Jade Gemstone Skull
Get it? JADED? I crack myself up!
Seriously though, Jade is such a cool gem stone. It can be found anywhere in the world that rock is formed under higher pressure. There are two main types of Jade - nephrite and jadite, each having their own unique properties. Nephrite Jade is the more common of the two and is typically a softer and more porous stone.
Most Jade is found in northern Myanmar in a region known as the Jade Tract, but it can also be found in China, Russia, New Zealand, Canada and the USA, to name a few places. With a Mohs hardness of 6-7, it is highly resistant to scratches, making it ideal to use in jewelry.
Jade is often associated with nobility and wealth, considered a protector of generations, both living and dead. Jade is also used for luck, healing, prosperity, purity, wisdom, tranquility, an increasing energy. So not only is it pretty, it is pretty powerful too!
Imagine holding this puppy in the palm of your hand!
Although the most popular color for Jade is green, t can be found in red, black, brown, gray, yellow, and white or cream, each with slightly different spiritual connotations. For example, yellow (or gold) Jade is often associated with peace, meditation, fertility and to strengthen love, whereas red Jade symbolizes strength, ambition and and pursuing goals with passion and determination. White Jade emphasizes peace and harmony, working with the Crown Chakra to clear the mind of distraction and negative thoughts.
