HISTORY AND OVERVIEW

Jade was first recorded by conquistadors in Mesoamerica where it was symbolic.  Ideological ritual was influenced by its rarity and value among pre-Columbian Mesoamerican cultures such as the Olmecs, Maya and other ancient civilisations of the Valley of Mexico.  

The name "Jade" is a cultural term for a durable material that has been fashioned into tools, sculptures and jewellery for over 5,000 years. It was first used in making ax heads, weapons, and tools because of its toughness.  Then, because some specimens had a beautiful colour and could be polished, people started to use Jade for gemstones, talismans, and ornamental objects.

For thousands of years, Jade has been the most popular gemstone in China. Chinese emperors had such a great desire to own high grade Jade that they traded or waged war with distant people to acquire them.

Jade comes in three varieties.  Nephrite, Jadeite or New Jade.  Most Jade is green but it forms in a range of difference colours such as green, white, lavender, yellow, blue, black, red, orange, and grey.

Nephrite comes from the Latin words  lapis nephriticus,  "stone of the kidneys", for the traditional belief in its power to heal kidneys and loins.

You can try a "chime test" to differentiate between the different types. . Nephrite will release a musical note when tapped with a hard object, whereas Jadeite and New Jade don't.

Pounamu, or New Zealand Green Stone, is a traditional and distinctive New Zealand gemstone containing the minerals Nephrite and Bowenite.
