Purely Jade Light (Lux Purissima per Iadem)

Purely Jade Light (Lux Purissima per Iadem)
Radiant Initiation in Living Stone and Light

Purely Jade Light is a design motif that begins where lineage, stone, and light meet.

The jade at the heart of this work comes from Jade City in the Cassiar Mountains of Canada—stone cut by my father with his own rockhound saws, handled with care and curiosity, and carried forward through time. Years later, that same jade was underlit and photographed by my hands, revealing something essential: light not resting on the surface, but passing through the body of the stone itself.

This is not color applied.
This is light revealed.

Those original underlit jade photographs form the starting palette for Purely Jade Light. Through overlay alchemy and True@Real Depth Coloring, the images are transformed into fabric patterns that behave differently than conventional prints. Jade becomes a living lens. Light becomes the collaborator. What emerges is not static patterning, but depth—color paths and inner harmonies that respond to movement, environment, and time.

Under changing light, the fabric shifts.
The longer it is worn and witnessed, the more it gives back.

Purely Jade Light is a radiantly initiatory motif. It invites presence rather than spectacle, attention rather than immediacy. It is designed for those who understand that beauty can unfold slowly, and that meaning deepens through relationship.

This design is now released on our Cotton Hoodie (Unisex), sustainably produced on demand and printed with original artwork by River Jade Smith Travis “Doby” Huffaker (RJSTH). A familiar, daily-worn form becomes a vessel for light, memory, and Green Worth—bringing the extraordinary gently into the everyday.

Design Ethos
• Jade sourced from Jade City, Cassiar Mountains, Canada
• Stone cut by the artist’s father using traditional rockhound tools
• Underlit and photographed by the artist as the originating palette
• Crafted through overlay alchemy and True@Real Depth Coloring
• Original art only — never AI-generated
• Produced on demand to reduce waste and honor source

Purely Jade Light is not a seasonal release, nor a limited edition. It is an ongoing, living body of work—part of the Ancient Now, carried forward toward the Ancient Future. It stands as an offering of continuity: father to son, stone to light, art to garment, wearer to world.

This is the Green Worth.
This is Lux Purissima per Iadem.
This is the Grail Smith’s work.
