Origins of Jade Crystals:
Jade is identified as two stones, jadeite and nephrite. Jadeite is more rare than nephrite and is therefore regarded as more precious. Nephrite deposits have been found in China, New Zealand, Russia, Guatemala and the Swiss Alps. Dark green jade, so-called Canada jade, is also found in Western Canada. Jadeite is found in China, Russia and Guatemala, but the best stones come from Myanmar.
