A 2,874 kilogram Hetian green-white jade in Xinjiang's Jumo County
attracted tourists to pay a visit. The county has a more than 5,000 year
long history of exploiting Hetian jade. At present, the county exploits
about 1 tons of Hetian jade materials annually, accounting for 70% of
Xinjiang's total output, making it the largest raw material base for many
jade sculpting factories.
