Because of tectonic plates float, they move and occasionally collide with one another, when the lower plate take the stone to depths where the necessary intense pressure, heat and minerals will eventually form it into jade. A high pressure, low temperature metamorphic environment is necessary to form the jadeite. The delicacy of its design doesn’t imply the production of the necklace is simple.
