Jade has a long history with mankind. Because it is dense, hard and fiberous it is very durable. Stone age tool makers used jade for many thousands of years for knives, spear points, axes and other tools that required sharp edges. Because jade will take a high degree of polish it became popular for ornmental objects as well.
