Jadeite rough material
Jadeite is a good gem material which has been used for thousands of years.
Jade is the 'toughest' of all gem materials. There are many stories of Jade carvings being dropped on the floor without breaking. I don't recommend doing that, because small parts of the carving 'could' break.
Jadeite comes in every color except blue. Some of the green Jadeite is colored by chromium and makes an emerald-like green which is highly valued.
Jadeite is a great material for cabochons, inlays, and carvings.
This page shows a few example of Jadeite material which we have in stock. We will be adding more examples as we get time.
