Burma Jade is a creamy mint green variation of Jade that often includes swirling white inclusions. We love pairing Burma Jade with green gemstones, including Green Aventurine and the many other variations of Jade like Nephrite Jade and Canadian Jade. Burma Jade specifically looks best with silver metals.

The English term “jade” translates to the Chinese word “yu,” which includes several different jade-based gemstones. Jade is considered in Chinese culture to symbolize immortality, and many Chinese people throughout history are buried with Jade carvings and/or jewelry. Jade is found in Brazil, Canada, China, India, Mexico, Peru, and Russia.

Metaphysically, Jade gemstones symbolize gratitude and inner contentment. Jade is also believed to hold healing properties that enhance emotional maturity and mental clarity.
