About Jadeite:
Jadeite is the rarer of the two jades, and as a result, it is considered to be more precious and valuable. The purest form of jadeite is white and as with other colored gemstones, colors are a result of impurities. Jadeite was highly prized by the Mayans and Aztecs, in fact the name "jade" originates from the Spanish "piedra de ijada", meaning "stone for the pain in the side". It was thus named after Spanish explorers noticed natives of Central America holding pieces of jade to their sides to cure ills. In Chinese, jade is known as "yu", which means "heavenly" or "imperial". Therefore, it is considered to be the imperial gem in Chinese culture.
