Mandalay's jade market is believed to be the largest on earth. Here, every morning, thousands of people gather to cut, polish and trade the precious stones.

Jade is found all over the world, but the gems from Myanmar are widely considered to be the best quality. Despite decades of international sanctions, the jade trade to Asian countries, especially China, is still a multi-billion dollar industry.
