First and foremost, there is uniqueness.
Natural jade is one-of-a-kind in terms of pattern, color, and other characteristics. Jade's prominent reputation is due to its one-of-a-kind nature. Whether it's the affluent and famous or the middle-class elite who desire a unique temperament in their homes, jade, as a natural product, has the unmistakable quality that best fits the demand for a unique temperament and accentuates its nobility. Ceramic tiles or fake stone tiles, on the other hand, have the same pattern and are not strange to humans, but can only become regular consumer items due to their high reproducibility and assembly-line production technique. Even if there are variants or imitations of natural items, artificial traces will always be there. Tile texture and color, for example, are artificially created, appearing the same, and there are more knockoff items between companies.
Second, there's the issue of permanence.
Natural jade was generated over a billion years ago, in the late Middle Ages. Carbonate deposition, crustal movement, high-temperature magma dissolution, crystallization by alteration, water washing, transport, and precipitation have all occurred over time to generate jade ore. The natural essence of the test of time, each item represents the dedication of nature. Jadestone is delicate and solid, encapsulating nature's wonderful work. Tile and imitation marble tiles are fast-processing fast-food products that cannot be discussed in terms of time accumulation.
Scarcity is the third element.
The jade used for decoration is nephrite, with a Mohs hardness of 3; it is widely distributed in the southern foothills of the Himalayas and the Andes, with the scientific name "calcite jade," also known as "carbonate jade," or "onyx jade," due to Himalayan orogenic movement, resulting in geological plate activity, the formation of jade ore; it is widely distributed in the Himalayan orogenic movement, resulting Natural jade used for decoration is imported from other countries, and due to the limited resources of the mines where it is mined, the difficulty of transportation, and the local government's protection of jade resources, the amount of jade available for the Chinese market is quite limited, making it "precious because it is rare." Natural jade is the most expensive and scarce item in the "ecological chain" of decorative materials.
On the contrary, after the tile industry's rapid rise in recent years, the entire industry has been in a situation of oversupply, overcapacity, and even some poor items have appeared in the decorating market, undermining customer confidence and becoming the decoration market's black sheep.
