Does Jadeite Have Natural Imperfections?

"Clear water brings forth lotus flowers, natural without the need for embellishment."

Yes, natural jadeite often contains imperfections, which are inherent characteristics formed during its natural creation process, I mean is an old rock right? These may include:

  1. Stone Lines: Fine cracks within the jadeite caused by geological movement, usually not affecting its overall structure and durability.
  2. Inclusions: White or light-colored fibrous patterns, a result of natural crystal formation.
  3. Color Roots: Uneven color distribution, appearing as concentrated areas of color.
  4. Mineral Impurities: Natural mineral particles or inclusions present within the jadeite.

These natural features are not flaws but rather a testament to the authenticity of the jadeite, making each piece unique. At HUAJADE, we celebrate these natural characteristics as nature’s signature, adding beauty and value to every piece.
