If you only have a piece of jadeite raw stone, how should you maintain it and prevent it from depreciating?

Normally, we come across many methods of jade maintenance, but most of them are for jade finished products. If you are lucky enough to own a piece of jade rough stone and want to maintain its value, do you know how to maintain it?

In fact, the maintenance method of raw stones is very simple and not as complicated as you think. Just remember three points: place it properly, avoid moving it, and replenish moisture.

Proper placement

It is best to place jadeite raw stones indoors, avoiding corrosive environments such as acids and alkalis, and avoiding bumps. It is best not to place jadeite raw stones outdoors, because if placed outdoors, the surface of the jadeite raw stones will easily weather and crack due to wind and sun exposure. If exposed to rain for a long time, the texture of the jadeite will also easily change. Placing it indoors can effectively solve this problem. In addition, placing it indoors can prevent high temperature and exposure to the sun, which can prevent the jade from losing moisture, losing its luster, and causing it to dry out and crack.

Avoid moving

However, after placing the jadeite rough stone indoors, do not move it frequently. This is because the rough stone has a skin on the outside and is fragile. It is easy to break when moved. Frequent moving may also cause the rough stone to crack due to accidental bumps, affecting its value. Causing irreparable losses. Jadeite raw stones should be moved as little as possible, and care should be taken during daily cleaning to ensure that the jadeite raw stones are not bumped.

Stay hydrated

If the jadeite raw stone is cut, it is best to wrap its surface with a clean white cotton cloth to avoid dust, and then store it in a clean place with appropriate humidity. However, it should be noted that jade will lose water if left idle for a long time, so every few months or at least half a year, you should take it out and soak it in clean water for a day or two to replenish water.
