There are three carving methods in the market, ultrasonic, machine carving and hand carving. But no matter what kind of carving process, there will be a certain cost.
Hand-carved is also graded, and carving masters are expensive. If it's not good material, don't bother the master. There are hundreds of yuan and thousands of pieces carved by disciples, depending on the carving theme and the level of disciples.
Ultrasonic wave is a mechanical pressing part, so it is not recommended.
Many merchants choose to use ordinary materials for machine carving, which is cost-effective! But the machine-carved material is really not so aura.
Extended data:
Machine carving is to have a scanned template and then copy and paste it. Disadvantages:

Different from hand carving, the edge of machine carving is even and flat, and there is no inward concave arc.
It is more cost-effective to bargain by machine carving, but there are quantitative requirements, mainly jade merchants, and the later decoration is also to cooperate with carving shops to train apprentices.
Through the jade sculptor's judgment and the matching use of seed material color, hand carving can abandon imperfect parts from pattern design to technology, highlight perfect or special parts, with beautiful and smooth lines and overall agility.
A good sculpture can be perfectly displayed in terms of technology, cultural connotation and original stone characteristics. Give spiritual life to the stone with your own hands.
