Burmese Jade is a type of Jade that can be either emerald green (also called emerald) or red. Other names for Jade are Emerald Jade, Jadeite, and Burmese Jade . It is a polycrystalline aggregate that looks like jade and is mostly made up of jadeite, omphacite, and nichrome pyroxene. It was formed by geological processes.
Did you know that Jade is two different gems? Nephrite and jadeite. In ancient China, Jade was known as the 'stone of heaven' and has a great history of using Jade in arts, carvings and sculptures.
Jade is a very tough and dense stone and ranges in colors such as green, white, orange and black. The most valuable jade gemstone is a vivid emerald green which is semi-transparent.
Burma Jade represents purity, the sun, justice, courage, harmony, and a pure soul, as well as male-female love. The meaning of Jade’s name is unknown.
Jade is a bird that lives in the south, Some believe that is the bird’s name. This bird has bright feathers. The male bird has crimson feathers. The female bird has green feathers, and people named the gemstone using their feather color attribute. because the colors are quite similar to the hue of the bird’s feathers.
Early Jadeite mines in Myanmar produced gem-quality material. Jadeite and Burmese Jade were once interchangeable because, for a very long time, people only knew that Myanmar manufactured it. There aren’t many Jadeite sources on the globe. Only the US, Japan, Russia, and Myanmar produce anything.
The jadeite from Myanmar is the best quality of all of them; the quality of the Jadeite from other nations is inferior to that of gemstones.
It also has a strong relationship to Chinese culture because it started to flow into that country in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties. The delicate and elegant texture of Jadeite also coincides with the gentle and elegant demeanor that the gentlemanly demeanor of gentleness, grace, and civility has long been valued in Chinese culture since ancient times. Men will wear a Jade pendant around their waists, and women will also wear Jade hairpins, which are very popular.
