About GENUINE JADE

Jade or jadeite, or yu, as it is called in China, is an ornamental stone.
Jade isa gemstone of unique symbolic energy, and unique
in the myths that surround it. With its beauty and wide-ranging expressiveness,
jade has held a special attraction for mankind for thousands of years.

The English word 'jade' is derived from the Spanish term piedra de ijada
(first recorded in 1565) or 'loin stone', from its reputed efficacy in curing
ailments of the loins and kidneys.

Jade is about the same hardness as quartz, and is exceptionally tough.
Jade has a Mohs hardness of between 6.5 and 7.0. They are beautifully
coloured and can be delicately shaped.

Among the earliest known jade artifacts excavated from prehistoric sites
are simple ornaments with bead, button, and tubular shapes. Additionally, jade
was used for axe heads, knives, and other weapons. As metal-working technologies
became available, the beauty of jade made it valuable for
ornaments and decorative objects.

A early as 3000 B.C. jade was known in China as 'yu', the 'royal
gem'. In the long history of the art and culture of the enormous Chinese
empire, jade has always had a very special significance, roughly comparable
with that of gold and diamonds in the West. Jade was used not only for the
finest objects and cult figures, but also in grave furnishings for high-ranking
members of the imperial family. Today, too, this gem is regarded as a symbol
of the good, the beautiful and the precious. It embodies the
Confucian virtues of wisdom, justice, compassion, modesty and courage,
yet it also symbolises the female-erotic.

However, as long ago as the pre-Columbian period, the Mayas, Aztecs and Olmecs
of Central America also honoured and esteemed jade more highly than gold.
New Zealand's Maoris began carving weapons and cult instruments from native
jade in early times, a tradition which has continued to the present day. In
ancient Egypt, jade was admired as the stone of love, inner peace, harmony
and balance. In other regions and cultures too, jade was regarded
as a lucky or protective stone.

In recent times, jade's perfect interplay of hardness and toughness
with an enchanting range of colours and fine lustre is esteemed all over
the world.

Symbolic energy and beauty, the traditional and the modern are combined
in jade in a particularly harmonious way. And in gemstone therapy it
is said that jade 'stimulates creativity and mental agility on the one
hand, while also having a balancing and harmonising effect.' So this
beautiful gemstone brings us joy, vivacity and happiness all at
the same time – and what, in our times, could we possibly need more?
