Its creamy, pale tone provides a luminous foundation that allows the bracelet's darker elements to read with full intensity.

Its near-opaque depth comes from graphite or iron inclusions within the jadeite matrix, and its surface carries the same characteristic vitreous luster as all fine jadeite — a glassy quality that catches light even in its darkest form. Prized by the ancient Maya and genuinely rare in the contemporary market. Natural and untreated.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBloodstone — Carved Tube (Focal)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBloodstone — a dark green chalcedony flecked with vivid red jasper inclusions — has been carved and worn since ancient Egypt, Greece, and Rome. The tube cut here is deliberately architectural: longer and more linear than a round bead, it introduces a different rhythm into the bracelet and draws the eye as a focal point. Carved by hand, it carries texture and dimension that no machine-cut bead can replicate. The deep green body echoes the jade tones around it; the red flecks introduce warmth and complexity.

Against the smooth round beads of Hetian jade and black Guatemalan jadeite, its carved surface and elongated form create a focal point that is unmistakable without being loud. The pale-and-dark contrast of the two jades provides a sophisticated backdrop; the bloodstone brings craft and history to the foreground. Pairs naturally with silver and oxidized metals, and wears beautifully alongside other carved or jade pieces.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003chr\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCare\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRemove before swimming, bathing, or heavy exercise to preserve the stretch cord\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWipe clean with a soft, dry cloth\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStore flat or loosely coiled — avoid hanging, which can stress the cord over time\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNatural stones may have minor surface variations; these are not flaws — they are proof of origin\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"JADEscape","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47255828660361,"sku":null,"price":120.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0618\/6549\/2617\/files\/IMG_0250_1049d3de-d607-4cf3-a3e7-116e8a85c530.jpg?v=1783904316","url":"https:\/\/jadescape.shop\/products\/hetian-jade-black-guatemalan-jade-carved-bloodstone-tube-stretch-bracelet","provider":"JADEscape","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
