The Khotan Mines
hetian_mines_01Khotan has been the source of Hetian jade since the beginning of time. This precious white stone is the most highly prized of all jade, valued higher than either gold or silver by many. Jade is mined both directly out of the mountain and picked directly from open pits and riverbeds.
