Publisher's Synopsis

Excerpt from Dictionnaire des Arts Décoratifs, Vol. 2

Jade. Nom générique de substances très dures, à aspect laiteux et gras. La Chine s'est distinguée dans le travail de cette matière. Le jade blanc ou blanc rosé est de provenance chinoise; le jade vert vient surtout des Indes. On a donné au jade les noms de pierre des Amazones et, au moyen âge, de pierre néphrétique. On prétendait qu'il guérissait les coliques et les maux de reins.
