Photos taken at the scene show local politician U Tint Soe standing next to this giant jewel. This is the second largest jade in the world, after a 260-ton monolithic Buddha statue in China.

"The jade block is as big as two small houses," said U Tint Soe. "I think it embodies the fate of our people, our government. This is a very good sign for us."

Myanmar is the world's largest jade mining country and this industry contributes 50 billion USD per year, accounting for half of GDP.

Huge jade blocks are estimated to be worth about 174.5 million USD, the most expensive in the world today.

The wholesale price of jade from mining mines is about 1,000 USD / kg, but the retail price may increase to 1,400 USD / kg. The newly discovered giant jade block in Myanmar is estimated to be worth about USD 174.5 million, the most expensive in the world today.

The giant jade block will be moved to China for crafting into jewelry and statues. A block of 18 tons of jade was discovered in Canada in 2013 with a value of about 2 million USD.
