www.aypearl.com give you general overview of Jade
In ancient times, just as today,
jade was used for personal
adornment. Rings, bracelets,
pendants, beads, and other
personal ornaments all caved
from jade appear very early in
history.
The ring disk - a symbol of heaven - is worn as a talisman even today.
Jade bracelets believed to offer protection against rheumatism are still
worn in some parts of China.
Jade has long been treasured in China as the gemstone associated with
royalty. Due to jade's extreme hardness, it possibly may have once been
used to craft tools and weapons early in history. However, jade is also
very brittle, and the early jade artifacts that have been uncovered appear
to have had symbolic purposes as opposed to practical ones. fashion

Knives, daggers, and scepters crafted from jade were used in religious or
military ceremonies in China. Similarly, the Maori of New Zealand used
clubs of jade to represent authority.
Jade is prized for its hardness, glassy luster, and rich translucent colors.
While it’s most popular color is green, which is usually a rich and intense
green with a greasy finish, Jade can actually come in a wide variety of
colors including white, grey, yellow and orange. costume jewelry
When pricing jade the overall color is the most important factor, though
attention is also paid to the translucency, texture, and also to pattern in the
stone.
Certain patterns, such as the one called "moss in snow", are highly
valued. Jade historically comes from two distinct minerals jadeite and
nephrite, today it is jadeite jade that is considered the genuine article,
commanding much higher prices than nephrite because it comes in far
more vivid green colors and has a finer translucency.
Jade of one type or another can be found in Burma, China, Central
America, Brazil, Canada, Japan, India, Siberia, Finland, Tanzania, and
elsewhere; in the United Sates, it occurs in California as well as in the

northeast and southwest of the country.
