Among the Burmese jade we carry, this one is characterized by its bright color. Jade is called the emerald of the Orient because of its rarity, and has been used since ancient times as a noble ornament. It was used for magatama and other items during the Jomon period, and is a gemstone that has been loved by Japanese people. It was also used as a material for stone tools because it is difficult to break. It has been said to be the most valuable gemstone in China since ancient times, and has been prized as a status symbol. Jade is the birthstone for May, and is said to "ward off misfortune," "balance the mind," and "activate metabolism." The stone word for jade is "health," and many people give prayer beads to pray for good health. We have prepared prayer beads with a soft atmosphere, with green tassels.
This is a limited edition item, so please purchase it as soon as possible.
