Jadeite is a rare form of jade highly prized for its gorgeous green hue and often used in jewelry. Interestingly, it was originally used as a weapon thousands of years ago. Compared to the more common type of jade, jadeite is more valuable due to its vitreous luster. For centuries, the Chinese have revered jade as a gemstone fit for royalty, believing it to connect the spiritual and material worlds. This unique stone is found only in metamorphic rocks, typically formed under extreme pressure deep within the Earth. AA Quality with a 1mm drill hole
