182 COGOTN BROWN : MINES Sc MINERAL RESOURCES OF YUNNAN. 



Burma. The best- qualities are said to be exported direct, in 

 the rough, to Canton, and only the second-grade stone is sent to 

 Yunnan. Nevertheless, jade-cutting and -polishing is a staple trade 

 in Teng-yiieh and I have already commented on the subject 

 in the section of this report dealing with trade. 



Amber ornaments are common. Most of the specimens I 

 examined bore the characteristic fluorescence of the Burmese 

 material. 



Turquoise ornaments are always worn by the Yunnanese Tibet- 

 ans, but the stone is not of local origin.
