Two-Tone Celestial & Imperial Green Jadeite Heart Pendant — Rare Guatemalan Jade

Within a single stone, two worlds meet.
This heart pendant is hand-cut from a single slice of Guatemalan jadeite that carries two distinct color expressions — cool, watery Celestial greens shifting into deep Imperial veining — within the same piece. This duality is not engineered; it is a rare natural phenomenon that occurs only in the finest jadeite from the Motagua River Valley, where mineral conditions align just so to produce this breathtaking transition. The stone's natural translucency allows both colors to glow when backlit, alive with depth and movement.
Shaped into a heart form and polished entirely by hand in our small Ohio workshop, this pendant is the product of traditional lapidary methods — no CNC, no automation. The jade is sourced from the same valley where ancient Maya artisans once carved their most sacred objects, gathered without heavy machinery and with deep respect for the land.
Every curve of the heart is worked slowly by hand until the stone's full character is revealed.

What is Imperial Green jade?
ImperialGreen is the most prized color grade in jadeite — a vivid, evenly saturated green produced by trace chromium in the stone's crystal structure.TrueImperialGreen is highly translucent,with a depth of color that seems to glow from within.AtJADEscape, when we carry ImperialGreen material, it is always TypeA — natural and untreated.
