proyecto de vida:
Using historical facts and geological evidences, we have carried out field
investigations, which allowed us to locate several mineral sources of the
stone identified as jade in different areas of the so-called cultural
subcontinent of Mesoamerica.
Working
with these stone materials coming from those sources in the regions of
Guerrero, Guatemala and mainly Chiapas, the base for the industrial
development of this product is created. Beeing possible to develop work
sources, that shares in a human and honouable way the economic benefits of
the activity we developed.
Considering
the great value, which was given to the products of this precious mineral by
various ancient people, we open the doors to a museographical space in San
Cristóbal, after 12 years of investigations and 3 years of operative work.
This museum values the enormous appreciation of the jade in the history of
eight Mesoamerican people: Mocayas, Olmecs, Zapotecs, Mixtecs, Teotihuacans,
Mayas, Toltecs and Aztecs.
To support
this cultural project and generally speaking the aims of the economic
development, the industrialization of the jewels is introduced with
prehispanic and avant-garde details, commercializing them in suitable spaces
in our facilities in San Cristóbal de Las Casas, Chipas and Antigua
Guatemala.
The House
of the Jade was founded in 1977 in the colonial city of Antigua Guatemala,
developed from the sources with own registration in an area of the Sierra de
las Minas in the county of Usumatlan Zacapa. Our main facilities are
located in a part of the El Jaulon building, considerated as a historical
heritage of the city.
In 1990,
after the discovery of sources in Chalchihuitan Chiapas, we begun to
consider our develop as an industry in México, taking advantage of this
circumstance given our company besides of a commercial vision a cultural
back up.
In 1999,
after widespread investigation, documentation and executive work, we opened
the House of the Jade in San Cristóbal de Las Casas, Chiapas, Mexico. In the
same city, in an old colonial-style house in the heart of the city, the
Mesoamerican Jade Museum opened its doors in October 2001, totally sponsored
by the House of Jade.
The House
of the Jade has more than 100 employees, beeing a leading and well-known
company in investigation, production, commercialization, in the quality of
its products and in the best service.
