"Type A" refers to 100% natural jadeite that has not undergone any chemical treatments (like bleaching or polymer injection) or artificial dyeing.
Visual Characteristics
• Color Profile: This bracelet displays a warm, honey-yellow to "mustard" hue. In jadeite, this color is caused by natural inclusions of iron minerals (limonite/hematite) within the stone's skin.
• Texture & Luster: The beads show a greasy to vitreous (glass-like) luster, which is a hallmark of genuine jadeite. The surface appears smooth with high-quality polishing.
• Inclusions: Looking closely, there are subtle variations in color intensity across the beads. This "mottling" is a strong indicator of natural origin, as synthetic or dyed stones often look too perfectly uniform.
