The Importance of Jade Stone in Chinese Culture

Jade, known as 'yu' in China, is a gemstone that is used as both an ornament and as jewelry. There are two types of jade stone that exist. These are composed of different silicate minerals. The first type of jade stone is nephrite. The more iron that the nephrite contains, the greener in color it appears. The second type of jade stone is jadeite. It is similar in hardness to quartz. Nephrite, on the other hand, has a softer quality to it.
