Jade in Japan is considered a symbol of wealth and power. It is the national stone of Japan.
The history of jadeite processing in Japan dates back to ancient times, and jewelry made of jadeite has been found in early Jomon period ruins dating back 5,000 to 6,000 years.
Jade has always been prized for its hardness, durability and beauty. In particular, its subtle, translucent colors and protective qualities caused it to become associated with Chinese conceptions of the soul and immortality, and it is a traditional belief in China that jade protects the body and wards off bad energies.
