed at the Chinese jade medicine tools that were used for healing.  I immediately felt the "Qi Energy" in the jade and purchased some to take home.  My second trip to Beijing was two months later, and because I loved the qi in the jade health tools, jade rollers, jade gua sha tools, I also want a jade bangle bracelet.  Near the hotel I stayed at was a jade bangle bracelet store where people were always buying jade: for gifts, men purchased for marital engagements, and I bought a bangle for me!  I thought the jade was so beautiful and helpful, I decided to find a jade seller in China, and go to China again.  I went to Beijing, and did taiji along with the Chinese solders in Tiananmen Square in the morning, and took a train to Dandong, in north east China.  A government official met me at the train station and took me to Xiuyan where the Chinese jade mines were, and then to a jade carver who made jade health tools, jade bangles, pendants and more for me to sell online.  That's when Ying Yu Jade started.

I returned to China every summer to meet with my Chinese medicine doctor and jade carver, then traveled all over China, to Guangzhou where I discovered and learned about Burmese jadeite.  I met an official of the Chinese Jade Association, who also had a wonderful jade shop.  He took me to the south of China, near the Burma (Myanmar) border where Burmese jadeite was taken to be carved and sold.  And I learned about testing Burmese jadeite to learn of it is genuine and natural, not color treated.  I purchase many jadeite bangles, and testing tools I learned how to use.

So Ying Yu Jade has been selling genuine and natural Chinese jade and Burmese jadeite for many years.  When I started  selling, it was on eBay and sold out quickly because there was only one other seller, in Hawaii, that sold jade to USA.  Then I designed my own web site stores.


Now many people are selling jade online.  

In 2008 there were political problem in Myanmar (Burma) and the USA forbid any jadeite to enter USA.  But of course people still sold to USA people online.  But because of the political problems in Myanmar, there was jadeite mine damage, and that wonderful "old mine" jadeite became very rare.  The jadeite available wasn't as colorful and pretty as it was before, so it started getting color treated, making it Grade B.  So a lot of "fake jade" started being sold as "real jade".  Then Certificates of Gemology Testing started becoming available.  And some of those are "fake" now, too.








Jade sellers in China overwhelmed me trying to sell jade to me when I didn't go to China.  But I told them I buy only genuine and natural, and their jade was not genuine and natural.  These "fake jade" sellers started leaving negative comments about Ying Yu Jade because I was telling the truth about jade and they didn't want to "suffer".  

Even now Ying Yu Jade gets negative reviews that are not true.  If a customer is not happy with the jade they purchase from YYJ, I do my best to help them find what they are looking for.  I  often offer store credit to make exchanges, and sometimes give extra discounts, because I want customers to be happy with their purchase and customer service.  I am so happy with my jade and I want other people to be happy with it, too.  

And I use my jade testing tools, refraction, to test the Burmese jadeite.  My Chinese jade carver in China still uses the genuine, natural Chinese jade he buys from the jade mines.
