Jade is mostly known for its green varieties; although jade can come in different colors once dyed. Jade is made up of two different minerals: Nephrite, or Jadeite. This was first used to manufacture ax heads, weapons, and tools for scraping and hammering because of its toughness. Jade is known to symbolize gentleness and nourishment.
