Jade has been cherished for over 5000 years and is considered an even more precious stone than diamonds in East Asia countries. Natural jade is a sacred stone.jadeis a metamorphic rock made up of tiny interlocking mineral crystals. It is hard (6–7 on the Mohs scale), extremely tough, and cannot be scratched by a knife or glass. Real untreated jade doesn’t glow under UV light in most cases.Jade is formed under high-pressure metamorphic conditions, so in its rough state in the outcrop, you can see layers of jade that trace some fractures perpendicular to the direction of forces.

Secondary deposits of jade are river pebbles. Jade is mined mainly from this kind of deposit as nature wore away weak minerals and low-quality jade.

Jadeite jade can have lightly colored, almost yellow zones with orange to brown spots. In contrast, nephrite jade is commonly more yellowish green with dark brown, nearly black inclusions.
