Shennong Chicken Blood Jade, produced only in Shennongjia, Hubei Province, China, is a precious red jade, which is called "Zhenshan Gem" by local people. As the only mid latitude natural oasis in the world, Shennongjia Forest Area has 1.6 billion years of history. It is rich in mineral resources and is a place of ancient jade deposits. After exploration by geological experts, Shennong Jixue Jade Mine was formed in the Mesoproterozoic geological period, about 10-13 billion years ago. Its formation age is far older than Hotan Jade and Jade, and it is the oldest jade in China. Shennong Jixue Jade is distributed on the cliff of Shennong Summit in the form of chicken nest mine. Because it is hidden under the primeval forest, the mountain is high and the forest is dense, so ordinary people can't climb it. Because of the precipitous terrain, it is impossible to operate mechanically, so it can only be excavated manually and then carried down the mountain with a back basket. The whole process is the original mining method. It is understood that mining can only be carried out from June to August in 12 months of the year, and the rest of the time is closed.
