African Serpentine Bangle 2498 #17.5

|Serpentine Treasure || Seeking Nature's Exquisite Gems || Jewel Courier || Professional Jewelry Wholesale| 【Characteristics of African Serpentine】 African serpentine is a type of quartzinite jade, 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 of quartz, with white mica forming the green mineral. White mica appears in columnar and scaly aggregates. Pyrite is the metallic luster mineral, and hematite is the impurity mineral, ranging from orange-yellow to reddish-brown. The appearance of African serpentine is remarkably similar to high-quality jadeite. It possesses characteristics like glassy texture and ice-like willow patterns, with a delicate luster. Due to its striking resemblance in color to jadeite, yet priced tens to hundreds of times lower than jadeite of comparable quality, it is also known in the market as a "jadeite alternative." The value of African serpentine varies based on its internal structure and color purity; pieces with vibrant colors and fewer impurities are more sought after in the market. 【Jade Bangles】 Jade bangles are a distinctive accessory for women, also serving as a talisman for peace and good fortune. Beyond protection, wearing a jade bangle imparts an elegant and profound aura to a woman, making it a timeless and classic piece of jewelry. 【Jade Bangle Care】 "Jade nourishes people, and people nourish jade." Wearing a jade bangle on your wrist for extended periods is the best form of care and 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 care involves wiping the bangle with a soft cloth to maintain its lustrous beauty. 【Quality Assurance】 All jade sold in this store is natural and untreated. Natural jade may contain cotton inclusions, metallic minerals, black spots, and natural stone lines, which are all normal occurrences. 【Care Reminder】 African serpentine is a type of quartzinite jade with a high hardness of 7.0-7.5, but its density is lower than that of jadeite. Lower density means it requires careful handling to avoid collisions during wear, preventing cracks. When storing, place it in a dedicated jewelry box or wrap it in a soft cloth to prevent jewelry from colliding with each other. Avoid exposing jewelry with metal inlays to high temperatures or acidic environments (e.g., hot springs). If soiled, use a soft-bristled toothbrush with a mild detergent to gently brush and clean. 【Notes】 All photos in this store are taken to closely represent the texture and color of the actual product.
