Appearance & origins
Jade is typically green but can also be white, lavender, yellow, or brown depending on its mineral composition. It has a smooth and waxy texture, often polished to a high sheen. Its green variations range from deep emerald to pale, translucent shades, with some stones displaying natural marbling or mottled patterns.
Jade is commonly found in China, Myanmar (Burma), Guatemala, Russia, and New Zealand. Nephrite is more abundant and found in regions like Canada and New Zealand, while jadeite, the rarer variety, is primarily sourced from Myanmar.

Folklore & history
In Chinese culture, Jade has been revered for centuries as a symbol of wealth, nobility, and immortality. It is often referred to as the 'Stone of Heaven.' Maori tribes in New Zealand value Jade (Pounamu) as a sacred stone, used in tools, weapons, and ornaments.
Jade was historically used in carvings, amulets, and talismans to ward off evil spirits and attract good luck. It was also a prized material for ritual vessels and burial objects in ancient Chinese and Mesoamerican cultures.
Safety
Warnings: Jade is generally non-toxic and safe for direct contact. Never drink crystal-infused water or elixirs, and avoid prolonged exposure to harsh chemicals, which may damage its surface.
