This is a perfect gift for yourself or someone special! A little history: Guatemalan jade is a rare gem material that comes in many different colors. Blue jade is a rare color. This jade was prevalent in the ancient Mesoamerican culture; however, its sources were lost for five centuries. The sources for Guatemalan jade were lost for the past five centuries because the Spanish conquistadores did not value jade. Reports from early Spanish explorers document the special status of a gemstone unknown to them, one that would later be called jade. At the beginning of the Spanish conquest, the Maya people kept the location of their jade mines a secret to protect them from the invaders. Over time, the location of the ancient mines and quarries became forgotten and lost. It was rediscovered less than 50 years ago. The story of Guatemalan jade rediscovery spans over a century. It involved many American scientists enamored with the jade. Among them were Zelia Nutall, William Niven, Robert Leslie, William Foshag, and Tom and Joyce Barbour. Carved jades have been found in archaeological sites in Mexico and Central America since the early 1900s. However, no jade specimens were found on-site until much later. In the 1940s, American geologist William Foshag spent several years in Mexico and Guatemala. He studied the ancient jades and local geology. Foshag wrote that Robert Leslie had discovered jade in 1952 in the Motagua River Valley. Foshag’s research categorized the Guatemalan jade as jadeite. He found it to be similar to jade found in Burma. This was the beginning of the rediscovery of the Maya jade...
