Icy Swirl Emerald Green African Serpentine Bangle 2616 #18.5

| Jade Treasure | Discovering Nature's Exquisite Gems | Gemstone Curator | Professional Jewelry Wholesaler | 【Characteristics of African Serpentine】 African serpentine is a type of quartz rock, belonging to the same family as crystal and agate. It has a Mohs hardness of 7-7.5 and a density of 2.75 g/cm³. Its refractive index ranges between 1.54 and 1.55. The mineral composition of African serpentine consists mainly of quartz, with muscovite being the primary green mineral. Muscovite appears in aggregates of acicular, columnar, or scaly forms. Pyrite presents as metallic luster minerals, while hematite is an impurity mineral with an orange-yellow to reddish-brown hue. African serpentine's appearance is remarkably similar to high-quality jadeite, exhibiting characteristics like glassy texture and icy swirls. It possesses a fine luster. Due to its striking resemblance to jadeite in color, yet priced significantly lower—tens to hundreds of times less than jadeite of comparable quality—it's also known in the market as a "jadeite alternative." The value of African serpentine varies based on its internal structure and color purity; items with vibrant colors and minimal impurities are highly sought after. 【Jade Bangles】 Jade bangles are unique adornments for women, serving as talismans for peace and good fortune. Beyond safeguarding well-being, wearing a jade bangle bestows an air of elegance and depth upon a woman, making it a timeless and classic accessory. 【Jade Bangle Care】 "The person nourishes the jade, and the jade nourishes the person." Long-term wear is the best form of care for a jade bangle, and it also reduces the risk of dropping it when putting it on or taking it off. When wearing a jade bangle, avoid impact with hard objects, especially those with minor cracks, to minimize the chance of breakage or damage. Regular maintenance can be done by wiping the bangle with a soft cloth to maintain its luster and beauty. 【Quality Assurance】 All jade sold in our store is natural and untreated. Natural jade may contain cotton inclusions, metallic minerals, black spots, or natural stone lines, all of which are normal occurrences. 【Care Reminder】 African serpentine, being a type of quartz rock, has a high hardness of 7.0-7.5 but a lower density than jadeite. This lower density means you need to be cautious to avoid collisions during wear to prevent cracks. When storing, place it in a dedicated jewelry box or wrap it in a soft cloth to prevent different pieces of jewelry from colliding. Avoid exposing metal-inlaid jewelry to high temperatures or acidic environments (e.g., while bathing in hot springs). If stained, use a soft toothbrush with a mild detergent to gently scrub and clean. 【Notes】 All photos in our store are taken to be as close as possible to the actual product's texture and color.
