Even on a global scale, jadeite is produced in extremely limited areas,
and those produced in Itoigawa are called jadeite and boast the highest quality.
It is a very precious and beautiful stone designated as a special natural monument of the country.
First, let me explain the origin of the name jade.
Jade means male and female kingfisher, and this kanji was used because it resembles their beautiful color.
Therefore, the character for jade can be read not only as the stone jade, but also as the bird kingfisher.
Kingfishers are said to be "flying jewels". Kingfishers are beautiful birds covered in a beautiful blue-green color from their backs to their tails,
and it is said that the same kanji came to be used because the beauty of their feathers resembles that of jade.
Jade can be divided into two types: hard jade and soft jade.
These Itoigawa jade prayer beads are hard jade. Its hardness is 6.5-7, and its specific gravity is heavier than ordinary stones.
If you hold a stone of the same size in both hands, it will feel heavy.
Itoigawa jade is a special natural monument, and it is currently not possible to collect it.
When you think of "jade," you probably think of green, but it becomes the commonly known green color by containing chromium, titanium, and iron, and pure jade is actually white.
Among Itoigawa jade itself, the most valuable jade is the jade with a green 'fu' in the white color.
The jade we will introduce this time is characterized by a large fu on the main bead.
This is a special prayer bead that we highly recommend.
