The JADE thread!

[2boys_jademommy]

This is what I have read also. A true fu lu shou has approximately equal proportions of red (or yellow, as it is considered in the red family because the color is caused by the presence of iron in both), green and lavender. Obviously, this is very rare to find and very expensive, especially when the colors are vibrant and the texture is good.

I always though fu lu shou was green, white and red/yellow - didn't realize it was lavender.
I wonder if there is a name for 4 colours - white, green, lavender and red/yellow......
I do know fu lu shou is supposed to represent luck/prosperity, wisdom and longevity.
Add that to my wish list lol!

Luna is a beauty Molly I believe another Jadie here has a bangle named Luna.
It's very dreamy and soft looking.

Ah thanks! I thought of a moonglow right out of the package.
Now I have to go look up the other "Luna".

It is a jade lock charm pendant -- you can read more about it here.

The back of the charm has the Chinese symbol for longevity.

These are seller's pics. I do hope it's jade! The clasps and chain looks like Tibetan silver, too.

Very cool pendant, Red! Are you getting it?

Luna has arrived from UJ! I'm in like, but not in love. Guess I wanted more black, but I'm sure she'll grow more and more on me.

Ah. Jade4me it's you! The two bangles couldn't be more different. Haha!
Hope you don't mind.

I took this definition from lotusgemology website and palagems website, but others may define fu lu shou differently. I think any grade a jade with 3-4 colors is pretty rare and why there are so many dyed ones out there.

In the daylight beside the window I see hints of aqua:

Very nice, Molly and she looks like a good fit!

jademommy, jade with 4 colors is known as 'da si xi', but white is not one of the colors of da si xi. it should be green, red, lavender and yellow.

Gorgeous statement necklace Red! Love it!

I rec'd one of Suzannes's Corner's "A Jadeite" bangles recently.
Meet "Luna". She is supposed to be white but has hints of Aqua in certain light.

luna is very pretty, molly. very soft and serene looking
