Jade -The Chinese Royal Gemstone
One of the semi precious stones is Jade.It gets its name from the Spanish phrase “piedra de ijada” which means loin stone.The reason it is so called is that it is believed that jade can cure kidney and loin related diseases.Infact, the term “nephrite” in relation to kidneys, is derieved from the name of one of the types of jade, that was used to cure kidney ailments.Green is the usual color of Jade.It is, therefore, also known as “Greenstone” in certain countries.The Chinese refer to it as “yu” or the royal stone.Though it is primarily found in green color, jade of creamy white, black, gray, orange, yellow, lavender, mauve-pink and emerald green colors are also found.
There are 2 chemical varieties of Jade.One of them is known as nephrite and the other is called jadeite.Both resemble each other when it comes to appearance, hardness, etc.However, they are different when it comes to chemical composition.Nephrite is formed from chemicals of calcium, magnesium and iron whereas, jadeite is formed from chemcials of sodium and aluminium.Nephrite usually has a brilliant green color.Jadeite is more expensive as it is rarer than nephrite.Once polished, nephrite courts a resinous surface, whereas jadeite surfaces tend to shine like mirror.
China, New Zealand, Russia, Cananda, Gautemala and the Swiss Alps have considerable deposits of jade.Best quality of jade stones come from Burma.The final quality and color of a raw jade piece can be known only after processing and cutting; hence jade traders need to be careful when buying unprocessed jade.There is no way to determine, at the time of buying, how the raw jade is going to turn out. The actual quality and the luster of the final product can be understood only once the polishing and processing work finishes.
Carbonundum and diamond powder are used to process raw jade.Since the hardness of jade varies between 5.0 to 7.0 Mohs hardness, it can be worked with quartz, garnet sand, bamboo or ground jade.It was used in the olden days as a material for making weapons and tools.With time, sculptures and cult figures were being carved from jade.
The Chinese royal family has been particularly partial to the use of Jade in jewelry and other royal finery.The tribal’s of the Americas would regard jade higher than gold.Egyptians believed jade to be a stone of love.Overall, irrespective of the culture, the ancient world regards jade as a protective stone.Nowadays, the different jewellery make use of Jade as one of the various precious stones engraved inside for providing better color and contrast features.
