Why does jade turn yellow after being worn for a long time?

As the saying goes: Jade nourishes people, people nourish jade. Many people think that jade becomes greener and more transparent the more it is worn, and they do not deny this statement. However, some people's jade was obviously of good quality when they bought it, but why does it become yellower after wearing it for many years?

1. Why does jade turn yellow after being worn for a long time?

It was originally a very good piece of jade, but after wearing it for a long time, it did not become greener but turned yellow instead. What happened? In fact, this is a variation of jadeite. First of all, we must make it clear that jade variation is a normal natural phenomenon, which occurs in all natural minerals. It is not caused by any major external reasons, and it has no special effects on the human body.

2. Will all jade mutate?

Generally speaking, it is mainly related to the "species" of jade. The finer the mineral particles are and the denser the structure, we say that the "species" of jade is older. The older jade has a higher density, very good wear resistance and durability, and is not easy to mutate. On the contrary, jade with low density and poor wear resistance and durability, that is, the "tender" type, will easily cause the liquid adsorbents in the internal crystal gaps to evaporate, and it will be more likely to dry out and age.

3. How to tell whether jade has any variants?

If the jade is a variant, it is easy to see that it generally has characteristics such as difficult to distinguish its origin, light specific gravity, poor luster, blackish green, dryness, and yellowish color.

4. Can it be saved? How?

In fact, it is very simple. Some jades turn yellow not because of mutation, but because of oxidation. They can be restored to their original state after polishing. Regardless of whether this is the case or not, it is recommended that everyone should first send the jade to the shop for re-cleaning, waxing and polishing, and many of them will look brand new. In addition, you should also pay attention to maintenance in your daily life to avoid the occurrence of mutations.
