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