Jade is one of the most universally popular materials in the world, but did you know it comes in two different minerals ? You may have seen jade trinkets, jewelry, and carvings before , but the signature green colour you're used to is actually " imperial jade" or jadeite.

What is nephrite Jade ?
Nephrite Jade is quite different than jadeite and comes in a variety of beautiful colours including yellow , grey, and green.

The meaning of the word " Jade " is a Spanish translation of the phrase " Piedra de Ijada " , which means " stone for pain in the side " .
The reason jade has this name is because Nephrite was used for centuries as a healing crystal for body pain.

When Spanish colonized Latin America , they saw indigenous people holding jade at their sides in order to heal from illness. Nephrite means " kidney " and for centuries , it was believed to cure people of kidney disease.
