Good to know
Trade names are often misleading. “Malaysia jade” is dyed quartz, “Picasso jasper” is a marble. Claimed rarity can only be checked with the exact mineral name. Always ask for the stone's mineral name. See our guides on treatments and on stones people mix up.

Pearls, mother-of-pearl, howlite, malachite, rhodochrosite, fluorite, angelite… A fingernail (2.5) or a coin (about 3.5) can already mark some of them. Wear gently: take the bracelet off for sport, housework or gardening, and store it separately.
