In Chinese culture, jade is believed to be a link between the physical and spiritual worlds, and is thought to be the material form that most completely embodies both the yin and yang qualities of Heaven and Earth. Thus it is called, "the stone of Heaven."

'Soft jade' is found in many Chinese provinces, and is known for it's loveliness. It traditionally represents virtue, purity, grace and beauty and often, because of it's rich and varied properties, often symbolizes several good human qualities, some of which are sincerity, loyalty, justice, intelligence and chastity.
