Guatemalan jadeite is a rare gem material that comes in many different colors. This jade was prevalent in the ancient Mesoamerican culture, however, its sources were lost for five centuries. It was rediscovered less than 50 years ago.
The Maya not only considered Guatemalan jadeite as a symbol of status and wealth, but also a passport to the next life. As such, it adorned the tombs of the royal and the prestigious. Kings, for example, were buried in jadeite masks and chest plates, which acted like a first class ticket through the underworld.
