![]() Jade can't always be identified by its color-here, it comes in shades of green, blue, red, black, and brown-but this crystal can be easily verified by its immunity to scratching. This is best accomplished at the tideline, though treasure hunters are advised not to turn their back to the ocean as currents are strong. Though some adventurers shore dive here to find jade, it's more commonly searched for by sight in the sand. Still, none of the above have stopped local jade purveyors and tourists alike from seeking out this rare gem. On the contrary, there are actually a few barriers to entry here: The way down is steep and potentially dangerous at times the signs pointing the way go missing (locals who want to deter amateur hunters are generally suspected) and there are some regulations which restrict gem recovery. ![]() Unlike the first two locales on this list, Jade Cove-located in the Big Sur area of California-is not commercialized.
