Once upon a time, a beautiful
Malay princess fell in love with a mighty Malay warrior. One
day, the warrior was summoned into battle, leaving his
beloved princess behind. As years passed, there was still no
sign of the warrior's return.
Pining for her love and facing
pressure from her father King to marry another, the lovelorn
princess climbed a hill and overlooking a beautiful valley
facing the direction where her love had gone, and after
declaring aloud her undying devotion to her beloved, plunged
a dagger into her heart and died. Her blood seeped into the
ground and as eons passed, the stones dyed red with her
blood, were perpetually marked with the reddish hues amidst
the natural green of their colour, and thus was formed the
stones of rich reddish green we now call DARA JADE.
Thus begins the many romantic
legends surrounding DARA JADE, a semi-precious stone of the
surpentine class that was found and mined only in what was
once an open valley, the remnant of an old open cast iron
mine in Bukit Ibam, Malaysia. Incidentally, "DARA" means
"maiden" or "Virgin" in the Malay Language, as was
thus christened by our late 2nd Prime Minister of Malaysia,
YAB Tun Abdul Razak in 1976. DARA JADE flourished under the
patronage of the late 2nd Prime Minister, and was used for
jewelry, trinket boxes, cigarette lighters, and decoration
pieces, all beautiful and elegant, in its many hues of
reddish brown and green. No 2 stones alike. We however, have
specially themed sets in the same colour for setting into
jewelry at your own jewellers.
The legend and the romance
related to this beautiful semi-precious stone with its many
colorful reddish hues amidst the green, still lives on and
