Myanmar is rich in natural resources. Among the many natural resources found in Myanmar, jade can be found mostly in the Kachin State which is located in the Northern-most part of Myanmar. Not only quality jade, but also sizes of jade scraps are to be found in Kachin State and they are turned into jewelleries by skilled jewellers. Firstly, the jade scraps are cut with cross-cut saw to become flats. The flat jades of the same size are then cut into flaw less pieces of jade. To cut them, the top part of a wood-stick is glued with a heated sea ling-wax. Then the flat jade is roughly cut and later on cut again until you have a flawless cut and then with the jewellers expertise, the measure and weight are measured and weighted, and then they are patterned into the required designs.
