The Mesoamerican Jade Museum is part of the cultural infrastructure of  La CASA del  JADE  (the House of the Jade), a leading enterprise in the knowledge and handling of the Jade in Mesoamerica.    In our workshops in San Cristóbal de Las Casas and Antigua Guatemala, this precious stone with great historical and cultural meaning is worked and transformed by expert craftsmen and designers, who combining it with gold and silver, achieve high-quality jewels, given a exclusivity and distinction seal. The jade comes from ancient sources located in the mountains of Chalchihuitan, 50 km north of San Cristóbal de Las Casas in Chiapas and from the basins of the Motagua River in Guatemala.

 

We work as well compiling the history, making archaeological reproductions of this precious mineral, which are exact copies of the originals, which can be found in museums and private collections all over the world. All our reproductions are accompanied by its information certificate and a certificate backed up by official archaeological institutions of Mexico, Guatemala, Honduras or Belize, according to the origin of the reproduction.

 

When you acquire a jewel of an archaeological reproduction through La CASA del  JADE  (the House of the Jade) you take with you a little piece of our planet, which started to be conformed in the earth crust 400 million years ago. You also take with you a fragment of the history of the precolombian people of America.   

The Jade has always been a symbol of eternal love.
