What does Chinese jade symbolize?

Valued for its rarity and lustrous appearance, jade has been thought to symbolize excellence and purity of human virtue. When worn as jewelry or as a protective charm, the stone was thought to imbue a person with a clear mind and pure spirit, and to guard against evil spirits or illness.
