About MeThis carved figure of a man holding a scroll is made of jadeite. Jadeite, also known as imperial jade, is the most prized of the two types of jade (the other type of jade is called nephrite). In Chinese culture, jade is highly prized and associated with purity. Chinese jade lapidary artists are highly skilled and produced intricate carvings. A lapidary is an artist who cuts, polishes or engraves gems.
