In Hong Kong, peach is considered a blessed fruit, a symbol of longevity and immortality. According to mythology, the goddess of the palace near Xi-wang-mu, the wife of the Jade Emperor and the patron saint of Taoist sages, called The Immortals, was growing a peach tree. She revered this tree for its significance as a source of immortality. The Immortals organized a so-called "Peach Feast." The peach tree bloomed only once every few thousand years and it took three thousand years for the fruit to ripen. They had waited for this event for six thousand years! The peach is an emblem of the god of longevity. He holds in one hand a magic peach of immortality and in his other staff of ginseng root and a gourd with pure crystalline water, the symbol of life.

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 form of 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 in color. Unfortunately, the appearance of Type B jadeite can change and deteriorate over time. The polymer resin can discolor and oxidize when exposed to heat and sunlight and turn yellowish.

Type C Jadeite – Dyed coloring

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