AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Stunning large frog made of Chinese jade
Known as the money frog, the coin can spin around.
Jade, like soapstone and chalcedony, has been carved and worked on by the Chinese for thousands of years. Originally, jade was used as a tool, but during the Han Dynasty, it became popular as jewelry. 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 one wears a piece of jade for a long time on their body, for example on a piece of red thread around the neck, it will be observed that the jade slowly changes color.
During the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing, the medals were adorned with jade.
