MYANMAR JADE

Myanmar (Burma) jade is actually jadeite. It owes its magnificent hues to the presence of impurities or metallic ions. Without them, jadeite would be colorless or white, with a milky appearance. Deep green specimens owe their color to the iron they contain. Mauve varieties contain manganese. Burma (now Myanmar) is renowned for producing some of the world's most beautiful and highest quality jade.

ETYMOLOGY	Of Spanish origin, upon its discovery by the conquistadors of the New World in the 15th century: they named it "piedra de ijada", meaning "flank stone". According to the beliefs of Mesoamerican peoples, this mineral could be used to treat kidney pains. It was also used to treat renal colic. This property is the origin of the Latin name "lapis nephriticus". The etymology of the stone therefore testifies to its very ancient use for its medicinal virtues. In France, the stone was known and used from the 17th century. A direct translation of the Spanish name, it was then called "éjade", before losing its initial vowel over time. The name "jade" then became entrenched in different languages.
