African Serpentine Bangle 2504 #17.7

|Jade Treasure ∥ In Search of Nature's Beautiful Gems ∥ Jewelry Curator ∥ Professional Jewelry Wholesaler| 【Characteristics of African Serpentine】 African serpentine is a type of quartzinite, 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 is between 1.54 and 1.55. The mineral composition of African serpentine is primarily quartz, with muscovite as the green mineral. Muscovite exists as columnar and scaly aggregates. Pyrite is the metallic luster mineral, and hematite is the impurity mineral, appearing orange-yellow to reddish-brown. The appearance of African serpentine is extremely similar to high-quality jadeite. It possesses characteristics like glass-like texture and ice-veined patterns, with a fine luster. Because its color closely resembles jadeite, yet its price is tens to hundreds of times lower for 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 favored in the market. 【Jade Bangles】 Jade bangles are unique accessories for women, also serving as talismans for peace and good fortune. Beyond ensuring safety, wearing a jade bangle enhances a woman's elegant temperament and adds depth, making it a classic and timeless essential accessory. 【Jade Bangle Care】 "People nurture jade, and jade nurtures people." Wearing a jade bangle for extended periods is the best form of maintenance 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. For daily 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 containing cotton, metallic minerals, black spots, and natural stone patterns are all normal phenomena. 【Care Reminder】 African serpentine is a quartzinite with a high hardness of 7.0-7.5, but its density is lower than jadeite. Lower density means it requires careful handling 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 jewelry from colliding with each other. Avoid exposing jewelry with metal inlays to high temperatures or highly acidic environments (e.g., when soaking in hot springs). If stained, use a soft-bristled toothbrush with a mild detergent to gently brush and clean. 【Notes】 All photos taken in our store will strive to be as close as possible to the actual product's texture and color.
