10月14日，《澳大利亚珠宝》杂志发表题为《澳大利亚在十多年后重新开启对华玉石贸易》的文章，对澳洲和田玉在镇平的推广和对澳大利亚的的商业意义进行了阐述，并表示：“此次贸易重启旨在为澳洲零售商建立稳定的采购与分销渠道”。
《澳大利亚珠宝》（Jeweller Magazine）是澳大利亚和新西兰地区首屈一指的珠宝行业杂志。该杂志由位于澳大利亚墨尔本的专业媒体公司 Gunnamatta Media 出版，是澳大利亚和新西兰珠宝爱好者及珠宝行业专业人士的首选杂志。
目前，澳大利亚唯一的商用软玉（和田玉）供应商——Australian Jade公司，已通过向中国出口超过80吨澳洲黑玉，并在河南省镇平县建立新仓库，重新建立了对华贸易关系。
镇平位于河南省，是中国重要的玉雕中心，拥有约30万名玉雕工匠。新的仓库设立在石佛寺镇，当地被称为“玉之寺庙”，将作为澳洲玉在中国的分销与加工枢纽。
国际市场认证供应链
澳大利亚软玉（和田玉）多呈深绿色至黑色，以细腻的结构与坚韧的质地著称。该玉石仅产自南澳大利亚艾尔半岛的考威尔玉石产区，该区域约10平方公里范围内分布着100多个玉石露头。
为符合中国宝石贸易标准，澳洲软玉已通过检测，证实其化学成分为透闪石（tremolite）与阳起石（actinolite），从而在中国被正式认定为“和田玉”，符合真实性的国家标准。
成品与定制设计
贸易重启后，澳大利亚玉饰品及工艺品的供应得以恢复。Australian Jade总经理史蒂夫·莫尼亚德（Steve Moignard）表示，此举重建了一个供应链，使中国的雕刻技艺与澳洲的原料实现融合。
“随着在中国的生产与仓储体系建立，我们得以在十多年来首次将澳洲玉制成品推向市场，”莫尼亚德说。
目前，原石与半成品（如弧形戒面）正直接供应给澳大利亚、英国及美国的珠宝商，而手镯、串珠手链、吊坠、项链与戒指等定制产品则在中国雕刻后运回澳洲销售。
莫尼亚德指出，虽然玉石在国际市场上有悠久的文化与经济价值，但在澳大利亚珠宝市场中仍属未被充分开发的品类。
“玉石在海外一直被高度重视，但其在澳洲本土珠宝领域的潜力尚未被挖掘，”他说。
他提到，全球玉石产业的年市场价值估计超过300亿美元，此次贸易重启旨在为澳洲零售商建立稳定的采购与分销渠道。
市场准入与贸易基础设施
Australian Jade公司同时推出了全新网站与线上商店，展示贸易目录及精选雕刻成品。据该公司介绍，部分独立作品售价超过2万澳元。
此次贸易重启使珠宝商可获得经认证的澳洲软玉原料，其供应体系通过中国的加工与制造环节予以支持。
Trade in Australian nephrite jade has resumed with China after more than a decade, following the reopening of commercial operations at the Cowell jade mines in South Australia. Australian Jade, currently the nation’s only commercial supplier of nephrite jade, has re-established trade with China through the delivery of over 80 tonnes of Australian Black Jade and the opening of a new warehouse in Zhengping. Zhengping, located in Henan Province, is a major hub for jade carving, home to an estimated 300,000 carvers. The new warehouse, based in the town of Shifosi, widely referred to as the Jade Temple will facilitate the distribution and processing of Australian jade in China. Australian nephrite jade, typically dark green to black in colour, is known for its fine grain and durability. It originates exclusively from the Cowell Jade Province on the Eyre Peninsula, where over 100 outcrops span a 10-kilometre area. To meet Chinese gemstone trade requirements, Australian jade has been certified to contain the correct chemical composition of actinolite and tremolite. This allows it to be officially recognised in China as Hotan Yu, ensuring compliance with national standards for authenticity. The reopening of trade enables the supply of finished Australian jade jewellery and objects to the market. According to Australian Jade Managing Director Steve Moignard, this development has re-established a supply route that allows integration of Chinese carving capabilities with Australian raw material. “With established manufacturing and warehousing in China, we’re able to bring finished Australian jade products to market for the first time in over a decade,” said Moignard. Rough stones and cabochons are now being supplied directly to jewellers in Australia, the UK and the US, while custom-made items including bangles, bead bracelets, pendants, necklaces and rings are carved in China and returned to Australia for retail. Moignard noted that jade has a longstanding presence in international markets, but its use in the Australian jewellery sector remains limited. “Jade has always held immense cultural and economic value overseas, but its potential in the Australian jewellery market has barely been tapped,” he said. He referenced the global jade industry’s estimated value of over US$30 billion annually as an indicator of the industry’s size, with the renewed trade connection intended to support sourcing and distribution for Australian retailers. Australian Jade has also launched a new website and online store, featuring a trade catalogue and a selection of carved products. According to the company, individual pieces have sold for over AU$20,000. The reopening of trade provides jewellers with access to certified Australian nephrite jade, with supply supported through processing and manufacturing operations in China.Certified Supply Chain for International Markets
