Mineralogy: Jade (Jadeite), genuine Chinese jade, dyed

Jade is one of the oldest and most culturally significant gemstones in the world. The name is derived from the Spanish "lendenstein" (loin stone) – an indication that jade has been valued for centuries as a protective and healing stone against kidney ailments. The Chinese name "Yü" means "beautiful stone"; in China, jade is considered a sacred stone and a symbol of virtue, purity, and happiness. The term jade encompasses two different minerals: jadeite and nephrite. Jadeite is characterized by its particular toughness – in prehistoric times, even weapons were made from it. The most valuable variety is Burma jade (Imperial jade). Green jade is the most classic and well-known colour – for millennia, it has stood for nature, growth, and vitality. This strand consists of genuine Chinese jade (jadeite) in dyed green.
