Jade is a durable and ornamental gemstone prized for its unique colors and cultural significance. It is actually composed of two different minerals: nephrite and jadeite, both known for their toughness. Jade comes in various shades of green, but it can also be found in lavender, white, yellow, and black. It has been used for thousands of years in jewelry, carvings, and ceremonial objects.

Fun fact: In ancient Mesoamerican cultures like the Maya and Aztec, jade was highly esteemed and considered more valuable than gold. It was associated with life, fertility, and power, often reserved for royalty and spiritual leaders. The Chinese also revered jade, believing it possessed protective and healing properties. Jade artifacts, such as burial suits made entirely of jade pieces, have been discovered in ancient Chinese tombs, illustrating the stone's enduring significance throughout history.
