Jade is the honourable term used for two distinct minerals: Jadeite and Nephrite. Jadeite is often richer in colour (especially the imperial green variety), while Nephrite is typically a creamier green, darker green, or white. Both are prized for their exceptional toughness and smooth, waxy lustre when polished. Historically, Jade has been revered in many cultures, particularly in East Asia, as a symbol of nobility, virtue, and immortality, and is widely used in high-end carvings and jewellery.
Jade is known as the "Stone of Purity, Serenity, and Good Luck." It is a powerful protective stone that attracts good fortune, friendship, and abundance. It promotes self-sufficiency, releases negative thoughts, and soothes the mind by integrating it with the body. It encourages inner peace, harmony, and wisdom, helping the user to recognise and attain their true potential. It is also historically used to promote longevity and protect against harm.
