Jade has been used for centuries in various cultures for a variety of purposes, including jewelry, tools, weapons, and decorative objects. It is particularly associated with Chinese culture, where it has been prized for its beauty and symbolism for thousands of years.


Jade is a tough and durable stone that is resistant to scratches and chipping, making it a popular choice for jewelry and other decorative items. It is also believed to have various spiritual and healing properties, and is often used in feng shui and other practices for promoting balance and harmony.
