Jade is a beautiful and valuable gemstone that has been used in jewelry and carvings for centuries. It is typically green in color, but can also be found in other colors such as white, yellow, and lavender. Jade is a hard stone, but it is also brittle, so it must be handled with care.
There are two main types of jade: nephrite and jadeite. Nephrite is the more common type of jade, and it is typically found in China, New Zealand, and Canada. Jadeite is a rarer type of jade, and it is typically found in Myanmar (Burma).
