Jade Cutting Simulator

Return home to take over your grandfather's jade workshop. Follow each piece from a rough stone to a finished order: inspect the material, choose your cuts, plan your work, and manage the shop's time and money.

Read the stone before you cut

Rotate each stone to examine its outer rind, exposed jade, and surface cracks. Move your flashlight to compare the glow and see whether a line blocks the light. An illustrated guide and practice questions help you learn what to look for. What lies beneath the surface is still yours to discover.

Choose your cut. Reveal the jade.

Mark a cutting line, clamp the stone, and guide the saw into it. Grind away the rind, rinse the surface, and turn the pieces to inspect the newly exposed jade. Discover shades of blue, lavender, and golden yellow, with varying translucency. A newly revealed crack may change what you decide to make.

Find a place for your next piece

Place templates on a cut face, choose a size, and adjust their position and depth to make bangles, disc pendants, plaques, or rabbit and fox carvings. The stone's color and flaws carry through to the finished piece, so your choice of material matters. Keep working with the stone left over after crafting.

Run a workshop of your own

Name your workshop, stamp the shop agreement, and list your creations online. When a buyer places an order, ship it to receive payment. Read custom requests, select material for a matching pair of pendants, and deliver work that meets the customer's requirements. Plan your days around crafting time, stone purchases, rent, and deadlines.
