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...
