IMPERIOUS REX!
IMPERIAL ROYAL okay not a fictional Atlantean prince but rather the character for white over the character read as jade or ruler.
White jade was regarded as fit for kings emperors and royalty and not just by the Chinese.
Artisans associated with the Indian Mughal court created some very beautiful white jadeite vessel and other objects.
China's royalty valued necklaces of beads of white jade.
