Guest guest Posted May 19, 2009 Report Share Posted May 19, 2009 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emerald_Buddha"According to legend, the Emerald Buddha was created in India in 43 BC by Nagasena in the city of Pataliputra (today Patna)."http://www.ganoksin.com/borisat/nenam/jade.htmJade is a confusing term since it is used to refer to two different gem materials. The two jades, jadeite and nephrite, can be somewhat similar in appearance, so the confusion persists. Jadeite was first imported into China in 1784 from Burma. Up to this time the jade used in China was nephrite jade. Jadeite is found in a few places in the world, but the only commercially mined deposit is in Burma. Burmese jade is another name for jadeite. So this statue is created in India in 43 BC.....till then nephrite was considered as jadeite...Just curious about the material used for this statue--- On Tue, 19/5/09, Ole Alstrup <alstrup wrote:Ole Alstrup <alstrupRe: Thailand's Emerald Buddhasacred-objects Date: Tuesday, 19 May, 2009, 3:38 PMhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emerald_Buddhahimanshu gupte <hrguptesacred-objects Sent: Tuesday, 19 May, 2009 11:52:57Re: Thailand's Emerald BuddhaJadeite or emerald?????--- On Sat, 16/5/09, Rick Brown <rsbj66 wrote:Rick Brown <rsbj66 Thailand's Emerald Buddha"Sacred Group Group" <sacred-objects >, "Planetary Group Group" <planetary-gemology >Saturday, 16 May, 2009, 4:30 AM Ancient Jadeite Murti in Grand Palace Rick Brown's iPhone www.richardshawbrown.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
