Why is black jade called “the shadow of a lover” and “the shadow of a successful man”?

Black jade is a kind of jade. Black refers to black, and jade refers to green. Black jade refers to jade that is so green that it appears black in natural light, and green under sunlight or strong light. It is a special kind of jade that is black and green in color.

Black is the purest color, it symbolizes the arrival of dawn. Black is the deepest, most inclusive, and most independent color. It brings out all the colors, makes whites whiter, makes yellows more lively…

When there are no other colors, black can stand out on its own. It is mature, capable, calm and composed, and naturally makes people think of wisdom, calmness and trust. It will not change its character, just like a winding mountain. No matter how strong the wind and rain are, the mountain is still a mountain, and it looks even more elegant after the wind and rain.

The black jade is even more magical. Ink means the most elegant of arts, and jade means the most noble of jades. When the green charm of spring is added with ink color, it is transformed into this elegant and noble thing - black jade. This color cannot be created by skilled craftsmen, but is the result of the supernatural work of heaven and earth, which has been quietly created after billions of years of baptism.

The deep black jade is like fishing by the quiet lake at night. There are no colorful lights, no noisy crowds, but the steady heart of the hunter ready to go. The deep green forest under the moonlight watches the game between man and fish, just like watching the self-breakthrough of the night angler.

The deep color of black jadeite, under the illumination of light, reveals a dark green world, just like an oasis deep in the mind, allowing people to enjoy heavenly peace and tranquility. The green color of jade always makes people feel relaxed and happy, and the green in the soul is something that people yearn for and look forward to. It allows people to stay away from impetuousness and noise, calm their hearts in this bustling city, and return to simplicity.

The appearance of the black jade is all natural, with no noticeable difference, but the subtle fragrance from it comes in like a stream, slowly and soothingly. The ink color is better than the finely refined ink of Huizhou Prefecture during the Wanli period; the green color revealed after passing light through it is like a layer of black gauze draped over a pretty girl, which has an even more mysterious and elegant charm. The black of black jade is not cold, it is more like a soft night, bringing you unprecedented charm!

In the mining areas in northern Myanmar, the hometown of jade, local Burmese people call it "lover's shadow" or "shadow of a successful man." It is called "lover's shadow" because it is like the black and shiny hair of the fairies in the sky recorded in Buddhist scriptures. It is shiny black under normal light, but it reveals a magical dark green color under strong light. This dreamy color is likened to the beautiful figure that fills men's hearts - "lover's shadow."

It is called "the shadow of a successful man" because its deep color is like the towering figure formed behind a man who has achieved great success. Following closely behind the man, it is also like a toughness that has been tempered by hardships - just like a man who gradually understands the true meaning of life through the long years of polishing and transforms himself into someone more calm and wise.

Therefore, many high-ranking officials, politicians, and business celebrities in Myanmar like and appreciate black jade very much, not only because it is the shadow of a beloved partner or lover, but also because it symbolizes unlimited wealth and glorious status. According to the Chinese Yin-Yang and Five Elements theory, black belongs to water, and water can gather wealth. China has also believed that black can ward off evil spirits and protect the body since ancient times. Because black can absorb light, black jade is often carved into auspicious symbols to attract wealth, gather wealth or ward off evil spirits. Black jade with good water quality may also be made into black jade rings.

In addition to the above, black jadeite is recognized as a rare jade in the world today. This is because among the millions of ores mined from the jadeite mines in Myanmar, only one high-grade black jadeite raw stone that meets the requirements in terms of completeness and clarity (transparency) can be obtained. This is enough to show how precious black jadeite is.
