What about size, I found some that fit thrown away in a move out and the pearls are larger than the 1s you were talking about.
Jade! Does! Work ! For many ! Things!¡. In my experienced. Is the closest stone to creation of all the planets in the universe. It comes from Rocks.Right ! From the center and is washed away !! All minerals to rivers ! And takes thousands of years even millions ! Form into rock. ✨️✨️🐍🐍
I have one golden pearl I have found it before eating it was my best day in my life, I love pearls it's fantastic energy to touching it my pearls akoya I love so much 2.
Can you talk about color shift garnets?
I would like to join the discord, but says the link has expired unfortunately
It's so complex. I just go with my visual preference. If I like it. I want it.
Is casa del Jade in Antigua Guatemala real Jadeite Jade or fake Jadeite Jade?
@@Tecun-p7g Hi there! It looked like all real jade to me when I was there. I don’t know the owners personally and have never done business with them, but it looked to me like they carry natural and genuine jadeite jade. I also thought their prices seemed fair when I visited in November
Dragon is not recommended if you are born on year of the pig. dragon is not for everyone.
Giok indonesia 😊
Siberian stuff is gorgeous and mind blowing
Rare in Guatemala jade ,,she has none information about it
Bagaimana menurut anda giok nagan raya aceh, giok jawa kebumen and giok nabire irian jaya di Indonesia yang mana saja yang benar2 masuk batu giok ?
South sea pearls are highly sought after for their rich and varied colours. They can grow to an average of about 18mm rarely exceeding a maximum of 20mm. The main factors that determines the colour of a pearl are their growing environment and their oyster species. So this is the reason that South Seas pearls come in a variety of colours. Their prices are way dearer than freshwater pearls as each “cultured saltwater South Seas oyster” only produces one pearl in a five year period in comparison to “freshwater oyster pearls” that produce 20-30 pearls each in a few months! What is more, only one in four of these “cultured saltwater South Seas oyster” actually produces one single pearl in each five year period!
I think it’s redIculous that people have been so gas lighted about what quality jade is, and that it “only comes from from Burma”… hooey!!! Having worked with both and polished etc, there’s no contest for me between the beauty and aesthetic of Guatemalan jade and pretty much any other.
Guatemalan jade is even prettier than Burmese IMO, son ice to work with
Datanglah ke indonesia tepatnya ke nagan raya aceh giok neprite di jamin 100% natural tanpa perlakuan apapun (dipolimer dan lain lain) dan harganya wow percayalah tidak semahal yang anda pikirkan
B+C jade worth 3$ lol 300$ is rip-off haha. Someone got scammed
Thank You so much for sharing Reputable Sellers, Artist, Jewelers in the Jade Industry. This LOAD of Information YOU Disseminate is Truly Valuable especially with us Newbies. THANK YOU MAY YOU BE FLYING HIGH IN 2025!!! BLESSINGS UNTO YOU, YOUR FAMILY AND ENDEAVORS!!!
Once again, an outstanding informational pertaining to these Gorgeous Gems= Jadeite / Nephrite / serpentine.
Watching a short Blast from the Past. Now going unto 2025- we be flying high!!!
It’s the end of 2024 & I’m interested in knowing more about gems. Right now I’d like to say, I’d prefer the real natural gems than the ones that are hand made/lab made
Nice video! I learned recently that Mary Lou is my 6th cousin.
Hello Maam Kris and Sir Jeff we have that small color green like seed of quash and also like a black diamond but his circle

16:50 whenever he pounds the table it makes a very unpleasant sound through the microphone. Either you have to use a suspended microphone or ask him to stop pounding the table.
You are a treasure! Thanks so much for the educational information I was searching for! Happy Holidays and be well!
@@misstarzan80 So glad you enjoyed the video! 😊 Thank you for your kind comment!! Happy Holidays to you as well
🌺🌺🌺🌺
THANK YOU FOR YOUR VIDEOS- EDUCATIONAL AND ALL SO INFORMATIVE. I HAVE LEARNED A LOT AND I MEAN LEARNED A LOT ABOUT JADEOTE, NEPHRITE AND BECAUSE OF THE INFORMATION YOU HAVE DISSEMINATED ON YOUR VIDEOS, I HAVE COME TO DISCOVER THAT WASHINGTON STATE WHERE WE LIVE HAS BOTH JADEITE AND NEPHRITE WITH SO MANY VARIETIES OF COLORS. AN AMAZING WORLD OF GEM- JADEITE \\\/// NEPHRITE.
VERY INFOMATIVE. THANK YOU FOR YOUR EDUCATION VIDEOS.
MY, MY, MY!!!
I tell you what these two people who "discovered" all they did was steal more until the Guatemalan government told them; As if you people have not stolen enough. Leave the country or face consequences.
You are doing great work! Hope you get more views and subscribers soon!
I was on a Christmas party since "december 21st 2024" but i was on a rock field with many rock then i cant belive le luck 😮😮😮 i just found a jade that is colored with a weord green color but when it gets older i hope it turns into normal green but i found another jade next to my car buried in the soil, i was panicking in luck that i dig the soil with my nails so hard that it the soil is too hard but the 2nd jade popped with dirt that i wiped the dirt with my hands but my father wiped the soil with clean wipes and thats how i got my 2 jadeites "is my comment very long?"
"uhh i think one of my spellings are accidentally wrong."
"Jade v Jadeite" is misleading. They are BOTH types of "Jade". The correct terminology is "Nephrite v Jadeite".
@@augiegray2120 Correct! Over 4,000 people are Google-searching “Jade Vs Jadeite” every month, and in my opinion, many of the search results are misleading. This video is intended to reach those users and help explain that “jade” is simply a trade term, and that nephrite jade and jadeite jade are the gemstones commonly called “jade.” :)
How is that jade kind called ? The one in the slab you have for the bangle ? 37:47
Amazing❤❤❤
Hello JOTT, I would like to contact you. How can I contact you?..I sell natural jade from Burma. I want to sell jade to you.
Thank You
My first Jade shape and favorite shape to have Jade in my opinion
Thank you Jordan I find your videos very interesting and informative and have joined the discord.
Ping An Kou is the standard term for this form in contemporary Chinese usage, and is one of the common forms that jadeite pendants are carved into, alongside the Wu Shi Pai (mostly or entirely uncarved block), the laughing Buddha, the Guan Yin, the leaf, the bean. The Ping An Kou was the common name for this form since the Late Ming Dynasty and besides the Bi disc, the alternative hypothesis for its origin is that it's like a traditional coin.
I disagree with the comments about orange peeling. That usually is because the stone is either lower quality or the technique needs to be adjusted. I have had orange peeling only on the 800 and higher grit. So I have to use different pressure for each grit. Sometimes the crystal structure is just not that great for polishing, even with quality jade.
Shang? Isn't that pronounced with a more O sound rather than a nasal ah sound? Maybe this is the difference between Mandarin and Cantonese?
Sorry that I missed your video. Watching it now. Thanks for the video. Very well researched, as usual. Great information. Interesting that China thought of itself and represented itself as a square and heaven was a circle.
very nice video, but why the subtitles are off after live?
@@DaniPaz14 For some reason, it takes longer for StreamYard to process them. They should be up tomorrow! I think it usually takes less than 24hrs
I being a Newbie RockHound and Lapidary Just LOVE to Cab even keeping the Outer skin/Rhine on. I have Discovered that the Skin/Rhine? Has Spectacular Incredible Inclusions.
I am Positive that You Are Aware That Washington State has Both Jadeite and Nephrite. Due to my research I was not Surprised at all to discover that Both exist in WA. ST. The variety of colors are astounding in my opinion.
