Material History
Lavender "Lilac" jade history:
One of the most prized colors of jadeite coming out of Guatemala. Its seems to have been recently discovered in the late 90's but in the early 2000's large hurricane's inundated the Moniqua area with floods and landslides that has exposed more recent finds of both the "Lilac" and "Blue" jadeites. Today, the Lilac is still very rare and sought after.
About
Proud to say one of my specialties at Jadedivers.com is making one of kind custom beads found almost no where in the world. Most of my beads are going to have cone tapered ends that are deburred and polished. My photos are taken to show the natural colors without photo enhancements. I believe this will best represent the colors and promote repeat customers.
** Note: Many items stated to be "Jade" on Etsy and Ebay are not. In many cases, price does not indicate this either so buying an expensive item may be a jade replica like glass. There are many other stones including agate, grossular garnet, serpentine (many forms), aventurine... being sold as jade. To make it worse and more complicated, many jadeite stones are being reconditioned and died to be very attractive so they pass general tests to be real. If you see very clear bangles, odds are they are agate, glass or something else. If you see very bright colors of red, yellow, purple... most likely not real. I say this as many buyers are being fooled on-line by these practices.
