Characteristics of 6mm AA-Quality Canadian Jade

Canadian Jade is a natural gemstone prized for its vibrant green colour, durability, and smooth texture. A 6mm AA-quality Canadian Jade bead typically exhibits the following characteristics:

  • Colour: It displays a consistent medium to deep green tone with minimal variations. The hue is natural and well-saturated, without being overly dark or dull.
  • Clarity: The AA quality implies that the bead may have minor natural inclusions but remains largely smooth and translucent. AAA is more transparent compared to AA.
  • Surface Finish: The bead is polished to a glossy finish, offering a smooth, reflective surface that highlights its rich green colour.
  • Size: Each bead has a diameter of approximately 6 millimetres, making it suitable for delicate jewellery designs such as bracelets, necklaces, and earrings.
  • Origin: Canadian Jade is mined primarily in British Columbia, which is known for producing some of the highest-quality jade in the world.
  • Durability: Jade is a tough stone, resistant to chipping and cracking, making it ideal for everyday wear.

Common Uses

  • Jewellery Making: Popular for creating necklaces, bracelets, earrings, and other accessories.
  • Beadwork: Suitable for various beading techniques, including stringing, knotting, and weaving.

Note: The specific appearance of Canadian Jade can vary slightly due to natural variations in the gemstone.
