　　Q：Is the main material of your works made of jadeite from Guatemala? Is there a market for this kind of jade in your area.

　　缪玥：你作品的主要材料是危地马拉的硬玉吗?这种玉在你们地区有市场吗？

　　A：Hello everyone, let me first introduce myself. My name is Mario Alberto Zamora Campos, I live in Costa Rica (Central America), I am 50 years old and I am a biologist, musician and jade carver.

　　马里奥：（译）大家好，自我介绍一下，我叫马里奥·阿尔贝托·萨莫拉·坎波斯，我住在哥斯达黎加(中美洲)，今年50岁，是一名生物学家、音乐家和玉雕师。

　　To answer your first question, yes, most of the material I have worked with in the last 10 years is jadeite from Guatemala, although I have also carved jade from other parts of the world such as the United States, Canada, Borneo and others. Despite the fact that Costa Rica has one of the largest Jade museums in the world (it is called "Museo del Jade y de la Cultura Precolombina"), the trade in jade carvings in the country and in the other Central American countries is still very incipient Generally, what people like to buy are pendants, sometimes with pre-Columbian motifs or related to the country's wildlife (animals, flowers, tree leaves, etc.) and most customers are from abroad. I also carve semi-precious stones from the country, such as chalcedony, quartz, jasper and others. It is important for the foreign public to know that Costa Rica had very close trade ties with pre-Columbian cultures of Mesoamerica in pre-Columbian times, and there was a great boom in jade carving, reaching similar exceptional levels in jade quality and carving as those made by the Olmecs in southern Mexico. Whenever you have the opportunity, I invite you to visit the great collection of pre-Columbian jades and ceramics that our Museum has, which is one of the largest collections of ancient jades in the world.

　　回答你的第一个问题：是的，在过去10年里，我使用的大多数材料都是来自危地马拉的翡翠，尽管我也雕刻过来自世界其它地方的翡翠，如美国、加拿大、婆罗洲和其他地方。尽管哥斯达黎加拥有世界上最大的玉器博物馆之一(被称为“前哥伦比亚文化玉器博物馆”)，但该国和其他中美洲国家的玉雕贸易仍处于非常初期的阶段。一般来说，人们喜欢购买的是挂件，有时带有前哥伦比亚时期的主题，或与该国的野生动物(动物、花朵、树叶等)有关的挂件，大多数客户来自国外。
