Stone History (for Lolz & the curious): It is an ancient stone that has historically been used to attract love and bring money into one's life. A stone of serenity, thought to alleviate anxiety and fear, promote good luck and prosperity, as well as to strengthen one's mental faculties and assist in clear reasoning. It's a traditional charm for gardeners; Jade is said to ensure bountiful harvests. Jade has been used as a protective stone, guarding against accidents and misfortune. A butterfly carved from jade holds a special romantic significance; an ancient Chinese legend tells of a youth who wandered into the garden of a wealthy mandarin in pursuit of a multi-colored butterfly. Instead of being punished for trespassing, his visit led to marriage with the mandarin's daughter (why am I picturing this in the Story of Saiunkoku). So, even today, in some contemporary cultures, a jade butterfly symbolizes successful love.
Jade is a part of a series called Birthstone Bishonen; AKA: 誕生石(たんじょうせき)の美少年(びしょうねん), or Tanjouseki no Bishonen. Essentially, each character is a personification of one of 35 (yes, *35*) of the most popular Birthstones. =ow~= <3

Credits: The majority of the free-use Photoshop brushes and patterns I highlighted throughout the seires are from the interwebs (yay Google!). There are a few that are from deviantART, but I've so many from so many different sources that I don't know who they came from. SORRY!!1 =>_<'''=
But! I did use A LOT of Gimei's { http://gimei.deviantart.com/ } resources. It's kind of obvious once you see 'em. Also take a gander at the rest of their gallery; it's amazing. =>w<= <3
