Among them, red coral jade is the most precious, which was originally found in Taiwan and has been excavated and is extremely precious.

【Baojie intimate tip: how to maintain coral jade? 】
Coral jade is a type of organic gemstone, which is known to be "fragile". Most of the organic ingredients are unstable and susceptible to various factors, resulting in deterioration, and gemstones are not beautiful. Therefore, coral jade must be carefully maintained.
1. Long-term placement of easy to dry water
Most of the coral jade will be more or less dehydrated and dry after long-term placement. In particular, coral jade, which is dry in itself, will lose its color and luster once it loses water. If the degree of jadeization is higher, the tighter the internal structure, the less likely it is to lose water.
2, too much water will change the texture
Coral jade lost water, and the first reaction was, of course, to soak in water. It is not wrong to know the idea, but it cannot be reckless, because the coral jade cannot be too soaked in water. Especially if the degree of jadeization is high, if it is soaked in water for a long time, it will lead to poor permeability.
Therefore, it is recommended that every once in a while (about a month), you can soak once, and the soaking time is controlled at 1-2 hours to moderately alleviate the "hunger and thirst" state of coral jade.
3. Coral jade wearing is contraindicated
The main component of coral jade is still calcium carbonate, which is unstable in nature. Therefore, usually try to avoid contact with acidic chemicals, cosmetics, sweat, etc., and rinse or wipe clean with water in time after contact.
Most coral jade will undergo subtle changes after being worn closely for a period of time, and will become more and more moist, more and more colorful, and more transparent. However, some people think that coral jade, which has become bright in color, may not be better than the original, which varies from person to person.
Coral jade has better hardness, but it is very similar to jadeite, and it is necessary to avoid heavy blows and collisions to avoid damage.
