Origin & Rarity:
Blue Water Jadeite is found exclusively in Myanmar’s (Burma) Hpakant mines, Kachin State – the world’s primary source for premium jade. Mining occurs in deep pits (hundreds of meters), with frequent landslide risks during monsoon season. This extreme difficulty contributes to its exceptional scarcity.
Cultural Significance & Symbolism:
Beyond its physical beauty, jade embodies profound Eastern philosophy. In traditional culture, it represents four noble virtues:
Benevolence (仁), Righteousness (义), Wisdom (智), Courage (勇)
Its serene blue hue specifically symbolizes calmness and wisdom.
When adorned with the Chinese “Fu” (福) character – a talisman for luck, wealth, and blessings – its auspicious meaning deepens.
