Here are some more information for Jade Snuff:

Jades are metamorphic rocks that are made up of two different silicate minerals - Nephrite and Jadeite. Nephrite is more plentiful than Jadeite and hence, is lesser expensive. Instead of a bright emerald green, Nephrite greens are often grayish or mottled. It is also found in fewer shades than Jadeite. It ranks 6.5 on the Mohs Scale and since it is softer than Jadeite, the finished pieces are not highly polished. Nephrite deposits are found all around the world, including the United States.
Evenly colored, translucent texture and with bright emerald green hues - Jadeite is commonly called "Imperial Jade". Jadeite is the rarer of the two Jade variations and hence, more expensive. It comes in different colors - green, white, lavender, yellow, orange, black and red. Most of the worlds supply of fine Jadeite comes from Burma. However, deposits are found in Guatemala and few other countries as well. It ranks 7 on the Mohs Scale and thus, is a tough mineral that does not chip or break easily.
Jewelers Choice
For jewelry lovers, Jade is an exclusive choice. While in Asia, it is a popular choice as an antique, in the Western countries, it is collected in the form of snuff-boxes, cigarette holders, small bowls or rings. In the recent times, Jade has also evolved as a modern-day gemstone. Creative jewelry designers and gemstone producers are now coming up with some wonderful, trendy jewelry designs, which spruce up the image of Jade massively.
With the Jade demand thus shooting up, it therefore becomes very important to know how to identify quality and authentic Jades. While buying them, check if the pieces have uniform color throughout. Avoid buying Jades with numerous cracks or other visible flaws. Finely textured, highly polished Jade cabochons or other un-carved pieces are the most desirable items for jewelry. Similarly, intense colors of Jade are desirable. Semi-transparent to translucent Jade is more valuable than the opaque ones.
Jade is considered as the 12th Anniversary gemstone. A symbol of serenity and purity, it signifies wisdom, increases love and nurturing, attracts good luck and friendship, stabilizes the personality and promotes self-sufficiency. It protects the wearer from harm, soothes the mind and releases the negative thoughts and irritation. Jade, the "dream stone", brings insightful dreams and aids emotional releases. It also aids the body filtration and elimination organs. It is excellent for treating kidney problems and adrenal glands.
A perfect blend of hardness with an enchanting range of colors, fine luster and vivacity, Jade thus becomes an irresistible choice for every human mortal on earth.
