Material History
Yukon B.C. Jade History/Information:
British Columbia jade is found from the south all the way to the Alaskan boarder. Much of the jade I work with comes from the Yukon territory. The colors vary from opaque dark green to clear water jade. All colors and inclusions are found and some of the bright green inclusions from the Cassiar area have a wonderful contrast. It is common to have black chromite spots or inclusions. Some of the best jade from these areas are considered some of the best nephrite jade in the world and fetch top dollar.
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.
