Why is there always a glass of water on the counter in a jade shop?

One of the more important things to note when maintaining jade is to maintain moist air. Jade will indeed become more sparkling and attractive under the sunlight, but it should not be overexposed to the sun. Long-term exposure to the sun will cause jade to lose moisture easily, and it will look less moist.

Jade counters are usually equipped with lights, which can maintain a certain light and temperature while showing the most beautiful side of the jade. However, the light is in a closed glass counter, and over time the temperature inside will rise and the humidity will decrease accordingly.

Jade is a natural jade. As a raw stone, it is naturally accustomed to lying in abundant water sources, so there is a lot of crystal water inside the jade. These crystal waters are easily decomposed and evaporated in high temperature, dryness and other environments. This is commonly known in the industry as "water loss". The color of jade that has lost water will naturally become much darker and less moist.

Therefore, put a few cups of water in the jade counter, so as to maintain a certain humidity and lower the temperature to a certain extent, so as to maintain the luster and beauty of the jade. Don't underestimate this glass of water, it plays a very important role. Some smart merchants use colored water, usually blue or green. In addition to increasing the refraction of light, it also makes the jade appear brighter.
