Chinese people valued jade above the others, thousands (hundreds?) of years ago jade costs more than gold in China.
it depends on country
in the arabian golf they valued the pearl
in north affrica ruby ,diamond
jade is "الحجر الكريم" such as emerlad 'الزمرد" ruby "الياقوت"
arab valued jade of course , but in my opinion nowadays gold is widly used .
