AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Gorgeous large frog made of Chinese jade
Known as the money frog, the coin can spin around.
Jade has, like soapstone and chalcedony, been cut and worked by the Chinese for thousands of years. Jade was originally used as a tool but became fashionable as jewelry during the Han dynasty. In China, nephrite is found around the city of Khotan in Xinjiang.
Jade is seen as a valuable stone that wards off evil forces. If a piece of jade is worn for a long time on the body, for example on a red thread around the neck, one will notice that the jade slowly changes color.
During the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing, the medals were adorned with jade.
