(CHINESE) JADE is a highly esteemed gem, especially in Asia, where it has been known for some 7000 years. The colour of jade can vary, from green to white, to black and to a pale pink.
Some gems also have streaks or veins. However, these are not always considered as flaws. This kind of jade can be found in most of Asia, where the shade of pure white or fine yellow with a pink undertone is especially appreciated.
