YANGON, Myanmar: An enormous jade boulder that weighs up to 192 tons has been found in Myanmarâs restive Kachin State, officials said Saturday. The 174,600-kilogram raw jade stone was discovered in a gem-rich region of Hpakant Township in northern Kachin on Tuesday, according to an information ministry statement.
In other words, for humans, jade is their second life force. In a traditional way, jade is of two types: soft jade, known as nephrite, which is native to China and hard jade, known as jadeite, which was imported from Burma starting in the 1200's.
