Jade Slabs

Magnetite Jade Slabs
Magnetite Jade has magnetite crystals in the dark to black jade base. This makes magnetite jade a beautiful and unusual stone. Once a cabochon is cut from this material, the magnetite portion can be gold plated, which makes for an outstanding gem.
Jade has been revered for thousands of years in both the Orient and the New World. Although jade has a reputation of being hard to polish, it polishes well with diamond and takes a high polish with chrome oxide. We've found that 14,000 grit Superpolish polishes jade in a snap. We sell this fantastic diamond compound on the polishes page of our Cabbingmachines.com website.
