Shata Cui (also called Shetai Yu), known as beauty jade. It is said to be the oldest natural stone in China.

Origin: China, Inner Mongolia

The main component of Shetai Cui is silicon dioxide, SiO2 quartz jade. Its density is 2.659/cm³, and its hardness is 7, placing it in the category of hard jade, often used for carving.

Excavated since 2007, it shares properties similar to jadeite. It was officially named Shetai Cui (shē, tài, cuì) after the local town Shetai Zhen where it originates, with Cui (meaning green/jade) added to the end.

Its aging process is more pronounced than jadeite, allowing you to enjoy a richer luster and sheen over time♪ Compared to jadeite, it offers a wider range of colors, is easier to achieve a glossy finish, and is more affordable.

It contains various trace elements and is said to help balance the mind and body, providing a calming effect.

With daily contact, it becomes more lustrous.
