Jade plants are not able to tolerate the cold since they are not frost-tolerant. Once temperatures drop below 50ºF, we recommend finding a warmer place for your plant. They will do just fine in temperatures above 75ºF for shorter periods of time.
Real jade should be cold and dense to the touch. If the stone feels light, it is likely that it is fake or some other type of stone.
Stone feels cold to the touch because of its high thermal inertia. Gemologists can use thermal inertia, as well as other thermal properties, for gemstone identification.
Heat from a jeweler's torch can harm jade. Jade is stable to light, and it can be affected by warm acids.
Jade is naturally a very cool stone, so it will feel cold to the touch. Hold it against your face or neck to see if it feels cool against your skin. If it doesn't, then it may be a fake. If you hold the stone against your face for a few minutes, it still shouldn't heat up.
You can store your jade roller in the fridge or in a cabinet. If you store it in a cabinet, wrap it in fabric, or store it in a bag. You want to keep it clean so that it doesn't get bacteria on it, which can then transfer to your facial skin.
They check its level of transparency. They look for even coloration or a pleasing mottling of colors. They also look for fine polish and undistorted surface reflections. Clarity is important, too, because any fractures can strongly affect value.
For jadeite, the intensity of the green color, combined with a high degree of translucency are the key factors in judging value. Stones which are too dark in color or not so translucent are less highly valued.
WEARING YOUR JADE MORE WILL CHANGE ITS COLOUR – FACT OR MYTH? There are many who believe that the more you wear Jade close to the body, it will either turn a richer colour or its colour will start to fade, due to good energy or negative vibrations. However, this is truly only just a myth!

Jade has a cool feeling to the touch and won't heat up even if you rub it against the skin or squeeze it tightly with your palms. Imitation materials are typically warmer because of having plastic or glass that retain heat more easily.
Granite is the best natural stone for cold environments because it has low porosity and ends up protecting the surface where is applied.
If exposed to cold temps, jade plants may drop their leaves.
Water needs: Not as drought-tolerant as other succulent species, Jade likes moist soil—not wet, because you don't want root rot—during the growing season (spring and summer), drier soil during the dormant season (fall and winter).
Low-quality jadeite with poor transparency, such as moss-in-snow, flower green, and extreme pea green jade, is commonly used for bleaching. These poor varieties of jade all reveal their original distinctive characteristics even after bleaching, and some are more visible than others.
The most valuable jade color is known as “imperial jade” and occurs only in jadeite. Imperial jade is a green balanced between blue and yellow hues.
Generally, blue is the color of jade that is the rarest because it comes from only a few deposits found in Guatemala, Japan and Myanmar. Green and lavender jade are more common.
The term 'jade' is actually a catch-all term that encompasses two separate minerals: nephrite, which is more opaque and traditionally used for sculptural objects and ornaments; and jadeite, which is more translucent and can be polished to a high lustre, making it more suitable for jewellery.
Jadeite comes in a broader range of colors than nephrite which only comes in green, white, and yellow. However, jadeite mainly has varying shades of green that range between apple-green and emerald. Jadeite's luster appears more oily, while nephrite luster is vitreous or glassy.
B+C Jade or BC Jade is a combination of polymer/resin impregnation and dye. This jade imposter is almost certain to change color or fade over time.
You can also boost the de-puffing power of a jade roller by putting it in the fridge or freezer before using to get it nice and cool, since coolness also helps reduce swelling.
Whilst jade itself is ambivalent to water in the environment, it is recommended to store your jade jewellery piece with a desiccant if it comprises precious metals.
