Ma Passion works with an extensive selection of intricately carved stones like crystal carvings, Ganesh carvings, rare precious and semi-precious gemstones. Ma Passion has been preserving this exquisite ancient Indian art since 2001. Ma Passion’s three channels for preserving Indian artistry are miniature paintings, gemstone carvings, and designer gemstone jewellery.
Each item has been made with strong attention to detail, showing the skill that the kaarigars’ ancestors handed down to them. This ancient art is evolving with innovative methods and precision instruments to produce unique works of art and carvings on gemstones. Ma Passion has effectively revived India’s ancient craft of gemstone carving by empowering and encouraging Indian legacy artisans.
A black jade, also known as black jadeite, is a type of jade that contains dark minerals such as black hornblende jade and omphacite jade, as well as graphite and iron oxide. There are two types of black jades: nephrite jade and black jadeite. As a result, when it comes to black colour in jade, it is the only jade that contains both nephrite and jadeite.
Black jade is essentially a darker version of multi-colored jade. As a result, black is not a true colour but the result of the absorption of all colours, a feature that lends this stone a mesmerising power of its own.
A genuine piece of black jade has perfect cleavage, a dull to waxy lustre, a massive crystal system, and an opaque to translucent transparency. The hardness of this gemstone is similar to that of quartz allowing it to be carved magnificently and polished to a lustrous capacity.
Black jade can be used to make gemstone rings, pendants, bracelets, earrings, necklaces, and statuettes. Because of its hardness, it is possible to cut chains from solid blocks of stone, and even paper-thin designs are possible, making it a carvers delight. For centuries, jade has been a popular material for making plates, bowls, and vases.
Ma Passion sources their black jade from the USA, China, Italy, Myanmar, Russia, Australia, and the Middle East.
At Ma Passion, you can witness the beauty of Black Jade carved into a Radha-Krishna carving. Radha-Krishna is beautifully carved in this piece of Australian Black Jade. The Australian treasure is transformed by our master kaarigar into a work of art that honours eternal love in all its splendour.
