The Colors Of Jade
Certain colors of jadeite, the
newer jade, are highly valued as gem material. The emerald colored
“Imperial green,” along with lavender, rare blue, yellow and red are
the most sought after colors of jadeite.
Jade: The Living Stone
It is seductive, mysterious, addictive–it’s jade. People have died for it. Legends surround it. A Chinese emperor once offered 15 cities for a jade carving so small that it fit in the palm of his hand. Jade was thought to be a male stone, so naked virgins were sent to gather it from stream beds in the belief that the stone would be attracted to them.
