They were sewn onto garments, headpieces, or artifacts to display status and aesthetic taste. Often appearing in ceremonies and burials, jade floral pieces symbolized auspiciousness, purity, and eternity, reflecting the ancient pursuit of beauty and harmony. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jade is divided into two main categories: Soft Jade (Local Jade) and Hard Jade (Myanmar Jade). Soft and hard jade have different properties, including hardness, specific gravity, and chemical composition. Soft jade has a Mohs hardness of 6-6.5, and is found in places such as Hualien, Taiwan, and local Chinese jades. These jades come in various colors, mainly black, gray, green, brown, yellow, and white, with white being the rarest. Hard jade, also known as jadeite, has 7-8 main sources worldwide. Myanmar jadeite belongs to this category, coming in various colors, including white, green, white with green, yellow, brown, black, and purple, with the prized Myanmar emerald green being the most valuable. It is widely recognized that jadeite over 100 years old is particularly valuable and is known in the antique world as "Old Item" jade. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sumi Antique is a platform created by the antique collector Sumi.
