Australian jade / nephrite jewelry

Jade / Nephrite
For thousands of years artists and craftsmen have prized the magical qualities of the rare mineral Jade. From ancient European caves to the islands of the Pacific ocean Jade was a treasured stone.
The stone has been long though to protect the kidney, heart, larynx, liver, spleen, thymus, thyroid and strengthen the body. It also adds longevity. Jade is known as a symbol of love and virtue.
Nephrite is only one of two distinct minerals classed as Jade. Owing to its fine-grained interlocking mesh of needles, nephrite is the toughest known mineral.

This means that jade is delicate yet tough at the same time – the qualities of a real gentleman – the qualities which have led it to become the most used, loved and valued carving material of all time.

Cowell on Eyre Peninsula in South Australia has one of the largest known deposits of nephrite jade in the world. Jade varies in color from black to dark green, grayish-green to pale green. Dark green jade is the most abundant and black is the highest quality.
Cowell Jade is a stone of great beauty and strength. It has been turned into exquisite carvings to delight our customers who value elegance and strength

Precious, or gem, opal has a rich iridescence and remarkable play of changing colors, usually in red, green, and blue."
