Dear Bill

That's what you assumed.

You have to understand more geology.

Shang Dynasty is a lower Yellow River valley civilization, and where is the Yellow River originate from?.."Qinghai Province", close to Xinjiang and share the same Kunlun mountain range.

A great mountain chains in Asia, extending more than 3,000 km. From the Pamirs of Tajikistan, it runs east along the border between Xinjiang and Tibet autonomous regions to the Sino-Tibetan ranges in Qinghai province."

"Yellow river originates from Qinling mountain range in Qinghai Province, a continuation of the Kunlun Mountains."
----------------------------

Is it possible that Fuhou picked up jade from Yellow river base which are from Kunlun mountain and share the mineral content as of those in Hetain?

And Xinjiang share kunlun mountain range with Gansu province...and Gansu province is next to Inner Mongolia... will their jade have the same mineral content as the same as Hetian because they share the same mountain range?

Think about it!

Have fun
Anita
