The jet (black amber), with its deep black depth and smooth texture, evokes a sense of mysterious elegance and subtle protection. This organic stone not only shines with exquisite beauty, but it is also a symbol of transformation and rebirth.
-
Organic Origin: The jet is a form of lignite, which is a particularly old organic rock, formed from fossilized plant material. Unlike many other gemstones that are mineral, the jet is the result of the transformation of ancient vegetation, especially conifers, which were buried under sediments and underwent compression and charring processes.
-
Structure: The jet has a porous structure, with a low density and a smooth texture. This structure contributes to its ease of processing and its uniform appearance. Although it has a predominantly black color, the jet can vary in shades from dark brown to deep black.
-
Physical Properties: The jet is quite light compared to other semi-precious stones, having a low hardness, which makes it easier to shape and sculpt. At the same time, it makes it even more vulnerable to scratches and damage, requiring proper care.
-
Training Process: The jet formation process takes millions of years. Ancient vegetation, covered by sediments and subjected to high pressure and temperature, gradually turns into a solid and dense substance, while retaining the organic characteristics of the original material.
-
Properties and benefits: The jet is known for its protective and cleaning properties. It is believed to help absorb negative energies and promote a sense of calm and emotional stability. It is also associated with personal transformation and rebirth.
-
Uses: The jet is used in jewellery, such as Necklaces and Bracelets, and in the decorative objects.
