Jade (Yu in Chinese pinyin) was defined as beautiful stones by Xu Zhen (about 58-147) in Shuo Wen Jie Zi, the first Chinese dictionary. Jade is generally classified into soft jade (nephrite) and hard jade (jadeite) . Since China only had the soft jade until jadeite was imported from Burma during the Qing dynasty (1271-1368) , jade traditionally refers to the soft jade so it is also called traditional jade. Jadeite is called Feicui in Chinese. Feicui is now more popular and valuable than the soft jade in China. <br/>Our company have been offering high quality soft and hard jade for worldwide customers. <br/>
