History: Jade has been mined and worked in China since the Stone Age. In prehistoric sites, jade artifacts include simple ornaments with bead, button, and tubular shapes. It was also used for tools and weapons. Jade later became revered with special significance.

Lavender Jadeite is among the rarest in the world. Most collectors cherish Lavender Jade for its emotional healing properties. But it's the stone's spiritual benefits that take the cake. Lavender Jade is a dream stone par excellence and has been used throughout the ages to facilitate astral travel, lucid dreaming, and out-of-body experiences.

Gold was generally used for a couple thousand years solely to create things such as jewelry and idols for worship. This was until around 1500 BC when the ancient empire of Egypt, which benefited greatly from its gold-bearing region, Nubia, made gold the first official medium of exchange for international trade.
