Jade

Jade is a semi precious gemstone, which is further classified into two categories named Jadeite and Nephrite. Jadeite is rarer than nephrite and is therefore regarded as more precious. Jade stones are found in green, lavender, red, yellow, white and black colors with a translucent and waxy lusture. Burma, USA and China are the major sources of Jade. Jade is most highly valued in Chinese culture today. The philosopher Confucius reportedly expressed this fascination by making jade a metaphor for virtue, kindness, wisdom, justice, civility, music, sincerity, truth, Heaven and Earth. It is believed to possess the power to avert evil and bad luck while fostering health and good fortune.

Jade refers to an ornamental mineral, mostly known for its green varieties. It can refer to either of two different silicate minerals: nephrite (a silicate of calcium and magnesium in the amphibole group of minerals), or jadeite (a silicate of sodium and aluminium in the pyroxene group of minerals). Jade is featured prominently in East Asian, South Asian and Southeast Asian art, but also has an important place in many other cultures. Jade has been regarded by the Chinese as ‘the musical gem par excellence’, and has been used as a percussion instrument for centuries. The imperial court in China had nephrite chimes and bells designed to ring specific tones.
