Jade/Jadeit

Jade is a precious gemstone that has been highly valued in many cultures for thousands of years. There are two main types of jade: jadeite and nephrite. Jadeite, also known as "true jade," is rare and comes in vivid shades of green. Nephrite, also known as "China jade" or "serpentine," is more common and has a wider range of colors, including greens, whites, grays, and even browns.

Jade has a smooth texture and a soft translucency that makes it a desirable material for jewelry and crafts. It is often made into pendants, bracelets, earrings and carvings. Jade is also a significant stone in Chinese culture and is considered a symbol of beauty, wisdom and virtue.

China jade, also known as serpentine, is a variety of jade that is widely used in China and other parts of the world. It is characterized by its variety of colors and patterns, including various shades of green and natural inclusions and shading. China jade is often used for sculptures, vases and jewelry.

Jade is valued for its energetic properties and is associated with harmony, luck, and spiritual clarity. It is considered a protective stone and is said to promote balance of the body and mind. Jade is also valued for its long-lasting nature and symbolic meaning, making it a sought-after gemstone for collectors and jewelry lovers.
