Purple – Imperial Colour of Elegance
In ancient China, purple was often used in Taoist symbols and for the imperial royalties. Purple is a mysterious, rich and elegant colour. Purple Jadeite of high quality is very rare and loved by many.
The generation process for the purple hue in jadeite is as mysterious, the reason for it not clearly known. Some say it is the potassium found in the chemical makeup that makes the colour. However, this would nof keep us from admiring its curious beauty and elegance.
