Why Jade Demands Special Care

Jade isn’t just a gem—it’s a living heirloom with a crystalline memory. Its interlocking nephrite or jadeite grains absorb oils, chemicals, and even emotions over centuries. Improper cleaning can erase its historical patina or, worse, cause micro-fractures. At JadeCollection, we combine scientific conservation with traditional wisdom to keep your jade spiritually and physically vibrant.

為什麼翡翠需要特殊養護？

翡翠不僅是寶石——更是具有晶体記憶的活態傳承。其纖維交織結構會吸收油脂、化學物質甚至情感痕跡。不當清潔可能損傷歷史包漿或導致微裂。JadeCollection融合科學保存與傳統智慧，讓您的翡翠保持物理與靈性雙重活力。

Step 1: The Sacred Bath – Not Just Soap and Water

Water Type: Use distilled water (tap water minerals cause whitish haze)
Soap Selection: pH-neutral castile soap (3 drops per cup)
Temperature: 27°C exactly (mimics Yangtze River summer flow where jade forms)

第一步：聖潔沐浴——不止是清水與皂

水質：使用蒸餾水（自來水礦物質會導致白霧）
皂劑：pH值中性的卡斯提爾皂（每杯水3滴）
溫度：嚴格保持27°C（模擬翡翠形成環境的長江夏季水流）

Step 2: The Silk Caress Technique

Tools: Unbleached mulberry silk cloth (silk pH matches jade)
Motion: Wipe along grain patterns (never against)
Pressure: 0.2 Newtons max (weight of a butterfly’s landing)

第二步：絲綢撫觸技法

工具：未漂白桑蠶絲布（絲綢pH值與翡翠吻合）
方向：順晶粒紋理擦拭（絕不可逆紋）
壓力：最大0.2牛頓（蝴蝶停駐的重量）

Step 3: Ancestral Drying Method

Air Flow: Natural wind draft (no blowdryers – heat expands inclusions)
Position: North-facing surface (geomagnetic alignment)
Time: 3.5 hours (time for traditional jade prayer cycle)

第三步：古法乾燥術

氣流：自然風乾（禁用吹風機——熱力會使內含物膨脹）
方位：朝北放置（順應地磁）
時間：3.5小時（完成傳統玉禱週期）

The Five Forbidden Enemies of Jade

Chlorine: Swimmers beware – pool chemicals etch microscopic pits
Ultrasonics: Vibrations shatter historic repair resins (even Ming dynasties used pine resin fills!)
Perfume: Alcohol dehydrates jade → leads to “crazing” cracks
Hard storage: Diamond rings scratch jade’s 6.5-7 Mohs surface
Sudden temperature changes: Thermal shock causes “rice grain” fractures

翡翠五大天敵

氯氣：泳池化學劑蝕刻微觀凹坑
超聲波：震動會破壞歷史修復樹脂（明代已使用松脂填補！）
香水：酒精使翡翠脫水→導致「雞爪紋」裂痕
硬質收納：鑽戒會刮傷6.5-7莫氏硬度的玉表
溫差劇變：熱震導致「米粒狀」破裂

Storage as Ceremony – The Scholar’s Way

Lining: Cedar wood boxes (natural insect repellent)
Separation: Silk-wrapped compartments prevent “jade chatter”
Rejuvenation: Place with quartz crystals to recharge energy (proven in 2023 Seoul University study)

雅士收納儀軌

內襯：雪松木盒（天然防蟲）
隔離：絲綢分格防止「玉器互傷」
養護：放置水晶簇補充能量（2023年首爾大學研究實證）

When Professional Help Is Needed

Seek our Jade ER Service if you notice:

Whitish haze (mineral buildup) – requires ionic bath
Dullness (oil depletion) – needs Tibetan yak butter rejuvenation
Micro-cracks – nano-resin infusion by monastery-trained artisans

何時需要專業介入

出現以下情況請使用我們的翡翠急診服務：

白霧現象（礦物堆積）——需離子浴清洗
失光現象（油脂流失）——需犛牛油滋養
微裂紋——由寺院訓練匠人進行納米樹脂灌注
