This Guatemalan Glassy Jadeite image of Buddha Pendant is a masterclass in both material quality and spiritual craftsmanship. Carved from a rare, top-tier Guatemalan jadeite, this piece boasts a stunning watery translucent "glassy" variety that captures and glows with ambient light. A serene, ethereal blue-water (Lan Shui) tone, offering a cool and calming aesthetic that shifts beautifully under different lighting conditions. The subtle poetic blue tone combining with the super transparent texture, the whole piece is presenting pure and peaceful atmosphere.
High-grade Guatemalan jadeite often differs from classic Burmese material by showing a cooler blue-gray tone with icy fluorescence and ethereal internal texture. The snowflake pattern here complements that signature aesthetic extremely well.
The most remarkable feature of this grassy jadeite is its top grade transparency. Exceptional water-head (translucency), allowing light to pass through the stone, highlighting its internal purity and smooth grain. It is so transparent that when you hold the pendant from the back of the pendant you can see your finger easily from the front side.
The “snowflake” inclusions in this piece are a strong contributor to its character and collectability rather than a detraction, especially within high-transparency Guatemalan jadeite.
Professionally speaking, the inclusions appear as soft, cloud-like crystalline aggregates suspended within an exceptionally glassy matrix. In Guatemalan jadeite, this type of internal texture is often associated with natural polycrystalline jadeite formation rather than artificial filling or synthetic growth structures. The inclusions create a drifting, snow-mist effect that gives the carving depth and spatial movement under directional light.
These natural formed charming snow flakes inclusions also contribute a Three-dimensional visual effect
In carvings with deep relief like this Bodhisattva figure, the inclusions interact with the sculptural layers. Notice how the white blooms sit behind the robe folds and lotus-seat area, creating depth similar to icy vapor trapped inside water. This is especially attractive under spot lighting.
The image of Buddha is a timeless symbol of peace, protection, and enlightenment. In jade culture, wearing a pendant with the image of Buddha is believed to bring good fortune, ward off negative energy, and keep the wearer grounded in compassion and wisdom.
I should say this is A rare collector’s piece that embodies the "glassy" perfection of modern jadeite treasures.
The size of the pendant is medium with lightweight, perfect for men or women daily wearing. Hand braided with high quality silver colour silk string with 28 inches full length, the necklace is adjustable with hand braided for comfortable daily wearing.
