Jade Green Huge Partly Polished Block

Jade, Green, Huge Partly Polished Block, British Columbia, 21.6 LB

Green Jade is the best known color of Jade; specimens with optimal color and translucence can sell for hundreds of thousands of dollars in Asia.  Unfortunately, there are a wide range of artificial treatments applied to Jade today, and much of what is called “Jade” on the market today is not Jade at all, but inferior stones being sold as Jade or as “Water Jade”, “Helu Jade”, etc.

We only carry true Jade, which technically comes in two forms, Nephrite or Jadeite. Most of our Jade is Nephrite, with our Purple Jade being Jadeite — the more expensive and prized form of Jade.

Attributes of this stone are based on Daoist Stone Medicine and our own Vibrational Research.
