Jade from traditional China is one of the four most important gemstones. Jade represents perfection, dignity, wealth and longevity. It is the birthstone for those born in July. Jade has been around for thousands of years and its importance as a color has been well known throughout Chinese history. Jade also represents love and is used in wedding jewelry.
Jade is found primarily in two places in China: northern China (the largest supplier) and northern Vietnam. There are no jade deposits in southern China or any other country. The main types of jade that are harvested are green jade, black jade and pink jade. They all originate from the same mines in northern China. The main differences in the type of stone and its color occur because of processing.
Green jade is a variety of jade that contains heavy amounts of chromium. This increases its value and popularity. Black jade has a similar chromium content but is much lighter than green. Pink jade is a rare variety that is primarily a red color. It is also sometimes referred to as "ottoguan". Pink jade is the most sought after because of its unique color and texture.
This Jade is also used in jewelry and decorative decor. Many people like to use it in ring designs and pendants because of its beauty and affordability. It can also be used to create elegant carvings and sculptures. Today it is used in computer graphics and in the manufacturing of high-end watches because of its high resistance to scratching and oxidation.
