Where Jade Is Found
Jade refers to two distinct minerals - jadeite (rarer, more vivid) and nephrite (more common, softer green). Myanmar is the world's premier source of fine jadeite; nephrite is found in China, Russia (Siberia), Canada, New Zealand, and Central Asia, with China holding the longest continuous jade-carving tradition of any culture.
Use
Jade's cool green tone is associated with Mercury's domain of intellect and communication, and is also widely worn simply for its long-standing reputation as a stone of harmony, luck, and protection across Asian traditions.
