Genesis of dark green stones
The formation of hidden jade is very complicated. Four or five hundred million years ago, the physical and chemical reflection of underground magma occurred continuously, which made the composition of rock layers complex and diverse, and formed basaltic greenstone with rich mineral content. After the volcanic eruption magma cooled and solidified, the basaltic greenstone on the mountain rolled down the Yarlung Zangbo River due to crustal changes such as melting icebergs and earthquakes.
The stones left in this river have been repeatedly hit, washed and polished by snow and ice for thousands of years, forming a dark green or bright green jadeite stone with hard and bright surface, moist and delicate surface and different shades.
Because the formation of hidden jade is complex, rich in trace elements and rich in stripes, it is very difficult to make artificial fraud. The unique attributes of Tibetan jade also exempt collectors from worrying about the authenticity of Tibetan jade.
