Return To Gem Stones & Semi-Precious Stone

Jade is the official gemstone of British Columbia, where it is found in large deposits in the Lillooet and Cassiar regions. It is also the official gemstone of the state of Alaska, found particularly in the Kobuk area. A two ton block of jade sits outside the Anchorage Visitor’s Center in downtown Anchorage, Alaska, mined from near Kobuk and donated to the city as a showpiece.

Jade is about the same hardness as quartz, and are exceptionally tough. They are beautifully coloured and can be delicately shaped..
