ABOUT GREEN JADEITE
Green Jadeite as a gemstone has plenty of history because it has been a part of people’s lives for many centuries.
It’s mainly considered a symbol of serenity, tranquillity, 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 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 colour 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 colour. 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.
