ABOUT GREEN JADEITE Green jadeite is a gemstone with plenty of history because it has been part of people’s lives for centuries. It’s mainly considered a symbol of serenity, tranquillity, and purity. It’s a stone believed to bring good luck, friendship, peace, and harmony. Because of its indestructibility, it also symbolizes perfection. ............................................. TYPE OF JADEITE Type A Jadeite – Natural form We consider this the only accepted form that a jadeite should be. Type A natural jadeite means the subject qualifies free of any chemical treatment. As part of the polishing process, coating the jadeite with colourless 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. When exposed to heat and sunlight, the polymer resin can discolour, oxidize, and turn yellowish. Type C Jadeite – Dyed coloring Typically, type C jadeite has undergone all the treatments of type B and added dyed colouring to the polymer resin to produce an enhanced or additional colouring effect. Certain jade collectors look for jadeite items in three colours: green, white, orange or purple. .............................................
