|Jade Treasure Jewels∥ Discovering Nature's Exquisite Gems∥Jewelry Curators∥Professional Wholesale| 【Characteristics of African Jade】 African jade is a type of quartzite, 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 jade consists primarily of quartz, with mica as the green mineral, often appearing in columnar or flaky aggregates. Pyrite contributes a metallic luster, while hematite forms the orange-yellow to reddish-brown impurities. The appearance of African jade closely resembles high-quality jadeite. It exhibits characteristics like "glass-like texture" and "floating flower" patterns, with a delicate luster. Due to its striking resemblance in color to jadeite, yet priced significantly lower—tens to hundreds of times less—it is often referred to as a "jadeite alternative" in the market. The value of African jade varies based on its internal structure and color purity; pieces with vibrant colors and minimal impurities are highly sought after. 【Jade Bangles】 Jade bangles are distinctive accessories for women, serving as talismans for peace and good fortune. Beyond their protective qualities, wearing a jade bangle enhances a woman's elegance and depth, making it a timeless and classic accessory. 【Jade Bangle Care】 The saying "The wearer nourishes the jade, and the jade nourishes the wearer" holds true; wearing a jade bangle for extended periods is the best form of maintenance and also reduces the risk of dropping it while dressing or undressing. When wearing a jade bangle, avoid impact with hard objects, especially those with minor cracks, to minimize the chance of breakage or damage. For routine care, gently wipe 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, mineral inclusions, black spots, or natural stone patterns, which are considered normal. 【Care Reminders】 African jade, being a quartzite, boasts a high hardness of 7.0-7.5, but its density is lower than that of jadeite. This lower density means extra care is needed during wear to avoid collisions that could lead to cracks. When storing, place it in a dedicated jewelry box or wrap it in a soft cloth to prevent it from colliding with other jewelry. Avoid exposing jewelry with metal inlays to high temperatures or acidic environments (e.g., hot springs). If stained, gently brush with a soft-bristled toothbrush and a mild detergent. 【Notes】 All photos taken in our store strive to accurately represent the texture and color of the actual product.
