Product description
Strand of semi-precious stone beads JADEITE in a round shape – assorted colors.
Those who are not gemstone experts might be surprised by the wide variety of colors found in semi-precious stones sold under the name jadeite. In fact, jadeite appears in the entire spectrum of colors, with green being considered the most valuable. In China, this stone is treasured even more highly than gold.
Due to the limited availability and high cost of top-quality material, jadeite is often bleached, treated, and dyed. Treated jadeite is much more affordable, which makes it far more common on the market.
After hematite, jadeite is the hardest known stone. No other gemstone can be carved into an unbroken chain from a single piece of material and endure in the form of jewelry or a sculpture for centuries. This remarkable durability allows jadeite creations to be passed down from generation to generation as precious family heirlooms.
Whether treated or natural, jadeite is an exceptional material for jewelry, accessories, and decorations—not only because of its striking aesthetic appeal but also for its many valuable metaphysical and energetic properties.
