和田玉夹生在海拔3500米以上高绵延的昆仑山脉山岩中。和田玉原石经过自然的地质运动和冰川运动等长期的剥解为大小不等的块。

和田玉碎块经过雨水雪水冲刷流入河，随河流流入水中，称为和田玉山流水料，和田玉山流水原石经过玉龙喀什河几百甚至上万年的冲刷，就形成了和田玉籽料。

玉，是中华民族的瑰宝，是中华民族文化特色之一。在八千年的中国玉文化中，和田玉以其品质高雅、质地优良成为了历代王朝政治、文化、道德、宗教等方面的重要载体，并延续至今。和田玉的玉文化载体功能是以其物化产物（玉器）表现出来的。和田玉玉器根据用途不同可分为佩饰、摆件和器具三大类以及扳指、挂件、手镯、山子、瓶、炉、薰等若干小类。

和田玉属于民族图腾有8000年的历史承载至今，自古就有黄金有价玉无价的说法，对于价格定义还是建立在相对存在的基础之上，工艺，原料，创意，作者，未来也会出现品牌价值，对于玉石来讲，国内外至今没有统一操作的通行标准，因此在市场上，大体同类质量的玉石或饰品，其价位却往往差别很大，很难掌握。和田玉与单晶体宝石不同，和田玉是由多晶体组成的矿物集合体，组成的矿物颗粒粗细不同、排列方式不同且分布往往不均匀，从而造成和田玉的颜色、结构、透明度、杂质等变化多样。和田玉原料的价值影响因素根据文化，国情，审美，创意，工艺，等诸多条件，但无追捧玉石价值将会褪去颜色，这就是“黄金有价，玉无价”的缘由，新手和行家对这句话也是有着完全不同的理解差异。
