Peruvian Black Jade

About Peruvian Black Jade

Peruvian black jade (also called Lemurian jade) is mined within the area of the capital Lima. It is a soft porous stone.

Because of its internal structure the polish never gets to the shine one is used to from other black stones like obsidian but rather stays a little more dull. We at Gemrock Peru, however, have developed a technique of dry polishing that provides the best possible polish on this stone.

Peruvian black jade comes many times with tiny pyrite sparkles or fine pyrite lines included, which is a good way to identify the rock.

Ethical & environmentally friendly mined

Black Jade is mined 100 % ethically and environmentally friendly by Gemrock staff by hand in an open quarry. No explosives are required. The only tools required are a hammer and water spray to check quality. The material is then paid by the kilo to the local artisan families who quarry here.

The quarry itself is located on the outskirts of the capital Lima in the coastal desert mountains. By nature, there is no vegetation, animal life, or water bodies in this area. Therefore there is no environmental impact.
