Jade is the common name for a fine-grained rock which has been used for carving and as a gemstone for thousands of years. It is made up of interlocking crystals which make it a very tough rock. The name jade has actually been given to two different rocks: jadeite and nephrite. 

This is a beautiful book covering jade throughout the world. It is large format and weighs nearly 2.5 kilograms. It is packed with gorgeous colour photos.
