Burmese Fashion Light Green Jade yu
This is a modern looking bangle with a beautiful green cheerful color.
The stone is very smooth and well crafted. Love the unusual light green color and that even though a bit heavy, it is still comfortable to wear.
It came in a beautifully designed pouch in a pretty pink gift box.
This makes a perfect meaningful gift. Jade is known for bringing luck and in ancient times it was symbol of loyalty and nobility.
I definitely recommend this product.
Note: I received this product highly discounted for review purposes and an honest and un-biased opinion.
Jadeite Gemstone

Jadeite is a pyroxene mineral and one of the two types of pure jade. The other is known as nephrite. Jadeite is the rarer of the two, and as a result it is more precious. The most valuable form of jadeite is a striking and even emerald green known as "imperial jadeite". The history of jadeite goes back several thousand years when it was first used to make weapons and tools because of its toughness. Jadeite was highly prized by the Mayans and Aztecs, in fact the name "jade" originates from the Spanish "piedra de ijada", meaning "stone for the pain in the side". It was thus named after Spanish explorers noticed natives of Central America holding pieces of jade to their sides to cure ills. In Chinese, jade is known as "yu", which means "heavenly" or "imperial". Therefore, it is considered to be the imperial gem in Chinese culture. In China, jade was found in the tombs of Shang kings.
