Analysis on the current situation and development trend of quartz crystal supply and demand in China in 2020, and the domestic market demand is growing

一、Types of crystals

Quartz crystal, also known as crystal, as an important mineral raw material, crystal belongs to quartz single crystal, with the characteristics of high transparency and complete crystal form. It is mainly composed of silica, mainly in transparent color. Due to the wrapping of trace impurity elements or minerals, it will be mixed into the crystal during the formation of crystal, These elements meet with the internal elements of the crystal to produce chemical reactions, resulting in different colors of transparent crystals, such as purple, yellow, smoke, powder, green, red, gold, etc.

二、Analysis on the current market situation of China's quartz crystal industry

China's crystal producing areas are widely distributed. The most famous producing areas are those that can produce crystals with high quality, large volume and high transparency. For example, Donghai County, Jiangsu Province has the highest crystal resource reserves and output in China. It is China's "Crystal Capital". According to statistics, by 2020, China's quartz crystal output was 2684.8 tons, a year-on-year increase of 5.97%.

四、Innovation trend of China's crystal industry

1.、Promote the innovation of crystal industry

The development of domestic crystal industry should speed up exchanges and cooperation, actively learn from and absorb foreign advanced processing technology and experience, promote the innovation of crystal industry, comprehensively deepen the cooperative relationship with foreign crystal industry, introduce a group of foreign crystal masters, select foreign students to study abroad, cultivate crystal talents, and continuously improve the scientific and technological content and market competitiveness of domestic crystal industry. Enrich the crystal history and culture, and combine the crystal industry with science and technology, art and Chinese traditional culture. Endow crystal with new connotation and taste.

2、Establish and improve talent training mechanism

In order to remain invincible in the crystal industry, it is necessary to establish and improve the talent training mechanism. In addition to offering gemology professional courses, it is necessary to set up artistic cultivation and crystal carving creation rooms, improve students' artistic literacy, train managers of relevant jewelry industries and establish a set of talent training programs. It includes broadening students' literacy in ideas, horizons and thoughts, absorbing beneficial nutrients from historical classic works and other art categories, increasing accumulation and stimulating inspiration through observation and understanding of life, so as to create good works with ideology and connotation, so as to reflect the artistic and economic value of the works. In the face of the sharp rise in the price of crystal raw materials and the increasingly fierce competition, how to improve the artistic level on the limited raw materials and increase the added value of sculptures. It has become a severe issue for crystal practitioners. Schools and enterprises should strengthen contact and cooperation, update knowledge and educational ideas in time, and cultivate skilled talents needed by enterprises. Pay attention to students' social practice, let them be inspired by various arts and crafts exhibitions, sculpture exhibitions and museum display works, stimulate inspiration from the observation and experience of life details, and greatly improve their artistic literacy and creative ability.

3、Strengthen industry supervision

We should protect the crystal industry chain, improve the credibility of products, prevent fake and shoddy products, make the crystal industry develop scientifically, reasonably and standardized, formulate and implement reasonable protection measures, and better develop and utilize the limited crystal resources. Only by cultivating and establishing the concept of sustainable development can we realize the sustainable development of crystal industry.

（1）Key points and solutions of crystal technology

The development of crystal industry tends to be diversified, differentiated and fashionable. In addition to natural crystal, in order to meet the development needs of all walks of life, it is necessary to mass produce synthetic crystal to meet the development needs of the industry and realize the industrial application value of crystal. R & D personnel need to change traditional ideas, communicate with international standards and learn advanced skills.

（2）Technical measures adopted

There are many kinds of crystal industry, and each work embodies the craftsman's skills and efforts. Technology is the basis for measuring whether the crystal industry has advanced, market competitiveness and competitor's important index. With the development of domestic crystal industry, the application of related core production technology in R & D will become the focus of domestic enterprises. Understanding the R & D trend, process requirements and technical application of the core technology of crystal production at home and abroad is very important for enterprises to improve product technology and market competitiveness.

（3）Main technical indicators

Through on-the-spot investigation and study in the front-line enterprises (factories) of Donghai crystal city, we systematically understand the application value of the core technology of crystal products, technology R & D, processing process and process equipment. Expanded the understanding of crystal industry chain and application value.
