Before making a collection decision, it's important to make sure that the rough you're picking is of exceptional quality. For this reason, it is recommended that you seek help from a reputable jadeite store or dealer, and listen to the opinions and analysis of professionals to improve the ability to distinguish the quality of jadeite from the fake. Genuine, high-quality rough stones usually have the advantages of bright color, wide transparency, significant texture image, and small number of impurities.
Then, before starting to collect, please use warm water at about 40 degrees Celsius combined with a soft brush to gently clean the surface of the rough jadeite, and completely remove all contaminated dust and debris. During the cleaning process, care should not be made to use too drastic cleaning reagents, so as not to prematurely damage the original surface state of the jadeite.

Therefore, we should take steps to keep the rough jadeite in our collection in a humid environment, or use a specially designed humidor to keep it in good condition.
When it comes to maintenance, regular inspections and maintenance details are very important. You can choose a cotton cloth with a delicate texture to gently wipe the rough jadeite to keep it lustre.

From a physical point of view, the environment in which the rough jadeite is stored plays a decisive role in its state of preservation and its potential for future appreciation. Indoors, it is necessary to avoid direct sunlight and high temperature environment as much as possible to prevent cracks or color changes in the internal molecular structure of jadeite due to thermal expansion and contraction. It is recommended to store the rough jadeite in a moderate humidity environment and try to avoid too much moisture or excessive humidity. It is also necessary to avoid contact between the rough stone and hard objects to prevent scratches and collisions. Therefore, it is a very clear choice to find a place with good air circulation, suitable temperature and relative safety as a place to collect rough jadeite.
