About the Item

This is a difficult-to-find large-size hand-carved jadeite bangle in extremely rare Guatemala blue jadeite jade. The bangle has an outer diameter of 89mm and an opening of 70mm, meaning it will fit a man with fairly large hands. It's 23.78mm wide and about 10mm thick. This translates to a massive, heavy bangle that has been carved to perfection. High-gloss on the outside and the softest, almost powdery mat-finish on the interior. It's truly exquisite lapidary work, carved entirely by hand in California. Jadeite was "discovered" by Western geologists in Burma in the mid-19th century and identified as a form of jade. The mines of Burma produce the world's finest, rarest, and most valuable jadeite jade. Jadeite is formed under geological circumstances that exist in very few places on earth. However, since approximately 1300 BC, Mexican civilizations —the Olmecs, the Myans, the Aztecs— created (and left behind) many treasures created from a uniquely beautiful variety of jadeite. While jadeite from Guatemala cannot match the fine-grained glassy semi-transparency and vivid colors of the finest Burmese jadeite, the jadeite from South America is distinctive and fascinating all on its own. Some of this South American material displays extraordinary translucency and coloring that rivals that from Burma. The actual source for "blue Olmec jade" has never been found. Rather, boulders of jadeite in various interesting colors are scattered about. The rarest and most prized color is the blue you see here. I've photographed the bangle in a variety of lighting, so you can see how beautiful it looks in all light, True Guatemalan jadeite is rare. This bangle ships with a certificate from Stone Group Labs stating that the bangle is natural and untreated jadeite of dark bluish-green and that its origin is Guatemala.
