No, jade does not get lighter over time. Jade is a very durable stone and its color is generally stable. However, the appearance of jade can change due to factors like:
- Exposure to sunlight: Prolonged exposure to sunlight can cause some jade to fade slightly, especially lighter shades.
- Cleaning: Using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners can damage the surface of jade and make it appear duller.
- Polishing: Over time, the polish on jade can wear away, making it appear less vibrant.
While these factors can affect the appearance of jade, they do not change the actual color of the stone. Jade remains the same color, even if it appears less vibrant or brighter due to these external factors.
