Sinkankas: Studying the accounts of several scientific travelers in Asia led Fischer to conclude that all Asian jadeites come from a single source: Mung-Kong in Burma. Several specimens were investigated, and their properties were determined. Some Alpine jadeites were also examined. However, most of the discussion is devoted to the question of whether American jadeites originated from Asia.
