About jade:Jade was the Royal Gemstone and the Stone of Heaven in China and Asia, as the Emperor Seal in the Palace, as the totems and revered as the essence of Heaven and Earth in eastern religion. It was the Symbol of Power and Associated with Heroes, and stood for morality. It is not only a decoration but also a symbol of ethics and norms.
At one time, rich Chinese businessmen and high-ranking officials used jade as money. The wealthy Chinese families used personalized jade tassels to differentiate their classes. The Chinese believed that jade ornaments could prevent invasion of evil influence and secure safety. The Taoists believed jade could keep one physically immortal. The jade carvings are used as amulets to protect people from diseases and keep their Buddhist faith strong.
Also: Many of the ancient jades from my brother's collection still retain the earth of China that forms part of its ancient patina. The color of the dirt tells of the area where it was dug from by the hands of my brother and his archeological crews over a half century ago. Decayed bronze, cinnabar and earth create a marvelous ancient patina that enhances the beauty and the mystery of these ancient jade treasures that have journeyed through the hands of time.
Note: Photo Color might deviate slightly in comparison to the original artifact.
INVEST IN HISTORY: Authentic Chinese Ancient Jade is extremely rare and anyone collecting these precious GEMSTONE ARTIFACTS should understand both the rarity and the investment potential. Historically there has been a critical shortage of quality Ancient Jade artifacts and prices have been much higher than current values. Those of you who are considering investing or collecting ANCIENT CHINESE jade will be greatly rewarded, as the source of today's affordable Ancient jades will soon be gone. The current Ancient Jade market values and availability are a quirk of history. For the first time in known history Western treasure hunters have the opportunity to acquire the most precious and valued treasures of China. The popularity of these ancient jade gemstone treasures by Chinese and foreigners alike will greatly increase values as we approach the first decade of the new millennium. Ancient Chinese Jade is much more than a collectable; it is a great investment in ancient History. Add Rare Tangible assets to your investment portfolio.
