Strand of Colored Jade Semi-Precious Stone Beads in Round Shape
Those who are not familiar with gemstones would probably be surprised by the wide variety of colors of semi-precious stones sold under the name "jadeite." In reality, jadeite can be found 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 top-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 gemstone can be carved into a continuous chain from a single piece of material and withstand being crafted into jewelry or figurines that last for centuries. This stone’s durability allows precious works of art to be passed down from generation to generation as family heirlooms. Whether treated or natural, 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.
