Zusammenfassung

Between the V and III Millennium BC, the communities in Western Europe were deeply attracted to objects made of certain raw materials, such as jade or variscite. The choice of these rocks may have been due to their rarity as well as to physical characteristics such as their tenacity and, especially, a very attractive green color and glossy aspect. Moreover, it is very likely that green would have been imbued with an important set of meanings or symbolisms, being associated with such powerful concepts as life, fertility, or power. In this paper we will present a brief synthesis of the state of the art about two of these green rocks that were particularly popular in Western Europe during a significant part of Late Prehistory: jade and variscite
