Strand of Semi-Precious Stone Beads – JADE in Round Shape
Those who are not experts might be surprised by the variety of colors of semi-precious stones sold under the name "jadeite". In reality, jadeite occurs in the entire spectrum of colors, with green being considered the most valuable. In China, this stone is valued more highly than gold. Due to the limited quantities and high prices of high-quality material, jadeite is often bleached, treated, and dyed. Treated jadeite is significantly more affordable, which is why it is much more widely available on the market. After hematite, jadeite is the hardest known stone. No other stone can be carved into a continuous chain from a single piece of material and endure as jewelry or figurine for centuries. This durability of the stone allows precious creations to be passed down from generation to generation as a family heirloom. Whether treated or not, jadeite is a wonderful material for jewelry, accessories, and decorations not only because of its strong aesthetic presence, but also as a semi-precious stone that possesses a number of valuable metaphysical and energetic properties.
