Russian jade primarily refers to nephrite jade, which is notable for its rich, deep green to dark green colors. This type of jade is found in the Siberian region of Russia, particularly in areas like the Khabarovsk Territory and the Chukchi Peninsula. Russian nephrite jade is known for its durability and smooth texture, making it a popular choice for jewelry and intricate carvings.
The jade from this region has been historically significant, often used in traditional Russian art and craftsmanship. It’s valued for its quality and the deep, lustrous colors that can range from dark green to almost black with subtle variations. Russian jade is not only admired for its beauty but also for its purported metaphysical properties, such as providing protection and grounding.
