Type A Jadeite Bead Necklace, Icy Floating Green, 6.6mm

A long natural Type A jadeite bead necklace in icy texture, floating green (飘绿花) in a clear green-tinted body, beads about 6.6 mm, with a silver-tone metal clasp.

Icy jadeite is fine-grained and highly translucent, so light passes through it with a clear, watery glow. The seller's words were "good texture, plenty of water": each bead is as clear as rock sugar with wisps of green drifting inside, some beads carrying more green and some only a single thread, so the strand reads in varied depths like water plants in a stream. The brighter the light, the livelier the green looks.

This is a long strand: wear it once round as a necklace, or wrap it three times around the wrist as a bracelet. At 6.6 mm the beads are neither heavy nor tiny, delicate at the neck and never bulky on the wrist, and they look fresh with a white T-shirt or a summer dress.

As a natural mineral, jadeite nearly always carries some cotton or stone lines; they do not affect wear. On a phone screen the color of this 6.6 mm floating-green necklace can look stronger or paler than it is, so the video in natural light is the best guide.
