The ancient Aztec ruins in Mexico's Yucatan have statuary with jade eyes... ostensibly as a result of very early trade with the Chinese. Deposits of jade are found in the Orient, not Mexico.

There are massive deposits of high quality jade in the Americas. There are also huge quantities of jade in the American West.
