It truly feels like we’re coming full circle! I’m so thankful that this video has finally came to be and I feel like I did a part in making this video come true. Thank you so much for taking some of my idea and turning it to a mini-scientific discussion. Here’s to future videos like this and more!
Absolute newby to what I now gather is a very complex world that is jade! Who knew it was this complex as my first foray into “jade” was New Zealand pounamu or nephrite. These type of technical discussions make me more interested in your world as a I fast fall down the jade rabbit holes. Keep it going, I love it!
Another really nice video. I enjoy both the scientific and artistic aspects of Fei Cui. Especially anything related to Guatemalan jade. Just purchased the book. It’s been on my list since it premiered at the Tucson show.
Okay, I gotta hear the full, unedited interview!! I LOVE Lotus Gemology and have been following them for quite a long time. Can't wait to catch up with them in Tucson!
They are an absolute wealth of information, and were so kind to sit down and talk with me about this fascinating topic. 💚 True gems in our industry. The unedited interview has been uploaded as a podcast episode called “Understanding Fei Cui Jade: Jadeite, Omphacite and Kosmochlor.” Enjoy!!!
So glad you enjoyed the video! Thank you for watching and commenting 😊 I hope to continue diving into complex topics regarding jade and gemstones in the future
So glad you enjoyed the video! Thank you so much for your comment. The pendant I’m wearing is a natural Burmese jadeite jade carving of a lingzhi mushroom from Mason-Kay. It will be featured up-close in a video on lingzhi symbolism in the next week or so.
Absolutely love these educational, technical analysis type videos! ❤❤❤❤ please make more! I know you've covered every topic known to Jade but maybe a video about Indonesian Jade? They have nephrite jade that is green, white and even blue! And they have cats eye Jade and apparently they even have Jadeite. Worth looking into for some video content!
@@JustinTheJadeCarver Thank you so much, I’m glad you enjoy the channel! I would love to do a video all about Indonesian jade. The closest I have right now is a video called Where Does Jade Come From? Ft Freshwater Jade where I show some examples of Indo jade. But the material deserves a deep dive at some point for sure
It’s interesting how science can change how we see something like jade. I like omphacite jade but it can flake. I had a ring that started flaking but it had a distinct pattern I haven’t seen before. Looked like a computer hard drive.
@@mintcrush2042 No, omphacite jade can be very durable. But! It’s hard to call any piece of jade “omphacite,” since each specimen has varying amounts of jadeite, omphacite and kosmchlor that can’t be determined without destroying the specimen. Omphacite Jade is jade - as much as Jadeite Jade is jade - we just can’t really tell them apart. Fei Cui Jade’s (jadeite jade and omphacite jade) durability has more to do with how many times it metamorphised, or formed, because it’s toughness is largely dependent on the size of it’s crystalline microstructure. Usually, lower quality jade (larger crystals) is less durable than high quality jade (small crystals). And highly translucent jade is the most durable. Kaylan’s article on Lotus Gemology website can give you much more info on this! :)
Sir can i have your help?...it's about my very old jade. I know that this is a real jade but there is some buyer said that my jade have no value. Hard to believe them saying that.
@@ericbabcock846 one jade person I knew....says hi quality imperial jade is clear and you can read print thru quarter inch thick slab....does Burma have the most this quality known? Tc
I have a blue jadeite bi pendant fro Guatemala. I believe it’s partially omphacite. This particular variety is called ‘midnight snow’ ‘princessa’ it’s not really available anymore, just tried looking online there’s nothing. I got it a few years ago. Glad I got it bc it rly has a beautiful look and energy. I swear it saved my life when I got Covid. I was wearing it out dancing when Covid HIT. In literally sat there rubbing it asking it to spare me, I felt death approaching, still traumatized lol haven’t been back to that spot. Anyway i ended up riding my bike back home in the rain at midnight. I thought I’d definitely die. I had to ride so hard to keep up my body heat. When I went to bed I acknowledged that I might pass in the night. Next morning I woke up perfectly healthy. It really saved me. 😭

Can make payment a different way?
@@MadManVideoGame I’m not sure, honestly. You might reach out to Lotus directly, they’ll be able to answer your questions. 😊
@@JewelsoftheTrade ok, I will do that
@@JewelsoftheTrade I also want to learn where to sell jade do you have a connection?
@@MadManVideoGame Is your jade rough or polished? Set in metal? How many pieces?
Wow, your channel is probably the best English-language video resource about jade anywhere on the internet.
@@BryanCheong Thank you!!! 😊
Well, that was absolutely amazing to learn. A good gemologist is always learning.
@@rogerhargreaves2272 So glad you enjoyed the video! 😊

This was great - also, I love the bright green carving you are wearing!
Yes I totally love learning the differences between the 3 types of Fei Cui, please keep teaching us ❤🙏

Thank you so much for this informative video, as well as your other great videos! BTW, I really love your pendant. What kind of jade is it? Thank you.

Useful information, guys, thanks!

Does this mean omphacite isn't durable?

@@mintcrush2042 I think it was just this particular piece. Perhaps it was cut out of the rind that had some weathering.
wow its so deep conversation about jadeite ,,thq for the info ,,succes
Thank goodness I was not the only one confused with what (jade) is lol
You were definitely not the only one! Jade is surprisingly complicated. The best things in life always are, I think 😜
No one Jade is alike.....each is unique
Sir can i have your help?...it's about my very old jade. I know that this is a real jade but there is some buyer said that my jade have no value. Hard to believe them saying that.
I have mine of different colours
Which color is your favorite? 🤩
Awesome thank you EB
Burma is best home of known jades?
yes
How to buy the books?
Check out the link in the video description 😊 They may be running low on stock…I hope you can still get a copy! It’s incredible!
@@JewelsoftheTrade can you make a pay different way? Like debit or credit
nice!
Gold is highly valued but Jadeite is priceless
Yes!!!! 🙌🏻💚
🔥Another Informative Video🔥 Superb 🔥💯☑️
Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed it!!
No such thing as imperial or pure imperial jade/jadeite .....is highest known quality......?
The pure clear green rivaling emerald green is carved out of host rock or Omphacite
