First, jade is the most beautiful gemstone in the universe.
All jade is symbolic of, and enhancing to, health.
The purple jade, because of its color, also symbolizes warmth and good friendships as well as civility. Contrary to some people’s opinions, it is not a stone of passion.
Naturally occurring purple jade comes mostly from Anatolia, modern day Turkey. It has been traded throughout history, and before any historical records were made. Purple jade beads have been found in tombs in northern Africa that date from 16,000 B.C. Purple jade from Anatolia has been found in Chinese tombs from 3000 B.C.
