Description from the seller
Premium - Bouddha Jade XL
History & origin of the Jade stone
Five thousand years ago, Jade was already used in China to make objects. During Chinese prehistory, Jade became a sacred stone. The Liangzhu culture, highly hierarchical, placed ivory and Jade at the top. Only the tombs of the elite could contain Jade objects. To protect the body from decay, Jade and gold filled the openings of the deceased. As a symbol of eternal life, a Jade stone was placed in the mouth of the deceased so they could access resurrection. Jade also symbolized absolute power. Wearing a Jade stone in China today signifies claiming imperial dignity.
During antiquity, many symbols and myths surrounded Jade. In Greece, this stone accompanied people from birth to death through the Moirai, the three goddesses of destiny. The Greeks also used it to soothe and heal their wounds. For eye pain, they would place a piece of Jade directly on their eyelids or dissolve it into a cleansing solution. For many pre-Hispanic peoples, Jade was worth much more than gold.
In New Zealand, the Maoris used this gemstone to make tools, weapons, and jewelry. They associated it with Hune-nui-te-po, the goddess of death. In Europe, Jade is given to celebrate 26 years of marriage.
The main jade deposits are found in China, Russia, Canada, and New Zealand. About ten years ago, jadeite deposits were discovered in Italy by Pierre Pétrequin.
