Sunlight can potentially damage jade, but the extent of the damage depends on the type of jade and the intensity of the sunlight.
- Jadeite, a type of jade known for its durability and resistance to heat, can withstand moderate sunlight exposure. However, prolonged exposure to intense direct sunlight can cause fading or discoloration over time.
- Nephrite, another type of jade, is more susceptible to damage from sunlight. Excessive exposure can cause cracks or fractures in the stone.
It's generally recommended to avoid exposing jade to direct sunlight for extended periods, especially during the hottest parts of the day. Instead, display jade in a well-lit area with indirect sunlight or diffused light.
If you notice any changes in your jade, such as discoloration or cracks, it's best to consult with a jeweler or gemologist for professional advice.
