Records of Taiwanese jade date back to the prehistoric Neolithic era, when it was used to craft ornaments. Artifacts unearthed are considered national treasures by the National Museum of Prehistory. Its mineral composition is primarily actinolite-tremolite, with a chemical composition of calcium, magnesium, and iron silicates, and a hardness of 6-6.5. Jasper has been cherished by people since ancient times, gaining popularity among royalty and nobility as early as the Qing Dynasty, where it was regarded as a precious item.
