Jade Travel Uk

Everyone in China wears jade, you will too, if you stay there long enough. It’s one of the first things noticed as a traveler, a red string around someone’s neck, dangling a jade pendant. Sometimes the string is long and the stone can't be seen, but you know it’s there. Sometimes the string is short and the stone rests against the chest. Most commonly seen is a Bi Pi Disc, a donut shaped jade dangling from a red string. Infants, children, teenagers, adults, seniors, all wear jade in an unassuming manner. But to a foreigner, it pricks your curiosity and you are quick to investigate the mystique surrounding the stone.

Most commonly, the jade people are wearing comes from one of five areas on the mainland. From the mountains or riverbeds of the provinces of Xinjiang, Shanxi, Henan, Gansu and Liaoning, jade finds its way into the lives of the Chinese people. Jade has been quarried or panned for eons. Mining for jade puts the Stone Age on a slow boat. At that time, it was already being used for tools and ornamentation. Carried down from the hills or swashed from rivers, the Chinese say gold has a price but jade is priceless.
