Donghai Crystal

Donghai Crystal is a protected geographical indication product.

　　 Donghai in Lianyungang is a major production area for crystals in China, yielding over 500 tons annually—accounting for half of the national output—and is known as the “Crystal Capital.” The largest crystal in China, weighing 4.36 tons, was mined here. Donghai is home to more than 300 crystal processing enterprises, earning the nickname “Crystal Products Street.” As a result, Lianyungang regularly hosts grand Crystal Festivals in Donghai County. During the festival, a variety of folk performances and cultural events take place, along with exhibitions of calligraphy, paintings, and children’s woodcuts. There are also crystal research conferences, trade and economic negotiation meetings, as well as fairs for agricultural and sideline products. Enterprises such as China Crystal Jewelry Network have played an active role in revitalizing the Donghai crystal industry.

　　The protected geographical indication area for Donghai Crystal is defined according to the scope proposed in the "Request for Clarification of the Protected Geographical Indication Area for Donghai Crystal" (Dongzhengfa [2006] No. 91) issued by Donghai County, Jiangsu Province, covering the entire current administrative region of Donghai County, Jiangsu Province.
