Jades Bracelet

Jade was formed by nature, deep in the earth’s crust under high pressure and temperatures, a process that has taken millions of years to complete. Jade refers to two mineral species, Jadeite and Nephrite. Jadeite (silicate of aluminum and crystaline) is found mainly in Burma. The Nephrite (silicate of calcium and magnesium) found in British Columbia, Canada has made it the Jade capital of the world.

Jade has been the official gemstone of British Columbia since 1969. The rough stone is mined primarily in the northwestern region of the province. Nephrite jade ranges in color from white through various shades of green, and on occasion, even black jade is found. Typically, B.C. jade is a medium to deep green color. Central to these Canadian jade mining operations is the tiny town of Jade City. There are several mines in the steep mountains surrounding the town, the most well known being BC Jade mines which have been run by the Bunce Family for over 40 years. Their mining operations have been the subject of the hit, reality show Jade Fever
