Jade Bangle bracelet in green and purple
Unique bangle bracelet in jade with green and purple coloring.Measurements are as follows:Inside diameter: 2 and 1/4 inchesOutside diameter: 2 and 3/4 inchesWidth: 13.0 mmThickness: 7.0 mmWeight: 47.9 gramsJade very often exhibits several colors within one piece. Although one pure uniform color is usually best, combinations such as green and lavender, red and green, or white with strong green are very desirable. The Chinese have an extensive list of phrases to identify these combinations and colors: moss-in-snow, chicken-blood, valley-leaf, old mine,
spring grass and many others.
What is the best color?
Other considerations aside, the hierarchy of color value would be green, lavender, red, yellow, white and black. This is by no means an absolute scale; however, no one would argue with the first two.
What causes these colors?
In a nutshell, the color and translucence of jade are the result of the chemical impurities present in the rough and the rate at which the jade cooled eons ago during the formation process. For example, green is the result of chromic oxide impurities; lavender comes about from the presence of manganese; red jade occurs as the end product of oxidation from surrounding water or earth; black jade denotes high iron content; white jade is \"pure\" jade. Of course, jade contains many other impurities that modify and shade these colors (quartz, mica, serpentine, etc.).
Will the color of jade change with time?
In the Orient, jade is considered a living thing that is young, then matures and grows green with age. It was said that some people had the ability to make jade turn green more quickly, and that this was a virtue of their mind and body and soul. Alas, interesting myths notwithstanding, this simply will not happen!
Many people even today believe that in times of good health, one\'s jade grows richer in color, while trauma or illness will drain the color (and absorb the travail). The wearing of jade close to the body was said to ensure health. Interesting though these thoughts may be, there is no evidence that jade will change color. Quite the contrary, jade is impervious to oils, perfumes and most cold acids. Its color is constant, for better or worse.
