Jadestein

Jade stone is a true gem of the natural world. Its distinctive green hue is created by the presence of iron, magnesium, and other metallic compounds that produce a stunning array of colors and reflections. Formed deep within the Earth's tectonic plate boundaries, jade stone is a rare and highly sought-after material that has been treasured by cultures around the world for centuries.

In the aquascaping world, jade stone is a unique and versatile material that adds a fresh and unique touch to any aquascape. The singular color and shape of the stone are ideal for creating an Iwagumi style aquascape, and the texture and shades of green are deeply enhanced underwater, creating a stunning visual effect that is both soothing and mesmerizing.

Jade stone can be easily crafted and broken to create small stone details and landslides, making it an ideal material for creating intricate and detailed aquascapes. Its highly sought after and rare nature, combined with its stunning beauty, make it a prized possession among aquascaping enthusiasts.

Unlike some other stones, jade stone does not affect water hardness, making it a safe and ideal choice for aquascaping. However, due to its limited supply and high demand, it can be difficult to obtain. If you are lucky enough to get your hands on some jade stone, consider yourself fortunate and keep them as a collector’s item as may be not available in the future.
