|翠靴 Treasure∥Discovering Nature's Beautiful Gems∥Jewelry Curator∥Professional Jewelry Wholesaler| 【Characteristics of African Green Jade】 African green jade is a type of quartzite 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 green jade primarily consists of quartz, with mica contributing to its green hues, appearing in columnar and scaly aggregates. Pyrite adds metallic luster, while hematite is present as an orange-yellow to reddish-brown impurity. African green jade's appearance is remarkably similar to high-quality jadeite. It exhibits characteristics like "glassy texture" and "floating flower patterns." Its luster is fine and delicate. Due to its strong resemblance to jadeite in color, yet priced at a fraction of the cost—tens to hundreds of times less than jadeite of comparable quality—it is also known in the market as a "jadeite alternative." The value of African green jade varies depending on its internal structure and color purity, with brighter colors and fewer impurities being more sought after. 【Jade Bangles】 Jade bangles are a distinctive accessory for women, serving as a protective amulet for peace and good fortune. Beyond safeguarding well-being, wearing a jade bangle enhances a woman's elegance and depth, making it a timeless and enduring accessory. 【Jade Bangle Care】 As the saying goes, "people nurture jade, and jade nurtures people." Wearing a jade bangle 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 contact with hard objects, especially if it has minor cracks, to minimize the chance of breakage or damage. For regular maintenance, gently wipe the bangle with a soft cloth to maintain its lustrous beauty. 【Quality Assurance】 All jade sold in our store is natural and untreated. Natural jade may contain characteristics such as "cotton," metallic mineral inclusions, black spots, and natural stone lines, all of which are normal occurrences. 【Care Reminders】 African green jade, being a quartzite jade, has a high hardness of 7.0-7.5 but a lower density than jadeite. Its lower density means it requires careful handling during wear to prevent collisions that could lead to cracks. When storing, use a dedicated jewelry box or wrap it in a soft cloth to prevent items from bumping into each other. Be mindful of avoiding contact with high-temperature or highly acidic environments (e.g., hot springs) when wearing jewelry with metal inlays. If stained, a soft-bristled toothbrush with a mild detergent can be used for gentle cleaning. 【Notes】 All product photos are taken to represent the "texture" and "color" as closely as possible to the actual item.
