JADE


Jade

Jade exists in a variety of colors, the most popular being green or white. It is found in two forms, jadeite and nephrite.

The Chinese have used it in carvings for many centuries and many ancient peoples have used it for making implements. It has been associated with the virtues of charity, modesty, courage, justice, and wisdom. Many healing powers have been attributed to it.

Jadeite is found in upper Myanmar, in Japan, and in Guatemala; nephrite in New Zealand, Turkistan, Siberia, China, Silesia, Wyoming, California, and British Columbia.
