Jade is the world’s
most precious stone, fetching prices higher than anything
except the rarest colored diamonds. Indeed, five of the ten
most expensive jewelry lots sold worldwide by Christie’s
in 1999 were jade, including three of the top five. - Burmese
Jade, R.W. Hughes.
"Prices of jadeite have soared since the end of World
War 2, with some pieces rising several dozen times in price."
