An annual Myanmar gems emporium was opened in Nay Pyi Taw Saturday for its golden jubilee. Some originally-scheduled interim special gem sales and mid- year event were also stopped over the period following the suspension of jade mining work in Pha-Kant, northernmost Kachin state since May 2012 when armed conflicts between the government forces and the Kachin Independence Army (KIA) escalated, effecting the mining area run by hundreds of mining companies.
