# How to Store Jade Stones
For thousands of years, people have transformed jade stones into eye-catching jewelry and symbolic carvings. There are two types of jade available: nephrite and jadeite. Although jade is most commonly associated with the color green, the stones also come in white, lavender and red, among other hues. If you have jade jewelry, keep it protected and looking its best by storing it properly. Keep the stones clean and in soft bags or boxes to ensure your jade collection is in good condition at all times.
