There are also extraordinary examples of quartz crystals, including a 7,000 faceted clear quartz egg! Part of the Smithsonian's collection includes pieces of jade and turquoise used in other cultures.
This includes a collection of Zuni Indian turquoise jewelry and jade lanterns carved from nephrite for the Chinese emperor Chi'en Lung in 1750. A more modern piece is the Dragon Vase, carved from a rare piece of lavender jade.
