ABOUT GREEN JADEITE

Green Jadeite as a gemstone has plenty of history because it has been a part of people’s lives for centuries.

It’s mainly considered a symbol of serenity, tranquility, and purity. It’s a stone that’s believed to bring good luck, friendship, peace, and harmony. They also symbolize perfection because of their indestructibility.

TYPE OF JADEITE

Type A Jadeite – Natural form

We consider this as the only accepted form that jadeite should be. Type A natural jadeite means that the subject qualifies to be free of any chemical treatment. As part of the polishing process, coating the jadeite with colorless wax is accepted so long as it does not damage the crystalline structure of the subject. After fine polishing, the jadeite item is dipped in heated wax of liquid form, and once cooled down, it is buffed to give a smooth, lustrous look, much like the process of car waxing.

Type B Jadeite – Chemically treated and resin infused.

Type B jadeite means that the subject has been soaked in acid, which removes impurities or oxidation stains, producing a “bleaching” effect. This process lightens the color of many materials, including jadeite, and leaves many holes or micro craters inside throughout the subject. Next, it is placed into a vacuum chamber where polymer resins are infused into it, and after the final polish, the treated jadeite looks smooth and lustrous. Unfortunately, the appearance of Type B jadeite can change and deteriorate over time. When exposed to heat and sunlight, the polymer resin can discolor and oxidize and turn yellowish.

Type C Jadeite – Dyed coloring

Typically, type C jadeite has undergone all type B treatments, and dyed coloring is added to the polymer resin to produce an enhanced or additional coloring effect. Certain jade collectors look for jadeite items in three colors: green, white, orange, or purple.
